Sulfadiazine salicylaldehyde-based schiff bases: Synthesis, antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity

The resistance among microbes has brought an urgent need for new drugs. Thus, we synthesized a series of Schiff bases derived from the sulfa drug sulfadiazine and various salicylaldehydes. The resulting 4-[(2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino]-N-(pyrimidin-2-yl)benzene-sulfonamides were characterized and evaluated against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, yeasts, moulds, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, nontuberculous mycobacteria (M. kansasii, M. avium) and their cytotoxicity was determined. Among bacteria, the genus Staphylococcus, including methicillin-resistant S. aureus, showed the highest susceptibility, with minimum inhibitory concentration values from 7.81 μM. The growth of Candida sp. and Trichophyton interdigitale was inhibited at concentrations starting from 1.95 μM. 4-[(2,5-Dihydroxybenzylidene)amino]-N-(pyrimidin-2-yl)-benzenesulfonamide was identified as the most selective Schiff base for these strains with no apparent cytotoxicity and a selectivity index higher than 16. With respect to M. tuberculosis and M. kansasii that were inhibited within the range of 8 to 250 μM, unsubstituted 4-[(2-hydroxy-benzylidene)amino]-N-(pyrimidin-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide meets the selectivity requirement. In general, dihalogenation of the salicylic moiety improved the antibacterial and antifungal activity but also increased the cytotoxicity, especially with an increasing atomic mass. Some derivatives offer more advantageous properties than the parent sulfadiazine, thus constituting promising hits for further antimicrobial drug development.

Antimicrobial activity of sulfonamides containing 5-chloro-2- hydroxybenzaldehyde and 5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzoic acid scaffold

A series of novel sulfonamides containing 5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde or 5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzoic acid scaffolds were designed, synthesized and characterized by IR, 1H NMR and 13C 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 μmol/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 μmol/L. The efficacy against other strains was weaker and the studied derivatives exhibited almost none antifungal potency.
