A post-antibiotic world is fast becoming a reality, given the rapid emergence of pathogens that are resistant to current drugs. Therefore, there is an urgent need to discover new classes of potent antimicrobial agents with novel modes of action. Cannabis sativa is an herbaceous plant that has been used for millennia for medicinal and recreational purposes. Its bioactivity is largely due to a class of compounds known as cannabinoids. Recently, these natural products and their analogs have been screened for their antimicrobial properties, in the quest to discover new anti-infective agents. This paper seeks to review the research to date on cannabinoids in this context, including an analysis of structure–activity relationships. It is hoped that it will stimulate further interest in this important issue.

: Cholesterol, a steroid alcohol, was discovered by M.E. Chevreul in 1815. Cholesterol and its derivatives showed a large variety of biological properties such as anticancer activity, anticardiac activity, anti-inflammatory activity, antimicrobial activity, anti-psychotic activity, antioxidant activity, drug-loaded activity, etc. In this mini-review, the advances of structural modification of cholesterol from 2014 to 2020 were summarized. In addition, the bioactivities, mechanisms of action and structure-activity relationships of cholesterol and its related derivatives were involved.

The examination of antimicrobial structure-activity relationships of 93 volatile phenylpropanes (VPs) and 21 related aromatic compounds revealed a dependence of antimicrobial activity from the kind and number of substituents on the aromatic ring, their substitution pattern and microbial characteristics, such as Gram coloring and strain specific factors. Eugenol isomers were predominantly inhibitory in a concentration range from 25 to 2000 mg/L against all microorganisms tested, which were three strains of Escherichia Coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Listeria monocytogenes, and Candida albicans. Etherified VPs were either less active or inactive depending on the type of side chain and/or substitution pattern. Differences in the antimicrobial activity of cis- and trans-isomers were observed. Species specific structure-activity relationships exist as was demonstrated with the Gram-negative bacteria (inactivity of E-ortho-eugenol) C. albicans (activity of di- and threefold methoxylated 1-propenylbenzenes), S. aureus and B. subtilis (activity of di-ortho methoxylated phenolic allylbenzenes and hydroquinone derivatives). With regard to the variety of observed specific effects and natural variation of susceptibility towards VPs according to literature reference data, the chances for successful prediction by computational analysis (QSAR) appear to be limited.

36 novel 1,5-benzodiazepine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial activity. The results revealed that most of the 1,5-benzodiazepine derivatives exhibited considerable potency against all of the tested strains.
