Quaternary ammonium amalgams as Zintl ion salts and their use in the synthesis of novel quaternary ammonium salts.

Quaternary Ammonium Salts of Poly(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) as an Efficient Antibacterial Agent for Polylactide Textiles

Synthesis and antibacterial activity of quaternary ammonium salt-type antibacterial agents with a phosphate group.

Quaternary ammonium salts are frequently used as antibacterial agent that disrupts cell membrane through the binding of their ammonium cations to anionic sites in the outer layer tissue of bacteria. This article describes the synthesis of quaternary ammonium salt-type antibacterial agents with a phosphate group that strongly binds to hydroxyapatite and bromide ion as counterion. Evaluation of t...

N , N , N - triethyl ammonium L - Phenylalanine esters as potential antimicrobial agents

Quaternary ammonium compounds are an important class of molecules with wide variety of applications, mainly in the antimicrobial field. Quaternary ammonium compounds have the ability to bind with the anionic moiety of phospholipids of the bacterial membrane, disrupting the cell membrane of the microorganisms. However, classical quaternary ammonium salts can have adverse effects on the environme...

Microwave synthesis of quaternary ammonium salts.

The microwave synthesis of several quaternary ammonium salts is described. The synthesis provides comparable or better yields than published methods with reduced reaction times and in the absence of solvent.
