The tremendous rise in development of resistance to antimicrobials has created an alarming situation for researchers and clinicians. In this regard, an attempt has been made to develop a series of azole-based derivatives. The presented study consists of the design and synthesis of some newer derivatives by incorporating the isoxazole nucleus in the pharmacophore. These are also characterized physicochemically and by spectral means (IR and microanalysis). Moreover, the antioxidant activity of these derivatives was assessed using DPPH radical scavenging methods Finally, all of the newly isolated compounds were tested for their antimicrobial activities. Herein, antimicrobial screening using the agar disc diffusion method revealed that the majority of the derivatives are most active.
