Antitumor, antioxidant and antimicrobial studies of substituted pyridylguanidines

Molecules. 2013 Aug 27;18(9):10378-96. doi: 10.3390/molecules180910378.

Abstract

A series of N-pivaloyl-N'-(alkyl/aryl)-N''-pyridylguanidine of general formula C₄H₉CONHC(NR¹R²)NPy have been synthesized and characterized using elemental analysis, FT-IR, multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, and in the case of compounds 7 and 11, by single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD). The synthesized guanidines were tested for antitumor activities against potato tumor, and showed excellent inhibition against Agrobacterium tumefaciens (AT10)-induced tumor. The antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of these new compounds against various bacterial and fungal strains were also investigated.
