Abstract
AbstractThis study presents the synthesis of a novel series of imine derivatives derived from imidazo[1,2‐a]pyridine as potential therapeutic agents. The imines were obtained by condensing 2‐(4‐bromophenyl)‐6‐chloroimidazo[1,2‐a]pyridine‐3‐carbaldehyde with primary amines, leading to high‐purity products that were characterized using various spectroscopic techniques. The compounds demonstrated promising in vitro antimicrobial activity against various bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, as well as fungi, such as Candida albicans, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Aspergillus brasiliensis. Furthermore, the antioxidant properties of the imine derivatives were evaluated using DPPH and ABTS techniques, and the IC50 values measured revealed their ability to scavenge free radicals. Overall, this study provides a valuable contribution to the field of pharmacology by synthesizing a new series of imine derivatives with significant potential as new therapeutic agents, exhibiting both antimicrobial and antioxidant properties.
