A new series compounds of quinoline derivatives were synt
hesized by reaction of 3-(carboxymet
hyl)-2-arylquinoline-4-carboxylic acids

h different nucleop
hiles. T
he structures of t
he new compounds were elucidated on t
he basis of FTIR,
1H-NMR,
13C-NMR spectral data, GC/MS, and c
hemical analysis. Investigation of
antimicrobial activity of all new compounds was evaluated using a brot
h dilution tec
hnique in terms of minimal in
hibitory concentration count against four pat
hogenic bacteria and two pat
hogenic fungi. Most of t
he new compounds were significantly active against bacteria and fungi.
