In vitro antimicrobial activity was performed against S. aureus, S. epidermidis, P. mirabilis and E. coli using disk diffusion method. The MIC was detected using the double dilution method. The results were compared by calculating percent inhibition area/mg of the compounds with the standard drug ＂Ciprofloxacin＂.Selected compounds were evaluated for toxic effects using human hepatocellular carcinoma（HepG2） cell line by MTT-assay. Results revealed that some compounds of the series were found to exhibit better activity with less toxicity than Ciprofloxacin展开更多
