Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic synthesis technology, and specifically to a butylparaben cationic salt derivative, its preparation method, and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] Butyl paraben is a highly effective, broad-spectrum preservative, particularly effective against molds and yeasts, and is widely used in cosmetics and personal care products. Its core mechanism of action lies in the interference of its lipophilic molecules with microbial cell membranes and enzyme systems. Butyl parabens, in its lipophilic molecular form, penetrates cell membranes, inhibiting microbial growth or causing death through a dual action of physically disrupting membrane structure and chemically inhibiting key metabolic enzymes. Within the paraben family (methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben), antibacterial activity generally increases with increasing ester chain length. Therefore, butyl parabens exhibits stronger antibacterial efficacy than methylparaben and ethylparaben, especially against molds and yeasts.

[0003]

[0004] The application of butyl parabens is limited by several factors, including poor water solubility, insufficient antibacterial spectrum, health controversies (estrogen-like activity), pH dependence, and formulation compatibility. Therefore, in modern product formulations, butyl parabens is primarily used as a component of preservative systems, scientifically compounded with other preservatives and bactericides with different mechanisms of action to achieve synergistic effects, broaden the antibacterial spectrum, and delay drug resistance. Cationic antibacterial agents possess excellent antibacterial properties, broad spectrum, high efficiency, low risk of inducing biological resistance, excellent surface affinity and durability, good chemical stability and safety, low toxicity, and environmental friendliness. They also exhibit low foaming, strong slime-removing ability, and a wide pH range. Furthermore, cationic antibacterial agents can increase cell membrane permeability, enhance molecular penetration and mitochondrial accumulation, synergistically complementing the cell membrane bactericidal mechanism of butyl parabens, thus expanding its antibacterial spectrum and application range. Quaternary phosphonium salt antibacterial agents, in particular, represent a new generation of development direction for organic cationic bactericides. It is not simply a replacement for quaternary ammonium salts, but plays an irreplaceable role in fields with higher performance requirements, more complex environments, and the need for long-lasting antibacterial effects. Its core advantages can be summarized as follows: it exhibits stronger, more stable, and more durable comprehensive performance in combating stubborn microorganisms (drug-resistant bacteria, fungi, tuberculosis bacilli) under complex environments (high temperature, organic pollution, extreme pH) and in critical areas. Despite its higher cost, its value is increasingly evident in key fields such as healthcare, high-end materials, and public safety. Summary of the Invention

[0065] In conclusion, the cationic antibacterial derivatives of butylparaben exhibit excellent bactericidal effects against *Escherichia coli*, *Candida albicans*, *Staphylococcus aureus*, *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*, and *Aspergillus niger*. They are particularly effective against *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*, against which butylparaben has relatively weak inhibitory activity, thus expanding the antibacterial spectrum and application range of butylparaben. Specifically, P3 shows excellent bactericidal activity against *Escherichia coli*, *Candida albicans*, *Staphylococcus aureus*, *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*, and *Aspergillus niger*, while P1-P12 all show excellent bactericidal activity against *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*.
