Novel sulfonamides were developed and structures of the new products were confirmed by elemental and spectral analysis (FT-IRESI-MS 1HNMR and 13CNMR) In vitro developed compounds were screened for their antibacterial activities against medicallyimportant gram (+) and gram (minus) bacterial strains namely S aureus B subtilis E coli and K pneumoniae The antibacterialactivities have been determined by measuring MIC values (120583gmL) and zone of inhibitions (mm) Among the tested compoundsit was found that compounds 5a and 9a have most potent activity against E coli with zone of inhibition 31 plusmn 012mm (MIC781 120583gmL) and 30 plusmn 012mm (MIC 781 120583gmL) respectively nearly as active as ciprofloxacin (zone of inhibition 32 plusmn 012mm)In contrast all the compounds were totally inactive against the gram (+) B subtilis
1 Introduction
Sulfa drugs containing sulfonamide functional group whichhave extensive biological activities revolutionised the field ofmedical sciences [1] Folic acid an important chemical forsynthesis of bacterial DNA and RNA is inhibited by sulfon-amides production of new DNA and RNA is decreased bythe deficiency of tetrahydrofolate which ultimately decayedthe bacteria Microorganismrsquos normal growth is inhibiteddue to mistaken attempt by bacteria to convert sulfonamideinstead of p-amino benzoic acid for synthesis of folic acidDue to such activities sulfonamides are also efficiently usedin agriculture field for antibacterial activities [2 3] Inhi-bition of carbonic anhydrases has been done by the drugscontaining sulfonamide functional group and these carbonicanhydrase inhibitors are also reported as potential anticancerantiglaucoma (as substituted heterocyclic and aromatic sul-fonamides) diuretics and antiobesity agents [4] Therapeu-tically sulfonamides are being widely used in human (espe-cially where other antibiotics are nontolerable to patients)
and veterinary practice [5] For agricultural purposes manyderivatives of sulfonamide have been reported due to theirantifungal [6ndash8] and herbicidal [9] properties The newerantibacterial drugs with different mode of action andmecha-nismhave become an emerging demand to overcome existingdrugs resistant pathogens As the pathogenic organisms (bac-teria fungi and mold) are exposed or treated medically withroutine antibiotic drug molecules they become considerablyresistant with emergence of new species as per mutationconjugation transduction or transformation The synthesisof new sulfonamides has got more attention of researchersfor their previous success in the field of pharmaceuticalsciences and medicinal chemistry In recent studies ten newsulfonamides have been synthesized and characterized by thereaction of p-toluene sulphonyl chloride with essential aminoacids (histidine and tryptophan) and amino group containingdrugs such as levetiracetam (anticonvulsant) famotidine(antiulcer) celecoxib (NSAID) ribavirin (antiviral) tranex-amic acid (antifibrinolytic) furosemide (diuretic) aspartame(nonsaccharide sweetener) and nicotinamide (vitamin B)

22 Antibacterial Activity Assay Escherichia coli ATCC25922 Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 Bacillus subtilisATCC 6633 and Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 13887 werecollected from Mycology Department University of Pun-jab Lahore Pakistan and were maintained in tryptic soyagar (TSA) medium slants at 5∘C until use A series often 2-fold dilutions were made by dissolving 10ndash30mg ofeach sulfonamide separately in 1mL dimethyl sulphoxide(DMSO) All the dilutions were made sterile in an autoclaveat 121∘C for 30minwith 15 psi pressure after filtration through022120583m membrane filter The minimal inhibitory concen-tration (MIC) was reported as absence of no observablegrowth by the lowest concentration of tested compoundsafter twofold serial dilution Ten individually numbered testtubes with screw capped are sterilized Tube 1 was filled with2mL of tryptic soy broth culture media including the stocksolution of synthesized compounds 10mL of this solutionwas introduced into Tube 2 and diluted with 10mL culturemedia and the procedure was repeated up to Tube 10 Theconcentration of all the compounds used for MIC valuewas 2ndash00039mgmL obtained by twofold serial dilutiontechnique The tubes were incubated at 25∘C for 72 hrsCiprofloxacinwas used as reference (positive control to checkthe sensitivity of tested bacterial strains) 1ndash3 times 108 cfumLof each of gram negative E coli and K pneumoniae andgram positive S aureus and B subtilis were obtained afteradjusting the optical density of inoculum at 02-03 and 03-04 (620 nm) respectively All the compounds and referencesolutions were applied (50120583L) onto a 6mm sterile filter paperdisc separately and the inoculated plates were incubated at37∘C for 24 hrsThe zones of inhibition (mm) were measured
