(51) The present invention is directed to novel quaternary ammonium compounds that are linked to a UV-activatable moiety, methods for manufacturing the compounds and treating surfaces with the compound to provide a durable, antimicrobial-treated article.

(52) The quaternary ammonium compound of the present invention comprises a positively charged nitrogen centre linked to two alkyl groups which are independently the same or different, a UV activatable moiety and a long alkyl chain and a halogen counterion. The two alkyl groups are independently methyl, ethyl, n-propyl or i-propyl, most preferably methyl. The alkyl chain is preferably at least 12, preferably between 12 and 36 and most preferably selected from the group consisting of 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 carbon atoms long. The alkyl chain can be branched or linear and preferably linear. The UV activatable moiety is linked to the positively charged nitrogen centre via an alkyl chain of preferably three to six carbon atoms in length. The alkyl chain is preferably linear. The UV activatable moiety is preferably benzophenone. The halogen counterion is preferably selected from the group consisting of chloro, bromo and iodo, most preferably from chloro of bromo, with the proviso that when the halogen is bromo, the alkyl chain linking the UV activatable moiety to the nitrogen centre is three carbon atoms long and the two alkyl groups are methyl, the long alkyl chain cannot be 18 carbon atoms long.

(53) The quaternary ammonium compound of the present invention also comprises a positively charged nitrogen centre linked to two alkyl groups which are independently the same or different, a UV activatable moiety and a di-N-substituted-dialkylaminopropyl naphthalene-1-sulfonamide group of formula (VIb):

(54) ##STR00030##
wherein R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are independently hydrogen, C.sub.1-C.sub.6 linear or branched alkyl or C.sub.6-C.sub.10 aryl, preferably R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are methyl, ethyl, n-propyl or isopropyl and R.sub.5 is hydrogen. The two alkyl groups are independently methyl, ethyl, n-propyl or i-propyl, most preferably methyl. The UV activatable moiety is linked to the positively charged nitrogen centre via an alkyl chain of preferably three to six carbon atoms in length. The alkyl chain is preferably linear. The UV activatable moiety is preferably benzophenone. The di-N-substituted-dialkylaminopropyl naphthalene-1-sulfonamide group fluoresces under UV light and acts as an indicator of the presence of the quaternary ammonium compound.

(55) The quaternary ammonium compounds of the present invention can be prepared by modification of known synthetic techniques in the preparation of QACs. Generally, the first step involves reacting benzophenone with a dihaloalkane in the presence of an alkali metal carbonate in a polar, aprotic solvent under refluxing conditions. The dihaloalkane can have the same or different halogen groups, preferably selected from chloro, bromo and iodo. The dihaloalkane is from three to ten carbon atoms long, and is preferably four to nine carbon atoms long, more preferably five to eight carbon atoms long. The alkali metal carbonate is selected from the group consisting of sodium, potassium and cesium carbonate and most preferably potassium carbonate. The polar, aprotic solvent may be any suitable solvent; preferably it is selected from the group consisting of DMF, acetone, THF and acetonitrile. Most preferably the solvent is acetonitrile. The reaction mixture is heated until such time as the reaction mixture becomes substantially clear and a thin-layer chromatography (TLC) analysis shows the starting material has been consumed. Preferably the reaction mixture is heated to reflux. The final haloalkylbenzophenone product is isolated, preferably by filtration, preferably through Celite to remove the alkali metal halide by-product, which is further washed with a polar, aprotic solvent to extract any final product held in the Celite, evaporating the filtrate to dryness and purifying the final product preferably using a chromatographic method, most preferably column chromatography. The elution solvent is preferably a solvent mixture comprising ethyl acetate and hexanes. The final haloalkylbenzophenone product optionally can be further purified by recrystallization.

(56) Optionally, the haloalkylbenzophenone product of the previous step can be converted to an iodoalkylbenzophenone by reacting the haloalkylbenzophenone with sodium iodide in a refluxing polar, aprotic solvent, preferably acetone.

(57) The second step in the preparation involves reacting the haloalkylbenzophenone of the previous step where the halo is selected from chloro, bromo or iodo with a trialkylamine in a refluxing polar solvent. One of the alkyl groups of the trialkylamine is preferably at least 12, preferably between 12 and 36 and most preferably selected from the group consisting of 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 carbon atoms long. The alkyl chain can be branched or linear and preferably linear. The remaining two alkyl groups are independently methyl, ethyl, n-propyl or i-propyl, most preferably methyl. The solvent can be selected from DMF, acetone, THF, ethanol, methanol or acetonitrile. Most preferably the solvent is acetonitrile. The reaction is allowed to go until starting materials are substantially no longer present. One method of monitoring the progress of the reaction is via TLC. Other methods may be applied. The quaternary ammonium product is purified preferably by a chromatographic method, and most preferably by column chromatography. The elution solvent is preferably a solvent mixture comprising 6% sodium bromide in methanol and acetonitrile. The final quaternary ammonium product optionally can be further purified by recrystallization from a mixed solvent, preferably ethanol/acetone.

