A series of eugenol derivatives (2-14) were synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial activity against five bacterial test strains; three Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis) and two Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium) using well-diffusion method. Among the compounds tested, compounds 2-4 displayed susceptible activity toward S. epidermidis with 16-18 mm whereas compounds 12 exhibited susceptible inhibition towards S. aureus only with inhibition diameter of 16 mm, respectively. Other compounds possessed varied antibacterial activities classified as intermediate or resistance indicating that eugenol derivatives have narrow spectrum activity and specifically to Gram-positive bacteria.

Objectives Eugenol, obtained from clove oil (Eugenia caryophyllata), possess several biological activities. It is anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anaesthesic, antipyretic, antiplatelet, anti-anaphylactic, anticonvulsant, anti-oxidant, antibacterial, antidepressant, antifungal and antiviral. The anti-oxidant activity of eugenol have already been proven. From this perspective testing, a series of planned structural derivatives of eugenol were screened to perform structural optimization and consequent increase of the potency of these biological activities. Methods In an attempt to increase structural variability, 16 compounds were synthesized by acylation and alkylation of the phenolic hydroxyl group. Anti-oxidant activity capacity was based on the capture of DPPH radical (2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl), ABTS radical 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid), measure of TBARS (thiobarbituric acid-reactive species), total sulfhydryl and carbonyl content (eugenol derivatives final concentrations range from 50 to 200 μm). Key findings Four derivatives presented an efficient concentration to decrease 50% of the DPPH radical (EC50) 100 μm, which has a good potential as a free-radical scavenger. Three of these compounds also showed reduction of ABTS radical. Eugenol derivatives presenting alkyl or aryl (alkylic or arylic) groups substituting hydroxyl 1 of eugenol were effective in reducing lipid peroxidation, protein oxidative damage by carbonyl formation and increase total thiol content in cerebral cortex homogenates. In liver, the eugenol derivatives evaluated had no effect. Conclusions Our results suggest that these molecules are promising anti-oxidants agents.
