Three bi-quaternary ammonium methacrylates (biQAMA-12, biQAMA-14, and biQAMA-16) with different alkyl chain length were synthesized with the purpose of endowing dental resin composites (DRCs) with antibacterial activity without sacrificing physicochemical properties of DRCs. All of biQAMAs were confirmed by H-NMR spectra and incorporated into Bis-GMA/TEGDMA (60 wt/40 wt) resin matrix with a mass fraction of 5 wt% as antibacterial agent. The obtained resin matrixes were mixed with commercial silaned glass fillers at a mass ratio of 30 wt/70 wt to prepare antibacterial DRCs. The double bond conversion (DC), antibacterial activity against S. mutans., surface charge density, water contact angle, water sorption (WS) and solubility (SL), mechanical properties, and cytotoxicity of biQAMAs containing DRCs were investigated. The DRC without biQAMAs was used as control. The results showed that all biQAMAs containing DRCs had antibacterial rate higher than 90%, and DRC with biQAMA-12 had the highest antibacterial rate due to its highest surface charge density. Adding 5 wt% of biQAMAs would not bring out negative effect on physicochemical properties of DRCs, except for increasing WS, but the resultant WS still met the ISO requirement on WS of restorative materials. Both biQAMA-14 and biQAMA-16 containing DRCs showed higher cytotoxicity than control, thus biQAMA-12 was considered as the optimal antibacterial agent in this research.
三种具有不同烷基链长度的双季铵盐甲基丙烯酸酯(biQAMA-12、biQAMA-14 和 biQAMA-16)被合成出来,目的是赋予牙科树脂复合材料(DRCs)抗菌活性,而不会牺牲 DRCs 的物理化学性质。所有的 biQAMAs 都通过 H-NMR 光谱得到证实,并以 5wt%的质量分数作为抗菌剂掺入 Bis-GMA/TEGDMA(60wt/40wt)树脂基质中。所得树脂基质与商业硅烷化玻璃填料按质量比 30wt/70wt 混合,制备抗菌 DRCs。研究了含有 biQAMAs 的 DRCs 的双键转化率(DC)、抗变形链球菌活性、表面电荷密度、水接触角、吸水率(WS)和溶解度(SL)、力学性能和细胞毒性。不含 biQAMAs 的 DRC 用作对照。结果表明,所有含有 biQAMAs 的 DRCs 的抗菌率均高于 90%,而含有 biQAMA-12 的 DRC 的抗菌率最高,因为其具有最高的表面电荷密度。添加 5wt%的 biQAMAs 不会对 DRCs 的物理化学性质产生负面影响,除了增加 WS 外,但所得的 WS 仍符合 ISO 对修复材料 WS 的要求。含有 biQAMA-14 和 biQAMA-16 的 DRCs 的细胞毒性均高于对照,因此 biQAMA-12 被认为是本研究中最佳的抗菌剂。
