Synthesis, characterization and anti-bacterial screening of Piroxicam based sulfonates
Abstract
A series of sulfonate esters derived from piroxicam was synthesized via simple convenient synthetic
route which involves the sulfonation of the enolic OH of piroxicam in one pot. The structures of the
newly synthesized compounds were established on the basis of modern analytical techniques. These
were evaluated for their antibacterial activities. All the compounds were found to be potent when
tested against gram positive and gram negative bacteria.
