Abstract

Seventeen benzofuran derivatives were synthesized and screened for their antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Methicillin-resistant S. aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Seven of them have showed excellent antibacterial activities compared to the positive controls (Cefotaxime and Sodium Penicillin). The substitutions at C-6 and C-3 positions of these derivatives were found to greatly ...
