7-Hydroxy-3',4'-methylenedioxy- and 7-benzyloxy-3',4'-methylenedioxy flavanones have been synthesized starting from 2,4-dihydroxyacetophenone. Subsequently biocidal activities of the flavanones have been investigated along with their corresponding chalcones against some bacterial and fungal strains. 2'-Hydroxy-4'-benzyloxy-3,4-methylenedioxy chalcone (5) and its corresponding flavanone (7) showed good antibacterial and antifungal activities against some selected bacterial and fungal strains. On the other hand, 2',4'-dihydroxy-3,4-methylenedioxy chalcone (4) showed no antibacterial and antifungal activities while its corresponding flavanone (6) showed a little antibacterial activity only at higher concentration but did not show antifungal activity. The synthesized chalcones and flavanones have been characterized using UV-Vis, IR and 1H NMRspectral data together with elemental analysis.

A novel series of pyrazolyl 1,3,4-thiadiazines 5a–c, 8a–c, 12, 15a–c, 17a–c, and 20 was prepared from the reaction of pyrazole-1-carbothiohydrazide 1a,b with 2-oxo-N′-arylpropanehydrazonoyl chloride, 2-chloro-2-(2-arylhydrazono)acetate, and 3-bromoacetylcoumarin. Moreover, the regioselective reaction of 5-pyrazolone-1-carbothiohydrazide 1a with 4-substituted diazonium salts and 4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde gave the corresponding hydrazones 21a–c and 22. The newly prepared compounds were characterized by spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Many new synthesized compounds showed considerable antimicrobial activity against tested microorganisms. Hydrazones 21a–c and 22 showed remarkable antibacterial and antifungal activities. 4-(2-(p-tolyl)hydrazineylidene)-pyrazole-1-carbothiohydrazide 21a displayed the highest antibacterial and antifungal activities with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values lower than standard drugs chloramphenicol and clotrimazole, in the range of 62.5–125 and 2.9–7.8 µg/mL, respectively.

In the GC-MS analysis, 81 bioactive phytochemical compounds were identified in the hexane extracts of Cirsium creticum and Cirsium italicum. Terpenoids constituted the main fractions of C. italicum (70.95 %) while hydrocarbons were most abundant compounds of C. creticum (41.11 %). The antibacterial activity and antifungal activity of extracts from two Cirsium species was tested by using microdilution methods. According to the results of antibacterial activity, highest inhibition effect of C. creticum was found on B. subtilis, E. coli and P. aeruginosa. The highest inhibition effect of C. italicum was found on B. subtilis. In the results of antifungal activity, highest inhibition effect of C. creticum was found on P. chrysogenum and highest inhibition effect of C. italicum was found on C. krusei. The present work is the first report on hexane extracts compounds of two Cirsium species as well as the antibacterial and antifungal activities.

Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate in-vitro efficacy of antibacterial, and antifungal activities of chloroform extract of leaf of Sida cordifolia L. against some human pathogenic bacterial and fungal strains. S. cordifolia (Malvaceae) is used as anti-rheumatic, analgesic, antipyretic, anti-asthmatic, nasal decongestant, antiviral, laxative, diuretic, aphrodisiac, hypoglycemic, hepatoprotective and in the treatment of Parkinson disease. Methodology: Chloroform extract of S.cordifolia was used for antimicrobial screening. Antibacterial activity was tested against pathogenic bacterial strains Eschericha coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Also antifungal activity was tested against one human pathogenic fungal strain i.e. Candida albicans. Antibacterial and antifungal activities of S. cordifolia extract was carried out by using disc diffusion method. Results: Chloroform extract of S. cordifolia showed the largest zone of inhibition (10mm) against S. aureus at 50µgm/mL and no zone of inhibition against E.coli at 50µgm/ml. Chloroform extract has shown more potent antibacterial activity against S.aureus. Chloroform extract was found to be more effective against human pathogenic fungus C. albicuns. The zone of inhibition of chloroform extract was 10mm.The phytochemical screening demonstrated the presence of different types of compounds like alkaloids, tannins and phenolic compounds which may contribute for the anti-microbial action of this plant.  Conclusions: The results concludes that chloroform extract of S. cordifolia leaf possess antimicrobial activity.

Aim of present research was to evaluate the anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-oxidant and multi-stress activities of a medicinal plant Mint Lemonade plant extract. Fresh mint was purchased from the nearest market. The samples were cleaned with distilled led water and its leaves, stem and roots were separated them all. The material was dried in shade at room temperature (24ºC). The three types of extracts were prepared for each sample of mint plantviz, ethanol, n-hexane and water. The antibacterial and antifungal activities of ethanolic, n-haxene and aqueous mint extract was determined on Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas, Aeromonas hydrophila, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavous and Rhizopus stolonifer respectively. From the results of the antibacterial and antifungal activities it was clear that the aqueous extract showed no inhibitory effect on test these microorganisms. In ethanolic extract of antibacterial activity Escherichia coli showed the maximum zone of inhibition with diameters of 3.90 cm at 50 µl dose. Bacilluscereus showed the zone of inhibition diameter 4.9 cm. Pseudomonas showed the maximum zone of inhibition in diameter 3.86mm.Aeromonas hydrophila expressed the maximum zone of inhibition in diameter 3.86mm. The n-hexane extracts antibacterial activity of E. coli, Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas and Aeromonas hydrophila showed the zone of inhibition 3.86 cm, 4.5 cm, 7.90 mm and 4.71 cm respectively, while the positive control showed inhibition zone about 0.0 cm. The antifungal activity in n-haxene extract showed the maximum result in Aspergillus flavous 18 cm of the area of inhibition. In ethanol extracts antifungal activity showed the maximum result in Aspergillus flavous 4.8 cm of the zone of inhibition. The inhibitory action of mint plant extracts indicated that the plant may be used as potential antibacterial agent.

A number of new symmetrically and asymmetrically 2,3-disubstituted quinoxalines were synthesized through functionalization of 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline (2,3-DCQ) with a variety of sulfur and/or nitrogen nucleophiles. The structures of the obtained compounds were established based on their spectral data and elemental analysis. The antimicrobial activity for the prepared compounds was investigated against four bacterial species and two fungal strains. The symmetrically disubstituted quinoxalines 2, 3, 4, and 5 displayed the most significant antibacterial activity, while compounds 6a, 6b, and the pentacyclic compound 10 showed considerable antifungal activity. Furthermore, compounds 3f, 6b showed broad antimicrobial spectrum against most of the tested strains.

Nickel(II) complex of 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-Naphthyl)-1,3-butanedione(tfnb) and its 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy), ethylenediamine (en) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) adducts were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, electronic spectral, magnetic susceptibility measurements and antimicrobial activities. Three other nickel(II) compounds were synthesized along with these compounds. The bands in the 1651-1513 cm-1 have been assigned as ν(C=O) + ν(C=C). The infrared and electronic spectral measurements are indicative of a probable six-coordinate octahedral geometry for all the nickel(II) complexes and adducts. The antimicrobial activity shows that [Ni(tfnb)2]2H2O complex and its adducts have no antibacterial and antifungal activities.
