Preferred Abstract (Original):
A
number of naringin based heterocyclic derivatives
dioxolan e and imidazolidin e have been
synthesized and evaluated for their antioxidant and biological activi ties. The chemical
structures of the newly synthesized compounds
were verified on the basis of spectral and
elemental methods of analysi s. Investigation of antibacterial activity of the se compounds w as determined
by measuring MIC value using broth micro d ilution method for G ram - positive
and Gram - negative bacteria , among th e various synthesized compounds. D ioxolane
showed the highest antibacterial
activity with minimal inhibitory
concentration (MIC) of 0. 125 mg/ml , in
addition this compound exhibit the best antioxidant
activity with inhibition concentration ( IC 50 ) of 18.7 μg/mL , compared with other semi
synthetic derivative .
