Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Antimicrobial compounds include a broad range of diverse chemical compounds which are capable of destroying microbes either through a cidal or killing action or by a stassis effect which inhibits further growth of the organisms to enable other defense mechanisms to destroy the same.
Irrespective of the particular mode of action, antimicrobial compounds have a desirable use in virtually every field of commerce from agronomy to zoology. Literally thousands of chemical compounds are known to have germicidal properties and hundreds of chemical agents are now utilized commercially for this purpose.
Unfortunately, many of these compounds are not effective in the presence of organic materials and others cause excessive damage to tissues and other living things. Although tissue damage is of little concern when antiseptic agents are utilized for disinfection of inanimate objects, other limitations such as corrosion, staining and other noxious effects become important considerations. On the other hand, tissue damage per se is a serious concern when a germicidal agent is used to combat disease of plants, animals and humans.
It is commonly believed that effective antiseptics are non-selective and that they have a universal spectrum of activity against all germs. Although this is generally true, it is important to note that significant exceptions do exist and that the relative susceptibility of microorganisms to a particular chemical compound are especially desirable. For example, hexachlorophene is primarily effective against gram-positive organisms and not effective against gram-negative organisms. Cationic antiseptic agents are not active against sporolating organisms. Certain bacteria are even capable of growing in 70% alcohol, whereas other germicides are inert to fungi and spores and antifungal agents are not bacteriacides.
Thus, the selectivity of an antiseptic germicidal compound is important and desirable. Those agents which are selective are unique since this type of target germicidal activity permits the destruction of an invading microbe without affecting the benign desirable microbial flora commonly found in the healthful environment. Unfortunately, however, there is not means by which the germicidal activity of a chemical compound may be predetermined or predicted to obtain a selective effect.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is accordingly a primary object of the present invention to provide a series of compounds which have a selective antimicrobial antiseptic and disinfectant action without having noxious properties.
It is another object of the present invention to provide compounds with selective microbicidal activity without the broad spectrum germicidal action that is expected for topical antibacterial agents.
It is yet a further object of the present invention to provide a series of compounds having these properties and to provide for the production of such compounds.
With the above and other objects in view, the present invention will be apparent from a further reading of the specification and of the appended claims.
With the above and other objects in view, the present invention comprises compounds of the general formulae:
Antimicrobial compounds of the formulae: ##STR2## wherein R and R.sub.1 =H, lower alkyl, halogen, methoxy, hydroxy, nitro, carboxy, aryl (preferably phenyl) substituted aryl (preferably substituted by lower alkyl) and sulfamyl, and R.sub.2 =hydrogen, lower alkyl, aryl (preferably phenyl) and substituted aryl (preferably substituted by lower alkyl) and wherein n is an integer fron 2-20, are provided. Also provided are the method of producing such compounds.
The above compounds, have selective antimicrobial antiseptic and disinfectant action without noxious properties.
The in vitro spectrum of activity shown by these compounds indicates that the same have a selective microbicidal activity without the broad spectrum germicidal action normally expected for topical antibacterial agents. Thus, for example, certain compounds of the invention are active against diplococcus pneumoniae but not against Klebsiella pneumonia. On the other hand, other compounds are found to possess selective activity against streptococcus pyogenes and salmonella typhosa without possessing broad germicidal properties.
Upon oral administration of the above compounds to mice, the LD.sub.50 is determined to be greater than 4 gm/kg which indicates negligible toxicity and a high degree of safety since the minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) for these compounds is less than 32 parts per million.
The compounds of the present invention may generally be prepared in accordance with the following general scheme: ##STR3## wherein X=C or N.
The following equations illustrate the production of the specific compound N'-N"-bis-[2-(6-chlorobenzimidazalyl)]-2,9-diazadecane diimidamide dihydrochloride: ##STR4##

The antimicrobial profile exhibited in terms of minimum inhibitory concentration indicates a highly selective action for these compounds.
