Dihydroeugenol derivatives associated with blue LED light: A different form to face multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria.

Eugenol has already had its pharmacological properties elucidated in previous studies, including antibacterial and antifungal properties. Based on such information, this study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial and modulatory activity of coumarin compounds prepared from dihydroeugenol and to associate them with blue LED light for the same activity. For this study, five of the substances available: compound 1 (C1), 8-methoxy-2-oxo-6-propyl-2H-chromen-3-carboxylic acid, compound (C2), 3-(hydroxy(4-nitrophenyl)methyl)-8- methoxy-6-propyl-2H-chromen-2-one, compound 7 (C3), 8-hydroxy-3-(4-nitrobenzoyl)-6-propyl-2H-chromen-2-one, compound 8 (C4), 3-(4-aminobenzoyl)-8-methoxy-6-propyl-2H-chromen-2-one and Compound 9 (C5), 8-methoxy-3-(4-nitrobenzoyl)-6-propyl-2H-chromen-2-one 2-one.
