Synthesis,characterization, anti-fungi and anti-bacterial activity of new [(2-pyridyl)-3-isatin]-bishydrazone

New (pyridine-2-carboxaldhyde)-3-isatin]-bishydrazone (cpish), (2-acetylpyridine)-3-isatin]-bishydrazone (apish), and (2-benzoyl pyridine)-3-isatin]-bishydrazone (bpish) have been synthesized and characterized by the elemental analysis, IR, NMR and electronic spectra. The bioefficiency of the (2-pyridyl)-3-isatin]-bishydrazones have been examined for their in-vitro antibacterial and antifungal activity against many types of bacteria and fungal cultures which are common contaminants of the environment in Egypt and some of which are involved in human and animal diseases or in plant diseases or frequently reported from contaminated soil, water, and food substances. The results of these studies indicate that the (2-pyridyl)-3-isatin]-bishydrazones possess notable antimicrobial properties.
