Abstract

A series of mono-and biquaternized derivatives of dipyridylethanes and dipyridylethylenes has been synthesized and characterized with respect to antimicrobial activity. The new compounds exhibit structure-dependent antimicrobial action on both Gram-negative (E. coli) and Gram-positive (St. aureus) bacterial species. Monoquaternized dipyridylethane and dipyridylethylene derivatives show a higher antimicrobial activity than compounds with two onium nitrogen atoms; derivatives of dipyridylethane are less active than the analogous derivatives of dipyridylethylene. A high antimicrobial activity (MIC ∼ 1 mg/ml) was observed for 1-[N-cetyl-(4-pyridinium)]-2-(4-pyridyl)ethylene.
