Zwitterionic pyridinium N-chloramine: Synthesis and Antibacterial Application

Key Points

• The aim is to synthesize zwitterionic pyridinium N-chloramines and evaluate their antibacterial properties.
• Utilized a poly step synthesis strategy to create zwitterionic pyridinium N-chloramines.
• Tested the antibacterial properties of synthesized compounds.
• Varied spacer structures to assess their effect on biocidal efficacy.
• Identified that spacer variation contributes minimally to enhancing antibacterial activity.
• Demonstrated the effectiveness of synthesized zwitterionic pyridinium N-chloramines against bacteria.
