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

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2013 Feb 1;23(3):724-7. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2012.11.103. Epub 2012 Dec 3.

Abstract

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.
