Novel sulfanilamide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for carbonic anhydrase inhibitory activity as a target for the treatment of glaucoma, and antibacterial properties for use in chemotherapy. Synthesized compounds were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and photoluminescence. In vitro inhibitory activities were measured by UV–Vis and some of the compounds were found have greater inhibitory effects than the lead ...
