Abstract

A series of novel sulfonamides containing 5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde or 5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzoic acid scaffolds were designed, synthesized and characterized by IR, H-1 NMR and C-13 NMR. All ten target synthesized derivatives and starting sulfonamides were evaluated in vitro for the activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium kansasii.

The most active compound against methicillin-sensitive and methicillin-resistant Staphyloccoccus aureus was 5-chloro-N-{4-[N-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)sulfamoyl]phenyl}-2-hydroxybenzamide with MIC 15.62-31.25 mu mol/L. 4-Amino-N-(thiazol-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide and 4-(5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)-N-(thiazol-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide have shown the best activity against M. kansasii at the concentrations of 1-4 mu mol/L. The efficacy against other strains was weaker and the studied derivatives exhibited almost none antifungal potency.
