Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of antibacterial materials technology, and relates to a 4-nitrobenzoic acid imidazole quaternary ammonium salt, its preparation method and application. Background Technology
[0002] Common microorganisms such as Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, and Staphylococcus aureus can easily cause dysfunction in the human body and induce diseases; a significant number of malignant infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms. Quaternary ammonium salt antibacterial agents are inexpensive and highly practical, and have become one of the most widely used and promising cationic antibacterial agents. The N-terminus of quaternary ammonium salts... + Positively charged bacteria can adhere to the negatively charged bacterial cell membranes via Coulomb attraction, disrupting the cell membrane structure, causing the cell contents to leak out, and ultimately killing the bacteria. However, the widespread use of quaternary ammonium compounds has led to a large number of drug-resistant bacteria, making bacterial resistance a significant issue. Finding safe, highly effective, and residue-free bactericides is a new development trend. The preparation of quaternary ammonium compounds also needs to evolve towards enhanced efficacy, improved biocompatibility, and expanded applicability.

[0041] Antibacterial test of test cases
[0042] (1)Antibacterial activity determination

At the same time, a 6 mm diameter circular filter paper was soaked in DMSO as a blank control. In the vicinity of an alcohol lamp, 100 μL of 6.0 x 10 6 CFU·mL -1 of Staphylococcus aureus bacterial solution and 100 μL of 2.0 x 10 7 CFU·mL -1 of Escherichia coli bacterial solution were uniformly coated on LB solid medium, and the filter paper soaked in the drug solution / DMSO was placed on the medium, and the culture dish was sealed with a sealing film. After incubation at 37°C for 24 h, the diameter of the inhibition zone was measured, and the results are shown in Figure 9 .

[0045] (2) Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination
[0046] Imidazole-m-nitrobenzoic acid co-crystals were prepared by the method of "evaporative crystallization" described in "Mao Hui-lin. Preparation and analysis of drug co-crystals [D]. Tianjin University, 2009. DOI: 10.7666 / d.y1675622." with deionized water as the solvent, and the MIC of the co-crystals for Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus was determined.
[0047] The MIC value was determined by the double dilution method. First, 100 μL of LB liquid medium was transferred to the required wells of a 96-well plate, and then 4-nitrobenzoic acid complex quaternary ammonium salt ([IM][4NO2BA]), 4-nitrobenzoic acid (4NO2BA), imidazole (IM), and imidazole-m-nitrobenzoic acid co-crystals (IM-m-nitrobenzoic acid) were dissolved in DMSO to prepare a drug solution with a concentration of 0.01 mol·L -1 , and 100 μL of the drug solution was added to the first well on the left side of each row of the 96-well plate. Then, by the double dilution method, the solution was diluted in gradient, and 100 μL of Staphylococcus aureus with a concentration of 6.0 x 10 6 CFU·mL -1 (or 100 μL of Escherichia coli with a concentration of 2.0 x 10 7 CFU·mL-1 The E. coli was added to each sample, and 3 groups of samples were parallel. A negative control (adding the bacterial solution and kanamycin), a positive control (only adding the bacterial solution), a solvent control (adding the bacterial solution and the solvent DMSO), and a blank control (only adding the LB medium) were additionally set. After being cultured in a thermostat at 37℃ for 18h, 50μL of 2,3,5-chlorinated triphenyl tetrazolium (TTC) with a concentration of 2g·L -1 The minimum concentration without red color was observed as the minimum inhibitory concentration of the sample, and Table 2, Figure 10 .
