Amidine Sulfonamides and Benzene Sulfonamides: Synthesis and Their Biological Evaluation

Abstract

New amidine and benzene sulfonamide derivatives were developed and structures of the new products were confirmed by elemental and spectral analysis (FT-IR, ESI-MS,1HNMR, and13CNMR). In vitro, developed compounds were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities against medically important bacterial strains, namely,S. aureus, B. subtilis, andE. coli, and fungi, namely,A. flavus, A. parasiticus, andA.sp. The antibacterial and antifungal activities have been determined by measuring MIC values (μg/mL) and zone of inhibitions (mm). Among the tested compounds, it was found that compounds3b,9a, and9bhave most potent activity againstS. aureus, A. flavus, and A. parasiticus, respectively, and were found to be more active than sulfamethoxazole and itraconazole with MIC values 40 μg/mL. In contrast, all the compounds were totally inactive against theA.sp. except10band15bto show activity to some extent.
