Abstract:
A series of hydrazones based on hydrazides of o- and p-hydroxybenzoic acids have been prepared.
N-(5-Bromo-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-4-hydroxybenzohydrazide has been studied by X-ray diffraction analysis;its molecule forms hydrogen bond with a solvating ethanol molecule. Biological activity of the synthesizedhydrazones towards cathepsin Е and(or) elastase of human neutrophils has been determined.
