Frequent use of antibiotics causes the resistance of intestinal microorganisms and ineffective treatment of these diseases. The antimicrobial activity and biological properties of the selected ring-substituted 8-hydroxyquinoline-2-carboxanilides against Desulfovibrio piger Vib-7 were studied. The addition of these compounds in the cultivation medium inhibited the bacterial growth and the process of sulfate reduction dose-dependently. A significant cytotoxic activity under the influence of ring-substituted 8-hydroxyquinoline-2-carboxanilides was determined. The strongest cytotoxic effect of the derivatives was observed for compounds 8-hydroxy-N-(3-methoxyphenyl)quinoline-2-carboxamide and 8-hydroxy-N-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)quinoline-2-carboxamide that caused a low survival of D. piger Vib-7 in concentration 17 μM and high toxicity rates.Graphical abstract
