In vitro dental plaque inhibitory properties of a series of N-[1-alkyl-4(1H)-pyridinylidene]alkylamines
摘要:
A series of novel N-[1-alkyl-4(1H)-pyridinylidene]alkylamine hydrohalides has been prepared and evaluated as inhibitors of dental plaque formation, in vitro. Several members of the series exhibited potency ca. 9-fold greater than that of chlorhexidine vs Streptococcus sobrinus 6715-13. The di-n-octyl analogue, 11 (pirtenidine), was found to be highly efficacious against several other oral plaque-forming microorganisms and is presently undergoing preclinical evaluation.
Bispyridinamines: a new class of topical antimicrobial agents as inhibitors of dental plaque
摘要:
A series of N,N'-polyalkylenebis[4-(substituted-amino)pyridines] has been prepared, and members have been evaluated as potential anti-dental plaque agents. From among the most active members of the series, one compound, N,N'-[1,10-decanediyldi-1(4H)-pyridinyl-4-ylidene]bis(1-octanam ine) dihydrochloride, octenidine, was selected as a candidate for clinical study.
Bis-[4-(R-amino)-1-pyridinium]alkanes are prepared by reacting a 4-(R-amino)pyridine with an appropriate disubstituted alkane. The compounds are useful as antimicrobial agents. Certain species are also useful as dental plaque-preventive agents.
