Background: Amongst the quinolone core structures, 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ or quinolinol) stands out as the greatest frequently used therapeutic moietiy. This includes the most critical molecules in medicinal chemistry. Quinolinol remains a broad-spectrum ligand capable of chelating to a large number of metal ions. Methods: The synthesized quinolinols Mannich bases were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (ATTCC 6538), Escherichia coli (ATTCC 7839), Klebsiella pneumonia (ATCC10131). The antifungal activity of the prepared compounds was assessed against Candida albicans (10231), Aspergillus niger and Penicillium sp. The antioxidant activity of the established compounds was assessed by means of α, α-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging method. Results: The antimicrobial outcomes indicated that all the synthesized compounds excluding 5 and 9b displayed reasonable antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (ATTCC 6538) and Escherichia coli (ATTCC 7839) with an inhibition zones ranging from 13 to 23 mm. However, in the case of Klebsiella pneumonia (ATCC10131) only compound 6 did not show any activity. The results also indicated that compounds 2b and 3 were the most potent antibacterial compounds against the verified strains with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranging from 0.05 to 0.5mg/ml. In the antifungal assay, all compounds showed good activity against Candida albicans (10231) except compounds 5 and 9b. However, in the case of Aspergillus niger and Penicillium sp. only compounds 2b and 3 showed good activity. In the antifungal assay, MIC values for compounds 2b and 3 ranged from 0.25 to 2.5 mg/ml against the specified fungal strains. The antioxidant activity was assessed using the DPPH scavenging activity method. The results indicated that 2b was the most active among all tested compounds, with almost double the antioxidant activity as compared with that of trolox (positive control). Conclusion: In this work, we describe the synthesis of new Mannich bases comprising 8-HQ (1) and its derivative (8). The resulted Mannich bases of type 2 were used in transamination reactions with hydrazine and hydrazine derivatives. The structures of the newly synthesized Mannich bases were confirmed based on the NMR spectroscopic data and elemental analysis. Antimicrobial and antioxidant activities were also assessed.

Background: Antibiotics play an important role in the treatment of infections to the humans and at the same time, irrational, frequent prescription of higher antibiotics, change in gene composition of microorganisms are all the reasons behind the development and introduction of new antibiotics against different microorganisms. Objective: In this project, an attempt has been made to synthesize some derivatives of diazenyl containing phenyl styryl ketones and also their in vitro screening was conducted against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans. Methods: Ten molecules were synthesized which are diazenyl containing chalcones. 4- aminoacetophenone was diazotised and piperidine was coupled with the formed diazonium chloride. Further, the acetoxy group underwent Claisen-Schmidt condensation with differently substituted aldehydes to form the final compounds- the chalcones. The proposed chemical structures were confirmed by different spectroscopic techniques like FTIR, 1H NMR and Mass spectroscopy. TLC was used to know that the reactants were exhausted and the formation of the product occurred. Sharp melting point of the compounds concludes the purity. Results: The MIC of the compounds 3CP, 3DP, 3EP and 3GP is 20 times the MIC of the standard fluconazole drug against Aspergillus niger. The compound 3GP is as equipotent as the standard drug Pyrazinamide with MIC of 3.12 µg/ml against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Conclusion: The results are quite promising which on further studies may lead to drug molecules against different microorganisms. Especially, 3EP can be considered as a broad spectrum agent due to its potent activity against different microorganisms like Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia and Candida albicans.

Quinazoline Derivatives

The emergence of multidrug microbial resistance is the main challenges that the modern scientists have so far been facing in the recent era. In this respect, new series of drug classes having potential to give antimicrobial effect have been synthesized. A new series of 5- substituted-1,10 b-dihydroimidazole[1,2-c]quinazoline derivatives 8a-e have been synthesized and screened for antibacterial activity and antifungal activity. Synthesized derivatives were characterized by IR, MASS and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Synthesized compounds show good activity, which was comparable to the standard drug and it can be useful for the further clinical study. Antibacterial activity was evaluated against four different pathogenic bacterial strains like Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli and Pseudo-monas aeruginosa. Among the screened compounds, 8e show good antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli with MIC of 50 and 100 μg/ml respectively. Antifungal activity was evaluated  against two strains of fungi. Among the synthesized derivates, compound 8c was emerged out as the potent antifungal compound against Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger with MIC of 25 μg/ml and 75μg/ml respectively. Compound 8e also shows good antifungal activity with MIC of 50 μg/ml against both Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger. The overall results of this study indicated that  synthesized quinazoline derivatives had the potential to act as an antibacterial and antifungal agent, hence further investigation is warranted.

Nosocomial infection is a rising problem in developing countries. Microorganisms Isolated from three private and public hospital environmental surfaces in Akure Metropolis, Ondo State, Nigeria were investigated in this study. Bacterial and fungal organisms were isolated and compared among the three hospitals. The study revealed that bacteria were the most predominant microorganisms found in the hospital environmental surfaces than fungi. Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Bacillus cereus were the bacterial isolates while fungi include Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans.  Staphylococcus aureus was found to be predominant bacteria but Aspergillus funmigatus was the predominant fungi. The result showed that the microbial loads of the public hospitals were higher than that of the private hospitals. The bacteria load of the male ward was found to be higher than that of the female ward while the fungal loads of each of the hospital environmental surfaces of female were higher than that of the male. The study revealed that bacteria were the most predominant microorganisms found in the hospital environment than fungi. Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Bacillus cereus were the bacterial isolates while fungi include Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans.  Staphylococcus aureus was found to be predominant bacteria. All the hospital environmental surfaces were contaminated with one or more microorganisms in the course of the research.

Zeolite powders were first treated with hydrochloric acid, then reacted with sodium chloride, and sodium zeolite (Na-Zeolite) powders were obtained. Further Antibacterial zeolite powders were prepared by loading metal ions such as, Ag+ and Zn2+, Ag+ and Cu2+, Zn2+and Cu2+, Ag+ and Cu2+and Zn2+, through ion exchange. The powders were characterized by minimum Inhibitory concentration (MIC), SEM/EDXA and XRD. Antibacterial paper with antibacterial zeolite powders as filler was fabricated. The results demonstrated that MIC of loading (Ag++Zn2+) zeolite was 125ppm against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli . MIC of loading (Ag++Cu2++Zn2+) zeolite was 62.5ppm against Candida albicans and Aspergillus Niger. By adding 6% of (Ag++Zn2+), (Ag++Cu2+), and (Ag++Cu2++Zn2+) antibacterial zeolite powders, respectively, antibacterial paper were prepared; and the antibacterial rate of these papers against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans and Aspergillus Niger for 4h is close to 100%.
