Abstract A homologous series of (3-alkoxymethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propan-1-ones was prepared by the reaction of (3-chloromethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propan-1-ones with the corresponding alcohols (methanol – decan-1-ol, propan-2-ol, 2-methylpropan-1-ol, 3-methylbutan-1-ol, cyclopentanol, benzylalcohol) in the presence of sodium hydrogen carbonate. The composition of the synthesised compounds was elucidated by IR, UV and 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra. Selected compounds were tested against human pathogens: gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus (CNCTC Mau 29/58), gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli (CNCTC 377/79) and yeast Candida albicans (CCM 8186). Their antimicrobial activities were expressed as minimum inhibitory concentrations. Antioxidant activity was determined using DPPH and ABTS.+ methods. It could be shown that both biological activities, antimicrobial and antioxidant, were lower in comparison with the (2RS)-bis [3-(4-acetyl-2-propoxymethyl)phenoxy-2-hydroxypropyl]isopropylammonium fumarate type of beta blockers.

<p>A series of novel thiazolidinedione analogues (TZD) were designed and synthesized potent inhibitors of HBV capsid assembly. The synthesis of thiazolidine-2,4-dione derivatives (4a–4o), starting from the condensation of 5-(ethoxymethylene)thiazolidine-2,4-dione (1) with various secondary amines (3) derived from biologically active compounds. The newly synthesized TZD analogues 4a-4o were characterized by <sup>1</sup>H NMR, <sup>13</sup>C NMR, and MS and evaluated for their anti-HBV activity. Most of the compounds inhibited the expression of viral antigens at low concentration. Six compounds, 4g, 4h, 4l, 4m, 4n, and 4o, demonstrated potent inhibition of HBV DNA replication at submicromolar range.

Ceratonia siliqua (Carob) is an evergreen Mediterranean tree, and carob pods are potentially nutritive and have medicinal value. The present study was carried out to estimate the possible biological activities of phytochemical-characterized carob pod aqueous extract (CPAE). The phytochemical contents of CPAE were determined by using colorimetric methods and HPLC. In addition, the free radical scavenging properties and anti-diabetic, anti-hemolytic, and antimicrobial activities were estimated by using standardized in vitro protocols. The phytochemical analysis revealed that CPAE was rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, and alkaloids, where it contained a significant amount of gallic acid, catechin, and protocatechuic acid. Furthermore, CPAE exhibited strong antioxidant activity where it prevented the formation of 2, 2-Diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl, hydroxyl, and nitric oxide free radicals. Additionally, it had a potent inhibitory effect against digestive enzymes (amylase, maltase, sucrase, and lactase). Moreover, CPAE exhibited anti-Staph aureus, anti-Escherichia coli, anti-Candida albicans, and anti-herpes simplex type I virus (HSV-I). Finally, CPAE protected the erythrocyte membrane from hypotonic solution-induced hemolysis. Altogether, CPAE could be regarded as an interesting source of biologically active antioxidant, anti-diabetic, and antimicrobial preparation for a potential application in pharmaceutical and food supplement fields.

A new coumarin-1,2,3-triazole diad was designed and synthesized by Pechmann-Duisberg reaction and click chemistry. The three-step synthetic route to the target compound afforded an overall yield of 56%. The structures of the synthesized compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR and mass spectrum. The click chemistry provided an ideal approach for synthesis under mild conditions of coumarin-1,2,3-triazole diads which may exhibit excellent biological activities such as antitubercular activity.

The synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of new axially ligated indium(III) porphyrin complexes were reported. Chloroindium(III) porphyrin (TPPIn-Cl) was obtained in good yield by treating the corresponding free base with indium trichloride. The action of the different phenols on chloroderivatives (TPPIn-Cl) led to the corresponding phenolato complexes (TPPIn-X). These derivatives were characterized on the basis of mass spectrometry,1H-NMR, IR, and UV-visible data. The separation and isolation of these derivatives have been achieved through chromatography. The spectral properties of free base porphyrin and its corresponding metallated and axially ligated indium(III) porphyrin compounds were compared with each other. A detailed analysis of UV-Vis,1H-NMR, and IR suggested the transformation from free base porphyrin to indium(III) porphyrin. Besides,13C-NMR and fluorescence spectra were also reported and interpreted. The stability of these derivatives has also been studied through thermogravimetry. The complexes were also screened for anticancerous activities. Among all the complexes, 4-MePhO-InTPP shows highest anticancerous activity. The title complexe, TPPIn-X (where X = different phenolates), represents a five-coordinate indium(III) porphyrin complex in a square-pyramidal geometry with the phenolate anion as the axial ligand.

Then, the thiazole moieties of the target materials <strong>5a–e</strong> were obtained in high yields (71–93%) using the Hantzsch reaction utilizing thiosemicarbazone derivatives <strong>3a–e</strong> with ethyl-2-chloroacetoacetic ester. The substituted nitrile derivatives <strong>7a–e</strong> were obtained in moderate to high yield (58–84%) from the reaction of compounds <strong>5a–e</strong> with chloroacetonitrile by the nucleophilic aliphatic substitution reaction in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate. Finally, substituted 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole compounds <strong>9a–e</strong> were obtained in moderate to good yields (51–62%) from the reaction of thiosemicarbazide with substituted nitrile derivatives <strong>7a–e</strong>. As a result, compounds that all share a high disposition for biological activities were obtained.

Nowadays, unlimited use of antibiotics and preservatives have become a big concern regarding the human health which turn the interest of biotech industries into their research on biologically active molecules from probiotic microbes, since they are nontoxic and suitable for many safer applications. On this background, the present investigation focused on the characterization of a bacteriocin from a Lactobacillus strain. The characterization of a bacteriocin was done using a Lactiplantibacillus plantarum MDP 5 isolated from the local markets of Puducherry and production was performed under standardized cultural conditions. The study on the maximum recovery of bacteriocin using ammonium sulphate precipitation method revealed that the 60% saturation rate evidenced highest activity of 6500 AU/ml with 4.113g/L dry weight followed by the purification was done with RP-HPLC method using C18 column. The purified bacteriocin revealed a novel molecular weight of 22 kDa with the help of SDS-PAGE which has not been reported from Lactobacillus species. Further, the purified bacteriocin evidenced appreciable antimicrobial activities against all the tested human bacterial pathogens of this study. The highest antimicrobial activity was recorded against Escherichia coli MTCC 443 followed by Staphylococcus aureus MTCC 96, Vibrio parahemolyticus MTCC 451, Enterococcus faecalis MTCC 9845, Pseudomonas aeruginosa MTCC 741 and Klebsiella pneumoniae MTCC 109 in the concentrations of 8AU/ml, 16AU/ml, 32AU/ml, 64AU/ml, 256AU/ml and 512AU/ml, respectively. From the overall observation, this study explored a novel bacteriocin purified from a probiotic bacterium represented potential antimicrobial activities against many human pathogens which suggesting its possible use for the safe therapeutic applications.
