Synthesis and antibacterial activity of aminodeoxyglucose derivatives against Listeria innocua and Salmonella typhimurium

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jf901609y

In this study aminodeoxyglucose derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial activity against two food bacteria, Listeria innocua and Salmonella typhimurium. 6-Amino-6-deoxy-α-Dmethylglucopyranose (GSA-6), 3-amino-3-deoxy-D-glucopyranoside (GSA-3), and β-D-glucopyranosylamine (GSA-1) were synthesized and concurrently tested with commercially available D-glucosamine (GSA-2) for antibacterial activity. Results obtained from this study showed a pronounced antagonist effect due to the position of amino groups of aminoglucose derivatives on the antibacterial activity. GSA-3 was the most active compound. At a concentration of 2 × 10 ^-4 mol mL ^-1, it delayed the growth of both bacteria with percentages of inhibition of 29 and 15% for L. innocua and S. typhimurium, respectively. At the same concentration the percentages of inhibition for other aminodeoxyglucoses varied between 5 and 18% and between 2 and 11% for L. innocua and S. typhimurium, respectively. All compounds were characterized by FTIR, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy.
