“…Kojic acid is thought to act against some bacteria because of its chelating ability.1) However, according to a recent analysis, kojic acid and its analogs, with vari ous degrees of antibacterial action, probably act as free neutral molecules at the cell surface of the bacteria when common metallic ions are neither in excess nor depleted. 2) Here, we report supporting evidence for this previous analysis. We studied the re lationships between structure and chelating potency, and bacteriostatic activities under metal-depleted and -excess conditions using a series of analogs (I) where the 2-and 7positions have various substituents.…”

“…Kojic acid derivatives possess wide-ranging pharmacological activities such as antifungal [4], anti-neoplastic [5], antiproliferative [6], anti-HIV [7], anticonvulsant [8], anti-inflammatory [9], antioxidative [10], antibacterial [11], and tyrosinase inhibitory activities [12]. Because of these valuable properties, kojic acid derivatives are of great interest for the pharmaceutical chemistry.…”

“…3-Hydroxypyridine-4-one derivatives and their oxygen-containing analogues, 3-hydroxypyran-4-ones, belong to a class of iron chelators with reported in vitro antibacterial, antifungal and antimalarial activities [4][5][6][7]. They have shown inhibitory effects on the growth of Escherichia coli, Listeria inocua and Staphylococcus aureus [8][9][10]. We have previously reported the antimicrobial activities of novel Mannich bases of 2-alkyl-3-hydroxy-pyridine-4-ones as well as 1-alkyl substituted 2-alkyl-3-hydroxypyridine-4-ones.…”