and the antibacterial activities were evaluated Studies wereperformed in triplicate and zone of inhibition was calculatedwith the mean plusmn SD values
23 General Procedure for Synthesis of Sulfonamides A sim-ple method in aqueous media under dynamic pH controlis adopted for synthesis of sulfonamides Filtration afteracidification is involved for isolation of products [11] Allthe drugs were weighed accurately and dissolved completelyby addition of distilled water by constant stirring usingmagnetic stirrer The pH of the reaction contents was strictlymonitored andmaintained at 8ndash10 at regular intervals duringthe experimental reaction usingNa
2CO3solution (1M)Then
p-toluene sulphonyl chloride was accurately weighed andadded carefully into the above solution The reaction wascarried in round bottomflask equippedwithmagnetic stirrerAlkaline environment made the removal of hydrogen easierDuring stirring p-toluene sulphonyl chloride initially floatson the surface and the completion of reaction was examinedby the change in pH value due to formation of HCl bythe consumption of p-toluene sulphonyl chloride during thereaction On completion of the reaction pH was adjusted at2-3 using HCl solution (2M) The precipitates formed werefiltered throughWhatmanFilter PaperNo 42 washed severaltimes with distilled water and recrystallized using methanoland finally washed with water and acetone (9 1) and driedover anhydrous MgSO
4 Products formation was confirmed
through TLC (methanol water acetone in 60 20 20 ratio)

3 Results and Discussion
A series of ten sulfonamides were synthesized in aqueousbasic media by simple reaction of six amino group contain-ing drugs two amino acids and two amino acid analogs(nicotinamide is used as source of vitamin B and aspartameis sweetener used in various pharmaceutical liquid formula-tions) with paratoluene sulphonyl chloride with continuousstirring and details of reaction conditions are explained in
experimental section and synthetic pathway of sulfonamidesis explained in Scheme 1 The compounds 3a and 9a wereobtained in excellent yield (above 80) while the 3c 5aand 5b gave the poor yield (below 50) The remainingcompounds were obtained in good yield (69ndash77) Ele-mental analysis was performed for the conformation of allthe compounds and measurement of absorption maximum(120582max) provided the justification The physiochemical andanalytical data of synthesized sulfonamides are presented inTable 1 The synthesized compounds were characterized byFT-IR the characteristics band at 3263ndash3371 cmminus1 of N-Hamide stretching and 1174ndash1127 cmminus1 for (-N- S=O) and 1072ndash1010 cmminus1 (S=O) for all compounds reveals the formation ofsulfonamides [M+2]+ peaks obtained by ESI-MS representedthe isolation of sulfonyl group in all synthesized compoundsThe structures of all the compounds were also confirmedby 1HNMR and 13CNMR by dissolving in MeOD 1HNMRspectra of compounds 3c 5a 7a and 9a showed a signal at 120575703ndash761 while a signal at 120575 1611 and 1181 ppm for 11b and 11acorresponds to NH group of sulfonamide
A broad singlet due to ndashNH group was also obtainedfor compounds 3a 3b 5b and 13a at 120575 838 968 801and 951 ppm respectively The characteristics C- SO-NHsignals at 120575 131ndash139 ppm of all the compounds were shownby 13CNMRwhich identified the structures correctly Synthe-sized compounds were also screened for their antibacterialactivities against gram negative bacterial E coli and Kpneumoniae and gram positive S aureus and B subtilis byfollowing the guidelines of CLSI [12 13] using ciprofloxacin asreference antibacterial agent Among the bacterial strains thecompounds 3a and 3b have excellent antibacterial activitiesagainst K pneumoniae with zone of inhibition comparablewith control drug (MIC 625) Compounds 3c 5b 7a and9a showed moderate activities while remaining compoundshave no activity against the prescribed bacterial strainCompounds 5a and 9a exhibited excellent activities against

3 Results and Discussion
A series of ten sulfonamides were synthesized in aqueousbasic media by simple reaction of six amino group contain-ing drugs two amino acids and two amino acid analogs(nicotinamide is used as source of vitamin B and aspartameis sweetener used in various pharmaceutical liquid formula-tions) with paratoluene sulphonyl chloride with continuousstirring and details of reaction conditions are explained in
