3-propanoyl-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one was taken with semicarbazide which gives 2-(2-oxo-2H-1-benzopyran-3-carbonyl)hydrazine-1-carboxamide. The prepared Coumarin moiety containing 2-(2-oxo-2H-1-benzopyran-3-carbonyl)hydrazine-1-carboxamide derivatives is further condensed with some aromatic aldehyde derivatives which gives other class of Schiff base. Synthesized Schiff base are analyzed for their antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. The antioxidant test was done by DPPH and Nitric oxide and antimicrobial activities employed were S. aureus, Pseudomonas, E. coli, Candida albicans, A. flavus, A. fumigates.

 

Key Words: Azomethine moiety ,antioxidant, antimicrobial activity, Coumarin.

Lemna minor was used traditionally as antipruritic, antiscorbutic, astringent, depurative, diuretic, febrifuge and soporific. It was also used in the treatment of colds, measles, oedema and difficulty in urination. It contained carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, flavonoid, trace elements and many other contents. The pharmacological studies revealed that it possessed antimicrobial, antioxidant, cytotoxic and immunomodulatory effects. The current review discussed the traditional uses, chemical constituents and pharmacological effects of Lemna minor.

Lithospermum officinale was used traditionally as a remedy in diseases of the urogenital tract and as a spasmolytic, antidiarrhoeal, diuretic and lithotriptic, anti-gout, antitoxic, antiovulatory, febrifuge, for the stimulation of the digestion, for the elimination of foreign objects from the eyes and for the treatment of smallpox, measles and as antipruritic. Lithospermum officinale contained fatty acids, proteins, carbohydrates, pigments, minerals, shikonin, shikalkin, pyrrolizidine alkaloids, lavonoids and many other biologically active ingredients. The pharmacological studies revealed that it possessed endocrine, anticancer, burns healing, antimicrobial and antiparasitic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and protective effects. The current review discussed the traditional uses, chemical constituents and pharmacological and therapeutic effects of Lithospermum officinale.

Medicinal plants possessed antibacterial activities via many mechanisms, such as disruption of cytoplasmic membrane, inhibition of cell wall synthesis, inhibition of cell membrane synthesis, inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis, inhibition of energy metabolism, as well as inhibition of bacterial virulence factors, including quorum-sensing signal receptors, enzymes and toxins. Evidence of these molecular effects at the cellular level include inhibition of biofilm formation, inhibition of bacterial attachment to host ligands, and neutralisation of bacterial toxins. The current review highlighted the medicinal plants showed antibacterial activity with their spectrum and mechanisms of action.
