Abstract
Practical and efficient synthesis of phthalimides compounds3were described and characterized. The synthesized compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activities against gram-positive bacterial strains (Micrococcus luteus, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureusandBacillus cereus), a gram-negative bacterial strain (Salmonella typhimurium) and a fungus (Candida albicans). Cytotoxicity studies of the of phthalimides3were conducted in two human cancer cell lines,MDA-MB-231andMCF-7.
