Synthesis and carbonic anhydrase inhibitory properties of novel 4-(2-aminoethyl)benzenesulfonamide-dipeptide conjugates

Thirty novel sulfonamide derivatives incorporating dipeptide were synthesized by facile acylation through benzotriazole mediated reactions and their structures were identified by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, MS and FT-IR spectroscopic techniques and elemental analysis.
