Design, synthesis, and molecular docking of cysteine-based sulphonamide derivatives as antimicrobial agents
Background and purpose: The preponderance of microbial infections remains a global challenge. In the present study, synthesis of novel cysteine-based antimicrobial agents and their biological evaluation is reported. Experimental approach: The reaction of p-toluenesulphonyl chloride with cysteine aff...
