850. Bisdiguanides having antibacterial activity

Abstract: A series of bisdiguanides has been prepared either by condensing one mol. of a biscyanoguanidine with two mols. of an amine hydrochloride, or by the converse interaction of two mols. of an N-arylcyanoguanidine with one of a diamine salt. One of the products, 1 : 6-di-(N5-p-chlorophenyl-N1-diguanido)hexane (chlorohexidine B.P.C.), has found practical use as an antibacterial agent.

“…One is the reaction of N-(4-chlorophenyl)-cyanoguanidine in nitrobenzene at each of the amino groups of 1,6-hexamethylenediamine; alternatively, 1,6-di-(N 3 -cyano-N 1 -guanidino)hexane can be reacted with two equivalents of p-chloroaniline. 2 In the synthesis of Burns, 3 1,4-dicyanobutane was obtained by treatment of 1,4-dibromobutane with potassium cyanide. 1,6-Diaminohexane was precipitated as the HCl-salt after reduction of the cyanogroups.…”

“…The low toxicity of biguanide compounds has been verified and currently biguanide biocides, such as chlorhexidine, are popularly used all over the world [4]. Since the pioneering works of Rose et al [5,6] the biguanide compounds have been widely used as effective antimicrobial agents owing to their broad spectra of activity, high kill rate and low mammalian toxicity [7,8]. Mouse (LD,.)…”

“…The first of these, exemplified by compound 1 (alexidine), is bisbiguanides. Reports of the antimicrobial activity of alexidine date back to the 1950s (56), and it has antifungal activity and has been assayed as a potential chemotherapeutic compound (57,58). Alexidine represents an interesting molecule for use in characterizing ODC more fully.…”
