J. Pernak et A. Skrzypczak, 3-ALKYLTHIOMETHYL-1-ETHYLIMIDAZOLIUM CHLORIDES - CORRELATION BETWEEN CRITICAL MICELLE CONCENTRATIONS AND MINIMUM INHIBITORY CONCENTRATIONS, European journal of medicinal chemistry, 31(11), 1996, pp. 901-903
3-Alkylthiomethyl-1-ethylimidazolium chlorides were prepared in high y
ield via an S(N)1 reaction. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) v
alues of studied chlorides were determined by surface tensiometry and
the hydrophobicity index (HI) was calculated. The minimum inhibitory c
oncentration (MIC) against various microorganisms such as cocci, rods,
fungi and bacilli was studied. The quantitative relationship between
the MIC, the CMC and the HI was calculated.
