Samarium doped hydroxyapatite (Sm:HAp),Ca10-xSmx(PO4)6(OH)2(HAp), bionanoparticles with differentxSmhave been successfully synthesized by coprecipitation method. Detailed characterization of samarium doped hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (Sm:HAp-NPs) was carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The biocompatibility of samarium doped hydroxyapatite was assessed by cell viability. The antibacterial activity of the Sm:HAp-NPs was tested against Gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosaandEscherichia coli) and Gram-positive bacteria (Enterococcus faecalisandStaphylococcus aureus). A linear increase of antimicrobial activity ofP. aeruginosahas been observed when concentrations of Sm:HAp-NPs in the samples withxSm=0.02were higher than 0.125 mg/mL. For Sm:HAp-NPs withxSm=0.05a significant increase of antibacterial activity onE. coliwas observed in the range 0.5–1 mg/mL. For low concentrations of Sm:HAp-NPs (xSm=0.05) from 0.031 to 0.125 mg/mL a high antibacterial activity onEnterococcus faecalishas been noticed. A growth of the inhibitory effect onS. aureuswas observed for all concentrations of Sm:HAp-NPs withxSm=0.02.

1,4-Dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acids VIIIc and VIIId were prepared via their ethyl esters VIIIa and VIIIb, which were obtained by a direct arylation of ethyl 7-chloro-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylate (VIa). When treated with piperazine or N-methylpiperazine compound VIIId yields VIIIe or VIIIf, respectively. Reduction of VIIId, VIIIe, and VIIIf with ferrous sulfate yields VIIIg, VIIIh, and VIIIi, respectively. Diazotization and introduction of fluorine into VIIIg using hydrogen fluoride-pyridine yields VIIIj. The compounds prepared were tested for their antimicrobial activity in vitro.

Abstract Introduction Much advertising in mouthwash is conveyed in all media appealing to the anti-plaque effect and rendering a disservice to the community. Mouth rinses are available over-the-count and differ on their compositions and antimicrobial effectiveness. Objective In this study, we evaluated the antimicrobial activity of 35 widely available mouth rinses against bacterial species involved in initiation of dental biofilm – Streptococcus gordonii, Streptococcus mitis, Streptococcus oralis, Streptococcus salivarius, and Streptococcus sanguinis. Material and method The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and the Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) of the evaluated mouth rinses were determined according to the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute protocols. Data were submitted to Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney post hoc (α=0.05). Result About 70% of the mouth rinses achieved high antibacterial activity and 30%, a low antibacterial activity against all the species tested. The most ineffective mouth rinse showed antibacterial activity (MIC) at 1:1 dilution, while the most effective showed activity even at 1:2048 dilution, which may imply prolonged effect in the mouth. About 51% of mouth rinses showed bactericidal activity, and it was verified that cetylpyridinium chloride or chlorhexidine digluconate containing in the formulation were associated with the highest activity. Conclusion Most - but not all - mouth rinses commercially available are effective in inhibiting in vitro initial colonizers of dental surfaces.

The number of cases of failure in the treatment of infections associated with resistant bacteria is on the rise, due to the decreasing efficacy of current antibiotics. Notably, 7α-Acetoxy-6β-hydroxyroyleanone (AHR), a diterpene isolated from different Plectranthus species, showed antibacterial activity, namely against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains. The high antibacterial activity and low cytotoxicity render this natural compound an interesting alternative against resistant bacteria. The aim of this study is to understand the mechanism of action of AHR on MRSA, using the MRSA/Vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA) strain CIP 106760, and to study the AHR effect on lipid bilayers and on the cell wall. Although AHR interacted with lipid bilayers, it did not have a significant effect on membrane passive permeability. Alternatively, bacteria treated with this royleanone displayed cell wall disruption, without revealing cell lysis. In conclusion, the results gathered so far point to a yet undescribed mode of action that needs further investigation.

Streptococcus zoonotic bacteria cause serious problems in aquaculture with clinical effects on humans. A structure-antibacterial activity relationships analysis of 22 isoflavones isolated from M. tricuspidata (leaves, ripe fruits, and unripe fruits) against S. iniae revealed that prenylation of the isoflavone skeleton was an important key for their antibacterial activities (minimum inhibitory concentrations: 1.95–500 μg/mL). Through principal component analysis, characteristic prenylated isoflavones such as 6,8-diprenlygenistein (4) were identified as pivotal compounds that largely determine each part’s antibacterial activities. M. tiricuspidata ripe fruits (MTF), which showed the highest antibacterial activity among the parts tested, were optimized for high antibacterial activity and low cytotoxicity on fathead minnow cells using Box–Behnken design. Optimized extraction conditions were deduced to be 50%/80 °C/7.5 h for ethanol concentration/extraction temperature/time, and OE-MTF showed contents of 6,8-diprenlygenistein (4), 2.09% with a MIC of 40 µg/mL. These results suggest that OE-MTF and its active isoflavones have promising potential as eco-friendly antibacterial agents against streptococcosis in aquaculture.

Introduction: A variety of organic compounds has been reported to have antibacterial activity. However, antimicrobial resistance is one of the main problems of current anti-infective therapy, and the development of novel antibacterials is one of the main challenges of current drug discovery. Methods: Using our previously developed dual-reporter High-Throughput Screening (HTS) platform, we identified a series of furanocoumarins as having high antibacterial activity. The construction of the reporter system allows us to differentiate three mechanisms of action for the active compounds: inhibition of protein synthesis (induction of Katushka2S), DNA damaging (induction of RFP) or other (inhibition of bacterial growth without reporter induction). Results: Two primary hit-molecules of furanocoumarin series demonstrated relatively low MIC values comparable to that observed for Erythromycin (Ery) against E. coli and weakly induced both reporters. Dose-dependent translation inhibition was shown using in vitro luciferase assay, however it was not confirmed using C14-test. A series of close structure analogs of the identified hits was obtained and investigated using the same screening platform. Compound 19 was found to have slightly lower MIC value (15.18 µM) and higher induction of Katushka2S reporter in contrast to the parent structures. Moreover, translation blockage was clearly identified using both in vitro luciferase assay and C14 test. The standard cytotoxicity test revealed a relatively low cytotoxicity of the most active molecules. Conclusion: High antibacterial activity in combination with low cytotoxicity was demonstrated for a series of furanocoumarins. Further optimization of the described structures may result in novel and attractive lead compounds with promising antibacterial efficiency.

The coupling reaction of corresponding benzene diazonium chlorides with benzoyl acetates IIIa-IIIc yielded intermediates IVa-IVe. Their intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization provided 1-aryl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxocinnoline-3-carboxylates Va-Ve. Compounds Va, Vb, Vd, and Ve were hydrolyzed to acids VIa-VIc. Treatment of these acids with the respective cyclic amines yielded compounds VIIa-VIIg which were converted to their hydrochlorides. All compounds prepared were tested for their antimicrobial activity in vitro.
