7-Alkyl-1,3-dihydroxyphenazine-5,10-dioxides were synthesized by the reaction of 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene with 6-alkylbenzofuroxans which had been obtained from aniline and n-alkyl alcohols bearing butyl, hexyl and octyl group. 1,3-Dihydroxyphenazine-5,10-dioxide was also prepared by the reaction of 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene with benzofuroxan. The surface tension of aqueous solutions of these phenazine dioxide derivatives was determined by surface tensiometer and it was found out that the surface tension decreased with an increase of the number of carbon in the alkyl group. The antimicrobial activities of these phenazine dioxide derivatives were investigated in terms of minimum inhibitory concentration by the common twofold dilution technique. The derivative bearing butyl group showed the highest activity among these derivatives examined. It was observed that the antimicrobial activity of these alkyl substituted phenazine dioxide derivatives was stronger than that of the unsubstituted phenazine dioxide derivative.
