Abstract

Synthesis of dendrimers with pentanone as core unit and m-terphenyl as surface end group has been achieved. The inhibitory activity of pentanone and its dendrimers against human pathogenic bacteria is well-documented.

Key words

pentanone - m-terphenyl - bactericidal screening - Enterococcus faecalis - Klebsiella pneumoniae - Escherichia coli
