A new organic-inorganic hybrid SO4[C6H9N2O2S]2, has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. This compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, spaces group Pbcn. In the title compound, the packing is stabilized by intermolecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking interactions between the phenyl rings, linking the molecules into three-dimensional network. The in vitro antimicrobial activity of di (4-sulfamoyl-phenyl-ammonium) sulphate was determined by the broth dilution method against several strains selected to define their spectrum and potency. Here we show that the synthetic sulfanilamide exhibits promising antibacterial potency. High inhibition was also detected against Candida albicans. In this paper we firstly showed the antifungal activity of the sulfanilamide against two serious phytopathogenic fungi. Interestingly, the new compound was able to suppress mycelial growth as well as the spores germination of tested fungi, values of spore germination vary from 97.6% to 37.5%, respectively for Botrytis cinerea and Fusarium species. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) ranging from 8 to 100 μg ml(-1) and IC50 values varying from 5.81 to less than 100 μg ml(-1)), showed that the sulfanilamide sulphate had high activity against bacteria, yeast and fungi, compared to others published antifungal compounds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
