The reactlon to prepare the compounds o~ Formulas I or II above is conveniently carried out by reacting two moles of a 4-(R-amino)pyridine (Formula (III) with one mole of an appropriately disubstituted alkane or xylene tformula IV or V) in an inert solvent such as a lower-alkanol, acetonitrile, N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethyl-acetamide, benzene, toluene, xylene and the like, at a ` temperature of from about 80C. to 150C. for a period of from 1 to 24 hours. Usually the reactants are heated at ~60C. to 100C. in acetonitrile or N,N-dimethylformamide or a mixture of these solvents or in a lower-alkanol for about 2 to 20 hours.
' Alternatively the reaction may be carried out in the absence of a solvent by heating stoichiometric quantities : of the reactants at 120-150C. for about 2 to 5 hours.
;, .
The resulting bis-[4-(R-amino)-l-pyridinium~
compounds (formulas I and II) are isolated according to ~ conventional methods, for example by filtration, if the ;~ product is insoluble in the reaction medium, or by dilution ` of the reaction mixture with a non-polar solvent such as ether, benzene or hexane in order to precipitate the product or by evaporation of the reaction medium to leave the product ~l as a residue. The isolated crude product can be purified by j crystallization from a suitable solvent in the presence of , 1 an adsorbent, e.g. charcoal or diatomaceous earth.
The bis-[4-(R-amino)-l-pyridiniu~ compounds produced . ~. .
in accordance with the above-described method, will, of course, contain an anion ~A in formulas I and II) which corresponds to the leaving group of the reactant disubstituted alkane or xylene ~Z in formulas IV and V)~
.
~ : -13-~L~D'7~3~

However, the anionic molety o~ the~e c~mpounds can be variedj ir desired, according to conventional ion exchange me~hods, for example by passlng a ~olutlon of a pyridinium compound in a suitable solvent, e.g. methanol, ethanol or water through a bed of synthetic ion exchange resin containing the desired anion. The solvent is evaporated and the resulting pyridinium compound containing the desired anion is purified by recrystallization from a suitable solvent.
Alternatively, a pyridinium compound can be reacted with a soluble salt containing the desired anion in association with a counter-cation which combines with the anion of the pyridinium compound to produce an insoluble precipitate.
The latter is separated leaving a solution of the pyridinium compound con~aining the desired anion. For example a bis-, 15 14-(R-amino)-l-pyridinium]alkane dihalide is reacted with the silver salt of an organic or inorganic acid.

The above type of metathetical reaction can also 2~) be employed to prepare insoluble pyridinium compounds.

~ Conveniently, the 4-(R-amino)pyridines are prepared f ~ by reacting 4-chloro or 4-bromopyridine or N-(4-pyridyl)-
7 ~ 20 pyridinium chloride hydrochloride with an appropriately i3 substituted amine. The reaction is usually carried out by 'l ~l~ heating the reactants in the absence of a solvent at 150C.-225C. for about l.S to 3 hours. The product is isolated in a conventional manner, for example by extraction from alkaline !~ 25 aqueous medium into an organic solvent such as ether, methylene chloride or chloroform, evaporation of the organic solvent and crystallization of the residue from an appropriate solvent.

Alternatively, the 4-(R-amlno)pyridines are obtained by catalytlc hydrogenation Or a mixture contain-ing 4- a m I` nopyridine and a carbonyl compound contalnlng the appropriate carbon content.

The use Or a large excess o~ the carbonyl compound, i.e. 200% or greater advantageously results in high yields o~ pure product in a reaction time o~ 5 hours or less.

the percent concentration tested. Active compounds are tes~ed at successively lower doses in order to determine the minimum effective concentration. On some occasions, the .
interference of plaque production is caused by the inhibition of growth of the organism in the culture medium because the compound has been leached from the hydroxylapatite to produce an antibacterial level in the medium. When this occurs, the compound is tested at lower concentrations until the growth of the organism in the surrounding medium is equal to that in the nonmedicated control culture. Plaque may or may not be formed at these lower concentrations.
Substantivity of the test compound to the tooth surface which is o~ course necessary to prevent the formation '~ of dental plaque thereon, may, however, potentiate the accumulation of staining agents, e.g., coffee, tobacco, food colorants, etc., on the tooth surface. Therefore the above :

procedure was also utilized to estimate staining potential, i.e., the ability of the test compound to promote adherence , :
of staining agents to the tooth surface. Thus, a residual, uniform pale pink color adhering to the test surface following ~, the final rinse is indicative of staining potential at the .1 precent concentration tested and is reported as staining concentration-~ The uniform pale pink color caused by the test compound is readily distinguished from the localized, ~5 b~illiant pink color caused by plaque formation. In general the preferred species advantageously have a staining concentration considerably higher than the minimum effective plaque-preventive '~

concentration.

7;~3~1 Numerical, antibacterial, antifungal, and dental plaque-preventive test data for the compounds are presented in Table A hereinbelow. Corresponding data for two known compounds, viz. 1,8-bis-(4-amino-1-pyridinium)octane dibromide (Reference Compound I) and l,lO-bis-(4-amino-1-pyridinium)-decane dibromide (Reference Compound II) are also included in Table A for purposes of comparison. Staining concentrations for representative examples are reported in Table C hereinbelow.
Antibacterial effectiveness in the presence of serum was determined for representative examples by the standard serial tube dilution test wherein paired comparisons of minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were determined in the absence and in the presence of heat inactivated :~........................................................................ ... .
`(30 min. at 56C.~ horse serum (40%) in the test medium.
.
The results are expressed as the fold increase in MIC (mcg./ml.) versus Staphyloccocus aureus and Escherichia coli caused by the presence of serum and are presented -n Table B hereinbelow.
Dental plaque-preventive effectiveness in the presence of sterile human saliva (50%) was determined for xepresentative examples. Test results are read as minimum effective concentration and are presented in Table C hereinbelow.
The acute oral toxicity (ALD~o) of several representativ, examples was determined as follows: Groups of 3 young adult male Swiss-Webster strain albino mice were fasted approximately ~25 4 hours before medication and then medicated once orally by ;stomach tube. All mice were observed for 7 days after .

medication. Autopsy of all mice in the study revealed no gross tissue changes except for the group receiving 1000 mg./kg. of the compound of Example 25 wherein con-gestion of the glandular portion of the stomachs of two of the three mice was observed. The results are presented in Table D herein~elow.