experimental section and synthetic pathway of sulfonamidesis explained in Scheme 1 The compounds 3a and 9a wereobtained in excellent yield (above 80) while the 3c 5aand 5b gave the poor yield (below 50) The remainingcompounds were obtained in good yield (69ndash77) Ele-mental analysis was performed for the conformation of allthe compounds and measurement of absorption maximum(120582max) provided the justification The physiochemical andanalytical data of synthesized sulfonamides are presented inTable 1 The synthesized compounds were characterized byFT-IR the characteristics band at 3263ndash3371 cmminus1 of N-Hamide stretching and 1174ndash1127 cmminus1 for (-N- S=O) and 1072ndash1010 cmminus1 (S=O) for all compounds reveals the formation ofsulfonamides [M+2]+ peaks obtained by ESI-MS representedthe isolation of sulfonyl group in all synthesized compoundsThe structures of all the compounds were also confirmedby 1HNMR and 13CNMR by dissolving in MeOD 1HNMRspectra of compounds 3c 5a 7a and 9a showed a signal at 120575703ndash761 while a signal at 120575 1611 and 1181 ppm for 11b and 11acorresponds to NH group of sulfonamide
A broad singlet due to ndashNH group was also obtainedfor compounds 3a 3b 5b and 13a at 120575 838 968 801and 951 ppm respectively The characteristics C- SO-NHsignals at 120575 131ndash139 ppm of all the compounds were shownby 13CNMRwhich identified the structures correctly Synthe-sized compounds were also screened for their antibacterialactivities against gram negative bacterial E coli and Kpneumoniae and gram positive S aureus and B subtilis byfollowing the guidelines of CLSI [12 13] using ciprofloxacin asreference antibacterial agent Among the bacterial strains thecompounds 3a and 3b have excellent antibacterial activitiesagainst K pneumoniae with zone of inhibition comparablewith control drug (MIC 625) Compounds 3c 5b 7a and9a showed moderate activities while remaining compoundshave no activity against the prescribed bacterial strainCompounds 5a and 9a exhibited excellent activities against
BioMed Research International 7
E coli almost the same zone of inhibition as by referenceciprofloxacin (MIC 781) while 3a and 7a showed no activity(MIC gt 500) The remaining compounds were moderateactive against the mentioned strain All the compounds weretotally inactive against the B subtilis Compounds 3b (MIC125) 5b (MIC 125) and 11b (MIC 625) showed moderateactivity while 11a exhibited poor activity against the S aureusand remaining compounds are totally inactive The MICvalues and zone of inhibitions are presented in Table 2
4 Conclusion
In conclusion ten novel sulfonamides were synthesizedthe reactions conditions are easy and excellent yields ofcompoundswere obtained and progress of reactionwasmon-itored byTLC and their structureswere confirmed by spectraland elemental analysis All the synthesized compounds wereevaluated for their antibacterial activities and the results oftheir bioassay indicated that the sulfonamides attached toamino acid (histidine) and antifibrinolytic (tranexamic acid)showed antibacterial activities comparable to ciprofloxacinalthough these two agents alone have no antibacterial activityThe results confirmed that the compounds which are inactiveagainst bacterial strains showed antibacterial activities afterformation of sulfonamides

3 Results and Discussion
A series of ten sulfonamides were synthesized in aqueousbasic media by simple reaction of six amino group contain-ing drugs two amino acids and two amino acid analogs(nicotinamide is used as source of vitamin B and aspartameis sweetener used in various pharmaceutical liquid formula-tions) with paratoluene sulphonyl chloride with continuousstirring and details of reaction conditions are explained in
experimental section and synthetic pathway of sulfonamidesis explained in Scheme 1 The compounds 3a and 9a wereobtained in excellent yield (above 80) while the 3c 5aand 5b gave the poor yield (below 50) The remainingcompounds were obtained in good yield (69ndash77) Ele-mental analysis was performed for the conformation of allthe compounds and measurement of absorption maximum(120582max) provided the justification The physiochemical andanalytical data of synthesized sulfonamides are presented inTable 1 The synthesized compounds were characterized byFT-IR the characteristics band at 3263ndash3371 cmminus1 of N-Hamide stretching and 1174ndash1127 cmminus1 for (-N- S=O) and 1072ndash1010 cmminus1 (S=O) for all compounds reveals the formation ofsulfonamides [M+2]+ peaks obtained by ESI-MS representedthe isolation of sulfonyl group in all synthesized compoundsThe structures of all the compounds were also confirmedby 1HNMR and 13CNMR by dissolving in MeOD 1HNMRspectra of compounds 3c 5a 7a and 9a showed a signal at 120575703ndash761 while a signal at 120575 1611 and 1181 ppm for 11b and 11acorresponds to NH group of sulfonamide
