The wide spread of pathogens resistance requires the development of new antimicrobial agents capable of overcoming drug resistance. The main objective of the study is to elucidate the effect of substitutions in tris(1H-indol-3-yl)methylium derivatives on their antibacterial activity and toxicity to human cells. A series of new compounds were synthesized and tested. Their antibacterial activity in vitro was performed on 12 bacterial strains, including drug resistant strains, that were clinical isolates or collection strains. The cytotoxic effect of the compounds was determined using an test with HPF-hTERT (human postnatal fibroblasts, immortalized with hTERT) cells. The activity of the obtained compounds depended on the carbon chain length. Derivatives with C5–C6 chains were more active. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the most active compound on Gram-positive bacteria, including MRSA, was 0.5 μg/mL. Compounds with C5–C6 chains also revealed high activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis (1.0 and 0.5 μg/mL, respectively) and moderate activity against Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli (8 μg/mL) and Klebsiella pneumonia (2 and 8 μg/mL, respectively). However, they have no activity against Salmonella cholerasuis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The most active compounds revealed higher antibacterial activity on MRSA than the reference drug levofloxacin, and their ratio between antibacterial and cytotoxic activity exceeded 10 times. The data obtained provide a basis for further study of this promising group of substances.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate 2,4-dichlorobenzoic acid derivatives as antimicrobial agents through in vitro, QSAR and molecular docking studies. Methods: The compounds were subjected to in vitro antimicrobial screening by test tube dilution method and the structural characteristics governing the antimicrobial potential were studied using QSAR methodology. These compounds were also screened for docking simulation to find out binding confirmation of reported compounds with PDB 1aj0 and 5fsa using AutoDock tools and discovery studio. Results: The antimicrobial evaluation data indicated that compounds 13 and 18 were found to be the most effective against all the bacterial strains and Aspergillus niger while compounds 1 and 14 exhibited more antifungal potential against Candida albicans. QSAR studies confirmed the role of molar refractivity and Balaban index (J) as controlling parameters for antimicrobial potential. Molecular modeling study revealed that compounds interact with the active site of PDB by hydrophobic, hydrogen bonding, and Van der Wall interactions. Conclusion: These test compounds were identified as potent candidates for the control of microbial strains tested, and structural relationship with activity may provide valuable information for further design and synthesis of compounds with antimicrobial potential.

Two series of sulfonamides were synthesized from 4-hydrazinylbenzenesulfonamide as the key starting material. 1,3,5-Triarylpyrazoline sulfonamides (2a?i) were obtained by cyclocondensation of various chalcones in 53? ?64 % yields, while 4-thiazolidinone derivatives (4a?e) were synthesized by cyclocondensation between mercaptoacetic acid and different phenylhydrazones in 43?62 % yields. The synthesized compounds were characterized based on FTIR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and HRMS data. The sulfonamides were evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial activities against four bacterial strains (E. coli, P. aeruginosa, B. subtillis and S aureus), two filamentous fungal strains (A. niger and F. oxysporum) and two yeast strains (C. albicans and S. cerevisiae). Seven pyrazolines, 2a?c and 2e?h, exhibited significant inhibition of different microbial strains. Among them, compound 2b displayed good antifungal activity against A. niger (MIC value at 12.5 ?g mL-1) over the reference drug.

This research describes the synthesis and in vitro antimicrobial activity study of a series of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzenesulfonyl hydrazones. Twenty-five hydrazones (2–26) were synthesized on the basis of condensation reaction. The in vitro bioactivity study confirmed the potential application of obtained derivatives as antimicrobial agents. Among the tested compounds, the highest activity was discovered for derivative 24, which possessed minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) ranging from 7.81 to 15.62 µg/mL against Gram-positive reference bacterial strains. Synthesized benzenesulfonyl hydrazones can be applied as potential ligands for the synthesis of bioactive metal complexes.

Diabetes is the most common metabolic disorder in both developing and non-developing countries, and a well-recognized global health problem. The WHO anticipates an increase in cases from 171 million in 2000 to 366 million by 2030. In the present study, we focus on the preparation of pyrimidine derivatives as potential antidiabetic and antimicrobial agents. Thein vivoeffect on total serum glucose concentration, cholesterol and antioxidant activity was assessed in adult male albino Wister rats and compared to the reference drug glimperide. Promising results were observed for compound 5. The histopathological study confirms that compound 5 results in significant activity with liver maintenance. The antimicrobial activities were evaluated against several bacterial strains such as Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 25566, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli NRRN 3008, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 10145, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538and fungi such as Rhizopus oligosporus, Mucor miehei and Asperillus niger. Compounds 4 and 5 showed a good inhibition of the bacterial zone compared to the reference drug cephradine. Finally, we suggest protein targets for these drugs based on computational analysis, and infer their activities from their predicted modes of binding using molecular modeling. The molecular modeling for compounds 4 and 5 resulted in improved docking scores and hydrogen bonding. The docking studies are in good agreement with the in vitro and in vivo studies.

