Synthesis of azatricyclodiones & octahydro-benzo[f]isoindoles and their antimicrobial evaluation

J Enzyme Inhib Med Chem. 2008 Aug;23(4):476-82. doi: 10.1080/14756360701709383.

Abstract

A series of azatricyclodiones and octahydro-benzo[f]isoindoles have been synthesized by (4+2) Diels-Alder cycloaddition of maleimides with furfuryl amine. Reaction of azatricyclodiones with isocyanates led to the respective ureides. All of the compounds were screened against a number of bacteria and fungi. One of the compounds (2) displayed moderate antitubercular activity while two compounds (2) and (4) inhibited the fungal growth at 25 μg/mL.
