Synthesis of Methacrylate Monomers with Antibacterial Effects Against S. Mutans

Abstract: A series of polymerizable quaternary ammonium compounds were synthesized with the aim of using them as immobilized antibacterial agents in methacrylate dental composites, and their structures were characterized by FT-IR, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR analysis. Their antibacterial activities against the oral bacterium Streptococcus mutans were evaluated in vitro by a Minimum Inhibitory Concentration test, and the results showed that 2-dimethyl-2-hexadecyl-1-methacryloxyethyl ammonium iodide (C16) had the highest antibact… Show more

“…Since they were first introduced into dentistry 40 years ago, dental composites have achieved great development in resin matrix, inorganic fillers, and curing method, [1][2][3] and the development is still going on with the aim to obtain a safe dental composites with low polymerization shrinkage, [4][5][6] high mechanical properties, [7][8][9] antimicrobial function, [10][11][12][13][14] and so on.…”

“…28 The antibacterial mechanism is probably due to contact of the negatively charged bacterial sites and positively charged QAS, diffusion through the cell wall, binding to the cytoplasmic membrane, and/or disruption of the cytoplasmic membrane, release of cytoplasmic constituents, and cell death. 29,30,31 METAC showed better results at lower concentrations than other antibacterial copolymers (e.g., benzotriazole), which achieved antibacterial effect only at 5 wt%. 24 In this study, the in vitro antibacterial effect was not tested after a long period.…”

“…Some of the known structures with microbiological activity are the compounds containing quaternary nitrogen atom which are used in many fields, such as water treatment, medicine and healthcare products, food applications, and textile products. In this context, cationic compounds have attracted a great attention due to their water solubility and high antimicrobial activity [19][20][21]. The presence of a quaternary ammonium group enables the biostatic activity of B because of the positive charge at the N-atom inflicts a variety of detrimental effects on microbes, including damage to cell membranes, denaturation of proteins and disruption to the cell structure [22,23].…”
