The present study deals with the synthesis and characterization of nanocrystalline vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) nanoparticles and their antibacterial and antifungal activity onStaphylococcus aureus and Aspergillus niger, respectively, by agar diffusion method. The metal oxide has been synthesized by employing the sol-gel method, polyaniline (PANI) has been synthesized by chemical oxidation, and PANI/V2O5composites have been synthesized byin situpolymerization method with different ratios (10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 weight%) of V2O5in PANI. The newly prepared composites were characterized by FTIR and powder X-ray diffraction (P-XRD) techniques and are found to be formed of PANI/V2O5nanocomposites, and also the compounds showed moderate antibacterial and antifungal activity.

Three series of some novel chalcone based urea, thiourea and acetamide derivatives were designed, synthesized and screened for their antimicrobial and antifungal activities. All the synthesized compounds are first reported. The structures of the compounds were elucidated with the aid of elemental analysis and spectral methods including IR, 1H-NMR spectral data. The prepared compounds were evaluated for antibacterial activity against two Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus pyogenus), two Gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli). The title compounds were also investigated for their antifungal activity using the broth micro dilution method. The bioassay results showed that compounds a few compounds showed good to superior in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activity.
