Novel N-benzoylimidazolium ionic liquids derived from benzoic and hydroxybenzoic acids as therapeutic alternative against Biofilm-forming bacteria in skin and soft-tissue infections
“…known as the 'side-chain effect,' refers to the heightened toxicity observed in longer alkyl side chains due to their increased lipophilicity. 74,[84][85][86][87] This higher lipophilicity contributes to the enhanced antimicrobial properties of the ILs. Recently, we found that the antibacterial activity of ILs increased with the increase of the cation side chain.…”
This review highlights the recent advances and emerging opportunities of ionic liquids in biomedicine based on their intrinsic advantages and potentials.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
