The electrochemical behavior of the complexation between copper chloride salt and succinic hydrazide can be explained using cyclic voltammetric measurements. The complex is formed through the interaction with nitrogen and hydroxyl group or carbonyl group of succinic hydrazides. This interaction can be observed by decreasing in the height peak of current and measuring the (anodic/cathodic) shift of the potentials. All the solvation and thermodynamic parameters for the interaction of copper ions with succinic hydrazide as stability constant, Gibbs free energies, enthalpies and entropies of interaction were calculated. Finally, the activity of the formed complex was compared with the succinic hydrazide by comparing their effects on different types of gram-negative bacteria and fungi indicating high activity of the formed complex and its ability to be used in different medical applications.

Cyclic voltammetric measurements of Cu (II) and Ni (II) phthalocyanines with four 16-membered diazadithia macrocycles (1 and 2) and pentanuclear Ni (II) phthalocyanine bearing four Cu (II) ions in diazadithia macrocycles at the peripheral positions (3) have been carried out on platinum in DMSO and in aqueous medium 3 showed strong adsorption properties in DMSO and especially in aqueous medium, possibly as a result of the interaction between the copper ions in the four macrocycles and the platinum working electrode. Interestingly, the oxidation peak of 3 was split into two waves in aqueous medium. This behaviour is discussed in terms of disaggregation of the mixed valence species produced by the oxidation of aggregated species. A mechanism for both the oxidation of the complex and the splitting of the oxidation peak into two waves is suggested.

The nano-CuCl2.2H2O salt was prepared by the ball milling method. The association parameters for bulk and nano-CuCl2 salts in H2O are estimated at different temperatures using the conductivity method by applying the Fuoss–Shedlovsky equation and it was higher for nano-CuCl2 than bulk CuCl2 salt. The interaction between the cation (Cu2+) and ligand (ceftriaxone) in H2O was determined also by the conductometric method. Two stoichiometric complexes 1/2 and 1/1 (M/L) are estimated and follow the order Kf (1/1) > Kf (1 : 2) and ∆Gf (1/1) > ∆Gf (1/2) for (M : L) (in negative values) indicate the favorable of formation of (1/1) complex compared to the (1 : 2) complex. The Gibbs free energies change was increased in negative signs with increasing the temperature. The antimicrobial activities of CFT, bulk Cu-CFT complex, and nano-Cu-CFT complex were studied on LB agar by the disc diffusion technique against clinical isolates of gram-negative bacteria (Klebsiella pneumonia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Fungi (Candida albicans). It was observed that (CFT) has a higher zone of inhibition and antibacterial activity than that of bulk and nano-Cu-CFT complexes in Klebsiella pneumonia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (gram-negative bacteria). The nano-Cu-CFT complex showed a higher clear zone of inhibition and antifungal activity against candida than bulk Cu-CFT complex while the absence of the inhibition zone in CFT, so nano-Cu-CFT complex, can be used as an antifungal drug.

Increased Susceptibility

Keratitis and conjunctivitis (infections of the cornea or conjunctiva) are ocular infections caused by various bacteria, fungi, viruses or parasites; bacteria, however, are usually prominent. Systemic conditions such as alcoholism, diabetes, debilitating disease, AIDS and immunosuppressive therapy can lead to increased susceptibility but trauma and contact lens use are very important factors. Gram-negative bacteria are most frequently cultured in these situations and Pseudomonas aeruginosa is most usually isolated from culture-positive ulcers of patients using contact lenses. Smears for staining can be obtained with a special swab or spatula and Gram staining frequently guides choice of a therapeutic rinse prior to the report of the culture results upon which specific antibiotic therapy is based. In some cases staining of the direct smear may be diagnostic in situations where the culture will not grow. In these cases different types of stains occasionally assist in guiding therapy.

Epoxidation Of Olefins

Two new dinuclear nickel(ll) compounds of formula [Nill2(μ-L1)2](CIO4)2·MeCN (1·MeCN) and [NiII2(μ-L2)2](CIO4)2 (2) where HL1 and HL2 stand for 3-(2-(dimethylamino)ethylimino)butan-2-one oxime and 1-(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl-imino)-1-phenylpropan-2-one oxime respectively, have been synthesised. Single crystal X-ray analyses of the complexes reveal that the nickel(ll) ions are in square-planar N3O environments and form six-membered (NiNO)2 metallacycles. Cyclic voltammetric measurements of 1·MeCN and 2 in MeCN solution show quasirreversible one-electron oxidations at E1/2 = 0.566 V and 0.603 V ( vs Fc+/Fc), respectively, attributed to NiIIINiII/NiII2 redox couples. Additional reversible NiIII2/NiIIINiII redox responses were observed at relatively higher potential near E1/2 = 0.832 V and 0.850 V ( vs Fc+/Fc), respectively, for 1·MeCN and 2. Complexes 1·MeCN and 2 display intense charge-transfer bands at ∼390 and ∼345 nm in the visible region. Chemical oxidation of complex 1·MeCN by sodium hexachloroiridate(IV) hexahydrate generates red Ni2III species with characteristic new bands at ∼520 and 427 nm in the visible region as well as the characteristic EPR signals at 77 K with g⊥ > gII. Similar phenomena were observed for complex 2 upon chemical oxidation. The dinickel(ll) complexes are catalytically active for epoxidation of olefins using iodosylbenzene as the terminal oxidant.

