The Crystalline Structure Of Mm3, A Derivative Of Dapsone, Tommie L. Heltcel
McCabe Thesis Collection
Dapsone is a drug which has recently been discovered as a potential treatment for the disease of leprosy. Many of the derivatives of dapsone have been sent to the United States by Dr. M. Muhundam and Professor M.S.R. Naidu of the Department of Chemistry, S.V. University, Tirupati, India, for structure analysis. One such derivative is (E)-3-[2-[(4-Chlorophenyl) sulphonyl] ethenyl]-4H-l-benzopyran-4-one, which will hereafter be referred to as MM3. MM3 was synthesized and the initial data for the structural analysis taken in the departments of Physics and Chemistry at S.V. University, Tirupati, India. The drug has been found to have a high antibacterial …
