Multimodal antibacterial potency of newly designed and synthesized Schiff's/Mannich based coumarin derivatives: potential inhibitors of bacterial DNA gyrase and biofilm production.

The briskened urge to develop potential antibacterial candidates against multidrug-resistant pathogens has motivated the present research study. Herein, newly synthesized coumarin derivatives with azomethine and amino-methylated as the functional groups have been focused on their antibacterial efficacy. The study proposed two distinct series: 3-acetyl substituted coumarin derivatives, followed by the Schiff base approach (5a-5i), and formaldehyde-secondary cyclic amine-based derivatives (7a-7g), using the Mannich base approach, further the compounds have been confirmed through various spectral studies.
