Abstract. Mn(II) complexes of Schiff bases 4-((3-ethoxy-2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino)-N-(pyridin-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide (HL2) and 4-((3-ethoxy-2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino)-N-(pyrimidin-2- yl)benzenesulfonamide (HL3) were synthesized. The Schiff bases HL2 and HL3 and their complexes were characterized by analytical, conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements, infrared, ultraviolet-visible, thermal analysis, and EI mass techniques. The spectral data of the complexes have revealed the bidentate complexing nature of the Schiff base ligand through phenoxide ion and azomethine nitrogen atoms. The antibacterial activities of complexes were tested against gram-positive bacterial species Pseudomonas aeruginosa (NCIM 2036) and fungal species Aspergillus niger (NCIM 105) and Mucor sp.  (NCIM 108) by disc diffusion method. Keywords: Schiff bases; Mn(II) complex; antibacterial; antifungal.   Resumen. Los complejos de Mn(II) de las bases de Schiff 4-((3-etoxi-2-hidroxibencilideno)amino)-N-(piridin-2-il)bencenosulfonamida (HL2) y 4-((3-etoxi-2-hidroxibencilideno)amino)-N-(pirimidin-2- il)bencenosulfonamida (HL3) fueron sintetizados. Las bases de Schiff HL2 and HL3 y sus complejos fueron caracterizados por métodos analíticos, conductancia, susceptibilidad magnética, espectroscopia infrarroja y UV-vis, termogravimetría, y espectrometría de masas por impacto enectrónico. Los datos espectroscópicos obtenidos para los complejos corroboraron la coordinación bidentada de los ligantes de base de Schiff a través del ion fenóxido y el átomo de nitrógeno del grupo azometino. La actividad antibacterial de los complejos se evaluó contra cepas bacterianas gram-positivas Pseudomonas aeruginosa (NCIM 2036) y contra especies fúngicas Aspergillus niger (NCIM 105) y Mucor sp.  (NCIM 108) utilizando el método de difusión en disco.

Abstract. Benachour H, Ramdani M, Lograda T, Chalard P, Figueredo J. 2020. Chemical composition and antibacterial activities of Capparis spinosa essential oils from Algeria. Biodiversitas 21: 161-169. The essential oils of Capparis spinosa L. collected from six locations in Algeria were obtained by hydro-distillation. The chemical composition of oils was performed by GC-MS. The disc diffusion method is applied for the antibacterial activity. The extraction produced low yield (0.03%). The result of chromatographic analysis (GC/MS) leads to the identification of 33 components; palmitic acid (38.19%), nonanal-n (12.61%), cymene-2,5-dimethoxy-para (8.94%) and octacosane (5.49%) were the major components of these oils. The result of cluster analysis based on essential oils constituents showed the presence of three chemotypes,i.e., the chemotype of Nonanal-n-Cymen 2,5 dimethoxy para-Dodecanal, the chemotype of Nonanal-n-Hexadecanoic acid-tetracosane and the chemotype Tetracosane-n-pentyl furane-2-octacosane. In-vitro antimicrobial activity of caper oils against nine bacterial species showed that the oils have no activity against E. coli and have modest activities against eight other bacterial species tested; however, the desirability test shows that the oils used were not effective on the bacteria tested.

The derivatives of cinnamic acid and N-arylpiperazine show antibacterial activity. In this work the potential synergistic effect of cinnamyl derivatives of arylpiperazine in selected bacteria was investigated. The antibacterial activities of the derivatives were evaluated against Gram-positive bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus, Streptosporangium longisporum, Sarcina lutea, Micrococcus flavus, Clostridium sporogenes and Bacillus subtilis and Gram-negative bacteria: Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enteritidis and Proteus vulgaris by the disc diffusion method. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against the selected bacteria was determined for all compounds that showed activity in the disc diffusion method. The majority of the investigated compounds displayed in vitro antibacterial activity. The effect of the type and structure of the substituent on the aromatic ring on the antibacterial activity is discussed. It was found that two derivatives expressed activity toward S. longisporum and P. aeruginosa that was almost as strong as that of amikacin.

Abstract The components of the essential oils (EOs) obtained by solvent-free microwave extraction (SFME) and hydrodistillation (HD) from endemic Origanum saccatum P.H. Davis were identified by using GC/MS. The main constituents of both EOs obtained by SFME and HD, respectively, from O. saccatum were p-cymene (72.5 and 70.6%), thymol (9.32 and 8.11%), and carvacrol (7.18 and 6.36%). The EO obtained by SFME contained substantially higher amounts of oxygenated compounds and lower amounts of monoterpenes than did the EO obtained by HD. The antibacterial activities of the EOs obtained by SFME and HD were evaluated with the disc diffusion method by comparison with 10 different bacterial strains. The antibacterial activity of the EO extracted by SFME was found to be more effective than that of the EO extracted by HD against seven of the tested bacteria.

Background: Acne is a serious skin problem that affects mostly adolescents. The topical and systematic therapies are effective but could lead to several side effects and the emergence of antibacterial resistance of the acne-causing bacteria. Plant resources have been used as traditional medicine for centuries and can be the alternative therapies for acne treatment. Antioxidants are compounds that can prevent or delay the oxidation of substrates when present in low concentrations. Antioxidants are usually involved in several mechanisms of action, including the inhibition of free radical generation, enhancement of the scavenging capacity against free radicals, and reducing power. Methods: In this study, three antioxidant assays, DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP were used to evaluate the antioxidant properties of the ethanolic extracts of five plant extracts (A. bilimbi, M. nigra, O. stamineus, P. granatum, and E. longifolia). Furthermore, the study aimed to identify the most potent plant extracts and their combination which could provide better antibacterial activities against acne-causing bacteria. Ethanolic extracts of A. bilimbi, O. stamineus, M. nigra, P. granatum, and E. longifolia were prepared by the Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) technique. Their phytochemical contents were screened using several biochemical tests and GC-MS analysis. Results: The study found that only the extracts of P. granatum and O. stamineus exhibited good antioxidant activity using DPPH assay (82.37% and 81.72% μg/mL respectively) and in ABTS assay (87.25% and 88.85% μg/mL respectively); their observed FRAP values were 115.1667 ± 5.6182 and 41.3860 ± 2.4583 μg/mL, respectively. The preliminary antibacterial screening using the disc diffusion method showed that P. granatum and O. stamineus were the most potent extracts; hence, both extracts were combined at the ratios of 1:1, 1:2, and 2:1 to a total concentration of 400 mg/mL. Discussion: The antibacterial efficacy of the mixture was studied using the disc diffusion method and the MIC value was determined. Both S. aureus and S. epidermidis were sensitive to all the individual and combined extracts but C. acnes was resistant to all of them. Conclusion: The antibacterial activity of the combined extracts against S. aureus showed a synergistic effect at the ratio of 2:1 with the inhibitory zone diameter of 18.00 ± 1.00 mm and MIC value of 12.5 mg/mL; however, antagonistic effects were observed against S. epidermidis while no effect was noted against C. acnes. Therefore, all the selected plant extracts exhibited antibacterial activities against certain bacteria and their effects may be enhanced by combining the plant extracts.
