This article aimed to synthesis, spectroscopic, physicochemical characterizations, and catalytic studies on some ofloxacin (OFL) complexes with ruthenium(III) [Ru(III)] metal ions. The Ru(III)-OFL complex, [Ru(OFL)2(Cl)2]Cl and two mixed-ligand complexes, [Ru(OFL)(AA)(H2O)2]Cl2 derived from OFL as the primary ligand and amino acids [AA; either glycine (Gly) or alanine (Ala)] as the secondary ligands, were synthesized and characterized using microanalytical, spectroscopic, and physical techniques including element composition, molar conductivity, infrared, electronic spectra, thermal, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Transmittance electron microscopy (TEM) analyses. The element analysis data describe the formation of 1:2 [Ru(III):OFL] and 1:1:1 [Ru(III):OFL:AA] complexes. The octahedral geometry of the complexes was confirmed by their magnetic moment and diffused reflectance. Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopic (FTIR) measurements suggested that the ligands chelated with Ru(III) ions through the nitrogen atoms of the piperazine ring. In vitro antibacterial efficiency of the OFL compounds was evaluated by paper disc diffusion method. Significant antimicrobial activities were observed for some compounds of the series.

 2',4',5'- and 2',3',4'-trimethoxy flavanones have been synthesized starting with 2-hydroxyacetophone and substituted aldehyde. Antibacterial activities of the flavanones have been tested along with their corresponding chalcones against two human pathogenic bacteria (Streptococcus-b-haemolyticus and  Klebsiella sp. (G-)). Antifungal activities of the flavanones have also been investigated against  two plants pathogenic mold fungi (Rhizactonia solani Sclerotium rolfsii). The structures of the synthesized compounds have been characterized with the help of  UV, IR and 1H NMR and 13C-NMR spectra. The antibacterial and antifungal screening were performed in vitro by the filter paper disc diffusion method and poisoned food technique. The flavanones showed antibacterial activity while no activity was observed to their corresponding chalcones against the tested bacteria. On the other hand, chalcones and their corresponding flavanones both showed fungicidal activities.

This study compares the in vitro activities of enrofloxacin and its main metabolite ciprofloxacin against clinical Escherichia coli and non-lactose fermenting enterobacteria isolates from chickens. Ten (10) Escherichia coli and 8 non lactose fermenting enterobacteriaceae species isolated from a pool of clinical cases at the Microbiology Laboratory of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, University of Agriculture Makurdi were used in this study. Ten-fold serial dilution of 10 varying concentrations (0.1-50μg/mL) of enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin were tested against the isolates in vitro by Bauer’s disc-diffusion method to determine and compare their antimicrobial activities against the isolates. The 18 isolates tested were susceptible to both enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin, and their mean values in the susceptibility of Escherichia coli and non-lactose fermenters were significantly different (p < 0.01). The study concluded that the clinical isolates are susceptible to both enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin though ciprofloxacin exhibit higher activity. Comparatively, ciprofloxacin was found to be more potent than enrofloxacin and the difference statistically significant. Ciprofloxacin was recommended as a better choice in the treatment of bacterial infections of chicken in this area compared to enrofloxacin. It was also recommended that proper steps should be taken in the administration of antimicrobials so as to reduce the incidences of bacterial resistance.Keywords:  Escherichia coli, Non-lactose fermenter, Antimicrobials, Ciprofloxacin.

Antibacterial And Antifungal

Indole motifs are one of the most significant scaffolds in the discovery of new drugs. We have described a synthesis of new N-substituted indole derivatives (1-3), and their in vitro antimicrobial activities were investigated. The synthesis of titled compounds has been demonstrated by utilizing commercially available starting materials. The antibacterial and antifungal activities were performed using new strains of bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans using the disc diffusion method. Notably, the compound 4-(1-(2-(1H-indol-1-yl) ethoxy) pentyl)-N,N-dimethyl aniline (1) was found to be most potent than the other analogues (2 and 3), which has shown higher inhibition than the standard drug chloramphenicol.

