Antimicrobial and antifungal screening of indanone acetic acid derivatives
Abstract Indanone acetic acid is a non-heterocyclic fused ring of benzene with cyclopentananone moiety with acetic acid side chain in 1-position. This specific moiety has been synthesised and condensed with various substituents like PABA, piperidine, morpholine, benzimidazole, piperazine, pyrazolone and hydrazine to get the desired product for animicrobial screening by zone of inhibition study and MIC values with respect to some gram positive and gram negative microbes and fungal strains with reference standardantibiotics. The satisfactory result has beenfound in the antimicrobial and antifungal screening.
