Abstract

Biologically active compounds with heteroaromatic ring system of cefotaxime sodium have been synthesized via aminomethylation reaction. The aminomethylation of cefotaxime sodium with various biologically potent sulphonamides/secondary amines was carried out and then characterized by elemental analysis and spectral studies – IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, Powder X-ray diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscopy. The compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity against various pathogenic bacteria at varying concentrations. The antibacterial activity of cefotaxime sodium derivatives was compared with parent sulphonamides. The toxicity of synthesized cefotaxime sodium derivatives was ascertained by LD50 test.
