Background: Antimicrobial resistance is a persistent problem about infections treatment and carries needing for develop new antimicrobial agents. Inhibiting of bacterial β-ketoacyl acyl carrier protein synthase III (FabH), which catalyzes the condensation reaction between a CoA-attached acetyl group and an ACP-attached malonyl group in bacteria is an interesting strategy to find new antibacterial agents. Objective: The aim of this work was to design and synthesize arylsulfonylhydrazones potentially FabH inhibitors and evaluate their antimicrobial activity. Methods: MIC50 of sulfonylhydrazones against E. coli and S. aureus was determined. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH (1-1’-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) assay and cytotoxicity against LL24 lung fibroblast cells was verified by MTT method. Principal component analysis (PCA) was performed in order to suggest a structure-activity relationship. Molecular docking allowed to propose sulfonylhydrazones interactions with FabH. Results: The most active compound showed activity against S. aureus and E. coli, with MIC50 = 0.21 and 0.44 µM, respectively. PCA studies correlated better activity to lipophilicity and molecular docking indicated that sulfonylhydrazone moiety is important to hydrogen-bond with FabH while methylcatechol ring performs π-π stacking interaction. The DPPH assay revealed that some sulfonylhydrazones derived from the methylcatechol series had antioxidant activity. None of the evaluated compounds was cytotoxic to human lung fibroblast cells, suggesting that the compounds might be considered safe at the tested concentration. Conclusion: Arylsufonylhydrazones is a promising scaffold to be explored for design of new antimicrobial agents.

AbstractPolycrystalline tungsten-doped titanium dioxide nanopowders within a dopant concentration of 0-1 at.% were prepared by a one-step flame spray synthesis (FSS). Mixtures of titanium tetra-isopropoxide dissolved in ethanol and tungsten hexacarbonyl solubilized in tetrahydrofuran were used as precursors. The specific surface area (SSA) of the powders was between 40 and 130 m
