Gram-negative bacteria are ubiquitous in nature. These bacteria are responsible for causing many noxious diseases such as: neurological abnormalities, gastroenteritis, and life-threatening Typhoid fever in human being and many other animals. Therefore, Salmonella has been a cause to longstanding worldwide health problem and became a reason for significant mortality globally. The toxicity nature of these bacteria is because of their high tendency to survive in the host body rather quickly due to the presence of protective cell wall which defends from invasion of exogenous toxic agent. Therefore, developing new organic small molecule with ideally disposed functional unit which can easily prevent the growth of bacteria is always demanding. We report herein, a synthetically simple and elegant, small organic molecule, PA-P-ester which having highly tunable prerequisite properties with respect to protective cell wall of the bacteria. The molecule, PA-P-ester shows high antibacterial activity against pathogenic gram-negative bacteria such as: Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli.
