The Colletotrichum musae and Fusarium semitectum Berk., Which often occur in banana after harvest were used as the targets. Three components with antibacterial activity extracted from the leaves of the plant were used as "fungicide". The antibacterial effect of the three component substances on the pathogens of anthracnose and shaft rot was studied. The results showed that the inhibitory rates of the components A, B and C at 2 mg / ml on the pathogens of banana anthracnose and shaft rot reached 82.53%, 79.91%, 78.30% and 82.2%, 78.69% and 81.17% respectively. The EC90 values of component A, B and C for banana anthracnose pathogens were 1.70, 1.85, and 1.69 mg / ml. Respectively, the EC90 values for banana shaft rot pathogens were 1.37, 1.38, and 1.64 mg / ml. The antibacterial effect of the three component substances on the pathogen of banana shaft rot was better than that of anthracnose. The three component substances have great potential for controlling post-harvest anthracnose and shaft rot of bananas.

Abstract A series of pyrimidine-containing 4H-chromen-4-one derivatives were designed and synthesized by combining bioactive substructures. All compounds were characterized using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 19F NMR and HRMS. Preliminary biological activity results showed that most of title compounds displayed significant inhibitory activity against Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. Citri (Xac), Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) and Ralstonia solanacearum (Rs). In particular, compound 4c demonstrated a good inhibitory effect against Xac and Xoo, with half-maximal effective concentration(EC50) values of 15.5 and 14.9 μg/mL respectively, and that of compound 4h showed the best antibacterial activity against Rs with an EC50 value of 14.7 μg/mL, These results were better than both bismerthiazol (BT, 51.7, 70.1 and 52.7 μg/mL, respectively) and thiodiazole copper (TC, 77.9, 95.8 and 72.1 μg/mL respectively). In vivo antibacterial activity results indicated that compound 4c displayed better curative(42.4%) and protective (49.2%) activities for reducing rice bacterial leaf blight than both BT (35.2, 39.1%) and TC (30.8, 27.3%). The mechanism of compound 4c against Xoo was analysed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results showed that the compound destroied the bacterial cell membrane structure. These results indicated that pyrimidine-containing 4H-chromen-4-one derivatives are valuable in the research of new agrochemicals.

Abstract Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been synthesized in the presence of Strawberry fruit extract (SBFE) at room temperature. The synthesized AgNPs was characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, SEM, EDS, XRD, TEM and FTIR. The UV-vis spectra of the AgNPs show SPR band at 450 nm. TEM results indicate that AgNPs are spherical in shape and size range between 7–65 nm. Antibacterial activity of the synthesized AgNPs has been assessed against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus licheniformis. The results show that AgNPs exhibit inhibitory effect and effect is a function of AgNPs concentration. The antibacterial activity of the prepared AgNPs has been compared with two antibiotics, amoxicillin and ciprofloxacin. It is found that the antibiotics perform better than AgNPs.

In order to discover new lead compounds with high antibacterial activity, a series of new derivatives were designed and synthesized by introducing a sulfonate or carboxylate moiety into the 1,3,4-oxadiazole structure. Antibacterial activity against two phytopathogens, Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) and Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac), was assayed in vitro. The preliminary results indicated that ten compounds including 4a-1-4a-4 and 4a-11-4a-16 had good antibacterial activity against Xoo, with EC50 values ranging from 50.1-112.5 µM, which was better than those of Bismerthiazol (253.5 µM) and Thiodiazole copper (467.4 µM). Meanwhile, 4a-1, 4a-2, 4a-3 and 4a-4 demonstrated good inhibitory effect against Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri with EC50 values around 95.8-155.2 µM which were better than those of bismerthiazol (274.3 µM) and thiodiazole copper (406.3 µM). In addition, in vivo protection activity of compound 4a-2 and 4a-3 against rice bacterial leaf blight was 68.6% and 62.3%, respectively, which were better than bismerthiazol (49.6%) and thiodiazole copper (42.2%). Curative activity of compound 4a-2 and 4a-3 against rice bacterial leaf blight was 62.3% and 56.0%, which were better than bismerthiazol (42.9%) and thiodiazole copper (36.1%). Through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis, it was observed that compound 4a-2 caused the cell membrane of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae ruptured or deformed. The present results indicated novel derivatives of 5-phenyl sulfonate methyl 1,3,4-oxadiazole might be potential antibacterial agents.

One of the consequences of the abuse in the use of antibiotics is the emergence of resistant bacteria, wich causes new drugs to be sought, and thus makes it necessary to seek alternatives sources. There are many natural compounds, obtained from cyanobacteria, that have an inhibitory effect against various pathogenic bacteria. In this group of cyanobacteria are those belonging to the Lyngbya and Pseudanabaena genera; therefore, the aim of this work was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of methanolic extracts from L. truncicola and Pseudanabaena sp. against reference strains: Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica ssp. enterica serovar Typhimurium. The cyanobacteria were propagated in BG-11 medium with constant aeration and a 12 hour light: dark photoperiod. The antibacterial activity test was carried out by the Kirby-Bauer method. The antibacterial effect was observed as growth inhibition halos. All the microorganisms presented suffered inhibition, the greater effect was produced on S. enterica ssp. enterica serovar Typhimurium. The largest halos were obtained with the extract of Lyngbya truncicola.

Background: Chlamydiae, characterized by a unique biphasic life cycle, are a group of Gram-negative obligate intracellular bacterial pathogens responsible for diseases in a range of hosts including humans. Benzylidene acylhydrazide CF0001 could inhibit chlamydiae independent of iron starvation and T3SS inhibition. This finding promoted us to design and synthesize more benzylidene acylhydrazides to find novel anti-chlamydial agents. Methods: The carboxylic acids 1a-1d were coupled with Boc-hydrazide inpresence of EDCI and DMAP to obtain the intermediate 2a-2d in 60-62% yields. N-Boc deprotections were performed to obtain hydrazide hydrochloride salt 3a-3d. Nextly, the hydrazides were subjected to condensation with aldehydes to obtain benzylidene acylhydrazides 4a-4g in 30-52% yields in two steps. Results: Compound 4d exhibited best inhibitory effect on the formation and growth of chlamydial inclusions. The IC50 value of compound 4d for infectious progenies was 3.55 µM, better than 7.30 µM of CF0001. Conclusion: To find novel anti-chlamydial agents, we have designed and synthesized benzylidene acylhydrazides 4a-4g. Compounds 4a, 4d, 4g showed inhibitory activity on C. muridarum with the IC50 values from 3.55-12 µM. The 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxyl substitutes on ring B are critical to keep their anti-chlamydial activity. Compound 4d inhibited C. muridarum in a dose-dependent manner without apparent cytotoxicity.
