Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of N-Decylpyridinium Salts with Inorganic Anions

Resumo

Salts of N-decylpyridinium with various inorganic anions were prepared. Their structures and compositions were confirmed using IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Their antimicrobial activity against several strains of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and yeast-like fungi was studied. All tested compounds possessed a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity. The antimicrobial activity increased if chloride was replaced by the investigated inorganic anions.
