U. Menkissoglu-spiroudi et al., Hypervalent iodine compounds as potent antibacterial agents against ice nucleation active (INA) Pseudomonas syringae, J AGR FOOD, 49(8), 2001, pp. 3746-3752
Twenty-three hypervalent iodine compounds belonging to aryliodonium salts,
1, aryliodonium ylides, 2, and (diacyloxyiodo)arenes, 3, were tested for th
eir antibacterial activities against ice nucleation active (INA) Pseudomona
s syringae, and the MIC and EC50 values were determined. All of the compoun
ds examined caused a dose-dependent decrease in bacterial growth rates. Ary
liodonium salts, especially those with electron-withdrawing groups, exhibit
higher antibacterial activities with MIC = 8-16 ppm, whereas the nature of
the anion does not seem to affect the activities of the diaryliodonium sal
ts.
