Antibiotics are one of the most important drugs in the history of drugs to treat infectious diseases. However, because of the widespread use and even abuse of antibiotics, new drug-resistant bacteria continue to appear in the clinic, resulting in the continuous loss of the effectiveness of existing antibiotics. Bacterial resistance is a common health concern of all countries in the world, but the development rate of drug-resistant bacteria is far faster than the research speed of antibacterial drugs. Therefore, the development of antibacterial drugs with high activity, low toxicity, and low drug resistance has become a research antibacterial drug. The top priority. Antimicrobial peptides (Antimicrobial Peptides, AMPs) are naturally present in multicellular organisms. They are mainly used to block microbial infections and are called the first level of immune function. It is a peptide substance usually with hydrophilic positive charge and lipophilic side chain. However, antimicrobial peptides have potential shortcomings in vivo toxicity, poor pharmacokinetic properties, etc. These shortcomings restrict the further development of antimicrobial peptides. The study found that some small-molecule antimicrobial peptide mimics can overcome the shortcomings of antimicrobial peptides while maintaining their own activity, exhibit good antimicrobial activity, low cytotoxicity and low drug resistance, which has become a new hotspot in the development of antimicrobial drugs. <br>The antibacterial activity of honokiol is very significant, and it has obvious inhibitory effects on Gram-positive bacteria (G +), negative bacteria (G-) and fungi. It also has anti-tumor effects, anti-aging effects, and cholesterol lowering functions. The study found that Honokiol is a structure with two hydrophobic allyl fatty side chains. They are important groups to exert antibacterial activity. Therefore, based on the molecular structural characteristics of antimicrobial peptides, we use Honokiol as the structure Skeleton, the introduction of cationic groups of different lengths such as amino groups on its hydroxyl group, to construct the amphiphilic characteristics of the hydrophilic side chain and lipophilic skeleton of the compound, to form a spatial structure similar to antibacterial peptides and to study its antibacterial activity. The experimental results showed that the target compounds 3 and 5 showed better antibacterial activity than the control compound ciprofloxacin against a variety of Gram-positive and negative bacteria.
