A series of new 2,4,6-trisubstituted-s-triazine was synthesized, assessed for antimicrobial activity, and characterized by FTIR, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, and elemental analysis. The tested compounds, 4d, 4g, 4h, 4k, and 4n, have shown considerable in vitro antibacterial efficacy with reference to the standard drug ciprofloxacin (MIC 3.125 μgmL−1 against B. subtilis, E. coli, and K. pneumoniae). It was observed that compounds 4d and 4h displayed equipotent antibacterial efficacy against B. subtilis (MIC 3.125 μgmL−1) and S. aureus (MIC 6.25 μgmL−1). The studies demonstrated that the para-fluorophenylpiperazine substituted s-triazine (4n) was potent and exhibited broad spectrum antibacterial activity against S. epidermidis, K. pneumoniae, and P. aeruginosa with MIC of 6.25 μgmL−1 and for E. coli, it showed an MIC of 3.125 μgmL−1 equipotent with reference to the standard drug. Among all the compounds under investigation, compound 4g also demonstrated significant antifungal activity (3.125 μgmL−1) against C. albicans.

Some novel Schiff bases and azetidinone congeners of norfloxacin have been synthesized and screened for antibacterial activity. The structures of compounds 1-ethyl-6-fluoro-7-piperazinyl-4-oxo-3-(substitutedarylidinylcarboxy- hydrazido)quinolines (2-6) and 1-ethyl-6-fluoro-7-pipera-zinyl-4-oxo-3-(3′-choloro-2′-oxo-4′-substitutedaryl-3′-aze-tidinyl)-aminocarboxy quinolines (7-11) were established by spectral and elemental analysis. The compounds 2-11 were evaluated in vitro against various strains of bacteria: E. coli ATCC 25922,    B. subtilis ATCC 1633 and S. aureus ATCC 25923 to determine their antibacterial activity and feasible structure-activity relationships. The results of the study were compared with reference drug. Compound 8: 1-ethyl-6-fluoro-7-piperazinyl-4-oxo-3-(3′-choloro-2′-oxo-4′-(4′′-methoxyphenyl)-3′-azetidinyl)-aminocarboxyquinoline has displayed more potent antibacterial activity as compared to standard drug, chloramphenicol.

Modifying the composition of dental restorative materials with antimicrobial agents might induce their antibacterial potential against cariogenic bacteria, e.g., S.mutans and L.acidophilus, as well as antifungal effect on C.albicans that are major oral pathogens. Essential oils (EOs) are widely known for antimicrobial activity and are successfully used in dental industry. The study aimed at evaluating antibacterial and antifungal activity of EOs and composite resin material (CR) modified with EO against oral pathogens. Ten EOs (i.e., anise, cinnamon, citronella, clove, geranium, lavender, limette, mint, rosemary thyme) were tested using agar diffusion method. Cinnamon and thyme EOs showed significantly highest antibacterial activity against S.mutans and L.acidophilus among all tested EOs. Anise and limette EOs showed no antibacterial activity against S.mutans. All tested EOs exhibited antifungal activity against C.albicans, whereas cinnamon EO showed significantly highest and limette EO significantly lowest activity. Next, 1, 2 or 5 µL of cinnamon EO was introduced into 2 g of CR and microbiologically tested. The modified CR showed higher antimicrobial activity in comparison to unmodified one. CR containing 2 µL of EO showed the best antimicrobial properties against S.mutans and C.albicans, while CR modified with 1 µL of EO showed the best antimicrobial properties against L.acidophilus.

