Euchresta horsfieldii merupakan tanaman obat yang dikenal di Nusa Tenggara Barat dan Bali sebagai pranajiwa. Pada penelitian ini telah dilakukan analisis fitokimia dan aktivitas antibakteri dari akar, batang, daun, dan biji pranajiwa. Pengujian aktivitas antibakteri dilakukan terhadap bakteri Bacilus subtilis Inacc-B334, Staphylococccus aureus Inacc-B4, dan Escherchia coli Inacc-B5. Hasil analisis fitokimia menunjukkan bahwa alkaloid sebagai komponen senyawa yang paling dominan pada pranajiwa dan terdeteksi di setiap bagian tanaman. Bagian akar pranajiwa terdeteksi memiliki komponen senyawa yang paling bervariasi seperti alkaloid, tanin, flavonoid, saponin, dan terpenoid. Analisis GC-MS dari batang, akar, dan biji pranajiwa menunjukkan mome inositol, sophoridane, dan asam lemak seperti asam palmitat dan asam stearat sebagai komponen utamanya. Adapun uji aktivitas antibakteri pranajiwa menunjukkan bagian batang dan akar memiliki aktivitas antibakteri terhadap S. aureus Inacc-B4 dan E. coli Inacc B-5, sedangkan bagian biji memiliki aktivitas antibakteri terhadap B. subtilis Inacc-B-334 dan S. aureus Inacc-B4. Hasil-hasil penelitian tersebut dapat mendukung penelitian terkait potensi E. horsfieldii sebagai sumber alternatif obat antibakteri. Phytochemical Test and Antibacterial Activity of Pranawija (Euchresta horsfieldii (Lesch.) Benn.)AbstractEuchresta horsfieldii is a medicinal plant known in West Nusa Tenggara and Bali as pranajiwa. This study investigated phytochemical analysis and antibacterial activity of roots, stems, leaves, and seeds of E. horsfieldii. The samples were analyzed for their antibacterial activity against Bacilus subtilis Inacc-B334, Staphylococccus aureus Inacc-B4, and Escherchia coli Inacc-B5. The phytochemistry result indicated that alkaloids was the most dominant constituent of E. horsfieldii as it was detected in all parts of the plant. GC-MS analysis of the stems, roots, and seeds showed mome inositol, sophoridane, and fatty acids such as palmitic acid and strearic acid as the main components. The roots had the most varied constituents with detection of alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, saponins, and terpenoids. Further, antibacterial activity assay showed that the stems and roots had antibacterial activity against S. aureus Inacc-B4 and E. coli Inacc B-5, whereas the seeds had antibacterial activity against B. subtilis Inacc-B-334 and S. aureus InaccB4. The result of the present study supports the investigation on potentiality of E. horsfieldii as alternative source for antibacterial agents.

Background: The key issue in the development of novel antimicrobials is a rapid expansion of new bacterial strains resistant to current antibiotics. Indeed, World Health Organization has reported that bacteria commonly causing infections in hospitals and in the community, e.g. E. Coli, K. pneumoniae and S. aureus, have high resistance vs the last generations of cephalosporins, carbapenems and fluoroquinolones. During the past decades, only few successful efforts to develop and launch new antibacterial medications have been performed. This study aims to identify new class of antibacterial agents using novel high-throughput screening technique. Methods: We have designed library containing 125K compounds not similar in structure (Tanimoto coeff.< 0.7) to that published previously as antibiotics. The HTS platform based on double reporter system pDualrep2 was used to distinguish between molecules able to block translational machinery or induce SOS-response in a model E. coli system. MICs for most active chemicals in LB and M9 medium were determined using broth microdilution assay. Results: In an attempt to discover novel classes of antibacterials, we performed HTS of a large-scale small molecule library using our unique screening platform. This approach permitted us to quickly and robustly evaluate a lot of compounds as well as to determine the mechanism of action in the case of compounds being either translational machinery inhibitors or DNA-damaging agents/replication blockers. HTS has resulted in several new structural classes of molecules exhibiting an attractive antibacterial activity. Herein, we report as promising antibacterials. Two most active compounds from this series showed MIC value of 1.2 (5) and 1.8 μg/mL (6) and good selectivity index. Compound 6 caused RFP induction and low SOS response. In vitro luciferase assay has revealed that it is able to slightly inhibit protein biosynthesis. Compound 5 was tested on several archival strains and exhibited slight activity against gram-negative bacteria and outstanding activity against S. aureus. The key structural requirements for antibacterial potency were also explored. We found, that the unsubstituted carboxylic group is crucial for antibacterial activity as well as the presence of bulky hydrophobic substituents at phenyl fragment. Conclusion: The obtained results provide a solid background for further characterization of the 5'- (carbonylamino)-2,3'-bithiophene-4'-carboxylate derivatives discussed herein as new class of antibacterials and their optimization campaign.

