Synthesis and evaluation of novel naphthol diazenyl scafold based Schiff bases as potential antimicrobial and cytotoxic agents against human colorectal carcinoma cell line (HT-29)

In search of new antimicrobial and cytotoxic agents, a series of new naphthol diazenyl scaffold based Schiff bases (NS1–NS23) was efciently synthesized by condensation of 2-hydroxy naphthaldehyde azo dyes with various substituted aromatic/heteroaromatic/aliphatic amines.