Abstract Bacteria and fungi are both used in biological seed treatments. While all have potential uses, some organisms are more widely and successfully used than others. Shelf life is an important consideration. For this reason, organisms that lack cell walls are more difficult to use than ones with long-lasting spores. Bacillus and Trichoderma are both widely effective, have good shelf life, and are frequently used. However, Rhizobiacae lack cell walls, which is a limitation; they are widely used because their symbiosis with legumes facilitates nitrogen fixation which is an important factor that provides economic, agricultural and environmental sustainability. For all organisms, proper formulation is critical for success; this is especially true for Rhizobiacae and other gram-negative bacteria. There are several specialized processes to deliver microbial agents or to enhance their biological activity, such as solid matrix priming and hydroseeding. Biorational chemicals derived from microorganisms are also frequently used. Both living organisms and biorationals provide benefits to plant agriculture. They can control diseases and increase resistance to abiotic stresses such as drought, temperature, salt, and flooding. They also can enhance mineral nutrition and photosynthesis. For these applications, the most effective ones colonize roots internally and provide season-long benefits. These endophytes induce systemic changes in plants’ gene expression and encoding of proteins.

Substituted-6-methyl-1-thioxo-1,2-dihydro-3H-furo[3,2-g]pyrimido[1,6-a]quinazolin-3-ones (5a,b) were synthesized from condensation of visnagenone (2a) or khellinone (2b) with 6-amino-thiouracil (3) in dimethylformamide or refluxing of (4a) or (4b) in dimethylformamide. Hence, compounds (5a,b) were used as the starting materials for preparing many new heterocyclic compounds such as; furo[3,2-g]pyrimido[1,6-a]quinazoline (6a,b), furo[3,2-g]thiazolo[2′,3′:2,3]pyrimido[1,6-a]quinazolinone (7a,b), substituted-benzylidene-furo[3,2-g]thiazolo[2′,3′:2,3]pyrimido[1,6-a]quinazoline-3,5-dione (8a–f), 3-oxo-furo[3,2-g]pyrimido[1,6-a]quinazoline-pentane-2,4-dione (9a,b), 1-(pyrazole)-furo[3,2-g]pyrimido[1,6-a]quinazolinone (10a,b), 2-(oxo or thioxo)-pyrimidine-furo[3,2-g]pyrimido[1,6-a]quinazolinone (11a–d), 1-(methylthio)-furo[3,2-g]pyrimido[1,6-a]quinazolinone (12a,b), 1-(methyl-sulfonyl)-furo[3,2-g]pyrimido[1,6-a]quinazolinone (13a,b) and 6-methyl-1-((piperazine) or morpholino)-3H-furo[3,2-g]pyrimido[1,6-a]quinazolin-3-one (14a–d). The structures of the prepared compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectral data (IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, MS) and elemental analysis. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated for the synthesized compounds against Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria and fungi. The new compounds, furothiazolo pyrimido quinazolines 8a–f and 11a–d displayed results excellent for growth inhibition of bacteria and fungi.

Novel binuclear Co(II) complexeswithN-functionalized cyclam N,N?,N",N???-tetrakis( 2-pyridylmethyl)tetraazacyclotetradecane (tpmc) and one of the aromatic monoor dicarboxylato ligands (benzoate, phthalate or isophthalate ions) were prepared. They were analyzed and studied by elemental analyses (C, H, N), electrical conductivities, VIS and IR spectroscopy andmagnetic as well as cyclic voltammetric measurements. In [Co2(C6H5COO)2tpmc]ClO4)2.3H2O, the benzoate ligands are most probably coordinated as chelates in the trans-position to each Co(II) and the macrocycle adopts a chair conformation. In the complexes [Co2(Y)tpmc]ClO4)2.zH2O, (Y = phthalate or i-phthalate dianizon, z = 2; 4) it is proposed that the isomeric dicarboxylates are bonded combined as bridges and chelates. The composition and the assumed geometries of the complexes are compared with the, earlier reported, corresponding Cu(II) complexes. Cyclic voltammetry measurements showed that the compounds are electrochemically stable.

(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.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are host-encoded antibiotics that combat invading microorganisms. These short, cationic peptides have been implicated in many biological processes, primarily involving innate immunity. In vitro studies have shown AMPs kill bacteria and fungi at physiological concentrations, but little validation has been done in vivo. We utilized CRISPR gene editing to delete most known immune-inducible AMPs of Drosophila, namely: 4 Attacins, 2 Diptericins, Drosocin, Drosomycin, Metchnikowin and Defensin. Using individual and multiple knockouts, including flies lacking these ten AMP genes, we characterize the in vivo function of individual and groups of AMPs against diverse bacterial and fungal pathogens. We found that Drosophila AMPs act primarily against Gram-negative bacteria and fungi, contributing either additively or synergistically. We also describe remarkable specificity wherein certain AMPs contribute the bulk of microbicidal activity against specific pathogens, providing functional demonstrations of highly specific AMP-pathogen interactions in an in vivo setting.
