Eugenol (4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol, AMP), is a well known a biologically active phenolic component
and essential oil from Eugenia caryophyllata, which widely used of Eugenol as an antiseptic
and analgesic in dental care, so it is active against oral bacteria associated with dental caries and
periodontal disease as well as previous studies have shown the effect of Eugenol antifungal; anticarcinogenic;
anti-allergic; anti-mutagenic activity; antioxidant and insecticidal properties, therefore
it can be used in preparation of various food as a flavouring agent and cosmetic.
This study aimed to synthesize derivative new medical material 2-(4-allyl-2-methoxyphenoxy)
acetic acid (AMPAA) from eugenol (4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol) (AMP) and investigate the antimicrobial
activities of both AMP and derivative component (AMPAA), The minimum inhibitory
concentration (MIC); minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and sensitivity against six
pathogenic bacterial isolates: Streptococcus. pyogens; Enterococcus. faecalis; Escherichia. coli ;
Klebsiella pneumoniae; Bacillus. subtilis and Proteus. mirabilis with study compare the efficiency
for both AMP and AMPAA on the same bacterial isolate obtained from Iraqi hospitals.
In this present study synthesize new medical material (AMPAA) from AMP by reacting sodium
eugenate with sodium chloroacetic acid and prepare soluble water from eugenol and its derivative
AMPAAto scanning the antimicrobial efficacy against some pathogenic bacteria isolatesby two
common methods; well diffusion and broth dilution methods.
Results of the present study show all bacterial isolates were sensitive to both AMP and AMPAA
in low concentration except K. pneumoniae, also 10.0 and 5.0 μg/mL of AMP and AMPAA as
MBC for bacterial isolates except K. pneumoniae and P. mirabilis that’s meaning the new derivative
compound AMPAA has more efficacy on six bacterial isolate than eugenol (AMP).
By using Well diffusion method all bacterial isolates were sensitive to both (AMP and AMPAA)
in low concentration, but K. pneumoniae was killed in same concentration, so all isolates have
been killed at concentrations between (10 - 50 μg/mL) of new derivative compound (AMPAA), at
the same concentration of AMP were killed for K. pneumoniae and P. mirabilis) ,as well as all
isolates have varying degrees of sensitivity towards both (AMP and AMPAA), whereas all isolates
where more sensitive to AMPAA than AMP.
In conclusion, all bacterial isolate were sensitive to both AMP and AMPAA in low concentration
except K. pneumoniae, also 10.0 and 5.0 μg/mL of AMP and AMPAA respectively conceder as
MBC for bacterial isolate except K. pneumoniae and P. mirabilis, that killed in these concentration,
so at the same concentration of AMP and AMPAA bacterial isolates were sensitivity by well
diffusion method, whilst its killed by broth method, that’s consulate broth method was best than
diffusion method. |