Growth Of Bacteria

Alfa mangostin, gamma-mangostin and xanthone group compounds are secondary metabolites contained in mangosteen (G. mangostana L.) which can be isolated from the fruit, bark, leaves and rind of mangosteen. All three compounds were shown to inhibit stronger against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Alfa mangostin also active against Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus bacteria that are resistant to vancomisin and methicillin. Objective of this study to determine the antibacterial activity of methanol extract of mangosteen rind against Staphyllococcus aureus and Escherechia coli in vitro. Antibacterial activity test used is the diffusion wells and paper disc diffusion method. The test results obtained antibacterial activity of methanol extract of mangosteen rind can inhibit the growth of Staphyllococcus aureus at a concentration of 16%, but below its resistance zone diameter Cyprofloxacin. As against Escherichia coli, the methanol extract of mangosteen rind could not inhibit the growth of bacteria.

The Stability

This study presents the acid-base equilibrium of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The stability constant values of the binary and ternary complexes formed in solution among polyvinyl alcohol, Cu (II), some amino acids and DNA were determined potentiomertically. The stability constants of the complexes are determined and the concentration distribution diagrams of the complexes are evaluated. The ligand and their metal chelates have been screened for their antimicrobial activities using the disc diffusion method against the selected bacteria and fungi. Binary and ternary complexes of copper (II) involving polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and various biologically relevant ligands containing different functional groups, were investigated. The ligands (L) are amino acids and DNA constituents. The ternary complexes of amino acids and DNA are formed by simultaneous reactions respectively. The results showed the formation of Cu (PVA) (L) complexes with amino acids and DNA. Amino acids form both Cu (PVA)(L) complexes and the corresponding protonated  Cu(PVA)(LH) and deprotonated species Cu(PVA)(LH−1). The ternary complexes of copper (II) with (PVA) and DNA are formed in a stepwise process, whereby binding of copper (II) to (PVA) is followed by ligation of the DNA components. DNA constituents form 1:1 complexes with Cu (PVA). The stability of these ternary complexes was quantitatively compared with their corresponding binary complexes in terms of the parameter ∆ log10K. The values of ∆ log10K indicate that the ternary complexes containing aromatic amino acids were significantly more stable than the complexes containing alkyl- and hydroxyl alkyl substituted amino acids. The concentration distribution of various complex species formed in solution was also evaluated as a function of pH. The antimicrobial activities using the disc diffusion method against some selected bacteria and fungi. The activity data show that the metal complexes are found to have antibacterial and antifungal activity.

The influence of small variations in the composition on the corrosion behavior of Co-Cr-Mo alloys has been studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDX), and electrochemical measurements. SEM and EDX data were correlated with data from in vitro corrosion measurements involving repassivation and also potentiostatic anodic polarization measurements. Specimens studied included the four alloys shown in Table 1. Corrosion tests were conducted in Hanks' physiological saline solution which has a pH of 7.4 and was held at a temperature of 37°C. Specimens were mechanically polished to a surface finish with 0.05 µm A1203, then exposed to the solution and anodically polarized at a rate of 0.006 v/min. All voltages were measured vs. the saturated calomel electrode (s.c.e.).. Specimens had breakdown potentials near 0.47V vs. s.c.e.

Microtubules form part of the cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells. They are hollow libers of about 25 nm diameter made up of 13 protofilaments, each of which consists of a chain of heterodimers of α-and β-tubulin. Microtubules can be assembled in vitro at 37°C in the presence of GTP which is hydrolyzed during the reaction, and they are disassembled at 4°C. In contrast to most other polymers microtubules show the behavior of “dynamic instability”, i.e. they can switch between phases of growth and phases of shrinkage, even at an overall steady state [1]. In certain conditions an entire solution can be synchronized, leading to autonomous oscillations in the degree of assembly which can be observed by X-ray scattering (Fig. 1), light scattering, or electron microscopy [2-5]. In addition such solutions are capable of generating spontaneous spatial patterns [6].In an earlier study we have analyzed the structure of microtubules and their cold-induced disassembly by cryo-EM [7]. One result was that disassembly takes place by loss of protofilament fragments (tubulin oligomers) which fray apart at the microtubule ends. We also looked at microtubule oscillations by time-resolved X-ray scattering and proposed a reaction scheme [4] which involves a cyclic interconversion of tubulin, microtubules, and oligomers (Fig. 2). The present study was undertaken to answer two questions: (a) What is the nature of the oscillations as seen by time-resolved cryo-EM? (b) Do microtubules disassemble by fraying protofilament fragments during oscillations at 37°C?
