Proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans were isolated from African night crawler (Eudrilus eugeniae Kinberg) and partially characterized proteoglycans (3.04 % of lyophilized worm) were liberated from the defatted and depurinated worm samples by dissociative method using 4M urea in acetate buffer. Glycosaminoglycans (12.47% of proteoglycan extract) were extracted using enzymatic hydrolysis of the proteoglycan extract with papain. Gel filtration chromatography using Sepharose CL-4B was used to purify and estimate the molecular weights of the proteoglycan and glycosaminoglycan fractions. Three proteoglycan fractions PGF1, PGF2 and PGF3 with estimated molecular weigths 860 kDa, 181 kDa and 3 kDa, respectively were identified as monitored by the Bradford and modified carbazole assay. Two glycosaminoglycan fractions - GF1 (MW = 860 kDa) and GF2 (MW=140 kDa) were identified using the modified carbazole assay. Infrared spectroscopy of the GF1 and GF2 showed the possible identities of the fractions. GF1 may be a hyaluronic acid and GF2 is possibly chondroitin. Anti-coagulant assay for the extracts and fractions revealed that the glycosaminoglycan isolate has anti-coagulant activity but not the GF1 and GF2 fractions individually.

A nucleoside antibiotic, ascamycin (9-beta-[5′-0-(N-L-alanyl) sulphamoyl-D-ribofuranosyl]-2-chloroadenine), has a selective antibacterial activity against Xanthomonas species. When ascamycin was dealanylated, dealanylascamycin showed a broad antibacterial activity against various Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Xanthomonas citri is susceptible to ascamycin by virtue of the ascamycin-dealanylating enzyme on the cell surface [Osada & Isono (1985) Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 27, 230-233]. The enzyme (Xc aminopeptidase) was purified from X. citri cells by successive DEAE-cellulose, chromatofocusing and Sephadex G-100 column chromatography to a homogeneous state. The purified enzyme exhibited a single band with an Mr of 38 000 in SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. Gel filtration on a calibrated column indicated a similar Mr value. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was 5.7. The enzyme catalysed the hydrolysis of the alanyl group of ascamycin and liberated alanine from the sulphamoyl nucleoside. The enzyme also catalysed the hydrolysis of L-proline beta-naphthylamide and L-alanine beta-naphthylamide. The optimal pH and temperature for enzyme activity were pH 7.5-8.0 and 35-40 degrees C respectively. The enzyme was inhibited by thiol-enzyme inhibitors (i.e. rho-chloromercuribenzoate and N-ethylmaleimide), but was not affected by various naturally occurring aminopeptidase inhibitors (i.e. amastatin, bestatin, pepstatin and leupeptin). Mn2+ and Mg2+ activated the enzyme, whereas Cu2+, Zn2+ and Cd2+ were inhibitory.

The hydrolytic products (S-MorH+2)2 [Ni(dtp)2]2− and (O-MorH+2)2[Ni(dtp)2]2− were characterized by means of FT-IR, 1H, and 31P NMR and XRD and the experimented P–N cleavage investigated and elucidated by means of DFT calculations. The antimicrobial activity of the neutral nickel complex [Ni(S-Mor-adtp)2] was tested against a set of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria alongside with its nanodispersion in a silica matrix. The complex [Ni(S-Mor-adtp)2] did not show antibacterial activity, whilst the nano-dispersed sample [Ni(S-Mor-adtp)2]_SiO2 demonstrated inhibition to growth of Staphylococcus aureus. The nanocomposites were fully characterized by means of XRPD, TGA, SEM and dinitrogen sorption techniques.

Abstract AHyaluronic acid (HA) is part of the extracellular matrix of connective, epithelial and neural tissues, as well as the synovial fluid, skin, and cartilage. It is composed of repeating disaccharide units of D-glucuronic acid and N-acetyl glucosamine. Hyaluronic acid is used in abdominal surgery, ophthalmology, dermatology, rhinology; it is usable for the osteoarthritis treatment. The membranes of eggshell are a natural source of hyaluronic acid, collagen, glycosaminoglycan and collagenous proteins. In paper, we tested the possibility of extraction hyaluronic acid from the eggshell membranes by enzymatic hydrolysis. We identified optimal conditions of hydrolysis with trypsin at reaction temperature of 37 °C and pH 8; with pepsin at 40 °C and pH 3, as well as with papain at 60 °C and pH 7.5. The content of hyaluronic acid in samples was determined spectrophotometrically using the carbazole method. The experimental results showed a yield of ~ 4 -4.5 % hyaluronic acid per 1 g of dry eggshell membranes.

This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial properties of ethyl-<em>p</em>-methoxycinnamate and <em>p</em>-methoxycinnamate acid from Kaempheria galanga L. Ethyl-<em>p</em>-methoxycinnamate was isolated from the <em>n</em>-hexane rhizome extract of <em>Kaempheria galanga L</em>. Separation and purification of this compound was carried out with vacuum liquid chromatography and column chromatography. Hydrolysis of ethyl-<em>p</em>-methoxycinnamic under alkaline conditions obtained <em>p</em>-methoxycinnamic acid with a good yield of 85 %. The structure of the compounds were charactrized with IR, NMR spectrophotometer (<sup>1</sup>H-NMR and <sup>13</sup>C-NMR) and mass spectrophotometer. The antibacterial properties of the compounds were evaluated using microdilution methods against <em>B. cereus</em> ATCC 11778, <em>L. monocytogenes</em> ATCC 7644, <em>E. coli</em> ATCC 25922, <em>S. enterica sv Typhimurium</em> ATCC 14028, and <em>E. aerogenes</em> ATCC 13048. The compounds showed weak antibacterial properties. Only ethyl <em>p</em>-methoxycinnamate showed the strongest antibacterial activity, especially against <em>B. cereus</em> ATCC 11778 bacteria with MIC values of 62.5 mg /mL. The change of the functional groups provided no significant impact on the antibacterial activity.

Generally, Gluta renghas L. is known because of its very toxic latex which can cause hard irritations to skin. Although, rengas latex has efficacy as an antibacterial agent. Related to previous research, it has been reported that there are urisol, rengol, glutarengol, laccol, and thitsiol in rengas latex. The woody trunk was reported to contain flavonoid, benzenoid, lipid, and steroid compounds. The leaves, were reported shows that the leaves of G. renghas contain an anticholinesterase substance and can be reduced the rate of hydrolysis of acetylcholine. Extraction of rengas leaves has been carried out. It has been shown phenols, steroids, and coumarins compounds in methanol extract, flavonoids, phenols, saponins and alkaloids compounds in ethyl acetate extract, steroids and alkaloids compounds in hexane extract. In the present, cytotoxicity and antibacterial activity have been tested. The results show that the great cytotoxicity activity by ethyl acetate extracts which have an LC50 value is 123,718 µg/mL (R2 0.9822), while the great antibacterial activity shown by methanol extract 1,000 µg/mL with a diameter of inhibition zone 19.02 mm (S. aureus) and 16.06 mm (E. coli).

ABSTRACTTo better understand the antibacterial activity of S-649266 against carbapenemase producers, its stability against clinically relevant carbapenemases was investigated. The catalytic efficiencies (kcat/Km) of IMP-1, VIM-2, and L1 for S-649266 were 0.0048, 0.0050, and 0.024 μM−1s−1, respectively, which were more than 260-fold lower than that for meropenem. Only slight hydrolysis of S-649266 against KPC-3 was observed. NDM-1 hydrolyzed meropenem 3-fold faster than S-649266 at 200 μM.