(58) Synthesis of quaternary ammonium compounds capped with a di-N-substituted-dialkylaminopropyl naphthalene-1-sulfonamide group of formula (VIb):

(59) ##STR00031##
wherein R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are independently hydrogen, C.sub.1-C.sub.6 linear or branched alkyl or C.sub.6-C.sub.10 aryl, preferably R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are methyl, ethyl, n-propyl or isopropyl and R.sub.5 is hydrogen can be carried out by reacting the haloalkylbenzophenone from the above step with a trialkylamine in which one of the alkyl groups is 5-dimethylaminonaphthalene-1-sulfonamidopropyl and the other two alkyl groups independently are selected from methyl, ethyl, n-propyl or i-propyl, preferably methyl. The halo group of the haloalkylbenzophenone can be chloro, bromo or iodo. The reaction can be carried out in refluxing polar solvent selected from DMF, acetone, THF, methanol, ethanol or acetonitrile. Most preferably the solvent is acetonitrile. The reaction is allowed to go until starting material are substantially no longer present. One method of monitoring the reaction is via TLC. The quaternary ammonium product is isolated by precipitation from the reaction mixture by addition of cold diethyl ether, more preferably diethyl ether at a temperature of about 10 C. to about 10 C. and most preferably at a temperature at about 0 C., and evaporation of the reaction solvent.

(60) The quaternary ammonium compounds of the present invention in another embodiment, can be used to antimicrobially treat hard surfaces. Without being bound by any particular theory, the UV activatable moiety of the quaternary ammonium compounds converts to a diradical species in the presence of UV light and reacts with any surface having CH bonds to form a covalent CC bond. The result is a fixed, durable antimicrobial coating of quaternary ammonium compounds.

(61) Treatment of articles, including hard surfaces can be done via dipping, painting, spraying or coating the surface with a solution of a quaternary ammonium compound of the present invention. A surface may be an inner and/or outer surface. The solution is environmentally friendly and comprises a water or a water-alcohol solvent mixture carrier, preferably water-methanol, water-ethanol or water-isopropanol, most preferably water or water-isopropanol. The amount of quaternary ammonium compound in the solution ranges from about 0.01% to about 1% and more preferably from about 0.05% to about 0.5% weight by volume. In one embodiment, polyvinylchloride previously washed with isopropanol and dried is treated with a 0.05% or a 0.5% solution of a C18 quaternary ammonium compound in which the UV activatable moiety is linked to the nitrogen centre with a C5 alkyl chain. The carrier is a water-methanol solvent mixture. The previously washed and dried polyvinylchloride (PVC) substrate is electrosprayed with the above solution followed by UV irradiation until a satisfactory coating is achieved. A typical UV wavelength of between about 200 and 400 nm, preferably between about 345 to about 365 nm is used. Optionally, the coated PVC substrate is rinsed with a water and isopropanol mixture and dried.

(62) With reference to FIG. 1, the PVC substrate treated with C18 quaternary ammonium compound in which the UV activatable moiety is linked to the nitrogen centre with a C5 alkyl chain was washed with water and treated with bromophenyl blue to show the antimicrobial treatment of the present invention. A second PVC substrate sample treated with the same quaternary ammonium compound was washed with ionic detergent, rinsed with water and bromophenyl blue to show the antimicrobial treatment of the present invention.

(63) With reference to FIG. 2, the silicone tubing substrate treated with 5-dimethylaminonaphthalene-1-sulfonamidopropyl quaternary ammonium compound fluoresces under UV light showing the presence of the antimicrobial treatment of the present invention.

Preparation of Self Assembled Monolayers on Polyvinylchloride (PVC)

(128) PVC was cut into rectangles and substrates were rinsed in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and water then dried in an oven for 30 minutes. A 0.05% and 0.5% (w/v) solution of 6a was made in H.sub.2O/MeOH and electrosprayed on the clean substrates three consecutive times with 5 minutes of irradiation time with UV in a fumehood in-between each spray. After the last spray substrates were irradiated once more for an additional 25 minutes. Unbound material was later rinsed from the substrates using H.sub.2O.

(129) Preparation of Self Assembled Monolayers on Silicone Tubing

(130) Using Peristaltic Pump

(131) Silicone tubing was rinsed with IPA and H.sub.2O using a peristaltic pump then dried by running air through the tubes. A 0.05% (w/v) solution of 8a in H.sub.2O and a 0.5% (w/v) solution of 4c in H.sub.2O/IPA were prepared. Tubes were coated using the peristaltic pump and filled tubes were irradiated using a UV fumehood for 25 minutes. Coated tubes were then rinsed with H.sub.2O to remove any unbound materials.

(132) Using a Syringe

(133) 1.5% (w/v) solutions of 8a and 4c in dichloromethane (DCM) were prepared. These solutions were pumped through clean silicone tubing using a syringe and irradiated using a UV quartz lamp for 30 minutes.

(134) Antimicrobial Test Method

(135) The antimicrobial efficacy was determined using a flow-cell method as described in Markison C and Swan J, The Effect of Humidity on the Survival of MRSA on Hard Surfaces, Indoor and Built Environment, 2006, 15(1), 85-91. A 1% tryptic soy broth and an inoculum of 1010.sup.4 cfu/mL of Pseudomonas spp. CTO7 were pumped through silicone tubing coated with 8a, 4c and a control tube for 30 hours. The tubes were then left stagnant for a period of 2 hours after which only the 1% TSB was allowed to flow through the tubes for 48 hours. During these 48 hours effluent samples of 100 L were collected periodically and plated on 10% trypticase soy agar (TSA) in a dilution series up to 1010.sup.4. Sampling periods were time zero, 3 hours, 6 hours, 24 hours, 27 hours, 30 hours, and 48 hours. The number of colonies grown on each plate was counted in order to determine antimicrobial activity.
