New Generation of N-Chloramine/QAC Composite Biocides: Efficient Antimicrobial Agents To Target Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria in the Presence of Organic Load.

ACS omega | 2018

We previously reported that covalently joining an amide-based N-chloramine with a quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) can yield a new composite biocide with faster inactivation of various bacteria. Importantly, the composite biocide was found to reduce the risk for potential bacterial resistance associated with QAC. However, similar to other N-chloramines and QACs, this high-performance composite biocide becomes less potent against pathogenic bacteria in the presence of high protein fluids. In this study, we substituted the amide-based N-chloramine moiety in the previously reported composite biocide with a secondary amine-based N-chloramine to improve the biocidal efficacy in biological fluids. The N-Cl bond in the synthesized tetramethylpiperidine-based composite biocides is more stable in a high protein medium (HPM) than that in the hydantoin (amide)-based composite biocides. The composite biocide, 2-[4-(1-chloro-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidin-4-yloxymethyl)-[1,2,3]triazol-1-yl]-ethyl-dodecyl-dimethyl-ammonium chloride (6a), showed the best antibacterial activity in both phosphate-buffered saline and HPM among various composite biocides and benzyldodecyldimethylammonium chloride used in this study.

ATCC (tool)

RRID:SCR_001672

Global nonprofit biological resource center (BRC) and research organization that provides biological products, technical services and educational programs to private industry, government and academic organizations. Its mission is to acquire, authenticate, preserve, develop and distribute biological materials, information, technology, intellectual property and standards for the advancement and application of scientific knowledge. The primary purpose of ATCC is to use its resources and experience as a BRC to become the world leader in standard biological reference materials management, intellectual property resource management and translational research as applied to biomaterial development, standardization and certification. ATCC characterizes cell lines, bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa, as well as develops and evaluates assays and techniques for validating research resources and preserving and distributing biological materials to the public and private sector research communities.
