Numerous 1,2-benzisothiazole and 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one derivatives, variously substituted in the different positions of the molecule, were tested for their in vitro antimicrobial activity. Some corresponding 1,2-benzisoxazoles and 1,2-benzisoxazolin-3-ones were also considered. Several compounds possess a potent and broad antibacterial and antifungal activity, particularly against Gram positive microorganisms, yeasts and dermatophytes. 1,2-Benzisothiazolin-3-ones were found to be the most active substances. On the contrary, the benzisoxazoles and the benzisoxazolin-3-ones considered were devoid of activity. The results obtained are discussed on the basis of structure-activity relationships.

D001419 Bacteria One of the three domains of life (the others being Eukarya and ARCHAEA), also called Eubacteria. They are unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms which generally possess rigid cell walls, multiply by cell division, and exhibit three principal forms: round or coccal, rodlike or bacillary, and spiral or spirochetal. Bacteria can be classified by their response to OXYGEN: aerobic, anaerobic, or facultatively anaerobic; by the mode by which they obtain their energy: chemotrophy (via chemical reaction) or PHOTOTROPHY (via light reaction); for chemotrophs by their source of chemical energy: CHEMOLITHOTROPHY (from inorganic compounds) or chemoorganotrophy (from organic compounds); and by their source for CARBON; NITROGEN; etc.; HETEROTROPHY (from organic sources) or AUTOTROPHY (from CARBON DIOXIDE). They can also be classified by whether or not they stain (based on the structure of their CELL WALLS) with CRYSTAL VIOLET dye: gram-negative or gram-positive. Eubacteria
D013329 Structure-Activity Relationship The relationship between the chemical structure of a compound and its biological or pharmacological activity. Compounds are often classed together because they have structural characteristics in common including shape, size, stereochemical arrangement, and distribution of functional groups.

D013844 Thiazoles Heterocyclic compounds where the ring system is composed of three CARBON atoms, a SULFUR and NITROGEN atoms. Thiazole
