Abstract
Five aminoalkyl 1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-diones were synthesized and evaluated for antimicrobial activity. Microorganisms used in this study included aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, and obligatory anaerobes Bacteroides fragilis, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron and Propionibacterium acnes. Moreover, Candida albicans yeast was used. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined for the test compounds. Among the tested derivatives, two compounds 1 and 2 have shown the most potent antibacterial as well as antifungal activities.
Introduction
It is known that antibiotic therapy, despite the unquestioned benefits of eliminating the pathogenic microorganisms, causes disorder in the composition of normal microflora and, in particular, the composition of anaerobes. This leads to various disorders, most often post-treatment diarrheas. It is also known that the sensitivity of strictly anaerobic bacteria to antimicrobial agents considerably differs from that of the relative anaerobes and aerobes. There are antibiotics that do not work for absolute anaerobes (aminoglycosides, cephalosporins) (Marshall and Blair, 1999; Zejc and Gorczyca, 1999; Durante-Mangoni et al., 2009) and those that affect only the absolute anaerobes (metronidazole) (Ralph and Kirby, 1975; Gulaid et al., 1978; Tall et al., 1978). In some infections (e.g., periodontitis), it is appropriate to administer an antibiotic acting only on anaerobes, because it does not interfere with the aerobic flora, which can have a very strong influence on the patient’s condition and health. The second problem is resistance to antibiotics, which generates a greater need for alternative treatments. Therefore, searching for selective microbial agents still seems important from the clinical point of view. Heterocyclic compounds such as succinimide, maleimides, glutarimides and their derivatives, other than anticancer and anticonvulsant agents (Sami et al., 2000; Braña et al., 2001, 2004; Bailly et al., 2003; Muth et al., 2003; Takada et al., 2004; Kazantsev et al., 2005; Hariprakasha et al., 2007; Quaquebeke et al., 2007; Schmitz et al., 2007; Sissi et al., 2007; Huang et al., 2009; Tian et al., 2009; Wu et al., 2009; Young et al., 2010; Mukherjee et al., 2011), may also exhibit antibacterial and antifungal properties (Haeberle and Eberle, 1982; Itoh et al., 1983; Takatori et al., 1985; Iragashi et al., 1990; Cechine Filho et al., 1994; Pereira et al., 1995; Zentz et al., 2002a,b, 2004).
On the basis of the information above and the results of our previous work on 17-azapentacyclo[6.6.5.02,7.09,14.015,19]nonadeca-2,4,6,9,11,13-hexaen-16,18-dione (Kuran et al., 2010, 2012), we synthesized five derivatives of 1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-dione (1–5, Equation 1) and evaluated their microbial activity. Four of these derivatives (1–3, 5) have been obtained previously (Mattocks and Hutchison, 1948; Gray et al., 1955; Zee-Cheng and Cheng, 1985) by using different methodology.
Results and discussion
All compounds 1–5 were tested against aerobic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Escherichia coli as well as selected obligatory anaerobes Propionibacterium acnes, Bacteroides fragilis and Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron and yeast strain Candida albicans.

These compounds show much better activity against the selected strains of aerobic bacteria then derivatives of 17-azapentacyclo [6.6.5.02,7.09,14.015,19]nonadeca-2,4,6,9,11,13-hexaen-16,18-dione studied by us previously (Kuran et al., 2010, 2012). The best activity is observed for compound 1, which inhibits the growth of all bacterial strains. Such activity has not been observed in any case for derivatives of 17-azapentacyclo [6.6.5.02,7.09,14.015,19]nonadeca-2,4,6,9,11,13-hexaen-16,18-dione. The activity results are shown in Table 1.

