Abstract

|
|
8-Acyl-2-hydroxyphenazine-5,10-dioxides and 8-acyl-2-aminophenazine-5,10-dioxides were synthesized by the reaction of hydroquinone and 4-aminophenol with 6-acylbenzofuroxans which had been obtained from acetanilide and n-acyl chlorides bearing butanoyl, hexanoyl and octanoyl groups. The antimicrobial activities of these phenazine dioxide derivatives were investigated in terms of minimum inhibitory concentration by the common twofold dilution technique. It was observed that the antimicrobial activity of the phenazine dioxide derivatives bearing octanoyl group was stronger than that of those bearing butanoyl and hexanoyl groups in gram positive microorgamisms, but it was observed that the antimicrobial activity and the number of the carbon atom of acyl groups did not have any relation in gram negative microorganisms. When the activity of xanthine oxidase which is the key enzyme in the generation of superoxide anion radical (O2-), was measured in the presence of phenazine dioxide derivatives, the inhibitory action of the enzyme activity of 8-acyl-2-hydroxyphenazine-5,10-dioxides was increased in accordance with the number of the carbon atom of acyl groups.
