Structure-activity relationship showed that compounds with methoxy or hydroxy groups at the ortho position, fluorine and nitro groups at the meta position and chlorine and bromine groups at the para posi- tion of phenyl ring were more active. Docking study indicated that compound 71 has important interactions with some key residues （including Asp151, Glu119, Arg292, Tyr406, and Asn347） and binds to 430-cavity adjacent to NA active site.

Synthesis and Antibacterial Activities of N- [（1-Aryl-3-phenyl-pyrazol- 4-yl）methylene]-2-（halo-o-hydroxyphenyl）hydrazide Derivatives

A series of novel N-[（1-aryl-3-phenyl-pyrazol-4-yl）methylene]-2-（halo-o-hydroxyphenyl）hydrazide derivatives was synthesized and the antibacterial activity of each of them was evaluated. The supposed reaction mechanism of acquiring compounds 3a--3d is that catalytic activity is enhanced by the electron-donating groups of the first phenyl ring while decreased by electron-withdrawing groups of that ring. The result of preliminary bioassay shows that the lowest minimal inhibitory concentration（MIC） of the title compounds against Escherichia coli is 2 ℃g/mL. MIC values against Monilia albiean and Staphloeoeeus aureus are as low as 4 ~g/mL. They will be a series of potential antibacterial compounds against fungi and gram-negative bacteria.