Herein we report the design, synthesis, computational, and experimental evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of fourteen new 3-amino-5-(indol-3-yl) methylene-4-oxo-2-thioxothiazolidine derivatives. The structures were designed, and their antimicrobial activity and toxicity were predicted in silico. All synthesized compounds exhibited antibacterial activity against eight Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Their activity exceeded those of ampicillin and (for the majority of compounds) streptomycin. The most sensitive bacterium was S. aureus (American Type Culture Collection ATCC 6538), while L. monocytogenes (NCTC 7973) was the most resistant. The best antibacterial activity was observed for compound 5d (Z)-N-(5-((1H-indol-3-yl)methylene)-4-oxo-2-thioxothiazolidin-3-yl)-4-hydroxybenzamide (Minimal inhibitory concentration, MIC at 37.9–113.8 μM, and Minimal bactericidal concentration MBC at 57.8–118.3 μM). Three most active compounds 5d, 5g, and 5k being evaluated against three resistant strains, Methicillin resistant Staphilococcus aureus (MRSA), P. aeruginosa, and E. coli, were more potent against MRSA than ampicillin (MIC at 248–372 μM, MBC at 372–1240 μM). At the same time, streptomycin (MIC at 43–172 μM, MBC at 86–344 μM) did not show bactericidal activity at all. The compound 5d was also more active than ampicillin towards resistant P. aeruginosa strain. Antifungal activity of all compounds exceeded those of the reference antifungal agents bifonazole (MIC at 480–640 μM, and MFC at 640–800 μM) and ketoconazole (MIC 285–475 μM and MFC 380–950 μM). The best activity was exhibited by compound 5g. The most sensitive fungal was T. viride (IAM 5061), while A. fumigatus (human isolate) was the most resistant. Low cytotoxicity against HEK-293 human embryonic kidney cell line and reasonable selectivity indices were shown for the most active compounds 5d, 5g, 5k, 7c using thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide MTT assay. The docking studies indicated a probable involvement of E. coli Mur B inhibition in the antibacterial action, while CYP51 inhibition is likely responsible for the antifungal activity of the tested compounds.

Background: Due to multi-drug, extended-drug, and pandrug resistance phenotypes, bacterial resistance to antibiotics and fungal infections are a general health issue. Particulary, increase of fungal infections due to secondary cause of human diseases have been observed. An extensive variety of benzimidazole derivatives have been characterized for their chemotherapeutic significance. Benzimidazole derivatives have received important attention because of pharmacological significance during current years, especially antimicrobial, anti-fungal, antitubercular, antioxidant, anti-Alzheimer's disease and antihypertension activities. Methods: Some N-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-2-mercaptoacetamide derivatives (2a-h) were synthesised and evaluated for their antimicrobial activity. The title compounds were gained by reacting N-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-2-chloroacetamide with some substituted 2-mercapto heterocyclic rings. The synthesised compounds were investigated for their antimicrobial activities against C. albicans (ATCC 24433), C. krusei (ATCC 6258), C. glabrata (ATCC90030), C. parapsilosis (ATCC 22019), E. coli (ATCC 25922), E. coli (ATCC 35218), E. feacalis (ATCC 51299), E. feacalis (ATCC 29212), S. aureus (ATCC 25923), K. pneumoniae (ATCC 700603), P. aeruginosa (ATCC 27853). Results: The compounds showed high antifungal activity when compared with standard drug ketoconazole. In addition, all compounds (MIC 100 µg/mL) showed inhibitor activity against P. aeruginosa at two fold concentration of chloramphenicol (MIC 50 µg/mL). Also, compounds 2a, 2c and 2e (MIC: 50 µg/mL) have equal effect against E. coli (ATCC 35218) and more effective than other compounds (MIC of chloramphenicol: 100 µg/mL). Conclusıon: All compounds showed notable activity. Compounds have determined to possess higher antifungal activity than antibacterial activity. Additionally, compounds 2a with 1-methyltetrazole, 2c with benzothiazole and 2e with 6-chlorobenzothiazole moieties were found as the most active compounds.

3-Methoxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde undergoes Knoevenagel reaction with malonic acid to give 3-methoxy-5-nitrocinnamic acid (I). Treatment of I with thionyl chloride yielded 3-chloro-5-methoxy-7-nitrobenzo[b]thiophene-2-carbonyl chloride (II) in 45 % yield. The reaction of II with 2-nitrophenol in benzene gave 2-nitrophenyl 3-chloro-5-methoxy- 7-nitrobenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate (IIIa) in 65 % yield. Finally, dehydrochlorinative photocyclization of IIIa in acetone in the presence of the base triethylamine afforded 10-methoxy-4,8-dinitro-6H-benzothieno_2,3-c_chromen-6-one (IVa). Thus, a series of derivatives IVa-i were synthesized in excellent yields. The structures of the obtained products were characterized by IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy, as well as elemental analysis. Their purity was ascertained by chromatographic analysis. All the compounds were tested for their antibacterial activity against S. aureus, E. coli, B. subtilis and S. typhosa.
