Popis: Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as one of the most lethal drug-resistant bacteria in recent years. We report the synthesis and antimicrobial studies of 25 new pyrazole-derived hydrazones. Some of these molecules are potent and specific inhibitors of A. baumannii strains with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value as low as 0.78 µg/mL. These compounds are non-toxic to mammalian cell lines in in vitro studies. Furthermore, one of the potent molecules has been studied for possible in vivo toxicity in the mouse model and found to be non-toxic based on the effect on 14 physiological blood markers of organ injury.
