In order to test the antibacterial and antifungal activities of different halogenated thymol derivatives, thymol has been converted into chlorothymol, dichlorothymol with N-chlorosuccinimide; monobromothymol, dibromothymol with N-bromosuccinimide; O-methylated iodothymol with ceric ammonium nitrate and iodine from methylated thymol. Among the different derivatives tested, 4-chlorothymol was found to be most active against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermis at a concentration of 12.5 and 25 ppm, respectively. Also it was tested to be active against Candida albicans (AI).
