Antimicrobial and Virucidal Potential of Morpholinium-Based Ionic Liquids.

ABSTRACT: Witnessed by the ongoing spread of antimicrobial resistant bacteria as well as the recent global pandemic of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the development of new disinfection strategies is of great importance, and novel substance classes as effective antimicrobials and virucides are urgently needed. Ionic liquids (ILs), low-melting salts, have been already recognized as efficient antimicrobial agents with prospects for antiviral potential. In this study, we examined the antiviral activity of 12 morpholinium based herbicidal ionic liquids with a tripartite test system, including enzyme inhibition tests, virucidal activity determination against five model viruses and activity against five bacterial species. The antimicrobial and enzymatic tests confirmed that the inhibiting activity of ILs correspon
