Abstract
Abstract The present study reports a convenient approach for the synthesis of thiophene sulfonamide derivatives ( 3a – 3k ) via Suzuki cross coupling reaction. This method of synthesis involved the reactions of various aryl boronic acids and esters with 5-bromthiophene-2-sulfonamide ( 2 ) under mild and suitable temperature conditions. The compounds synthesized in the present study were subjected to urease inhibition and hemolytic activities. The substitution pattern and the electronic effects of different functional groups (i.e., Cl, CH 3 , OCH 3 , F etc.) available on the aromatic ring are found to have significant effect on the overall results. The compound 5 - Phenylthiophene - 2 - sulfonamide 3a showed the highest urease inhibition activity with IC 50 value ∼ 30.8 μg/mL compared with the thiourea (used as standard) having IC 50 value ∼ 43 μg/mL. Moreover, almost all of the compounds were examined for the hemolytic activity against triton X-100 with positive results obtained in most of the cases. In addition, the antibacterial activities of the derivatives of 5-arylthiophene-2-sulfonamide and 5-bromothiophene-2-acetamide were also investigated during the course of the study.
