ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis and Biological Activity of Substituted 3-Fluoro/3-Trifluoromethyl 10H-Phenothiazines, Its Ribofuranosides and Sulfones

Antimicrobial studies, synthesis and characterization of novel 1-nitro-10H-phenothiazine bearing sulfone/nucleoside moieties

The current research article involves one pot synthesis of novel substituted 1-nitro-10H-phenothiazines via Smiles rearrangement. These substituted phenothiazines undergo oxidation to yield 10H-phenothiazine-5,5-dioxides (sulfones) while on treatment with β-D-ribofuranose-1-acetate-2,3,5-tribenzoate yield ribofuranosides. These compounds were screened for their antimicrobial vitalities (in vitro) against selected strains of bacteria and fungi. The characterization of synthesized compounds was done by elemental and spectral studies.
