The crude methanol extract of Jatropha curcas leaves exhibited activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Mycobacterium phlei, Candida albicans, and Trichophyton mentagrophytes but was inactive against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In a bioassay-directed fractionation, two new phorbins were isolated and analysed by spectroscopic methods. Isolate 1 was characterized as an analogue of pheophytin b with a phytyl moiety containing three double bonds which are at positions P2/P3, P6/P7, and P10/P11. Compound 2 was characterized as methyl pheophorbide a with 132-OH and 17- and 171-CH3 moieties. It is active against Serratia marcescens.

Twelve new organotin(IV) complexes of the type RnSnLm [where n = 3, m = 1, R = CH3 or C6H5 ; n = 2, m = 2, R = C6H5 or C4H9 ; L = anion of Schiff bases derived from the condensation of 2-amino-5-(o -anisyl)-l,3,4-thiadiazole with salicylaldehyde (HL-1), 2- hydroxynaphthaldehyde (HL-2) and 2-hydroxyacetophenone (HL-3)] have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductances, electronic, infrared, far-infrared, H1 NMR and S119n Mössbauer spectral studies. Thermal studies of two complexes, viz., Ph3Sn (L-1) and Ph2Sn(L-2)2 have been carried out in the temperature range 25-1000∘C using TG, DTG and DTA techniques. All these complexes decompose gradually with the formation of SnO2 as an end product. In vitro antimicrobial activity of the Schiff bases and their complexes has also been determined against Streptococcus faecalis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus Penicillin resistance (2500 units), Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, Sporotrichum schenckii, Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Aspergillus fumigatus. The Schiff bases (HL-1), (HL-2) and the organotin(IV) compounds have also been tested against various important herbicidal, fungicidal, insecticidal species and also for parasitological activity against freeliving nematode.

The antimicrobial effect of the ZnO nanoparticles dispersed in polyurethane varnishes was investigated. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated against three bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and one strain fungi (Sacharomyces cerevisiae) by the 'pour-plate' test. It was shown that the ZnO nanoparticles efficiently inhibit growth of the colonies of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but their activity against Escherichia coli was found to be questionable suggesting more detailed research.

It was first conducted testing on antimicrobial activity of Galega orientalis (La) on the growth pure cultural of bacteria gram positive (Micrococcus luteus), gram negative (Escherichia coli XL1, DH5) and yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae W303). The material for the study was dried vegetative mass Galega orientalis (Lam) in the phase of budding and early flowering. In experiment used medium «Endo» for gram negative, medium LB for gram positive and gram negative, and suslo agar for yeasts. As a result of the experiment was revealed that 20% concentration of aqueous extract of this plant had inhibitory effects on the growth of pure cultures of bacteria and yeast. Antimicrobial effect of this drug on the growth of gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli XL1, DH5) were within 20.0–30.0% (P < 0.001), gram-positive bacteria (M. Luteus) – 12.0% (P < 0.05) and yeast (S. cerevisiae W303) – 30.5% (P < 0.01) compared with control. It should be noted that in all cases the addition of the drug Galega orientalis (La) did not alter the morphology of colonies (colony size) test strains. The questions of search the new antimicrobial agents, include natural origin, is very actual during last years. Increasing microbiological pure of eating products, feed grinders, veterinarian preparations are one of the urgent task of Scientifics and industrials. It has proved the influence of different concentrations of aqueous extract of this culture on the growth of pure cultures of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and yeast. Install antimicrobial influence 20–30% concentrations of preparation on the bacteries growth (Escherichia coli XL1, DH5). Bacterial action of preparation on the bacteries (Micrococcus luteus) and yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae W303) were lower. It was described the prospects for further investigation of this problem. It has proved possible relationship between the antimicrobial activity of the extract of this plant and bloating of the rumen in ruminants.

Synthesis of pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid was progressed via two different protocols, one of which is solid state. Pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid was converted into different derivatives such as ester, urea, amide and nitrile. The amide compound was converted to nitrile using SOCl2 and DMF. Solid state heating of carboxylic acid gave decarboxylated product. Cyclization of tetra-substituted pyrazole with hydrazines resulted in pyrazolopyridazinones. The antimicrobial activities of the synthesized pyrazole derivatives against Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were evaluated. One of the pyrazole derivatives which possess nitro group showed antimicrobial activity in only B. cereus, a Gram-positive bacteria, with an MIC of 128 μg/mL.

DL-S-Trifluoromethylhomocysteine was tested for its effect on the growth of a wide variety of microorganisms. The compound, trifluoromethylhomocysteine, markedly inhibited growth of Mycobacterium smegmatis, Mycobacterium phlei, Candida lipolytica, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Geotrichum candidum, and to a lesser extent, Candida albicans and Escherichia coli. In M. smegmatis, glutamine, methionine, norleucine, norvaline, and certain natural products reversed this antagonism. Utilization of DL-methionine by Leuconostoc mesenteroides, a culture which requires preformed methionine, was not inhibited by trifluoromethylhomocysteine. The compound was also inactive as a replacement for methionine in growth of L. mesenteroides.
