The current work aims to evaluate the antibacterial activity of hybrid compounds the inhibitors of RNA synthesis and their DNA-binding ability. Antibacterial activity of compounds against the clinical strains of bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis and Pseudomonas aureginosa was investigated by serial two-fold dilution method in a liquid medium. DNA binding ability of hybrid compounds was studied by the DNA migration through agarose gel assay. The significant concentration- and structural-dependent bactericidal action of hybrid compounds against Gram-positive pathogens was observed. The compound 6 [4-(1,3-benzoxazol-2-yl)-9H-thioxanthen-9-one], which inhibits both bacteria with MBC values of 7.6 μM was determined as the most effective. It was shown, that compounds 1 [1-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)phenazine ], 2 2 [4-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)acridin-9(10H)-one] and 4 [4-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-9H-thioxanthen-9-one] are able to bind to DNA duplexes. It is suggested that the inhibition of phage T7RNApolymerase by compound 2 can occur due to its DNA-binding ability.