<p>The aqueous and ethanol extracts of the bark of<em> Khaya senegalensis</em> were screened for their phytochemical constituents and preliminary antibacterial activity against <em>Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli</em> and<em> Proteus mirabilis. </em>The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the plant on the tested organisms was determined using multiple tubes method.</p><p>Alkaloids, anthraquinones, glycosides, tannins and steroids were detected in both extracts.</p><p>The ethanol and aqueous extracts of the plant showed antibacterial activity against <em>B. subtilis and E. coli,</em> with the aqueous extracts having more activity than those of ethanol. However the growth of<em> P. mirabilis</em> was not inhibited by either of the extracts. The MIC value was determined to be 50 mg/ml for<em> B. subtilis </em>and<em> E. coli. </em>The results are suggestive of considerable antibacterial activity of<em> K. senegalensis </em>and may justify its use in the treatment of bacterial diseases by herbalists or traditional healers.</p>

The antibacterial activity of Tokar sha; a local traditional medication widely used by many people in North-west zone of Nigeria especially Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara against enteric infections were examined against some clinical isolates of pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus and Salmonella typhi) using agar well diffusion method. The pattern of inhibition varied with the tokar sha concentrations and the organisms tested. The tokar sha was more effective on E. coli with a maximum zone of growth inhibition of 25mm at 35mg/ml followed by B. cereus (20mm). However, S. aureus and S. typhi were resistant to tokar sha at all concentrations tested. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were found to be 35mg/ml for both E. coli and B. cereus. The antibacterial activities exhibited by tokar sha in this study could be attributed to the presence of its constituents which signifies the potential of the tokar sha as a therapeutic agent. These findings may justify the ethnomedicinal use of tokar sha as an antibacterial agent against enterobacteria

1,4-Naphthoquinones have antibacterial activity and are a promising new class of compound that can be used to treat bacterial infections. The goal was to improve effective antibacterial agents; therefore, we synthesized a new class of naphthoquinone hybrids, which contain phenylamino-phenylthio moieties as significant counterparts. Compound 4 was modified as a substituted aryl amide moiety, which enhanced the antibacterial activity of earlier compounds 3 and 4. In this study, five bacterial strains Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes), Escherichia coli (E. coli), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) were used to evaluate the antibacterial potency of synthesized naphthoquinones using the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) method. Most of the studied naphthoquinones demonstrated major antibacterial activity with a MIC of 15.6 µg/mL–500 µg/mL. Selected compounds (5a, 5f and 5x) were studied for the mode of action, using intracellular ROS generation, determination of apoptosis by the Annexin V-FITC/PI assay, a bactericidal kinetic study and in silico molecular modelling. Additionally, the redox potentials of the specified compounds were confirmed by cyclic voltammetry (CV).

A range of fluorinated 2-styrylchromones (5a–g) of which six were new (5a–f) were prepared in three steps using the Baker-Venkataraman rearrangement along with two methoxylated derivatives (5h-i) and a methylenedioxy derivative (5j) and screened for their antibacterial activity using Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, sciuri, andxylosusas well asBacillus subtilis) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, andKlebsiella pneumonia). The compounds were most effective againstB. subtilisfollowed byS. aureusand a single strain ofE. coli(ATCC 25922). Difluorination on the phenyl ring was shown to enhance antibacterial activity, and fluorine substitution at the 6 position was shown to be far superior to substitution at the 7 position. In comparison to tetracycline, the activity indices of the fluorinated styrylchromones ranged from 0.50 to 0.75 againstB. subtilis. The crystal structure of 2′-fluoro-2-styrylchromone is also presented, and the molecule was shown to be planar.

