2 (5 Nitro 2 imidazolylmethylene) 1 indanones; 1 tetralones, and acetophenones with aminoalkoxy substituents, groups and related compounds, were synthesized and their antimicrobial activities were evaluated. Some of these compounds surprisingly exhibited a broad antibacterial spectrum including Proteus species and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. High antitrichomonal activities were also observed in vitro minimum inhibitory concentration of 0.0004 μg/ml) and six compounds displayed in vivo activity against Trichomonas vaginalis in mice comparable to that of metronidazole.
