A series of benzotriazole, cyclic amides and pyrimidine derivatives, containing 2,6-di-tert-butyl-phenol fragments, were synthesized. The redox properties of obtained compounds were studied using the cyclic voltammetry on a platinum electrode in acetonitrile. The oxidation potentials of all substances were comparable to those of BHT. The obtained compounds were tested for their antibacterial activity, and N-(2-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxoethyl)isatin (32 μg/mL) exerted good activity against Staphylococcus aureus.

New heterocyclic compounds spiroderivatives of allopurinol of biological interest were prepared from allopurinol via thionation and 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and were produced in high to excellent yields. These compounds were characterized on the basis of spectral and spectroscopic data (1H NMR,13C, IR, and MS). The antibacterial activity of the synthesized products was studied using bacterial strains:Staphylococcus aureus,Enterococcus faecalis,Escherichia coli, andPseudomonas aeruginosa. Compounds having an ethyl group showed the best activity with MIC value of 31.25 µg/mL againstStaphylococcus aureusandStreptococcus fasciens.

AbstractA new series of 6-amino-5-(aryldiazenyl)-N1,N3-dimethyl-2-thioxo-pyrimidin-4-one derivatives 17–27 and the N1-methyl-azothiopyrimidine analog 28 were synthesized from the pyrimidine derivatives 4 and 5, respectively, via diazotization reaction, with various amines. The platinum(II) metal complexes [bis(4-amino-N3-methyl-6-oxo-2-thioxo-pyrimidin-1-yl)]Pt(II) (29) and [(6-amino-5-(4-R-phenyl)diazenyl)-N1,N3-dimethyl-2-thioxo-pyrimidin-4-one)]Pt(II)Cl2 derivatives 30–33 were prepared from the treatment of 5 and the azo analogs 17 and 21–23 with PtCl2, respectively. Analogously, 5 and 17 were treated with RuCl3·3H2O to give the Ru(III) complexes 34 and 35, respectively. The newly synthesized compounds were assayed against HIV-1 and HIV-2 in MT-4 cells. The results revealed that 26 and 30 were the only compounds in the series inhibiting HIV replication in cell cultures with an IC50 value of >2.07 and >3.02 μg mL–1, respectively. The molecular modeling interactions of 26 with some amino acids of HIV reverse transcriptase were studied. In addition, the antibacterial activity of 17–35 and 31–33 against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was evaluated.

A series of substituted chalcones and pyrimidine derivatives on their base was synthesized. Obtained compounds were tested for antimicrobial activity and ability to increase activity of known antimicrobial substances. Pyrimidine products shown good activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida tropicalis. These compounds also could increase activity of modified polyguanidines against Staphylococcus aureus.

Different extracts of the leaves and barks of Zizyphus rugosa and Zizyphus oenoplia were studied for their antibacterial, antifungal, and b-glucuronidase inhibitory activities. The methanol extract of Z. rugosa bark showed significant antibacterial activity against Streptococcus pyogens, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aerogenes whereas the methanol extract of leaves demonstrated moderate activity against Salmonella typhi. The chloroform and methanol extracts of Z. oenoplia showed good activity against a few bacteria strains. The chloroform extracts of the barks and leaves of Z. rugosaalso showed antifungal activity. The methanol and ethyl acetate extracts of the bark of Z. rugosa revealed significant b-glucuronidase inhibitory activity. Lupeol, betuline, betulinaldehyde and betulinic acid, isolated from Z. rugosa, also showed good activity against a few bacteria.

Abstract Aroylhydrazones 1–13 were screened for antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities in vitro. N′-(2-hydroxy-phenylmethylidene)-3-pyridinecarbohydrazide (2), N′-(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl-methylidene)-3-pyridinecarbohydrazide (10), N′-(3,5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenylmethylidene)-3-pyridinecarbohydrazide (11), and N′-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenylmethylidene)-3-pyridinecarbohydrazide (12) showed antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, with MIC values (in µmol mL−1) of 0.18–0.23, 0.11–0.20, 0.16–0.17 and 0.35–0.37, resp. Compounds 11 and 12, as well as N′-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylmethylidene)-3-pyridinecarbohydrazide (6) and N′-(2-hydroxy-5- methoxyphenylmethylidene)-3-pyridinecarbohydrazide (8) showed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, with the lowest MIC values of 0.005–0.2, 0.05–0.12, 0.06–0.48 and 0.17–0.99 µmol mL−1. N′-(2-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenylmethylidene)-3-pyridinecarbohydrazide (7) showed antifungal activity against both fluconazole resistant and susceptible C. albicans strains with IC90 range of 0.18–0.1 µmol mL−1. Only compound 11 showed activity against C. albicans ATCC 10231 comparable to the activity of nystatin (the lowest MIC 4.0 ×10−2 vs. 1.7 × 10−2 µmol mL−1). Good activity regarding multi-resistant clinical strains was observed for compound 12 against MRSA strain (MIC 0.02 µmol mL−1) and compounds 2, 6 and 12 against ESBL+ E. coli MFBF 12794, with the lowest MIC for compound 12 (IC50 0.16 µmol mL−1). Anti-biofilm activity was found for compounds 2 (MBFIC 0.015–0.02 µmol mL−1 against MRSA) and 12 (MBFIC 0.013 µmol mL−1 against EBSL+ E. coli). In the case of compound 2 against MRSA biofilm formation, MBFIC values were comparable to those of gentamicin sulphate, whereas in the case of compound 12 and EBSL+ E. coli even more favourable activity compared to gentamicin was observed.

The antibacterial activity of three Cupressaceae plants (Thujaoccidentalis,ThujaorientalisandChamaecyparisobtusa) was tested against three bacteria using the agar diffusion method. The ether and ethylacetate fraction of crude methanol extract from the three plants showed potent antibacterial activity against the tested microorganisms. The result showed that Staphylococcus aureus revealed the most sensitivity among the tested bacteria. Thujaoccidentalisether fraction and Thujaorientalis hexane fraction exhibited the highest antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. E. coli was shown the highest MIC values compared to the other two tested bacteria, which indicates the lowest antibacterial activity against the bacterium. This study promises an interesting future for designing a potentially active antibacterial agent from the three Cupressaceae plants.

The present study was carried out to determine, for the first time, the chemical composition and antibacterial activity of essential oils derived from the aerial parts of three aromatic plants Thymus algeriensis Boiss & Reut, Rosmarinus officinalis L., and Salvia officinalis L. growing under semiarid conditions. The essential oils were chemically analyzed and identified by gas chromatography (GC) and GC/ mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and their antimicrobial activity was individually evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa using both agar disk diffusion and agar dilution methods. The major constituents of Thymus algeriensis essential oil were identified as camphor (13.62%), 1,8-cineol (6.00%), borneol (5.74%), viridiflorol (4.00%), and linalool (3.93%). For Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil, 48 compounds were characterized, of which the main constituents were camphor (17.09%), Z-β-ocimene (10.88%), isoborneol (9.68%), α-bisabolol (7.89%), and borneol (5.11%). While, Salvia officinalis essential oil was characterized by β-thujone (16.44%), followed by viridiflorol (10.93%), camphor (8.99%), 1,8-cineol (8.11%), trans-caryophyllene (5.85%), and α-humulene (4.69%) as the major components. Notably, results from antibacterial screening indicated that Thymus algeriensis and Salvia officinalis essential oils exhibited a strong inhibitory effect against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus compared to Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil. Further, less activity was recorded against Pseudomonas aeruginosa for the three tested essential oils.
