Quaternary ammonium N,N-dichloroamines as topical, antimicrobial agents

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2009 May 15;19(10):2731-4. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2009.03.120. Epub 2009 Mar 28.

Abstract

A series of backbone modified and sulfonic acid replacement analogs of our topical, clinical candidate (iii) were synthesized. Their antimicrobial activities and aqueous stabilities at pH 4 and pH 7 were determined, and has led us to identify quaternary ammonium N,N-dichloroamines as a new class of topical antimicrobial agents.
