Chitosan, a hydrophilic biopolymer industrially obtained by N-deacetylation of chitin, can be applied as an antimicrobial agent. It highlights the applications of chitosan as an antimicrobial agent against fungi, bacteria, and viruses and as an elicitor of plant defense mechanisms. A series of novel chitosan-sulfathiazole nanocomposite (CSFZ) films were prepared by using solvent casting method for wound healing application. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was employed to ascertain the interaction between negatively charged sulfathiazole and positively charged chitosan. Moreover, the antibacterial activity of the films was investigated against gram positive and gram negative microorganisms. It was found that all CSFZ films showed good inhibitory activity against all the tested bacteria as compared to control. The above analysis suggested that the CSFZ films could be used as potential candidates for wound healing application.

Background: Bacterial infections are considered as one of the major global health threats, so it is very essential to design and develop new antibacterial agents to overcome the drawbacks of existing antibacterial agents. Method: The aim of this work is to synthesize a series of new fluoroquinolone-3-carboxamide amino acid conjugates by molecular hybridization. We utilized benzotriazole chemistry to synthesize the desired hybrid conjugates. Result: All the conjugates were synthesized in good yields, characterized, evaluated for their antibacterial activity. The compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity using methods adapted from the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. Synthesized conjugates were tested for activity against medically relevant pathogens; Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27856) Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) and Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 19433). Conclusion: The observed antibacterial experimental data indicates the selectivity of our synthesized conjugates against E.Coli. The protecting group on amino acids decreases the antibacterial activity. The synthesized conjugates are non-toxic to the normal cell lines. The experimental data were supported by computational studies.

  Objective: The increased microbial resistance against commercially available drugs initiated the development of novel and safe antimicrobial agents in last few decades. In this view, a series of amino acid/dipeptide derivatives of quinazolin-3(4H)-one was synthesized and was evaluated for their antimicrobial potential.Method: Synthesis of amino acid/peptide derivatives were carried out by coupling 5-(2-(2-chlorophenyl)-4-oxoquinazolin-3(4H)-yl)-2-hydroxy benzoic acid with amino acid/dipeptide methyl esters in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and N-methylmorpholine. The chemical structures of synthesized compounds were characterized by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy and were screened for antibacterial activity by disc diffusion method.Results: All the synthesized derivatives exhibited moderate to significant antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The potency of compound 5d was comparable to standard drug ciprofloxacin in all the strains of bacteria used. The compound 5a was found to be more active against Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus while compound 5c against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. Conclusion: Peptide derivatives of quinazolinone are promising antimicrobial agent and can be used for the synthesis of other novel compounds.
