A series of novel methylene-bis-[1,5]-benzothiazepines 4 and methylene-bis-benzofuranyl-[1,5]-benzothiazepines 5 were prepared by the reaction of methylene-bis-chalcones 3 with 2-aminothiophenolfollowed by the condensation with -bromoacetophenone. The structures of the synthesized compounds wereconfirmed by their IR, 1H, 13C NMR and Mass spectral analyses. All the synthesized compounds were tested fortheir antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria and fungi. Among the synthesizedcompounds, the compounds 4f, 4g, 5f and 5g were found to be the most active against Bacillus subtilis, Bacillussphaericus, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella aerogenes and Chromobacterium violaceum. Similarly thesecompounds showed potent antifungal effect against Candida albicans, Aspergillus fumigatus, Trichophytonrubrum, and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. It is interesting to note that the compounds with heterocyclic ringsubstituents at the 4th position of benzothiazepine system displayed notable antibacterial activity, almost equalto that of streptomycin and penicillin.
