Abstract

A library of 31 mono- and bis-quaternary ammonium compounds based on 3-hydroxypyridine was synthesized. Primary screening of their antibacterial activity in vitro in six archival strains of bacteria revealed four highly active lead compounds surpassing commercial antiseptics benzalkonium chloride, miramistin, and chlorhexidine in their activity. Further in-depth study of the antibacterial activity of the lead compounds in vitro in 16 clinical bacterial strains and the study of their toxicity in vitro and in vivo showed that 2,6-bis(N,N-dimethyl-N-dodecylammoniomethyl)-3-methoxypyridine dichloride was the most active and least toxic and manifested a higher activity in comparison with benzalkonium chloride, miramistin, and chlorhexidine in clinical isolate of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as a moderate toxicity in vivo (LD50 = 82 6 mg kg−1, mice, oral administration). The quaternary ammonium compounds based on 3-hydroxypyridine are of undoubted interest for the further development of antibacterial drugs.
