Crude extracts of the lichen Graphis tetralocularis exhibited antimycobacterial activity, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values in a range of 100–200 μg mL–1. Chemical investigation of the broth led to the isolation of acremonidin E (1) and graphisins A (2) and B (3). Acremonidin E (1) displayed antitubercular activity with MIC values of 50 μg mL–1 and showed cytotoxicity against BC, KB, and NCI-H187 cell lines with IC50 values of 12.79–27.12 μg mL–1, whereas graphisins A (2) and B (3) were inactive to these tests.

AbstractEight new sugar-substituted isoxazoles were synthesized by a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of aromatic nitrile oxides with carbohydrate-substituted alkynes. Products were screened for antimycobacterial activity against the Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain. Four compounds, 5e–h, significantly inhibit growth of the bacterial strain with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 3.125 μg/mL.

Oxidation of 1-aryltetrazole-5-thiols afforded bis(1-aryltetrazol-5-yl) disulfides. The compounds were tested for antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. kansasii, M. avium and M. fortuitum. In the case of M. tuberculosis, the logarithm of minimum inhibitory concentration showed a parabolic dependence on hydrophobic substituent constants. Although the compounds exhibited low to medium activity, the most active derivative, bis(4-chlorophenyltetrazol-5-yl) disulfide (III) was more effective against atypical strains than are the commercial tuberculostatics used as standards.

The purpose of this research is to examine in vitro antioxidant, antimicrobial, antidiabetic and cytotoxic efficacy of different extracts of Crocus sativus L. petals. Antioxidant activity of extracts was assessed by DPPH and ABTS (2,2′-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) assay. Among all extracts, ethanol (SPE) had the maximum radical scavenging activity with IC50 values 86.63 ± 7.53 μg/mL. The antimicrobial activity was determined by the evaluation of the minimum inhibitory concentration using the agar well plate procedure. The most effective extract was SPE with a minimum inhibitory concentration varying between 500 µg/mL, 250 µg/mL, 125 µg/mL, 62.5 µg/mL, 31.25 µg/mL, 15.63 µg/mL. Cytotoxic activity was tested against MDA-MB-231 cell lines using the MTT method whereas, antidiabetic activity was evaluated using an alpha-glucosidase inhibition assay. All extracts were found to have significant antidiabetic activity.

<p><strong>Objective: </strong>The search for new, potentially useful antimycobacterial agents. In continuation with our previous screening for the discovery of novel drugs for tuberculosis, a new series of 1,8-naphthyridines derivatives were synthesized and evaluated <em>in vitro </em>for antimycobacterial activity against <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis </em>H37Rv.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Several 4-morpholinomethyl-1.8-naphthyridine derivatives have been synthesized in excellent yields. The synthesized compounds were characterized by spectroscopic methods as well as elemental analyses. They were screened for their antimycobacterial activity. The growth was monitored radiometrically in 7H12 broth with the BACTEC 460 TB system. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined for compounds that demonstrated ≥ 90% growth inhibition in the primary screening.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The obtained data suggested that all compounds showed significant activity against <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis </em>H37Rv<em> </em>compared to the standard reference drug. Analogues (6-11) having heterocyclic groups in position 7 were the most potent of those we tested.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>These findings clearly identify the 1,8-naphthyridine analogue (10) with a 6-amino-2-(4'-methoxy benzylamine-4-morpholinomethyl-7-morpholino-substituent as promising anti-tubercular agents possessing significant activity against <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis </em>H37Rv</p>

Aim: This paper reports on the antimycobacterial activity of the oleoresins and extracts obtained from Copaifera spp. Materials & methods: The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and fractional inhibitory concentration index techniques helped to evaluate the effect of these oleoresins and extracts against six strains of mycobacteria that cause tuberculosis. Results & conclusion: Among the assayed oleoresins and plant extracts, the Copaifera langsdorffii, Copaifera duckei, Copaifera reticulata and Copaifera trapezifolia oleoresins provided the lowest MIC values against some of the tested strains. The combination of Copaifera spp. samples with isoniazid did not evidence any synergistic action. Some Copaifera spp. oleoresins may represent a future source for the discovery of new antimycobacterial drugs due to their low MIC values.

Isoxazoline derivatives of the natural products eugenol, 1’- S-acetoxychavicol acetate and sclareol are prepared through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions in an aqueous buffered system. The compounds are evaluated for their antitubercular and antibacterial activities. Compounds 2, 2a and 3f display strong antitubercular activity with minimum inhibitory concentration values of 26.68, 17.89 and 14.58 µM, respectively. Furthermore, derivative 3f exhibits antibacterial activity against Bacillus cereus (minimum inhibitory concentration value of 29.16 µM). Isoxazoline derivatives of 1’- S-acetoxychavicol acetate demonstrate improvements in cytotoxicity, and derivative 3f of sclareol demonstrates improved antitubercular and antibacterial activities. Isoxazolines derived from natural products exhibit Mycobacterium tuberculosis enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (InhA) inhibitory activity, and molecular modelling predicts that they form hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions with NADH and with the key residues of the InhA binding site.

C21 steroids glycosides of various deoxysugars have been emerging from genus of Cynanchum. Besides classical C21 glycosides, many C21 glycosides with seco-ring aglycones attracted the extensive attention of many researchers. We conducted a systematic chemical investigation on Cynanchum hancockianum, which led to the isolation of one new seco-ring C21 steroidal glycosides. The new compound was identified as cynaascyriogenin 3-O-&#946;-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-4)-&#945;-L-cymaropyranosy-(1-4)- &#946;-D-cymaropyranosyl-(1-4)-&#946;-D-cymaropyranoside. The cytotoxic activities of the compound were evaluated using the A549 and MCF-7 cell lines, respectively. The IC50 values of the compound were 41.3 and 67.1&#181;M, respectively. This is the first report on the isolation of seco-ring C21 steroidal glycosides from Cynanchum hancockianum.
