6-Chloro-3-((2-oxo-5-phenylfuran-3(2 H)-ylidene)methyl)-4 H-chromen-4-one was utilised for the construction of N-heterocycles. The proclivity of this furanone towards some nitrogen nucleophiles, i.e. glycine, thiosemicarbazide, thiocarbohydrazide, phenylhydrazine and o-phenylenediamine, was studied. The structures of all products obtained were established on the basis of their analytical and spectral data. All synthesised compounds were screened for their in vitro antibacterial (two strains of bacteria; Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) and antifungal (two fungus strains; Aspergillus flavus and Candida albicans) activities. Some products exhibited promising antimicrobial activities.

Background: Pyrimidine ring is one of the most important heterocyclic scaffolds due to its biological benefits as antimicrobial agents via acting as competitive suppressors of dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS) enzyme, inhibiting dihydrofolate reductase or glucosamine N-phosphate synthase. Objective: The objective of this work is preparing twenty four derivatives of pyrimidine heterocycle 1a-f, 2a-f, 3a-f and 4a-f via a facile one step reaction with antimicrobial potential. Methods: Novel twenty four derivatives of pyrimidine heterocycle 1a-f, 2a-f, 3a-f and 4a-f were prepared via a facile one step reaction by treating substituted aldehydes, urea and / or thiourea and active methylene derivatives (diethyl malonate and / or ethyl cyanoacetate) using 1,4- diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) as a basic catalyst. The chemical structures of all these novel targets were proved by 1HNMR, 13CNMR, MS and elemental analyses. All the twenty four new targets 1a-f, 2a-f, 3a-f and 4a-f were assessed for their antimicrobial activity towards bacteria as Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli and against fungi represented by Aspergillus flavus and Candida albicans. Results: Most of the compounds exhibited very good antimicrobial activity, especially; compound (1c) exhibited the most activity against three types of bacteria Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus. Moreover, this derivative 1c displayed similar antifungal activity towards Candida albicans as that exhibited by amphotericin B. Conclusion: All the screened compounds 1a-f, 2a-f, 3a-f and 4a-f showed antibacterial activity with inhibition zone diameter range 6-21 mm/mg, while, regarding the antifungal activity, all the novel derivatives except 2b, 2d, 3a, 3c, 3e did not have any effect towards Aspergillus flavus and 3d did not reveal any inhibitory activity towards both fungal species.

The medicinal value of the plants is due to their chemical components that bring a definite physiological action on the human body to prevent the diseases. In this work, we investigated the antimicrobial activity of leaves’ extracts of Quercus robur L., collected from the Algerian upper highlands, on ten bacterial strains and one fungal strain known to be pathogenic. First, we performed a qualitative phytochemical analysis, and second, antimicrobial activity tests performed by agar diffusion method (disc and well) with the determination of MIC by broth macro-dilution method. Given the results, it appears that obtained macerates of Quercus robur L. were rich in bioactive phytoconstituents such as alkaloids, anthraquinones, saponins, tannins, and other components. The yield of aqueous and methanolic macerates of leaves was 8.5 ± 1.41 and 22.4 ± 4.36%, respectively. The bacterial resistance was relatively important to several antibiotics, namely, ampicillin, amoxicillin + clavulanic acid for strains of Escherichia coli and Salmonella sp. However, Staphylococcus aureus strains were resistant to fusidic acid, penicillin, and oxacillin; while Enterococcus faecalis was resistant to fusidic acid, penicillin, oxacillin, and ticarcillin. The antibacterial activity of the macerates toward tested microbial strains showed that the aqueous and methanolic macerates of the leaves were proportional to the tested concentration and active not only against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria but also on the fungal species Candida albicans. The estimated MIC for Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, and Staphylococcus aureus was in the order of 10 mg/mL, which seems more effective than toward Salmonella sp., Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans which were in the order of 30 mg/mL. These preliminary results confirm that the part of the studied plant had a very good antimicrobial activity that was proportional to the serial concentrations of the tested extracts.

The eco-friendly functionalized TiO2/polymer antifouling (AF) coating was successfully synthesized by dispersing TiO2 nanoparticles in waterborne epoxy-modified tung oil resin. The AF effectiveness of coating was evaluated toward Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus, ATCC6538), Escherichia coli ( E. coli, ATCC8739) and diatom ( Cyclotella sp., FACHB-1635). The nanoTiO2/polymer AF coating showed good antimicrobial activity both under the light and dark conditions by comparison with the pristine TiO2 nanoparticles and bulk polymer. Under light irradiation for 50 min, the AF coating showed only 8.4% and 8% survival rate for S. aureus and E. coli. In addition, The AF coatings exhibited favorable inhibition efficacy toward the growth and adhesion of Cyclotella sp., and the efficacy was enhanced with the increase of TiO2 content. It can be concluded that TiO2 nanoparticles endow the AF coatings with promoted fouling resistance properties.

In this study, the potential antimicrobial activity of plasma-activated tap water (PAW) was evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans. For this, PAW was prepared in a gliding arc plasma system using two treatment conditions: stagnant water and water stirring by a magnetic stirrer, called moving water. Subsequently, their oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), pH, electrical conductivity (σ), and total dissolved solids (TDS) were monitored in different areas of the sample divided according to the depth of the beaker. It was observed that PAW obtained in dynamic conditions showed a more uniform acidity among the evaluated areas with pH 3.53 and ORP of 215 mV. Finally, standardized suspensions of Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538), Escherichia coli (ATCC 10799), and Candida albicans (SC 5314) were treated with PAW, and the reduction of viable cells determined the antimicrobial effect. Our results indicate that the tap water, activated by plasma treatment using gliding arc, is an excellent inactivation agent in the case of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. On the other hand, no significant antimicrobial activity was achieved for Candida albicans.

Ayurvedic medicines are being used increasingly to fight or prevent common diseases. Udhara vayuhara churna is a polyherbal formulation containing Piper longum (Piperceae) Zingiber officinalis (Zingiberaceae), Elettaria cardamom (Zingiberaceae), Plumbago zeylanica (Plumbaginaceae), Carum carvi (Umbelliferae), Acorus calamus (Araceae) and Embilica officinalis (Euphorbiaceae). Methanolic and aqueous extracts of Udhara vayuhara churna were screened for their antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans. The results of antimicrobial activity of aqueous and methanolic extracts of the Udhara vayuhara churna indicated that methanolic extract inhibited the growth of one or more test pathogens than aqueous extract. Udhara vayuhara churna formulation extracts showed a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity. Phytochemical investigation revealed the presence of tannins, saponins, alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids and essential oils. This may be due to the multifunctional effect of all the seven plant ingredients of Udhara Vayuhara churn.
