Abstract:

The antibacterial activity of bisacodyl, a drug used in therapeutic as laxative, and its ferrocenyl analogues was investigated against Gram-positive and Gram-negative foodborne pathogens including Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Salmonella enterica, Micrococcus luteus and Staphylococcus aureus. The results showed that most of these compounds exhibit an excellent antimicrobial activity, and the bisacodyl analogues seemed to be more bactericides than bacteriostatic.

Keywords: bisacodyl; ferrocene; antibacterial activity
