Abstract

The synthesis and structural characterisation of novel imino cyclophanes incorporating various spacer units is described. All the imino cyclophanes exhibit comparable antibacterial activity against Gram positive (Bacillus subtillus, Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram negative (Escherchia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia) bacterial strains. The imino cyclophanes also exhibit good antifungal activity against human pathogenic fungus, Candida albicans.
