The objective of our study is to use the essential oil from the leaves of the plant Eucalyptus camaldulensis, which has been extracted by the hydrodistillation method as pathogenic biobactericides, biofungicides and tested the phytotoxicity potential of essential oils of Eucalyptus camaldulensis, on the germination of three species of cereal (common wheat, barley and oats). The efficacy of the essential oil of Eucalyptus camaldulensis for different concentrations of 5, 2.5, 1.25 μl on four bacterial strains (namely Staphylococcus vitulinus, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus blanc, Enterobacter cloacae) and at concentrations of 60, 120, 240 μl on two fungal strains (Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium colmorum) is estimated by determining the rate of inhibition of the growth of bacteria and fungus tested. Our study (leaves appear) proved that the essential oil of Eucalyptus camaldulensis has a low activity against bacterial strains in all different concentrations, in which inhibition diameters do not exceed 5 mm. However, a good antifungal effect was manifested by what it showed a minimal inhibitory concentration (CMI) of 60 μl. Our results indicate that the extracts studied show good antibacterial and antifungal activities. In addition, the phytotoxicity test shows that the essential oil of Eucalyptus camaldulensis at a concentration of 50 μl shows a low toxicity rate on the germination of all the varieties of cereals studied: barley (Hordeum vulgare (Saida 183)), oats (Avena sativa L. subsp. Sativa (sonar)), and common wheat (Triticum aestivum L. var. HD1220 (Sersou)). Therefore, all of these results obtained in vitro only constitute an outline for scientific research of natural substances for biological control.

This study was carried out to regioselective myristoylation of methyl α-D-glucopyranoside (1) using the direct acylation method gave the corresponding methyl 6-O-myristoyl-α-D-glucopyranoside (2) in fair yield. A number of 2,3,4-tri-O-acyl derivatives (3-15) of this 6-O-substitution product using a wide variety of acylating agents were also prepared in order to obtain newer derivatives of synthetic and biological importance. The reaction conditions are reasonably simple and yields were very good. The structures of the title compounds (2-15) were established by using analytical, physicochemical techniques and spectroscopic data (IR and 1H-NMR). All the synthesized compounds were employed as test chemicals for in vitro antimicrobial functionality test against Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Gram-negative Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria and plant pathogenic fungi Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans. For comparative studies, antimicrobial activity of standard antibiotics, Ampicillin and Nystatin were also carried out against these microorganisms. The study revealed that the tested samples exhibited moderate to good antibacterial and antifungal activities. It was also observed that the test substances were more effective against fungal phytopathogens than those of the human bacterial strains. Encouragingly, a number of tested chemicals showed nearest antibacterial and antifungal activities with the standard antibiotics employed.

Plants are considered to be an excellent source of new compounds with antibiotic activity. Carlina acaulis L. is a medicinal plant whose essential oil (EO) is mainly characterized by the polyacetylene carlina oxide, which has antimicrobial properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial and antifungal activities of C. acaulis EO, carlina oxide, and nanoemulsion (NE) containing the EO. The EO was obtained through plant roots hydrodistillation, and carlina oxide was purified from it through silica gel column chromatography. The NE containing C. acaulis EO was prepared with the high-pressure homogenization method, and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined against several bacterial and fungal strains for all the C. acaulis-derived products. The latter resulted in activity active versus all the screened Gram-positive bacterial strains and also on all the fungal strains with low MIC values. For yeast, the EO and carlina oxide showed good MIC values. The EO-NE demonstrated a better activity than the pure EO on all the tested bacterial and fungal strains. The results suggest that C. acaulis-derived products could be potential candidates for the development of natural antibacterial and antifungal agents.

Aromatic plants can interfere in the Mediterranean ecosystem, mainly by the introduction in the environment of volatile compounds. For this reason, we studied the chemical composition and the possible phytotoxic and antimicrobial activities of the essential oil extracted from leaves of Tunisian Artemisia herba-alba Asso. The chemical composition of the essential oil, obtained by hydrodistillation, was analyzed by GC and GC-MS. In all, 24 compounds were identified. The main components were camphor (39.1.%), chrysanthenone (15.0%) and cis-thujone (7.8%). The essential oil was evaluated for its in vitro phytotoxic activity against germination and initial radical growth of Raphanus sativus L., Lepidium sativum L., Sinapis arvensis L., Triticum durum L. and Phalaris canariensis L. seeds. The radicle elongation of the five seeds was affected to different extents by the oil, while germination was not affected. The oil, when tested against eight selected bacterial strains, showed low antimicrobial activity. The chemical composition of the oil of A. herba-alba can help in the chemosystematics of this complex genus. However, the recorded biological activities seem to be neither ecologically nor medicinally significant.

Resistance of many pathogens to available drugs is a global challenge and is leading to growing interest in natural alternative products. In this study, chemical composition and in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities of the essential oil from Salvia mirzayanii were investigated. The chemical constituents of essential oil from S mirzayanii were analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The antimicrobial activity was determined by broth microdilution. The main identified compounds were 1,8-cineole (41.2 ± 1.3%), linalool acetate (11.0 ± 0.5%), and α-terpinyl acetate (6.0 ± 0.4%) (mL of essential oil/g of plant material). The MIC95 were 0.03 to 0.5 µL/mL and 16 to 128 µL/mL for gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, respectively. These results indicated that Salvia mirzayanii essential oil significantly inhibited the growth of standard and clinically isolated tested yeasts by MIC50 0.03 to 1 µL/mL. Potent antibacterial and antifungal activities of Salvia mirzayanii essential oil may be considered in future study, particularly against antibiotic-resistant cases.

A series of sixteen 1-(4-arylthiazol-2-yl)-1?-(aryl/heteroaryl)-3,3?-dimethyl-[ 4,5?-bi-1H-pyrazol]-5-ols (7a?p) was synthesized starting from dehydroacetic acid (DHA, 1) via the stepwise formation of thiosemicarbazone (2), 3-(1-(2-(4-arylthiazol-2-yl)hydrazono)ethyl)-4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran- -2-ones (4a?d) and 1-(1-(4-arylthiazol-2-yl)-5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol- -4-yl)butane-1,3-diones (5a?d) in high yields. The in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities of the synthesized bipyrazoles 7a?p were investigated against two Gram-positive bacterial strains, viz. Bacillus subtilis (MTCC 441) and Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC 7443), one Gram-negative bacterial strain, viz. Escherichia coli (MTCC 42), and two fungal strains, viz. Candida albicans (MTCC 183) and Aspergillus niger (MTCC 282). The compounds 7a and 7e were found to exhibit better inhibitory activity against A. niger than the reference fluconazole. Moreover, the antifungal activities of the title compounds were more prolific than their antibacterial activities. Furthermore, in order to study binding interactions, docking simulations of compounds 7a, 7m and 7o were performed into the active site of S. aureus 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoyl- -CoA synthase. Keywords: bipyrazoles; antibacterial; antifungal; docking simulations.
