A series of sulfonamide derivatives HR1-HR5 were synthesized in one step reaction (nucleophilic substitution reaction SN 2 ). Structures of new products were confirmed by elemental and spectral analysis i.e., FTIR, UV, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, EIS-MS. In-vitro, antibacterial and anti-fungal activity of newly synthesized compounds was investigated against two bacterial strains: Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus and two fungal strains: Aspergillum flavous and Aspergillum niger. It was found that among all tested compounds HR2 showed good antibacterial activity with MIC 1.13 × 10 -3 and 1.54 × 10 -3 for S. aureus and E. coli respectively. While HR4 showed good antifungal activity with inhibition zone 25.2 ± 0.12 mm (MIC: 71.2 × 10 -3 mol/L) and 17.1 ± 55.5 mm (MIC: 98.9 × 10 -3 mol/L) against A. flavous and A. niger respectively. Developed compounds were also screened for their Invitro antioxidant activity by DPPH radical scavenging assay. All compounds showed moderate activity but potential activity with 15.75% at 6 mM was exhibited by compound HR2.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
