© 2023 Elsevier B.V.A good yield of 1,2-diarylamino-1,2-diborolanes 2 was obtained from the reaction of 1,2-dichloro-1,2-diborolane 1 and ArNHLi (an anilide). The structures of these new derivatives were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The molecular structures of 2a and 2b were also determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Antimicrobial activities of synthesized compounds against some Gram-positive and -negative bacteria and yeasts were determined. Some compounds were found to have strong antibacterial and antifungal properties, especially against the bacterium, S. pneumonia, which is the causative agent of pneumonia, and the fungus, C. albicans, which is the causative agent of candidiasis. The compounds 2a and 3 had a powerful effect (compound 2a and 3 = 1 μgmL−1) against S. pneumoniae ATCC 27336 bacteria. In addition, compounds 2a, 3 and 2f were observed to have strong effects (compound 2a, 3, 2f = 2 μgmL−1) against C. albicans ATCC 10231 and C. utilis ATCC 9950. The results obtained were found to be more effective than the MIC values (128–64 μgmL−1) of Streptomycin and Flukanozol drugs used for bacteria and yeasts. The results of our study show that the synthesized substances can be used for new drug applications that are being developed against infectious diseases in the pharmaceutical industry. |
