Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of Long-Chain 3,4-Epoxy-2-alkanones
نویسنده
چکیده
3,4-Epoxy-2-dodecanone, a major component in the preorbital gland of the African grey duiker (Sylvicapra grimmia), showed antimicrobial activity in preliminary tests. The C(11) to C(17) homologues of this compound were prepared and their activity against several pathogenic dermal bacteria and fungi was tested. 3,4-Epoxy-2-dodecanone and 3,4-epoxy-2-tridecanone inhibited the growth of Trichophyton mentagrophytes at 25 Îg/mL. Moderate inhibition of the growth of the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes and the lipophilic yeast, Pityrosporum ovale, was seen for several of the homologues.

A series of new 2-arylimino-3-aryl-5-[5?-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-2?-furylidene]-4-thiazolidinones (3a-l) have been synthesised by the condensation of 5-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-furaldehyde 1 with 2-arylimino-3-aryl-5H-4-thiazolidinones 2 in glacial acetic acid. The physical and spectral data of the synthesised compounds are determined. The synthesised compounds have been screened for their in vitro ...

Seventy-three N,N-disubstituted amides of long-chain, principally C(18), fatty acids were screened for antimicrobial activity against bacteria, yeasts, and molds. Amides containing an epoxy group exhibit a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity which is further enhanced by unsaturation. Mono-unsaturation alone does not contribute a broad level of activity to the N,N-disubstituted amides of th...
