Synthesis and anti-microbial activities of some pyridinium salts with alkoxymethyl hydrophobic group.
A novel class of functionalized cationic surfactant has been obtained. The work-up procedure of synthesis is very simple, the yield is high and the pyridinium salts with alkoxymethyl hydrophobic group are easily purified. All the salts examined showed anti-microbial activities. Some of them exhibited strong activity and wide anti-bacterial spectra similar to the activity of benzalkonium chloride. The relationship between chemical structure and anti-microbial activity was analysed by the QSAR method.
