A series of new coumarin derivatives coupled with benzamides have been synthesized and screened for their antimicrobial properties. Some compounds displayed promising antibacterial activity (MIC ranging within 5 – 150 μg/mL) and moderate antifungal activity as compared to the respective standards. Compounds 6p, 6l and 6m displayed promising antibacterial activity comparable with the standard drug ciprofloxacin, and compound 6m exhibited better antifungal activity in comparison to other synthesized compounds. In silico docking studies of the active compounds were carried out against the gyrase enzyme, and it was concluded that compound 6p exhibited significant hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions which could be the plausible reason for its superior activity as compared to the other synthesized compounds.
