Bioactivity assays of synthesized sulfanilamide-based imines.

Presenter(s)

Ella Ziel de Cruz, Elliott Bijnagte, Emily Roos, and Ashley Lopez

Abstract

We have examined the bioactivities of imines synthesized from sulfanilamide and aromatic aldehydes. Assays including disk diffusion and cell growth inhibition were performed on E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and S. aureus. In conjunction with this, optimized structures of these imines were docked with dihydropteroate synthase using SwissDock to determine relative binding energies. Comparisons between docking results and bioactivity assays were made to evaluate the correlation between binding affinities and antibacterial efficacy.
