A Gas Chromatography and Maas Spectroscopy method was developed and validated for determination and identification of α-humulene in a traditional medicinal herb Didymocarpous pedicellatus R. Br. (DP) (Gesneriaceae) and its poly herbal formulation, Safoof-e-pathar phori (SPP) including their essential oil. Hydrodistillation method were used for the isolation of essential oils from the leaves of DP and SPP herbal formulation. The proposed analysis method was found to be linear r2 = 0.999 in a wide concentration range (0.1-1000 µgmL-1), with good precision (RSD < 2.0%). Antimicrobial activity of α-humulene, DP and SPP oil was assessed by using agar well diffusion method against clinically important Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria and fungi. α-Humulene was found to be more active in contrast to Gram-negative bacteria while DP oil and SPP oil were exhibited maximum inhibition against fungal strains. Antioxidant activity of α-humulene, DP oil and SPP oil were determined using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl radical (DPPH) 96 well plate method, which showed antioxidant activity in the following order: standard ascorbic acid (DPPH FRS50 = 2.40 µg) > DP oil (DPPH FRS50 = 3.68 µg) > SPP oil (DPPH FRS50 = 12.54 µg) > and α-humulene (DPPH FRS50 = 36.19 µg).

(Thiazolyl-2-yl)hydrazones (THs) are a group of organic compounds containing both hydrazone and 1,3-thiazole pharmacophores present in many approved drugs. They have been investigated greatly in recent years due to potent anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, antituberculosis, anti-inflammatory, and antiparasitic activities. In this study, one pyridine-based and two quinoline-based, novel THs were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). The antimicrobial activity of the compounds was tested against five Gram-positive and five Gram-negative bacteria, as well as against three fungi. The antioxidant capacity of the compounds was tested in six antioxidative assays. The results showed that quinoline-based THs were more active against tested Gram-negative bacteria and fungi strains than pyridine-based compounds. All the compounds showed excellent antioxidative activity comparable to or greater than the used standards (vitamin C and Trolox). Absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) parameters were calculated in-silico. Results pointed to promising good pharmacokinetics profiles of investigated compounds, especially 2-quinoline carboxaldehyde-based compound, which can be a lead drug candidate.

Present study deals with the synthesis of the p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene diamide derivative as ligand (L) and its Fe3+ complex, followed by its characterization using TLC and FT-IR, while UV-Vis and Job’s plot study were performed for complex formation. Antimicrobial activity of the derivative (L) and its metal complex was carried out by the disc diffusion method against bacteria (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus albus) and fungi (R. stolonifer). Different concentrations of the derivative (L) (6, 3, 1.5, 0.75, and 0.37 μg/mL) and its Fe3+ complex were prepared, and Mueller–Hinton agar was used as the medium for the growth of microorganisms. Six successive dilutions of the derivative (L) and Fe3+ complex were used against microorganisms. Two successive dilutions (6 and 3 μg/mL) of the derivative (L) showed antibacterial action against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. In addition, three successive dilutions (6, 3, and 1.5 μg/mL) of the derivative (L) showed antifungal activity. However, all of six dilutions of the Fe3+ complex showed antimicrobial activity. Derivative (L) showed 3 and 1.5 μg/mL minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) against bacteria and fungi, respectively. On the contrary, its Fe3+ complex showed 0.37 μg/mL value of MIC against bacteria and fungi. Hence, Fe3+ complex of the derivative (L) was found to be a more effective antimicrobial agent against selected bacteria and fungi than the diamide derivative (L).

A series of carbohydrate-linked 1,2,3-triazole derivatives were synthesized in good yields from glucofuranose and allofuranose diacetonides using as key step a three-component 1,3-dipolar azide–alkyne cycloaddition catalysed by a Cu–Al mixed oxide. In this multi-component reaction, Cu–Al mixed oxide/sodium ascorbate system serves as a highly reactive, recyclable and efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the regioselective synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles. The reported protocol has significant advantages over classical CuI/ N , N -diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) or CuSO 4 /sodium ascorbate conditions in terms of efficiency and reduced synthetic complexity. In addition, the selective deprotection of synthesized di- O -isopropylidene derivatives was also carried out leading to the corresponding mono- O -isopropylidene products in moderate yields. Some of the synthesized triazole glycoconjugates were tested for their in vitro antimicrobial activity using the disc diffusion method against Gram-positive bacteria ( Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis ), Gram-negative bacteria ( Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ), as well as fungus ( Aspergillus niger ) and yeast ( Candida utilis ). The results revealed that these compounds exhibit moderate to good antimicrobial activity mainly against Gram-negative bacteria.

Six new coordination compounds of Ni(II), Pd(II) and Cr(III) with chlorhexidine, 1,1?-hexamethylenebis[5-(4-chlorophenyl)biguanide], were prepared, characterized and examined for their potential as antimicrobial agents, as well as for their antioxidant activity. The metal complexes correspond to the formulas: [Ni(CHX)]Cl2?2H2O, [Ni(CHX)]Br2?2H2O, [Ni(CHX)](CH3COO)2?C2H5OH, [Pd(CHX)][PdCl4]?2H2O, [Pd(CHX)](CH3COO)2 and [Cr(CHX)Cl2](CH3COO), where CHX = chlorhexidine. Investigations on the in vitro antimicrobial activity of the complexes indicated that all have high activity against the tested bacteria, but are less active against fungi. Among the six complexes, those of Pd(II) showed the highest antibacterial activity, [Pd(CHX)][PdCl4]?2H2O being more active against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria than chlorhexidine diacetate. The antioxidant activity of the metal complexes was investigated by photochemiluminescence and the results showed that the palladium( II) complexes have high antioxidant activities.

Antioxidant And Antimicrobial Activity

Ethanolic extracts of Pergularia tomentosa L. were used for the relative analysis of antioxidant and antimicrobial activity against two types of Gram-negative bacteria. (Escherichia coli G (-) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa G (-)) and a gram positive (Staphylococus aureus G (+)). Maximum activity was recorded against Escherichia coli, with a maximum inhibition diameter of 23mm using the disk diffusion method. In addition, the results revealed a higher bacterial activity against Escherichia coli with an inhibition diameter of 23mm compared to standard antibiotics Ampicillin/Nystatin with an inhibition diameter of 11.75mm. The study of the antioxidant activity by the DPPH and FRAP methods showed that vitamin C is the most active with an IC50 equal to 0.010 g/ml, followed by the crude extract, with a value of 0.012 g/ml and finally Tocopherol (VE) which seems to be the least effective with an IC50 of 0.015 g/ml. The results obtained in the present study suggest that Pergularia tomentosa L. can be used in the treatment of diseases caused by the organisms tested. Further chemical and pharmacological investigations can be carried out to isolate and identify the chemical constituents in selected plants responsible for antimicrobial activity.
