On the antimicrobial activity of some new poly[2,6-bis(methyleneaminomethyl)-4-methyl]phenols and their N-iodoethylated salts.
The in vitro antimicrobial activity of the title polymers is described. Iodoethylation leads to a sensible improvement of activity only when the amino groups present in the main backbone of the polymers are connected by a long aliphatic chain.
