- Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of N-phenyl-acetamide sulfonamides designed as novel non-hepatotoxic analgesic candidates
-
In this paper we report the design, synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of a series of N-phenyl-acetamide sulfonamide derivatives (5a-g), planned by structural modification on the prototype paracetamol (1). In this series (5a-g), compound LASSBio-1300 (5e; ID50 = 5.81 μmol/kg) stands out as a new non-hepatotoxic analgesic drug candidate. The increase of area, volume and eletrostatic potential of paracetamol's analogues seems to be beneficial to the analgesic activity. Unlike paracetamol (1) and the other analogues (5a, 5d-g), compounds 5b and 5c presented an important anti-hypernociceptive activity associated to inflammatory pain.

- Effect of photodynamic antibacterial chemotherapy combined with antibiotics on Gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria
-
The well-known and rapidly growing phenomenon of bacterial resistance to antibiotics is caused by uncontrolled, excessive and inappropriate use of antibiotics. One of alternatives to antibiotics is Photodynamic Antibacterial Chemotherapy (PACT). In the present study, the effect of PACT using a photosensitizer Rose Bengal alone and in combination with antibiotics including methicillin and derivatives of sulfanilamide synthesized by us was tested against antibiotic-sensitive and antibiotic-resistant clinical isolates of Gram-positive S. aureus and Gram-negative P. aeruginosa. Antibiotic-sensitive and resistant strains of P. aeruginosa were eradicated by Rose Bengal under illumination and by sulfanilamide but were not inhibited by new sulfanilamide derivatives. No increase in sensitivity of P. aeruginosa cells to sulfanilamide was observed upon a combination of Rose Bengal and sulfanilamide under illumination. All tested S. aureus strains (MSSA and MRSA) were effectively inhibited by PACT. When treated with sub-MIC concentrations of Rose Bengal under illumination, the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of methicillin decreased significantly for MSSA and MRSA strains. In some cases, antibiotic sensitivity of resistant strains can be restored by combining antibiotics with PACT.
