Abstract

In this work, some new 2-[(4,5-dimethyl-1-(arylamino)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)thio]-1-(aryl) ethanone derivatives were synthesized and investigated for their antibacterial, antifungal and anticancer activities. Toxicity of the most effective compounds was established by performing Brine-Shrimp lethality assay. Antifungal activity of the compounds was found to be higher than antibacterial and anticancer activities of the compounds. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
