A new series of 4-({[2, 4-dioxo-2H-chromen-3 (4H)-ylidene] methyl} amino) sulfonamides have been obtained by the condensation reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin with various sulfonamides (sulfanilamide, sulfaguanidine, p-aminomethylsufanilamide, p-aminoethylsufanilamide, sulfathiazole, sulfamethoxazole, sulfamethazine and 4-[(2-amino-4-pyrimidinyl) amino] benzenesulfonamide) in the presence of an excess of ethylorthoformate. These compounds were screened for their in-vitro antibacterial activity against four Gram-negative (E. coli, S. flexneri, P. aeruginosa and S. typhi) and two Gram-positive (B. subtilis and S. aureus) bacterial strains and for in-vitro antifungal activity against T. longifusus, C. albicans, A. flavus, M. canis, F. solani and C. glaberata. Results revealed that a significant antibacterial activity was observed by compounds (4) and (5), (6) and (8) against two Gram-negative, (P. aeruginosa and S …
