A series of 3-[3-(2,4-dichloro-5-fluorophenyl)-5-(2-furyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol- 1-yl]-5-(substituted phenyl/2-thienyl)isoxazolines (4a-j) were prepared. The structures of the isoxazoline derivatives were confirmed on the bases of elemental analysis and spectral data. The compounds were screened for their in vitro antibacterial activity using gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria.

Chemical constituents of the essential oil from the leaves of Minthostachys mollis (Kunth) Griseb Vaught var. mollis collected in January 2008 at Tuñame, Trujillo State, Venezuela, were separated and identified by GCMS analysis. The essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation and thirteen components (98.5% of the sample) were identified by comparison with the Wiley GCMS library data base. The two major components were pulegone (55.2%) and trans-menthone (31.5%). The essential oil showed a significant inhibitory effect against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, especially Bacillus subtilis and Salmonella typhi (4 μg/mL).

Background:Several strategies have been reported for the synthesis of thiazole derivatives.Methods:However, many of these methods suffer from several drawbacks. Several modifications have been made to counter these problems. Here, we have synthesized a new series of 2-(2-((1HImidazol- 4-yl)methylene)hydrazinyl)-4-(4-substitutedphenyl)thiazoles without using the catalyst at room temperature.Results:The structures of synthesized compounds have been confirmed by spectral analysis, such as Mass, IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR. All synthesized compounds were screened for in vitro antibacterial activity against some gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.Conclusion:The thiazole derivatives, with a pharmacologically potent group, discussed in this article may provide valued therapeutic important in the treatment of microbial diseases, especially against bacterial and fungal infections.

Background: Fluoroquinolones are widely prescribed synthetic antimicrobial agents. Quinolones act by converting their targets, gyrase and topoisomerase IV, into toxic enzymes that fragment the bacterial chromosome; the irreversible DNA damage eventually causes the killing of bacteria. Thorough knowledge of the structure-activity relationship of quinolones is essential for the development of new drugs with improved activity against resistant strains. Methods: The compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity against 4 representing strains using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined by measuring the diameter of the inhibition zone using concentrations between 250 and 0.004 μg/mL. Results: MIC of derivatives 2, 3, and 4 showed potent antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The effective concentrations were 0.860 μg/mL or lower. MIC for compounds 5-11 were between 120 and 515 μg/mL against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, and substituted hydrazinoquinolones 7-10 showed poor antibacterial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria compared with other quinolones. Conclusion: Compounds obtained by modifications on C-7 of norfloxacin with the acetylated piperazinyl, halogen atoms, and substituted hydrazinyl showed good in vitro activity - some even better than the original compound.
