| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Ultraviolet-A (UV-A)-mediated bactericidal activity was enhanced by combined treatment with isomerizable derivatives of p-coumaric acid and trans-ferulic acid. Synthesized derivatives contain methyl, butyl or phenyl group or an L-tyrosine HCl tert-butyl ester, respectively, linked to the carboxyl group of phenolic acid. Of the synthesized compounds, 14 exhibited the highest synergistic activity in a photobactericidal assay based on treating Escherichia coli with a derivative compound and UV-A irradiation (wavelength 350-385 nm). Addition of antioxidants significantly suppressed photosynergistic bactericidal activity, suggesting that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in the combined bactericidal mechanism. Flow cytometry revealed that combined treatment with UV-A and compound 14, which showed the highest photobactericidal activity, generates an excess of oxidative radicals in bacterial cells.
