1,3,4-Thiadiazole is an important heterocyclic moiety, forms an integral core structural component of different categories of drugs such as antimicrobial, antitubercular, anti-inflammatory, antiepileptic, antiviral, antineoplastics, and analgesic agents. It is a key moiety in current discovery and designing of new drugs. The compounds were synthesised by both conventional method and microwave method. The targeted derivatives can be synthesised in a shorter time under microwave condition than under conventional reaction condition. Their structures were confirmed by FT-IR and NMR Spectroscopy. Antibacterial property of two synthesised analogs were evaluated by Agar well diffusion method against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The results of antibacterial activity showed that both the compounds were active against Staphylococcus aureus and inactive against Escherichia coli. Results of invitro studies showed that modifications in SB-2-PHB and SB-8-PHB will make it as a promising lead molecule for further research.

Background: Anti-phospholipid antibodies have the potential to become an alternative to conventional antibiotics for humans. The Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease where the body’s defense system incorrectly reacts against its own phospholipids. APS is distinct through the existence of venous and arterial thromboses, frequently multiple and recurring fetal losses, commonly accompanied by moderate thrombocytopenia. Anti-phospholipid antibodies include lupus anti-coagulant, anti- cardiolipin, anti-beta 2 glycoprotein 1, and anti-prothrombin antibodies. Methods: In this study, the mechanism of action of Anti-phospholipid antibodies against Klebsiella pneumonia and Staphylococcus aureus was investigated in great detail using a unique combination of imaging and biophysical techniques. Antibacterial activity of antiphospholipid antibodies was detected by a diffusion method and the investigation of the complexity of antibody-antigen was done by spectroscopic examination, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging. Results: There was a profound change in the bacteria treated with healthy and patient serum in the optical microscopic study. In all of the studied fields, bacterial treatment with patient serum immediately induced bacterial swelling and cumulative accumulation of the bacteria while no changes were observed in the healthy serum. Anti-bacterial activities of patient serum were detected on the plate. The result of this study showed that after platelet activation by thrombin and incubation with antiphospholipid antibodies, the platelet was aggregated. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image showed that the cell wall of Klebsiella pneumonia and Staphylococcus aureus incubated with antiphospholipid had a bizarre shape and antiphospholipid antibodies bound to bacterial membranes. Conclusion: The data indicated that antiphospholipid antibodies with hemolysis activities have an effect on Gram-positive and negative bacteria and these antibodies have the potential to become antibiotic for human.

The aim of this research is to investigate the antibacterial activity and identify the phytochemical constituents of Mangifera indica leafs on Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus using disc diffusion method. The sample was collected fresh from the premises of Bioresources Development Center (BIODEC), Katsina, Katsina State and was dried and pounded into powder. The powdered leaves were extracted using ethanol and aqueous solvents. Various concentrations ranging from 500mg to 62.5mg were prepared. Test isolates were obtained from the Microbiology laboratory, Umaru Musa Yar’adua University Katsina (UMYUK) and were further authenticated using Gram staining and biochemical test. The bacterial inoculums were standardized to McFarland scale 0.5. Zones of inhibition were read after 24 hours at 370C. The results of the antibacterial study revealed that the ethanolic leaves extracts at 500mg/ml had effect on P. aeruginosa and S. aureus with zones of inhibition of 12mm and 6mm respectively. The results of the phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, saponins, alkaloids and phenols where only alkaloids was found to be absent in the aqueous extract. There is no significant difference between the solvents and various concentrations used base on t-test data analysis.