Derivatives of 1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-dione show much better activity against the anaerobic bacteria. Compound 1 inhibits the growth of all selected anaerobic bacterial strains at a concentration of 512 mg/L. In addition, it exhibits activity against P. acnes and B. fragilis (both obligatory anaerobes) at a concentration of 64 mg/L. Similarly interesting results were obtained for compound 2. It inhibits the growth of bacteria P. acnes at a concentration of 128 mg/L, and also B. fragilis at a concentration of 64 mg/L.
In light of the results of our previous and current studies, it can be suggested that the antimicrobial activity of the tested imide derivatives depends on two factors, namely, the imide structure and the nature of the aminoalkyl substituent. However, we are unable to say which of these elements has a greater impact on activity. The two classes of the considered imides, 1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-dione and 17-azapentacyclo[6.6.5.02,7.09,14.015,19] nonadeca-2,4,6,9,11,13-hexaen-16,18-dione, have a fairly large volume but are arranged differently in space (Figure 1).

Conclusions
Compounds 1 and 2 are easy to synthesize and possess significant antimicrobial activity.
Experimental
Melting points were determined in open capillaries using Electrothermal 9100 apparatus and are uncorrected. NMR spectra were recorded in DMSO-d6 on a Bruker VMNRS300 instrument operating at 300 MHz (1H NMR) and 75 MHz (13C NMR). Mass spectral ESI (electrospray ionization) measurements were carried out on a Mariner Perspective-Biosystem instrument with TOF detector. The spectra were obtained in the positive ion mode with a declustering potential of 140–300 V. Silica gel column chromatography was conducted using Merck Kieselgel 0.05–0.2 mm (70–325 mesh ASTM) and eluting with chloroform or chloroform/methanol, 250:1. Reactions were monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC) on silica gel (plates with 254 nm fluorescent indicator, layer thickness 0.2 mm, Kieselgel G., Merck), eluting with chloroform/methanol, 50:1.
General procedure for preparation of imides 1–5
A mixture of 1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-dione (0.01 mol), powdered anhydrous K2CO3 (0.01 mol), a catalytic amount of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) and a chloroalkylamine hydrochloride (0.01 mol) in acetone (30 mL) was heated for 8–14 h, as determined by TLC analysis. After the reaction was completed, the inorganic material was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue of 1–5 was purified by column chromatography. All products were converted to hydrochlorides and salts were crystallized from methanol.

Microbiology
Organisms
Standard strains of S. aureus ATCC 25923, E. coli ATCC 25922, C. albicans ATCC 14053, P. acnes ATCC 6919, B. thetaiotaomicron ATCC 29741, B. fragilis ATCC 25285 and one clinical isolate S. maltophilia CO 2275 were used.
Screening for antimicrobial activity
Compounds were tested for bacteriostatic activity at a concentration of 512 mg/L, and if the growth was inhibited a double dilution of the compound was prepared. A method according to CLSI (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, 2006) directives was applied.
The tested substances were dissolved in DMSO and then the solutions were added to brain heart infusion broth (BHI-B) medium to a final concentration of 512 mg/L.
The aerobic bacteria were cultured on plates with BHI agar (BHI-A) medium supplemented with 7% horse blood at temperature 35–37°C under aerobic atmosphere for 18–24 h. Anaerobes were cultured in Schaedler agar with 5% of sheep blood at 35–37°C for 48 h under anaerobic atmosphere. The fungal strain was cultured in the Sabouraud agar (SA), at the same temperature and atmosphere, but for at least 24 h. The cultures which were in mid-logarithmic phase of growth were suspended in 0.9% NaCl to obtain 0.5 Mac Farland’s optical density and in the case of anaerobes the value of 1.0 in the same scale. 1.0–9.0×105 cells (0.1 mL of the prepared suspension) were added to sample tubes with 2 mL of BHI-B broth medium containing the tested substances. For anaerobes all media were pre-reduced. Samples were incubated at temperature 35–37°C for 24–48 h and in the case of anaerobes for 48–60 h. If after 48 h (60 h for anaerobes), growth was absent, the substance was noted as potentially possessing antimicrobial activity.
In all experiments, strain vitality controls and a DMSO antimicrobial activity control were performed at the used concentrations.
