The aim of this study was preparation of new derivatives based on 2-((4-chlorophenoxy)methyl)-N-(arylcarbamothioyl)benzamide structure; the new compounds were characterized by IR, NMR (1H, 13C) spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The obtained compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against planktonic and biofilm-embedded microbial cells (Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans), by qualitative and quantitative assays. Some of the compounds revealed promising antibacterial and antifungal activities, with low minimum inhibitory concentration values between 0.15 and 2.5 mg/mL and minimal biofilm eradication concentrations of 0.019–2.5 mg/mL. To investigate the potential target of their antibacterial activity, in silico drug-likeness and molecular docking screenings on Staphylococcus aureus DNA gyrase were performed. The compound with the best antibacterial activity (1g) was docked into topoisomerase II DNA gyrase enzymes (PDB ID: 2XCS) and showed valuable interactions with the target protein along with good docking scores, suggesting that it can act by the inhibition of DNA replication. The tested compounds exhibited only a poor antioxidant activity, as revealed by the in vitro assay using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay.

Several 6- and 7-alkoxy-2-oxo-2H-chromene-4-carbaldehydes were prepared from corresponding alkyl ethers of 6- and 7-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-2-ones by oxidation using selenium dioxide. 6- and 7-Alkoxy-4-methyl-2H-chromenes were obtained with yields of 57-85%. Corresponding 4-carbaldehyde derivatives were prepared with yields of 41-67%. Thiosemicarbazones of these aldehydes with D-galactose moiety were synthesized by reaction of these aldehydes with N-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-Dgalactopyranosyl) thiosemicarbazide with yields of 62-74%. These thiosemicarbazones were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities in vitro against bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and fungi, such as Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans. Several compounds exhibited strong inhibitory activity with MIC values of 0.78- 1.56 μM, including 8a (against S. aureus, E. coli, and C. albicans), 8d (against E. coli and A. niger), 9a (against S. aureus), and 9c (against S. aureus and C. albicans).

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is the most common bacteria causing nosocomial infections with high levels of resistance to available antibiotics. So, it is necessary to search for new compounds to solve this problem. Various studies showed antibacterial activity of rambutan peel but for Rambutan Binjai peel extract that are from Indonesia has never been studied against the MRSA. This study aims to determine the antibacterial activity, the value of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) using agar diffusion method. The concentration of rambutan peel ethanol extract at as much as 62.5 mg/ml showed the inhibitory diameter i.e 21.3 ± 2.4 mm. MIC and MBC were in the same range, which was between 0.98 (mg/ml) to 1.95 (mg/ml). The activity strength of tetracycline against the extract was at 1:50. This revealed that Rambutan Binjai peel extract had great potency as antibacterial agent to MRSA. Dhaka Univ. J. Pharm. Sci. 17(2): 197-203, 2018 (December)

The growing resistance of bacteria to many antibiotics that have been in use for several decades has generated the need to discover new antibacterial agents with structural features qualifying them to overcome the resistance mechanisms. Thus, novel pyridothienopyrimidine derivatives (2a,b–a,b) were synthesized by a series of various reactions, starting with 3-aminothieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxamides (1a,b). Condensation of compounds 1a,b with cyclohexanone gave 1’H-spiro[cyclohexane-1,2’-pyrido[3’,2’:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin]-4’(3’H)-ones (2a,b), which in turn were utilized to afford the target 4-substituted derivatives (3a,b–8a,b). In vitro antibacterial activity evaluations of all the new compounds (2a,b–8a,b) were performed against six strains of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. The target compounds showed significant antibacterial activity, especially against Gram-negative strains. Moreover, the compounds (2a,b; 3a,b; 4a,b; and 5a,b) that exhibited potent activity against Escherichia coli were selected to screen their inhibitory activity against Escherichia coli topoisomerase II (DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV) enzymes. Compounds 4a and 4b showed potent dual inhibition of the two enzymes with IC50 values of 3.44 µΜ and 5.77 µΜ against DNA gyrase and 14.46 µΜ and 14.89 µΜ against topoisomerase IV, respectively. In addition, docking studies were carried out to give insight into the binding mode of the tested compounds within the E. coli DNA gyrase B active site compared with novobiocin.

A series of quinoxaline derivatives has been synthesized by reacting 3-hydrazinoquinoxalines 1a,b with many bifunctional reagents. Reaction of 1a,b with chloroacetyl chloride and ethyl chloroacetate afforded 1-chloromethyl[1,2,4]tnazoIo[4,3-a]quinoxalines 2a,b and dihydro[1,2,4]triazino[4,3-a]quinoxalin-2-ones 3a,b respectively. Condensation of 1a,b with ethyl acetoacetate and acetylacetone yielded 2-quinoxalinylhydrazonobutanoates 4a,b and 2-quinoxalinylhydrazono-2-pentanones 5a,b respectively. Cyclization of 5a,b gave 3,5-dimethylpyrazolylquinoxalines 6a,b. Moreover, reaction of compounds 2a,b with N-phenyl piperazine derivatives afforded 4-(4-Arylpiperazin-1-yl)-1-[(4-arylpiperazin-1-yl) methyl)]triazoloquinoxalines 7a−e. The prepared compounds were screened for in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities. None of the tested compounds showed significant activity towards Pseudomonas aeruginosa. However, remarkable activities were noticed for compounds 5a and 5b against Eschenchia coli. Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. Compounds 6a and 6b lacked any antimicrobial activities against the tested microorganisms.

Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of pharmacophores having naphthylamine and nitro groups on the antimicrobial (antibacterial and antifungal) activity of thiazolidinone derivatives. Materials and Methods. The initial 5-substituted-2-methylmercaptothiazolidin-4-ones were subjected to S-demethylation to yield 2-amino-substituted thiazolidinones. 4-Nitro-1-naphthylamine, nitrofuran aldehydes, and nitrobenzene aldehydes were used as pharmacophoric compounds having amino or aldehyde groups. Antimicrobial (antibacterial and antifungal) activity of the new compounds was tested in vitro against bacterial cultures – Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae – and fungal cultures – Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida krusei, Candida kefyr, Candida tropicalis, and Candida parapsilosis. Results. Microbiological analysis showed that all new thiazolidinone derivatives with nitronaphthylamine substituent possessed antibacterial and antifungal properties. New compounds 2a-b showed similar antibacterial activity in vitro against S. aureus and B. subtilis as aminopenicillins. The lowest antibacterial activity of all newly synthesized compounds was against capsule-forming bacteria K. pneumoniae and against gram-negative bacteria E. coli (minimum inhibitory concentration range, 500–1000 μg/mL). Conclusions. The minimum inhibitory concentration of naphthylamine derivatives varied in the range of 0.4–1000 μg/mL, and activity of some newly synthesized compounds was similar to the activity of aminopenicillins and fluconazole, an antifungal preparation. Based on the results, it is possible to separate the perspective group of potential antimicrobial compounds.

Carboxylate functionalized ligand (LH) was synthesized as a result of reaction between maleic anhydride and 2�aminothiazole. This ligand was further reacted with Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Bi(III) ions to yield respective metal complexes. The structural aspects were studied using FTIR, UV�Visible and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Non-electrolytic behavior was revealed by the conductivity measurements. Except Bi(III) being octahedral, all other complexes prepared are tetrahedral in geometry. Ligand (LH) and its metal complexes were also investigated for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities. All the complexes exhibited significant antibacterial activity but non-significant antifungal activity.
