New Biocide with Both <i>N</i>‐Chloramine and Quaternary Ammonium Moieties Exerts Enhanced Bactericidal Activity
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Considering the rise of antibiotic resistance, the development of new antibacterial agents with improved biocidal functions is urgently required. In this study, ionic 5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DMH) analogues containing either a quaternary ammonium moiety (2)-4) or a phosphonate functional group (5),-6), were designed and synthesized to investigate the possible enhancing effect of quaternary ammonium moieties on the antibacterial performance of N-chloramines. These ionic DMH analogues were converted to their N-chloramine counterparts either in free form or after being covalently immobilized on a polymer surface via the "click" chemistry method. In the subsequent antimicrobial assessment against multi-drug-resistant Escherichia coli (MDR-E. coli) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), chlorinated 2 and 3, the cyclic N-chloramines with a structural cation, exhibited distinctly enhanced biocidal functions in solution and after immobilization on surfaces.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
