title: [N-substituted p-fluorobenzene sulfonamides with antimicrobial activity. I].
abstract: In an extension of the investigations on fluorine derivatives of potential pharmacological interest, some new p-fluorobenzensulfonanilides were synthesized and screened in vitro against many species of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and against some strains of Candida albicans. Some of these compounds exhibited significant antibacterial activity. The relation between activity and structure revealed that the presence of chloro and trifluoromethyl groups in the aniline ring increases activity against Gram-positive bacteria. The acute toxicity in mice was also determined.
