Bioactivity Assays of Synthesized Sulfamethoxazole-based imines
Presenter(s)

Abstract
We have examined the bioactivities of imines synthesized from sulfamethoxazole 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.
