Description

It was found that quaternary ammonium salts of benzofuroxan based on o-, m-, and p-dibromoxylenes are formed as a mixture of two tautomers. Only one bromomethyl group participates in the quaternization of benzofuroxan with different dibromoxylenes. Bacteriostatic activity of the most active mixture of tautomers was two and four times higher than the reference drug, chloramphenicol, with respect to Staphylococcus aureus 209p and Bacillus cereus 8035, correspondingly. Hemolysis of these compounds does not exceed 1%, i.e., such compounds are not toxic. Graphical abstract: .
