Synthesis and biological activities of Bis alkyl 1,3,4-oxadiazole incorporated azo dye derivatives

Abstract

3,5-Bis(alkyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-yl azo dyes were synthesized by a multi-step reaction sequence. Structures of newly synthesized compounds were characterized and confirmed by IR, NMR, and Mass spectral studies. The synthesized compounds were screened for their antimicrobial and in vitro antioxidant properties. The results of this investigation revealed that the newly synthesized compounds are potent antibacterial and antioxidant agents. All the synthesized compounds exhibit significant biological activity and certainly hold a greater promise for discovering potent biologically active molecules.
