N-Substituted N′-(2-alkylthio-4-chloro-5-methylbenzenesulfonyl) Guanidines – Antibacterial, Cytotoxic Activities and Theoretical Studies
Journal Title: Polish Journal of Microbiology - Year 2015, Vol 64, Issue 3
Abstract
A series of twenty nine [i]N[/i]-substituted [i]N′[/i]-(2-alkylthio-4-chloro-5-methylbenzenesulfonyl)guanidine derivatives bearing sulfonamide moiety have been screened [i]in vitro[/i] for antibacterial activity against isolates from patients with infections of oral cavity, respiratory tract and intestinal tract. The majority of compounds exhibited antibacterial potency against anaerobic as well as aerobic bacteria strains at concentration in the range of 6.2 to 100 µg/ml. The most active series of guanidine derivatives belonged to 1-[4-chloro-5-methyl-2-(4-trifluoromethylbenzylthio)benzenesulfonyl]guanidines and 1-[4-chloro-5-methyl-2-(naphthalen-1-ylmethylthio)benzenesulfonyl]guanidines. 1-[4-Chloro-5-methyl-2-(4-trifluoromethylbenzylthio)benzenesulfonyl]-3-(3-sulfamoylphenyl)guanidine ([b]13[/b]) showed very strong activity, with MIC ≤ 6.2 µg/ml against eleven bacteria strains belonged to Gram-positive anaerobes and aerobes. Furthermore, compound [b]13[/b] exhibited promising activity toward highly resistant microorganisms such as methicillin-resistant [i]Staphylococcus aureus[/i] and [i]Enterococcus faecalis[/i]. It was found that, [i]Parvimonas micra[/i], [i]Finegoldia magna[/i], [i]Peptostreptococcus anaerobius,[/i] [i]Propionibacterium acnes [/i]showed the highest susceptibility toward investigated guanidines. Quantum chemical calculations of structural and electronic parameters was performed due to explain some differences in biological activity. Theoretical studies revealed that in the cases of [i]P. micra[/i],[i] F. magna[/i], [i]P. acnes[/i] polar surface area (PSA) was the best descriptor to explain the different antibacterial activity of guanidines.
