In this study a series of dodecanoic acid derivatives (1-30) were synthesized and evaluated for in vitro antimicrobial activity against the panel of Gram positive, Gram negative bacterial and fungal strains. 4-Nitro phenyl dodecanoate (4) and quinolin-8-yl dodecanoate (5) emerged as most effective antibacterial agents, and 1-(4-benzylpiperazin-1-yl) dodecan-1-one (15) was found to be the most effective antifungal agent amongst the synthesized dodecanoic acid derivatives. Quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) studies performed by the development of one-target and multi-target models indicated that multi-target model was effective in describing the antimicrobial activity of dodecanoic acid derivatives as well demonstrated the importance of topological parameter, zero-order molecular connectivity index ((0)chi).
