In general, the antibacterial activity increases as the size of the nuclear substituent is increased untilthe group consists of atleast nine carbon On the other hand, substituents, comprising approximately five carbon atoms appear to exert an optimum therapeutic effect in the treatment of disorders ofthe central nervous :-system; The new compounds are prepared by causing a substituted pyridine to react with an organic halide to form a pyridinium salt. Becaus of the slow rate at which most organic chloridesreact with the pyridine compounds, we prefer to employ bromides or iodides in an inert solvent such ;as acetone to obtain the most favorable-yields,
but a solvent is not necessary. We prefer to use an excess of the halide and heat under reflux on the steam bath until the reaction has gone to completion. When the halide employed is particularly reactive, e. g. benzohydryl bromide, superior yields are obtained under anhydrous conditions. The compounds of the invention are white crystalline compounds, bitter to the taste. They are slightly soluble in water and quite soluble in ethyl alcohol.
