Abstract
Four (1, 2, 4 and 6) synthetic quaternary ammonium derivatives of pyranochromenones and (coumarinyloxy)acetamides were synthesized and investigated for their antimicrobial efficacy on MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), and multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enteritidis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain. One of the four compounds screened i.e. N,N,N-triethyl-10-((4,8,8-trimethyl-2-oxo-2,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrano[3,2-g]chromen-10-yl)oxy)decan-1-aminium bromide (1), demonstrated significant activity against S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and M. tuberculosis with MIC value of 16, 35, and 15.62µg/ml respectively. The cytotoxicity evaluation of compound 1 on A549 cell lines showed it to be a safe antimicrobial molecule, TEM study suggested that the compound led to the rupture of the bacterial cell walls.
