Synthesis and evaluation of novel sulfenamides as novel anti Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus agents

A total of 29 novel sulfenamide compounds were synthesized, spectroscopically characterized and evaluated in vitro for antimicrobial activity against various infectious pathogens. Compounds 1b and 2c exhibited potent inhibition against clinical Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 1.56 μg/mL.

Twenty nine novel sulfenamide compounds were synthesized and their antimicrobial activities were evaluated. Compounds 1b and 2c exhibited strong anti-MRSA activity.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
