Abstract

S-alkyl esters of thiosulfonic acids (R-S(O)2S-R') are structural analogs of natural sulfur-containing substances and have a broad spectrum of biological activity. The results of studying the sensitivity of microorganisms to ethyl S-ester of 4-acetylamino benzenethiosulfonic acid obtained using new “green” methods, particularly environmentally safe reactions under the influence of ultrasound, are presented. It was established that the studied substance's antimicrobial activity changed with a change in the m e dium's pH. In particular, with a decrease in the pH of the medium from 7.0 to 5.2 units, the minimum inhibitory concentration of the studied substance also decreased. Thus, the minimum inhibitory concentrations of ethyl ester of thiosulfonic acid against S taphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 and E nterococcus faecalis IMB B-7497 decreased from 62.5 to 31.2 μg/cm 3 , and A lcal i genes faecalis GISK 242484 – LI 415 from 62.5 to – 15.6 μg/cm 3 . It is also necessary to note the decrease in the minimum inhib i tory concentration of ethyl S-ester of 4-acetylaminobenzenethiosulfonic acid against isolates of E nterobacter сloacae and P se u domonas aeruginosa , respectively, from 250 and 500 to 62.5 and 125 μg/cm 3 . At a pH of 8.8 units, the minimum inhibitory concentration of the tested substance increased, compared to pH of 7.0 and 5.2 units. In particular, it was found that the min i mum inhibitory concentration against S. aureus ATCC 6538 was 250 μg/cm 3 , while at pH values of the medium of 5.2 and 8.8 units, respectively, it was 31.2 and 15.6 μg/cm 3 . In addition, the minimum inhibitory concentration against S almonella typhim u rium 144, E. faecalis IMB B-7497, A. faecalis GISK 242484 – LI 415, and S erratia marcescens 1 was 250 μg/cm 3 , while at pH values of the medium of 5.2 and 8.0 units, the MICs were lower. The sensitivity of gram-positive microorganisms to ethyl ester of thiosulfonic acid, in particular, S. aureus ATCC 6538 and E. faecalis IMB B-7497, with a decrease in the pH of the medium to the weakly acidic side , increased from 5.4 % to 7.1%, and in the weakly alkaline, on the contrary, decreased by 3.8%. The sens i tivity of gram-negative microorganisms, in particular, E scherichia coli ATCC 25922, S. typhimurium 144, P. aeru ginosa , E. сloacae , A. faecalis GISK 242484 – LI 415, S. marcescens 1, with a decrease in the pH of the medium to the weakly acidic side , increased from 2.3 % to 12.2%, and in the weakly alkaline medium decreased from 1.5 % to 18.2%.