Human beta-defensins (hBDs) play an important role in the host defense against various microbes, showing different levels of antibacterial activity and salt resistance in vitro. It is of interest to investigate whether can chimeric hBD analogs enhanced antibacterial activity and salt resistance. In this study, we designed a chimeric human defensin, named H4, by combining sequences of human beta-defensin-3 (hBD-3) and human beta-defensin-4 (hBD-4), then evaluated its antibacterial activity, salt resistance, and cytotoxic effects. The result showed that the antibacterial activity of H4 against most tested strains, including Klebsiella pneumonia, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphyloccocus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Acinetobacter baumannii was significantly improved compared to that of hBD-3 and hBD-4. Notably, H4 exhibited significantly better antibacterial activity against multidrug resistant isolate A. baumannii MDR-ZJ06 than commonly used antibiotics. Chimeric H4 still showed more than 80% antibacterial activity at high salt concentration (150 μM), which proves its good salt tolerance. The cytotoxic effect assay showed that the toxicity of H4 to Hela, Vero, A549 cells and erythrocytes at a low dose (<10 μg/ml) was similar to that of hBD-3 and hBD-4. In conclusion, given its broad spectrum of antibacterial activity and high salt resistance, chimeric H4 could serve as a promising template for new therapeutic antimicrobial agents.

Background: Natural sesquiterpene lactones are an important class of heterocyclic compounds in drug discovery since they are possessed a wide range of biological properties including antibacterial activity. Objective: The objective of this study was to synthesize of isoalantolactone derivatives with a furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2-оne moiety and to evaluate their antibacterial and antiviral activity. Methods: The Sonogashira cross-coupling and subsequent Ag-catalyzed cyclization reactions were the main routes of synthesis. The antibacterial activity and the ability to inhibit biofilms formation on E. coli, S. aureus, A. viscosus, P. aeruginosa and E. faecalis bacterial strains were evaluated. A study of the molecular interactions of new compounds with the multiple virulence factor regulators was performed using docking simulations. The antiviral activity against influenza A virus and human orthopneumovirus H-2А was also studied. Results: The in vitro antibacterial activity for 4 (MIC = 58.33±4.41 μg/mL) concerning E. coli and 5 (MIC = 96.5±3.25 μg/mL) against A. viscosus and the inhibition of biofilm formation for compounds 2, 4, and 5 on E. coli, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and E. faecalis bacterial strains has been of interest for the search of improved antimicrobial agents. Compound 3 was endowed with antiviral activity to human orthopneumovirus H-2А with SI >33. The activity of the new type of hybrid compounds is depended on the substituent in the 6th position of furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2-one fragment. Conclusion: The decoration of isoalantolactone with a furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2-one fragment led to perspective antiviral and antimicrobial agents. Due to antimicrobial activity, pyridine-4-yl substituted isoalantolactone-furopyrimidinone hybrid is considered as a candidate compound to participate in further research.

The aim of this study was to investigate the chemical composition and antibacterial activity of the essential oil of Melaleuca bracteata F. Muell from India. The hydrodistilled essential oils of M. bracteata in spring, summer, rainy, autumn and winter seasons were analyzed using GC-FID and GC-MS. Altogether, 25 constituents, comprising 97.3–99.7% of the total oil were identified with methyl eugenol (87.2–89.5%), ( E)-methyl cinnamate (2.8–5.4%), methyl chavicol (0.2–0.5%), and elemicin (0.2–0.4%) as major constituents. The antibacterial efficacy of the essential oil was evaluated against nine pathogenic bacterial strains. Zone of inhibition and MIC of the essential oil ranged from 5–10 mm and 500–1000 μg/mL against the tested pathogens, respectively. Results showed that essential oil of M. bracteata from Indian origin possessed good activity against Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and moderate activity against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Streptococcus mutans. Results of the present seasonal variation study clearly indicated that M. bracteata grown in foothills of Uttarakhand, India could be classified as seasonally stable ‘methyl eugenol’ chemotype (>85.0%), hence may be considered as a novel natural resource for methyl eugenol rich essential oil for flavor, fragrance and pharmaceutical applications.