A broad singlet due to ndashNH group was also obtainedfor compounds 3a 3b 5b and 13a at 120575 838 968 801and 951 ppm respectively The characteristics C- SO-NHsignals at 120575 131ndash139 ppm of all the compounds were shownby 13CNMRwhich identified the structures correctly Synthe-sized compounds were also screened for their antibacterialactivities against gram negative bacterial E coli and Kpneumoniae and gram positive S aureus and B subtilis byfollowing the guidelines of CLSI [12 13] using ciprofloxacin asreference antibacterial agent Among the bacterial strains thecompounds 3a and 3b have excellent antibacterial activitiesagainst K pneumoniae with zone of inhibition comparablewith control drug (MIC 625) Compounds 3c 5b 7a and9a showed moderate activities while remaining compoundshave no activity against the prescribed bacterial strainCompounds 5a and 9a exhibited excellent activities against
BioMed Research International 7
E coli almost the same zone of inhibition as by referenceciprofloxacin (MIC 781) while 3a and 7a showed no activity(MIC gt 500) The remaining compounds were moderateactive against the mentioned strain All the compounds weretotally inactive against the B subtilis Compounds 3b (MIC125) 5b (MIC 125) and 11b (MIC 625) showed moderateactivity while 11a exhibited poor activity against the S aureusand remaining compounds are totally inactive The MICvalues and zone of inhibitions are presented in Table 2
4 Conclusion
In conclusion ten novel sulfonamides were synthesizedthe reactions conditions are easy and excellent yields ofcompoundswere obtained and progress of reactionwasmon-itored byTLC and their structureswere confirmed by spectraland elemental analysis All the synthesized compounds wereevaluated for their antibacterial activities and the results oftheir bioassay indicated that the sulfonamides attached toamino acid (histidine) and antifibrinolytic (tranexamic acid)showed antibacterial activities comparable to ciprofloxacinalthough these two agents alone have no antibacterial activityThe results confirmed that the compounds which are inactiveagainst bacterial strains showed antibacterial activities afterformation of sulfonamides

3 Results and Discussion
A series of ten sulfonamides were synthesized in aqueousbasic media by simple reaction of six amino group contain-ing drugs two amino acids and two amino acid analogs(nicotinamide is used as source of vitamin B and aspartameis sweetener used in various pharmaceutical liquid formula-tions) with paratoluene sulphonyl chloride with continuousstirring and details of reaction conditions are explained in
experimental section and synthetic pathway of sulfonamidesis explained in Scheme 1 The compounds 3a and 9a wereobtained in excellent yield (above 80) while the 3c 5aand 5b gave the poor yield (below 50) The remainingcompounds were obtained in good yield (69ndash77) Ele-mental analysis was performed for the conformation of allthe compounds and measurement of absorption maximum(120582max) provided the justification The physiochemical andanalytical data of synthesized sulfonamides are presented inTable 1 The synthesized compounds were characterized byFT-IR the characteristics band at 3263ndash3371 cmminus1 of N-Hamide stretching and 1174ndash1127 cmminus1 for (-N- S=O) and 1072ndash1010 cmminus1 (S=O) for all compounds reveals the formation ofsulfonamides [M+2]+ peaks obtained by ESI-MS representedthe isolation of sulfonyl group in all synthesized compoundsThe structures of all the compounds were also confirmedby 1HNMR and 13CNMR by dissolving in MeOD 1HNMRspectra of compounds 3c 5a 7a and 9a showed a signal at 120575703ndash761 while a signal at 120575 1611 and 1181 ppm for 11b and 11acorresponds to NH group of sulfonamide
A broad singlet due to ndashNH group was also obtainedfor compounds 3a 3b 5b and 13a at 120575 838 968 801and 951 ppm respectively The characteristics C- SO-NHsignals at 120575 131ndash139 ppm of all the compounds were shownby 13CNMRwhich identified the structures correctly Synthe-sized compounds were also screened for their antibacterialactivities against gram negative bacterial E coli and Kpneumoniae and gram positive S aureus and B subtilis byfollowing the guidelines of CLSI [12 13] using ciprofloxacin asreference antibacterial agent Among the bacterial strains thecompounds 3a and 3b have excellent antibacterial activitiesagainst K pneumoniae with zone of inhibition comparablewith control drug (MIC 625) Compounds 3c 5b 7a and9a showed moderate activities while remaining compoundshave no activity against the prescribed bacterial strainCompounds 5a and 9a exhibited excellent activities against
BioMed Research International 7
