Introduction: In recent times, most of the currently available antimicrobial agents have developed resistance. Extensive pharmacological activities including bactericidal and bacteriostatic nature of flavonoids, made them as priority agents in this aspect of research study. Synthetic flavonoids such as hydroxy thiophen derivatives were considered to evaluate for antimicrobial activity in this study.   Objective: The present study involves the analysis for antimicrobial activity of thiophen substituted synthetic flavonoids. Methods: Claisen-Schmidt method of condensation fallowed by oxidative cyclization reactions from substituted hydroxyacetophenone with aromatic aldehydes were used to synthesize the various analogues of flavonoid compounds. Then these compounds after their FTIR, 1H NMR, MS spectral characterization and elemental analysis, were screened for in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activity by using disc diffusion method followed by determining their respective zone of inhibitions. Results: All the synthesized test flavonoid compounds exhibited the good antibacterial and antifungal  spectrum activity over B. subtilis, S. aureus, E. coli and P. aeurugenosa bacteria and Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger fungal microbes. However compounds such as F1, F2 and F4 showed moderately significant antibacterial activity against P. aerugenosa organism than the other test compounds and the same F1 and F2 test compounds exhibited significant antifungal activity at100µg concentration. Conclusion:  The present study demonstrated that the novel thiophen substituted flavonoids (F1, F2, F3 and F4 ) found to have promising antimicrobial and antifungal activity which needs to be confirmed by in vivo studies.

This study proposes the use of cinnamon as an antimicrobial agent with the presence of cinnamic aldehyde, which has antibacterial and antifungal activity and inhibits the production of mycotoxins. Initially, microorganisms were isolated in damaged post-harvest strawberries, isolating colonies of Botritys sp. as the main causal agent of the deterioration of these fruits. The anti-fungal ability of the cinnamon essential oil (Cinnamomum zeynalicum) was evaluated ‘in vitro’ on the development of the isolated fungus, and ‘in vivo’ on fresh fruit at different storage temperatures, times and concentrations of AE. The results obtained showed that the most effective treatments ‘in vivo’ were 250 and 500 ppm of cinnamon essential oil. On-site analyses showed fruit stability in terms of color, texture, flavor, smell, pH and acidity, especially when there is a concentration of 500 ppm of cinnamon essential oil combined with the storage of the fruit at refrigeration temperature (5ºC), this being the most effective treatment to reduce fungal rot and loss of fruit quality. Keywords: cinnamon essential oil, postharvest, strawberry, antifungal activity, preservative. Resumen Está investigación plantea el uso de la canela como un agente antimicrobiano con la presencia de aldehído cinámico el mismo que posee actividad antibacterial, antifúngica e inhibe la producción de micotoxinas. De manera inicial se asilaron microorganismos en fresa postcosecha deteriorada, aislando colonias de Botritys sp. como el principal agente causal del deterioro de estas frutas. La capacidad antifúngica del aceite esencial de canela (Cinnamomum zeynalicum) fue evaluada ‘in vitro’ sobre el desarrollo del hongo aislado e ‘in vivo’ sobre fruta fresca a diferentes temperaturas de almacenamiento, tiempos y concentraciones de AE. Los resultados obtenidos demostraron que los tratamientos más efectivos ‘in vivo’ fueron 250 y 500 ppm de aceite esencial de canela. Los análisis in situ mostraron estabilidad de los frutos en cuanto a color, textura, sabor, olor, pH y acidez sobre todo cuando se tiene una concentración de 500 ppm de aceite esencial de canela combinado con el almacenamiento de la fruta a temperatura de refrigeración (5ºC) siendo el tratamiento más efectivo para reducir la pudrición fúngica y la pérdida de la calidad de los frutos. Palabras clave: aceite esencial de canela, post cosecha, fresa, actividad antifúngica, conservante.

Background: There is a need to prevent and treat infection in newborns. One approach is administration of antimicrobial proteins and peptides (APPs) such as LL-37, a membrane-active cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide, and mannose-binding lectin (MBL), a pattern-recognition protein that binds to microbial surface polysaccharides resulting in opsonization and complement activation. Low plasma/serum levels of LL-37 and of MBL have been correlated with infection and exogenous administration of these agents may enhance host defense. Methods: The antimicrobial activity of LL-37 (15 µg/ml) or rMBL (0.5, 2 and 10 µg/ml) was tested in hirudin-anticoagulated preterm and term human cord blood (N = 12–14) against Staphylococcus aureus (SA) USA 300 (2x104 CFU/ml), Staphylococcus epidermis (SE) 1457 (2x104 CFU/ml) and Candida albicans (CA) SC5314 (1x104 CFU/ml). After incubation (1, 45, or 180 min), CFUs were enumerated by plating blood onto agar plates. Supernatants were collected for measurement of MBL via ELISA. Results: Preterm cord blood demonstrated impaired endogenous killing capacity against SA and SE compared to term blood. Addition of LL-37 strongly enhanced antimicrobial/antifungal activity vs SA, SE and CA in term blood and SE and CA in preterm blood. By contrast, rMBL showed modest fungistatic activity vs CA in a sub-analysis of term newborns with high basal MBL levels. Baseline MBL levels varied within preterm and term cohorts with no correlation to gestational age. In summary, exogenous LL-37 demonstrated significant antimicrobial activity against SA, SE and CA in term and SE and CA in preterm human blood tested in vitro. rMBL demonstrated modest antifungal activity in term cord blood of individuals with high baseline MBL levels. Conclusions: To the extent that our in vitro results predict the effects of APPs in vivo, development of APPs for prevention and treatment of infection should take into account host age as well as the target pathogen.

The in vitro antimicrobial activity of the essential oil from needles of Pinus yunnanensis Franch.var tenuifolia was investigated. The essential oil was obtained by hydro-distillation and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method. The major compound of the essential oil was α-pinene (22.542%), followed by β-caryophyllene (16.636%), 1,2,4a,5,8,8a-hexahydro-4,7-dimethyl-1-(1-methylethyl)-naphthalene (5.085%), β-cubebene (4.779%), elixene (4.442%), α-cadinol (3.528%),α-caryophyllene (3.459%) and limonene (3.428%). The antimicrobial activity of oil was evaluated by using disc diffusion and agar dilution methods, respectively. The results indicated that the essential oil held moderate antimicrobial activity against tested microorganisms. The essential oil did not differ remarkably in its antibacterial and antifungal activities. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were 40 ml/l for bacterial strains, and 80 ml/l for fungal strains.
