Dithiin diisoimides: Synthesis and their antimicrobial studies

Pak J Pharm Sci. 2020 Sep;33(5):2067-2081.

Abstract

Sixteen derivatives of dithiin diisoimide 2a-2p have been synthesized and screened for antibacterial and antifungal activity. Compounds 2a-2g and 2i-2p are almost same or more active than gentamicine against Acinetobacter. Whereby compound 2,6-didodecyl-1H,5H-pyrrolo[3',4',5,6][1,4]dithiino[2,3-c]pyrrole-1,3,5,7(2H,6H)-tetrone (2d) having zone of inhibition 20 mm against Acinetobacter is the most potent among all these compounds and can be used as lead compound for the treatment of Acinetobacter infection.
