Synthesis, Characterisation and Antimicrobial Activities of Sulphonamides from Branched Chain Amino Acids
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Science
Abstract
This research explores the synthesis of sulphonamide compounds from branched chained amino acid (BCAAs), their characterization and antimicrobial activities. The procedure involved a mild reaction of branched amino acids including valine, leucine and isoleucine with benzenesulfonyl chloride in an aqueous basic medium. The characterization of the compounds was carried out using infra-red (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (1HNMR) and ultraviolet (UV-Vis) spectroscopies. The synthesized compounds were tested for their antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans. They were found to be potential antimicrobial agents.
