A couple of natural coumarins was identified in the seeds of two apples’ cultivars commonly known as Granny Smith and Red Delicious. The effect of the phenolic hydroxyl moieties found in these products was evaluated on the bioactivity. This evaluation included the structural alteration of these moieties into less hydrophilic ones to explore the significance of the parent moieties on the biological activity. The investigated biopotentials were antioxidant, antiproliferative, antibacterial, and antifungal effects. The antioxidant potential was investigated by detecting the ability of the natural and semisynthetic coumarins to trap the free hydroxyl and DPPH radicals. The antiproliferative potential was assessed via an MTT-depended assay versus eight cancerous-cell lines, included HeLa, SK-OV-3, AR42J, MCF-7, AB12, KYSE-30, LC540, and AMN3. The antibacterial potential was tested versus six common pathogenic bacterial strains via a well-defined disc diffusion assay. These pathogens were Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Klebsiella pneumonia, Haemophilus influenzae, Shigella dysenteriae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The antifungal potential was also screened by utilizing a similar microbiological technique versus three pathogenic fungi, involved Candida albicans, Aspergillus flavus, and Aspergillus niger. It is concluded that the investigated chemical moiety has a positive influence on the antioxidant and antiproliferative potentials of the natural derivatives, and a negative one on their antibacterial and antifungal potentials.

An attempt was made to investigate the antibacterial and antifungal activities of Petroleum ether, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform and ethyl alcohol extracts from Chaetocarpus castanocarpus against ten human pathogenic bacteria viz., Shigella dysenteriae, Salmonella typhi, S. paratyphi, Bacillus subtilis, B. cereus, B. megaterium, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Vibrio cholerae and three human pathogenic fungi viz., Aspergillus niger, A. ochraceus, and A. ustus using disc diffusion and poisoned food method respectively. The chloroform and ethyl alcohol extracts showed good antibacterial and antifungal activity against the tested organisms. The crude extract of chloroform exhibited the largest zone of inhibition (26 mm in diameter with 2000 mg/disc extract) against S. dysenteriae. In case of fungi, the highest percentage of inhibition (42.5.0% with 100 mg/ml medium) was recorded against A. ustus. The MICs were determined by broth macrodilution method. The lowest MIC (750 mg/ml) was recorded against B. megaterium towards chloroform and ethanol extract, and V. cholerae towards chloroform extract. In case of fungi, chloroform and ethanol extract exhibited the lowest MIC (2000 mg/ml) against A. ustus, and chloroform extract against A. niger.

This study was carried out to regioselective myristoylation of methyl α-D-glucopyranoside (1) using the direct acylation method gave the corresponding methyl 6-O-myristoyl-α-D-glucopyranoside (2) in fair yield. A number of 2,3,4-tri-O-acyl derivatives (3-15) of this 6-O-substitution product using a wide variety of acylating agents were also prepared in order to obtain newer derivatives of synthetic and biological importance. The reaction conditions are reasonably simple and yields were very good. The structures of the title compounds (2-15) were established by using analytical, physicochemical techniques and spectroscopic data (IR and 1H-NMR). All the synthesized compounds were employed as test chemicals for in vitro antimicrobial functionality test against Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Gram-negative Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria and plant pathogenic fungi Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans. For comparative studies, antimicrobial activity of standard antibiotics, Ampicillin and Nystatin were also carried out against these microorganisms. The study revealed that the tested samples exhibited moderate to good antibacterial and antifungal activities. It was also observed that the test substances were more effective against fungal phytopathogens than those of the human bacterial strains. Encouragingly, a number of tested chemicals showed nearest antibacterial and antifungal activities with the standard antibiotics employed.

Aconitum spicatum is one of the deadly poisonous and highly valued medicinal plant. It is a national prioritized herb among 30 national priority herbs listed by the government of Nepal for their development, research and cultivation. The acute toxicity of the extract of this plant appeared to be directly related to the alkaloid content. The amount of total alkaloid of A. spicatum collected from Manaslu conservation area was calculated to be 1.7% by spectrophotometric method based on Dragendorff’s reagent. In-vitro evaluation of the crude extract of plant rhizomes using agar well diffusion assay against eight bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Schigella flexneri, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi, Salmonella paratyphi, Salmonella typhimurium and Klebsiella pneumonia, displayed potential antibacterial activity. The diethyl ether fraction was the most effective against all pathogenic microbes with minimum bacterial concentration value 3.125-6.25 mg/ml.

The objective of this study is to assess the fungal and antimicrobial activity of the essential oil (ET) of marjoram (Origanum majorana L.). This strategy can contribute to the sustainable development of our country. Preliminary tests performed on the essential oil of Origanum majorana showed that this oil has antibacterial activity vis-à-vis the bacterial strains (Enterococcus feacalis, Enterobacter cloaceai, Proteus microsilis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and antifungic (Fusarium sporotrichioide and Fusarium graminearum). The culture medium used was nutrient broth Muller Hinton. The interaction between the bacteria and the essential oil is expressed by a zone of inhibition with diameters of MIC indirectly expression of. And we used the PDA medium to determine the fungal activity. The extraction of the aromatic fraction (essentially oil hydrolat) of the fresh aerian part of the Origanum majorana was performed by hydrodistillation. The average essential oil yield is 0.99%. The antimicrobial and fungal study of the essential oil and hydrosol showed a high inhibitory effect on the growth of pathogens.

Nanoparticles include multiple metal oxides such as yttrium, copper, nickel, zinc, iron, and silver that have antimicrobial activity. The present work evaluates the antibacterial activity of some nanoparticles (NPs)against various pathogenic bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia and Staphylococcus aureus). Antimicrobial activity of NPs was accomplished by the mean of disk diffusion assay using dilutions of (200, 100, 50, 25, and 12.5) and the MIC and MBC of each isolate is determined. NPs shows no antibacterial activity against tested bacteria. It is highly recommended using NPs as an economical alternative antibacterial agent, especially in treating ectopic infections but with high concentration since low concentration gives no result without taking the risk of developing resistant bacterial strains as with antibiotics.
