Synthesis and structure-antimicrobial activity relationships of quaternary ammonium derivatives of perhydropyrrolo-[3,4-c]pyridine

C Altomare et al. Arzneimittelforschung. 1992 Feb.

Abstract

A large homologous series of quaternary ammonium derivatives of perhydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridine 5 was synthesized and tested for in vitro antibacterial activity against different Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Compounds 5 proved to be always more potent than benzalkonium chloride, taken as reference. Antibacterial activity, expressed as log 1/MIC, was found linearly related to lipophilicity up to C13-C14 homologs, where a break in the linear relationship was observed.
