p-Guanidinoethyl calixarene and parent phenol derivatives exhibiting antibacterial activities. Synthesis and biological evaluation
摘要:
The tetra-para-guanidinoethyl-calix[4] arene, its distally-disubstituted ether derivatives involving 2,2'-bithiazolyl-or 2,2'-bipyridyl-methyl groups, as well as the para-guanidinoethylphenol and its analogous derivatives have been synthesized, fully characterized and evaluated as antibacterial agents towards both Gram positive and Gram negative reference bacteria. The simple phenolic species showed lower activity than their calixarene analogues, confirming the hypothesis that a synergistic effect should result from the spatial organization of guanidinium and heterocycles on a macrocyclic scaffold. Introduction of the bithiazole and bipyridine substituents enhanced the activity of simple phenol derivatives, reaching, for the two Staphylococcus aureus strains in particular, the values obtained for their calixarenic parents. MTT viability assays were carried out to determine selectivity indexes. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The antibacterial activities of the para-guanidinoethylphenol and of its cyclic tetramer, the tetra-para-guanidinoethylcalix[4]arene, have been evaluated on reference Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Antibiotic disk diffusion assays completed by micromethod technique were employed to determine if a synergistic effect could be expected from the spatial organisation of the monomer into its cyclic tetrameric analogue. Disk diffusion assays and microdilution experiments revealed better properties for the calixarene species, with a real and important gain of activity with regards to the monomer.
