ABSTRACT
The ongoing threat of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) complicated by the rise of Multidrug-Resistant (MDR) pathogens calls for increased efforts in the search for novel treatment options. While deriving inspiration from antibacterial natural compounds, this study aimed at using synthetic approaches to generate a series of glucovanillin derivatives and explore their antibacterial potentials. Among the synthesized derivatives, optimum antibacterial activities were exhibited by those containing 2,4- and 3,5-dichlorophenylamino group coupled to a glucovanillin moiety (compounds 6h and 8d respectively). In those compounds, the Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) of 128-256 µg/mL were observed against reference and MDR strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE). Moreover, these findings emphasize the claims from previous reports on the essence of smaller molecular size, the presence of protonatable amino groups and halogens in potential antibacterial agents. The observed moderate and broad-spectrum activities of the stated derivatives point to their suitability as potential leads towards further efforts to improve their antibacterial activities.
