A number of 2′,3′,4′-trihydroxy-2-phenylacetophenone derivatives were synthesized and examined for growth inhibition of several kinds of bacteria. 2′,3′,4′-Trihydroxy-2-phenylacetophenone itself exhibited no antibacterial activity, but some of its derivatives showed various antibacterial activities depending on functional groups introduced on the 2-phenyl ring. Eighteen out of 24 compounds synthesized in this study appeared to possess antibacterial activities against at least two Gram-positive strains of Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus, 2-(biphenyl-4-yl)-2′,3′,4′-trihydroxyacetophenone being the most active with LC50 of 5.8 μm and 5.6 μm respectively. However, none of the synthesized compounds exhibited inhibitory effects on Gram-negative strains, such as Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Salmonella enterica, suggesting that anti-Gram-positive specificity of the antibacterial compounds.
研究人员合成了一些 2′,3′,4′-三羟基-2-苯基苯乙酮衍生物,并考察了它们对几种细菌生长的抑制作用。2′,3′,4′-三羟基-2-苯基苯乙酮本身没有抗菌活性,但它的一些衍生物根据在 2-苯基环上引入的官能团的不同而表现出不同的抗菌活性。在本研究合成的 24 种化合物中,有 18 种似乎对至少两种革兰氏阳性菌株枯草杆菌和金黄色葡萄球菌具有抗菌活性,其中 2-(联苯-4-基)-2′,3′,4′-三羟基苯乙酮的活性最高,半数致死浓度分别为 5.8 μm 和 5.6 μm。然而,合成的化合物均未对革兰氏阴性菌株(如大肠杆菌、变形杆菌、铜绿假单胞菌和肠炎沙门氏菌)产生抑制作用,这表明这些抗菌化合物具有抗革兰氏阳性菌的特异性。