Abstract Background: Currently, several studies are being conducted to test antibacterial activity of various medicinal plants, in attempt to develop new antibiotics or to potentiate the action of antibiotics of known clinical use. In this research, phytochemical analysis and in vitro antibacterial activity of leaf extracts of Lantana camara L were performed.The extracts were obtained through maceration with 90% ethanol. In phytochemical analysis, alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins and saponins were identified using specific reagents for each class.The antibacterial activity was analyzed using the disk diffusion method according to Kirby-Bauer, against Escherichia coli and Staphylococus aureus. Results: The diameters of the inhibition halos varied between 0.7 and 12 mm, with an average of 8.26 mm for strains of S. aureus and there was no inhibition for E. coli. The results showed a significant difference between the inhibition halos and the tested concentrations for S. aureus. Conclusions: L. camara leaf extracts are rich in bioactive compounds and have a good antibacterial potential against S. aureus and not for E. coli. And there was no relationship between the concentration of the extract and the diameter of the halo of inhibition of the evaluated microorganism.

Binuclear rhodium(II) complexes [Rh2Cl2(μ-OOCR)2(N-N)2], [Rh2(μ-OOCR)2(N-N)2(H2O)2](RCOO)2 and [Rh2Cl2(μ-OOCCH3)(terpy)2](H3O)Cl2.9H2O (R = H, Me, Bun,ph, PhCHOH; N-N = 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmp) and 6,7-dimethyl-2,3- di(2-pyridyl)quinoxaline (dmpq); terpy 2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine) have been synthesized and their structure and properties have been studied by electronic, IR and H1 NMR spectroscopy. Antibacterial activity of these complexes against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli has been investigated. The most active antibacterial agents against S. aureus were [Rh2(OOCPh)2(phen)2(H2O)2]2+, [Rh2(OOCPh)2(dmpq)2(H2O)2]2+, [Rh2(OOCBu)2(phen)2(H2O)2]2+ and [Rh2-(OOCBu)2(bpy)2(H2O)2]2+ which were considerably more active than the appropriate nitrogen ligands. The complexes show rather low activity against E. coli.

Binuclear rhodium(II) complexes [Rh2Cl2(μ-OOCR)2(N-N)2] {R = H, Me; N-N = 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen)} and [Rh2(μ-OOCR)2(N-N)2(H2O)2](RCOO)2 (R = Me, Et;) have been synthesized and their structure and properties have been studied by electronic, IR and H1 NMR spectroscopy. Antibacterial activity of these complexes against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus has been investigated. The most active antibacterial agents against E. coli were [Rh2Cl2(μ-OOCR)2(N-N)2] and [Rh2(μ-OOCR)2(N-N)2(H2O)2](RCOO)2 {R = H and Me} which were considerably more active than the appropriate nitrogen ligands. The complexes show low activity against S. aureus. The activity of the complexes [Rh2(OOCR)2(N-N)2(H2O)2](OOCR)2 against E. coli decreases in the series: R=H≅CH3>C2H5>C3H7≅C4H9. The reverse order was found in the case of S. aureus.

AbstractAntibacterial agents are an important tool in the prevention of bacterial infections. Inorganic materials are attractive due to their high stability under a variety of conditions compared to organic antibacterial agents. Herein tungsten oxide nanodots (WO3-X), synthesized by a simple one-pot synthetic approach, was found to exhibit efficient antibacterial capabilities. The analyses with colony-forming units (CFU) showed excellent antibacterial activity of WO3-X against both gram-negative E. coli (Escherichia coli) and gram-positive S. aureus (Staphylococcus aureus) strains. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images revealed clear damage to the bacterial cell membranes, which was further confirmed by molecular dynamics simulations. Additionally, exposure to simulated sunlight was found to further increase germicidal activity of WO3-X nanodots – a 30-minute exposure to sunlight (combining 50 μg/mL WO3-X nanodots) showed a 70% decrease in E. coli viability compared to without exposure. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR) was used to elucidate the underlying mechanism of this photocatalytic activity through the generation of hydroxyl radical species. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and the live/dead assay were further employed to evaluate the cytotoxicity of WO3-X nanodots on eukaryotic cells, which demonstrated their general biocompatibility. In all, our results suggest WO3-X nanodots have considerable potential in antibacterial applications, while also being biocompatible at large.
