Abstract
Phenols represent an important class of compounds that present high antimicrobial potential. The seventeen selected phenols were tested in vitro for their antimicrobial activity showing different activity to S. aureus ATCC 25923, E. coli ATCC 25922, P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and C. albicans ATCC 90028. Most of the phenolic compounds have a good efficacy on S. aureus and C. albicans. 2- and 4-aminophenol have been found to be the most potent antimicrobial agents against S. aureus, with MIC values 0.170 mg/mL and 0.340 mg/mL, respectively. The frontier orbital energy and the global reactivity descriptors (calculated using Spartan 16 software) were discussed for the selected phenols; results revealed that the theoretical calculations of antimicrobial activity were related to the quantum chemical parameters.
期刊介绍:
The international journal of the Polish Pharmaceutical Society is published in 6 issues a year. The journal offers Open Access publication of original research papers, short communications and reviews written in English, in all areas of pharmaceutical sciences. The following areas of pharmaceutical sciences are covered: Analysis, Biopharmacy, Drug Biochemistry, Drug Synthesis, Natural Drugs, Pharmaceutical Technology, Pharmacology and General.
A bimonthly appearing in English since 1994, which continues “Acta Poloniae Pharmaceutica”, whose first issue appeared in December 1937. The war halted the activity of the journal’s creators. Issuance of “Acta Poloniae Pharmaceutica” was resumed in 1947. From 1947 the journal appeared irregularly, initially as a quarterly, then a bimonthly. In the years 1963 – 1973 alongside the Polish version appeared the English edition of the journal. Starting from 1974 only works in English are published in the journal. Since 1995 the journal has been appearing very regularly in two-month intervals (six books a year). The journal publishes original works from all fields of pharmacy, summaries of postdoctoral dissertations and laboratory notes.
