Among them, vibrio disease as one of the earliest discovered and most serious water-borne infectious diseases has gradually become the focus of attention. Marine vibrio is a kind of short heterotrophic gram-negative bacteria, facultative anaerobic, widely distributed in seawater and marine animals, many of which are halophilic, motile and oxidase positive. Among marine vibrio, Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio harveyi, Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio anguillarum have pathogenicity, which not only causes infection and death of cultured fish and shrimp, but also causes cholera, gastroenteritis and inflammation and other diseases in humans.

[0048] The anti-bacterial activity test substance is the synthesized target compound gallic acid derivative with urea structure; the bacterial strain used in the anti-bacterial activity test is Vibrio harveyi and Vibrio parahaemolyticus.

[0049] The anti-bacterial activity of the test substance was determined by the Oxford cup method, which is a drug diffusion method. The anti-bacterial compound diffuses through the medium, killing or inhibiting the bacteria around the drug, thereby forming an inhibition zone. The size of the inhibition zone reflects the degree of inhibition of the test substance on the indicator bacteria. For compounds with good activity, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was further determined.

[0050] Anti-bacterial activity determination of the test substance: Under sterile conditions, pour about 20 mL of sterilized beef extract peptone agar medium (for Vibrio harveyi and Vibrio parahaemolyticus culture) into a plate, add 200 μL of bacterial suspension after solidification, evenly spread with a spreader, and stand for 10 min. Place the Oxford cups vertically and evenly on the medium, add 200 μL of the test sample to the cups, perform 3 parallel experiments for each sample, and then move to a 37°C constant temperature incubator for incubation for 18 h. Then measure the diameter of the inhibition zone with an electronic digital caliper. The average value of three measurements was taken as the result.

[0051] The inhibition zone diameters of the compounds against Vibrio harveyi and Vibrio parahaemolyticus at a concentration of 1 mg / mL of the test solution are expressed as the average value ± standard deviation, n = 3.

[0052] The compounds in this series were prepared into a 1 mg / mL solution with methanol, and their MICs were determined. The specific test results are shown in the following table:

[0053] Table 1 Test results of the in vitro inhibition of Vibrio harveyi by target compounds

[0054]

[0055]

[0056] Note: The diameter of the Oxford cup is 7.80 mm.

[0057] As shown in Table 1, compared with the positive drug streptomycin sulfate, the inhibitory activity of compound 6 against Vibrio harveyi is better than that of the positive drug, the inhibitory activity of compounds 1 and 7 against Vibrio harveyi is comparable to that of the positive drug, and the inhibitory effect of the seven synthesized compounds against Vibrio harveyi is better than that of the raw material gallic acid.

[0059]

[0060]

[0061] Note: The diameter of the Oxford cup is 7.80 mm.

[0062] As shown by the results in Table 2, compared with the positive drug streptomycin sulfate, the inhibitory activities of compounds 6 and 7 on Vibrio cholerae are equivalent to that of the positive drug, and the inhibitory effects of 4, 5, 6 and 7 on Vibrio cholerae are better than that of the raw material gallic acid.

[0063] As shown by the results in Table 1 and Table 2, the gallic acid derivatives synthesized by the method of the present application have different degrees of inhibitory effects on Vibrio marinus, and the inhibitory effects of the compound 6 with a 3-Cl substituent on Vibrio harveyi and Vibrio parahaemolyticus are the best, with MICs of 0.0078 mg / mL and 0.0313 mg / mL, respectively.

[0064] In summary, the method of the present application is simple and safe, has high economic efficiency, wide application range, and simple post-processing, and is a fast and effective synthesis method; the raw material is easy to obtain and has a low price. The gallic acid derivatives synthesized by the method of the present application have different degrees of inhibitory effects on Vibrio harveyi and Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and are basically better than the raw material gallic acid, so the compounds have great implementation value and potential social and economic value.
