The outcomes are to be compared with typical drugs given that compounds are examined against gram-positive and gram-negative strains of bacteria and fungus. Against bacterial strains, products with nitro, methyl, and bromo substituents in the p-position of the benzene ring, as well as products with the nitro group at the m-position, showed very excellent activities against bacterial strains, while compounds with chloro substituent at p-position and m-position demonstrated good activity against the fungal strains Aspergillus niger and Fusarium javanicum. | Received 8 April 2023 Revised 14 June 2023 Accepted 12 August 2023 DOI RESEARCH ARTICLE Design synthesis and biological evaluation studies of novel thiophene substituted thiazolidinones scaffold as promising antimicrobial agents Dinesh R.
