It was characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, Mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. In addi- Schiff base; tion, the in vitro antibacterial and antifungal properties were tested against some human pathogenic Antibacterial activity; microorganisms by employing the disc diffusion technique and agar streak dilution method. All title Antifungal activity compounds showed activity against the entire strain of microorganisms. The relationship between the functional group variation and the biological activity of the evaluated compounds were well dis- cussed. Based on the results obtained, compound 5j was found to be very active compared to the rest of the compounds which were subjected to antimicrobial assay. ª 2011 King Saud University.