E coli almost the same zone of inhibition as by referenceciprofloxacin (MIC 781) while 3a and 7a showed no activity(MIC gt 500) The remaining compounds were moderateactive against the mentioned strain All the compounds weretotally inactive against the B subtilis Compounds 3b (MIC125) 5b (MIC 125) and 11b (MIC 625) showed moderateactivity while 11a exhibited poor activity against the S aureusand remaining compounds are totally inactive The MICvalues and zone of inhibitions are presented in Table 2
4 Conclusion
In conclusion ten novel sulfonamides were synthesizedthe reactions conditions are easy and excellent yields ofcompoundswere obtained and progress of reactionwasmon-itored byTLC and their structureswere confirmed by spectraland elemental analysis All the synthesized compounds wereevaluated for their antibacterial activities and the results oftheir bioassay indicated that the sulfonamides attached toamino acid (histidine) and antifibrinolytic (tranexamic acid)showed antibacterial activities comparable to ciprofloxacinalthough these two agents alone have no antibacterial activityThe results confirmed that the compounds which are inactiveagainst bacterial strains showed antibacterial activities afterformation of sulfonamides

3 Results and Discussion
A series of ten sulfonamides were synthesized in aqueousbasic media by simple reaction of six amino group contain-ing drugs two amino acids and two amino acid analogs(nicotinamide is used as source of vitamin B and aspartameis sweetener used in various pharmaceutical liquid formula-tions) with paratoluene sulphonyl chloride with continuousstirring and details of reaction conditions are explained in
experimental section and synthetic pathway of sulfonamidesis explained in Scheme 1 The compounds 3a and 9a wereobtained in excellent yield (above 80) while the 3c 5aand 5b gave the poor yield (below 50) The remainingcompounds were obtained in good yield (69ndash77) Ele-mental analysis was performed for the conformation of allthe compounds and measurement of absorption maximum(120582max) provided the justification The physiochemical andanalytical data of synthesized sulfonamides are presented inTable 1 The synthesized compounds were characterized byFT-IR the characteristics band at 3263ndash3371 cmminus1 of N-Hamide stretching and 1174ndash1127 cmminus1 for (-N- S=O) and 1072ndash1010 cmminus1 (S=O) for all compounds reveals the formation ofsulfonamides [M+2]+ peaks obtained by ESI-MS representedthe isolation of sulfonyl group in all synthesized compoundsThe structures of all the compounds were also confirmedby 1HNMR and 13CNMR by dissolving in MeOD 1HNMRspectra of compounds 3c 5a 7a and 9a showed a signal at 120575703ndash761 while a signal at 120575 1611 and 1181 ppm for 11b and 11acorresponds to NH group of sulfonamide
A broad singlet due to ndashNH group was also obtainedfor compounds 3a 3b 5b and 13a at 120575 838 968 801and 951 ppm respectively The characteristics C- SO-NHsignals at 120575 131ndash139 ppm of all the compounds were shownby 13CNMRwhich identified the structures correctly Synthe-sized compounds were also screened for their antibacterialactivities against gram negative bacterial E coli and Kpneumoniae and gram positive S aureus and B subtilis byfollowing the guidelines of CLSI [12 13] using ciprofloxacin asreference antibacterial agent Among the bacterial strains thecompounds 3a and 3b have excellent antibacterial activitiesagainst K pneumoniae with zone of inhibition comparablewith control drug (MIC 625) Compounds 3c 5b 7a and9a showed moderate activities while remaining compoundshave no activity against the prescribed bacterial strainCompounds 5a and 9a exhibited excellent activities against

E coli almost the same zone of inhibition as by referenceciprofloxacin (MIC 781) while 3a and 7a showed no activity(MIC gt 500) The remaining compounds were moderateactive against the mentioned strain All the compounds weretotally inactive against the B subtilis Compounds 3b (MIC125) 5b (MIC 125) and 11b (MIC 625) showed moderateactivity while 11a exhibited poor activity against the S aureusand remaining compounds are totally inactive The MICvalues and zone of inhibitions are presented in Table 2
4 Conclusion
In conclusion ten novel sulfonamides were synthesizedthe reactions conditions are easy and excellent yields ofcompoundswere obtained and progress of reactionwasmon-itored byTLC and their structureswere confirmed by spectraland elemental analysis All the synthesized compounds wereevaluated for their antibacterial activities and the results oftheir bioassay indicated that the sulfonamides attached toamino acid (histidine) and antifibrinolytic (tranexamic acid)showed antibacterial activities comparable to ciprofloxacinalthough these two agents alone have no antibacterial activityThe results confirmed that the compounds which are inactiveagainst bacterial strains showed antibacterial activities afterformation of sulfonamides
