Four novel binuclear copper(II) complexes [1–4] of (2E)-2-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)-4N-substituted hydrazinecarbothioamides, (OH)(OCH3)C6H4CH=NNHC(S)NHR, where R = H (L1), Me (L2), Et (L3), or Ph (L4), have been synthesized and characterized. The FT-IR spectral data suggested the attachment of copper(II) ion to ligand moiety through the azomethine nitrogen, thioketonic sulphur, and phenolic-O. The spectroscopic characterization indicates the dissociation of dimeric complex into mononuclear [Cu(L)Cl] units in polar solvents like DMSO, where L is monoanionic thiosemicarbazone. The DNA binding properties of the complexes with calf thymus (CT) DNA were studied by spectroscopic titration. The complexes show binding affinity to CT DNA with binding constant (Kb) values in the order of 106 M−1. The ligands and their metal complexes were tested for antibacterial and antifungal activities by agar disc diffusion method. Except for complex 4, all complexes showed considerable activity almost equal to the activity of ciprofloxacin. These complexes did not show any effect on Gram-negative bacteria, whereas they showed moderate activity for Gram-positive strains.

A new series of Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Mn(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II) , VO(II), UO2(II) , Fe(III) and Ru(III) complexes of N'-(2-hydroxy-5- phenyldiazenyl)benzylideneisonicotinohydrazide(H2L) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental,1H-NMR, IR, UV-Vis., ESR, magnetic, thermogravimetric analyses(TG) and conductivity measurements. The spectral data show that, the ligand behaves as a neutral bidentate, (2), (4), (5), (6) and (14), monobasic bidentate, (3), (7), (8), (9) and (10), monobasic tridentate (11) and (16) or dibasic tridentate (12), (13) and (15) bonded to metal ions via the carbonyl oxygen atom in ketonic or enolic form, azomethine nitrogen atom and/or deprotonated phenolic hydroxyl oxygen. The ESR spectrum of solid vanadyl(II), complex (2) shows axially anisotropic spectrum with eight lines in the low field region and g?>g||, A||>>A?relationship, which is characteristics of distorted octahedral structure with dxy ground state. However, copper(II) complexes (4), (5) and (6) and manganese(II) complex (10) show an isotropic type while the copper(II) complexes (3) and (7)show an axial symmetry type with g||>g?>ge indicating a covalent bond character. The antibacterial and antifungal activities of the ligand and its metal complexes show mild activity compared with standard drugs (Tetracycline for bacteria and amphotricene B for fungi).

<p class="Abstract">The present study was aimed to evaluate the phytochemical screening and antimicrobial activity of the petroleum ether and methanol extracts from the mature leaves of <em>Richardia scabra</em> from India. Disc diffusion method was used to determine the zone inhibition of the tested samples for antibacterial and agar plug method was used to determine the antifungal activity, while the microtube-dilution technique was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration. Both extracts showed significant antibacterial and antifungal activities when tested against 10 bacterial and four fungal strains. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of the methanol extract of<em> R. scabra</em> ranged between 12.5–100 μg/mL for bacterial strains. Alkaloids, steroids, flavonoids, fatty acids, terpenoids and simple sugar were detected as phytoconstituents of extracts. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report against antimicrobial activity of common weed species <em>R. scabra</em> found in India.</p><p> </p>

In this study, new mixed ligand complexes have been prepared from bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)dithiophosphinic acid (C16H35PS2) and 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (C14H12N2) with various metal(II) ions. The molecular formula of the metal complexes were [Mn(C16H34PS2)(C14H12N2)]Cl (1), [Fe(C16H34PS2)(C14H12N2)]Cl (2), [Co(C16H34PS2) (C14H12N2)]Cl (3), [Zn(C16H34PS2)(C14H12N2)]Cl (4) and [Cd(C16H34PS2)(C14H12N2)]Cl (5). These complexes have been characterized by various physico-chemical techniques such as melting point, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements as well as UV-Vis, IR, TG and mass spectroscopic analyses. The surface morphology was determined by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The magnetic moment value, color as well as spectral measurements suggested that the geometrical structures of the metal complexes were tetrahedral. The spectral data showed that bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)dithiophosphinic acid and 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline ligands  acted as uninegative and neutral bidentate ligand, respectively. The obtained mixed ligand complexes were more stable in air and highly soluble in common organic solvent. The bio-efficacy of ligands and metal complexes have been screened against the test microorganism using agar disc diffusion method. The complex 4 showed potential antibacterial activity against Sterptococcus aureus as compared to standard drug, imipenem. On the other hand, the complex 3 also displayed more potent antifungal activity against Lecanicillium fungicola. Moreover, the complex 3 was also found to have better scavenging activity against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl.

The purpose of this work was to determine the antibacterial and antifungal activities of Datura stramonium on selected microorganisms, and to evaluate its phytochemical properties. The dry and wet leaves of D. stramonium were collected, extracted using ethanol and water, and assessed for antibacterial and antifungal activities at different concentrations (25mg, 12.5mg, 6.25mg, and 3.12mg) by disc diffusion method. The clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Escherichia coli, Salmonela typhi, Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans were used. The highest zone of inhibition for bacteria was shown with ethanolic dry extract (11.3±3.4) at 25mg/ml and the lowest with aqueous dry extract (4.0±1.4) at 25mg/ml against Escherichia coli. The highest zone of inhibition for fungi was shown with ethanolic dry extract (10±1.4) at 25mg/ml against Aspergillus fumigatus and the lowest was with ethanolic wet extract (2.0±0.0) at 25mg/ml against Candida albican.The phytochemical analysis result showed the presence of tannin (1.757%), phenol (1.149%), flavonoid (6.325%), alkaloid (8.552%), phytate (2.671%), and hydrogen cyanide (4.175%). The chromatographic analysis showed the presence of over 40 elements with the highest as hydrazine (41%) and methyl hydrogen disulphide (41%). In this study, D. stramonium leaf extracts showed significant antibacterial and antifungal activities due to the presence of the phytochemical and bioactive compounds. This upholds the native utility of this plant to treat bacterial and fungal infections. Conclusively, this plant would serve as treatment alternatives for infections and basis for sources of antimicrobial agent.

<span>A large number of wild fruits belonging to the North Eastern region of India are considered to be nutritionally abundant and traditionally used for the treatment of various ailments. In the present study, juices of Gooseberry and Wild Apple have been evaluated for their antimicrobial activity in its consumable form as a potential source of natural anti-infective agent. The fruit juices were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities qualitatively, using the agar well diffusion method followed by quantitative assessment by determining the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC). The study revealed that both the fruit juices exhibited broad spectrum antibacterial activity. Considerable activity against drug resistant pathogens such as Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Vancomycin Resistant Enterococci (VRE) and Extended Spectrum β-Lactamases (ESBL) producing Gram Negative bacteria (GNB) was observed. Thus, this study highlights the antibacterial efficacy of Wild Apple and Gooseberry fruit juices and augments the beneficiary properties of highly nutritional fruit juices that are specific to the Indian region.</span>
