Biological Evaluation of 1, 2-bis (2, 4, 6-Trinitrophenyl) Hydrazine

Abstract

1, 2-Bis (2, 4, 6-trinitrophenyl) hydrazine (3) and its precursor (2) were screened for its antimicrobial properties, namely, antifungal activity against Aspergilus niger and Alternaria aletrnata and antibacterial activity against Bacillus substalis and Xanthomonas campstris at different concentrations (0.5 % and 1%). The antimicrobial result exhibits the promising biological activity.
