The in vitro antimicrobial activity of Hypericum annulatum and Hypericum elegans essential oils was evaluated against a panel of standardized bacteria and fungi using broth microdilution assay. Both essential oils showed antimicrobial activity against all the tested microorganisms. Hypericum annulatum essential oil showed better antibacterial than antifungal activity, being more effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli while H. elegans essential oil showed no significant difference between antibacterial and antifungal activity. Antimicrobial testing of ?-pinene, ?-pinene and ?-myrcene compounds was also performed. All the compounds were active against all the tested microorganisms, however, based on the MIC, MBC and MFC values, none of these compounds could be thought of as the main bearer of the oils? antimicrobial activity. This is the first report regarding the antimicrobial activity of the essential oils of the two Hypericum species.

In this study, thein vitroantimicrobial activities of four plant essential oils (T. schimperi,E. globulus,R. officinalis, andM. Chamomilla) were evaluated against bacteria and fungi. The studies were carried out using agar diffusion method for screening the most effective essential oils and agar dilution to determine minimum inhibitory concentration of the essential oils. Results of this study revealed that essential oils ofT. schimperi,E. globulus, andR. officinaliswere active against bacteria and some fungi. The antimicrobial effect ofM. chamomillawas found to be weaker and did not show any antimicrobial activity. The minimum inhibitory concentration values ofT. schimperiwere<15.75 mg/mL for most of the bacteria and fungi used in this study. The minimum inhibitory concentration values of the other essential oils were in the range of 15.75–36.33 mg/mL against tested bacteria. This study highlighted the antimicrobial activity of the essential oil ofE. globulus,M. chamomilla,T. Schimperi, andR. officinalis. The results indicated thatT. schimperihave shown strong antimicrobial activity which could be potential candidates for preparation of antimicrobial drug preparation.

Essential oils were hydrodistilled from six Zieria species, including two previously not investigated: Z. floydii and Z. odorifera subsp. williamsii, and characterized using GC-MS. Additionally, solvent extracts of leaf material from five of these species were prepared using n-hexane, acetone and methanol as solvents, respectively. These solvent extracts were examined, along with essential oils, for antibacterial activity using micro titer plate broth dilution assays. Antifungal activity against pathogenic Trichophyton species responsible for dermal infections such as Tinea and Kangaroo Pox (uncommon), was examined using a similar method. Results of essential oil characterizations are relatively consistent with those previously reported. Interestingly, the essential oil composition of Z. floydii showed car-3-en-2-one at a concentration of 71%, similar to that observed in a previous study for Z. furfuracea and Z. granulata, thus complementing the observations of A.G. Floyd that Z. floydii is morphologically allied with these two species (CANB 598758). Antimicrobial assays demonstrated relatively high antibacterial and antifungal activity, using both essential oils and solvent extracts. This is particularly true for the n-hexane extract from Z. smithii. We therefore conclude that Zieria species may be a useful source for the development of antiseptic, cosmaceutical and/or topical nutraceutical products. In addition, they may well serve as a source of further novel, purified compounds providing scaffolds for pharmaceutical development in the future.

Essential oils of the branches and leaves, flowers, and fruits of Micromelum hirsutum (Rutaceae) collected in Vietnam were investigated. Essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC and GC/MS techniques. Essential oils yields were 0.07%, 0.125%, and 0.22% (w/w), respectively, and in each oil 43, 49, and 37 components were identified, comprising 86.0, 86.3, and 96.4% of the total amount, respectively. All the essential oils were screened for antimicrobial activity, showing positive results against various strains of bacteria and fungi. The essential oil of the flowers was also found to have cytotoxic effect against three cancer lines by in vitro assay.

The reaction of N1-(un)substituted 4-aminosulfonamide with 6-chloropyridothienopyridazine (5) and 8-chloro-pyrimidothienopyridazine (14) gave 6-substituted aminopyridothienopyridazine (9) and 8-substituted amino-pyrimidothienopyridazine (16) respectively. All of the derivatives have been characterised by analytical and spectroscopic studies and also tested for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activity against a variety of microorganisms.

The volatile compounds of hexane and benzene extracts were studied by GC-MS analysis, as well as were investigated the composition of essential oils obtained by steam and hydrodistillation from the aerial part of Alhagi persarum Boiss. & Buhse, collected during the flowering period in the Fergana region of the Republic of Uzbekistan. As a result of the studies, 44 components were found in the hexane and benzene extracts, among them the neophytadiene (44.0%), hexahydrofarnesyl acetone (20.5%), phytol (17.1%), dihydroactinidiolide (2.0%), a-thujone (32.1%) and b-thujone (9.8%), camphor (30.5%) are dominated. In the composition of essential oils isolated by steam and hydrodistillation methods, were identified 69 and 56 compounds, respectively. The dominating components are eucalyptol (4.7% and 2.9%), a-thujone (44.0% and 35.3%) and b-thujone (17.1% and 14.3%), camphor (12.7% and 28.2%). In vitro screening for antibacterial and antifungal activity of extracts were carried out, as well as EО from Alhagi persarum. Among the samples studied, EO, obtained by steamdistillation, possesses the highest antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis (15 mm), Staphylococcus aureus (13 mm), Escherichia coli (11 mm) and Candida albicans (8 mm).

Objectives: Synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of antimicrobial activity of novel pyrimidine derivatives containing O, N, and S in the ring. Methods: Pyrimidine derivatives were prepared in three steps. In the first step, chalcones containing -NO2 functional group were synthesized using Claisen-Schmidt condensation of aromatic aldehydes with 2-acetyl pyridine/3-acetylpyridine in methanol in the presence of aqueous NaOH. In the second step, -NO2 group was reduced to -NH2 group. Resulting compounds containing NH2 functional group were reacted with different dichlorothienopyrimidines and dichlorofuropyrimidines in the presence of N,N-diisopropylethylamine to obtain pyrimidine derivatives.Antibacterial and antifungal activity of pyrimidine derivatives were studied in vitro. Results: Pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized and purified using flash column chromatography. Purity of synthesized pyrimidines was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. Pyrimidines were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectral analysis. Analytical data of synthesized pyrimidines supported the proposed structures. Significant antibacterial and antifungal activity were observed in the synthesized pyrimidine derivatives. Conclusion: Antibacterial and antifungal activity of the newly synthesized pyrimidine derivatives will definitely inspire future researchers for the preparation of new analogs.

A series of new 5H-pyridobenzazepine and pyridobenzothiepine derivatives was synthesized by Pd-catalyzed formation of C-N and C-S bonds. All synthesized compounds were tested for their in vitro antimicrobial activity. The 5H-pyridobenzazepine derivatives showed better antibacterial and antifungal activity than corresponding 5H-dipyridoazepine analogs. Among the synthesized azepines, derivative 8 displayed potent activity against tested bacteria (MIC = 39-78 ?g/mL), while azepine 12 showed promising antifungal activity (MIC = 156-313 ?g/mL). The synthesized thiepine derivatives exhibited weak antibacterial activity, but showed pronounced antifungal activity.
