Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of alkyl[2-(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)hex-1-en-1-yl]diphenylphosphonium salts
摘要
A series of alkyl[2-(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)hex-1-en-1-yl]diphenylphosphonium salts were synthesized based on the predicted lipophilicity (logP). The synthesized salts exhibited high antimicrobial activity against gram-positive bacterial and fungal strains and high activity against the antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains. The most active compounds showed low cytotoxicity against human erythrocytes and liver cells and exhibited high selectivity indices.
