AbstractAntibacterial materials have found widespread interest in different fields nowadays. In this study, curcumin (Cur) was incorporated into the polyvinyl butyral (PVB) matrix by dissolving in ethanol for improving the functional properties of a pure PVB film. We found that Cur was uniformly dispersed in the PVB matrix, which showed good compatibility. Moreover, the incorporation of Cur could also improve thermal stability, hydrophilicity, and mechanical property. The UV-vis spectra of the PVB–Cur film demonstrated that the film could block ultraviolet radiation. Subsequently, the antibacterial activity of the PVB–Cur film was measured by the colony-counting method against S. aureus and E. coli. The results showed that the PVB–Cur film exhibited good antibacterial activity. Therefore, the PVB–Cur film was considered as a promising material for food and medical packaging applications.

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens-9 (GBacillus-9), which is isolated from the intestinal tract of the white-spotted bamboo shark (Chiloscyllium plagiosum), can secrete potential antibacterial materials, such as β-1,3-1,4-glucanase and some antimicrobial peptides. However, the low fermentation production has hindered the development of GBacillus-9 as biological additives. In this study, the Plackett–Burman design and response surface methodology were used to optimize the fermentation conditions in a shake flask to obtain a higher yield and antibacterial activity of GBacillus-9. On the basis of the data from medium screening, M9 medium was selected as the basic medium for fermentation. The data from the single-factor experiment showed that sucrose had the highest antibacterial activity among the 10 carbon sources. The Plackett–Burman design identified sucrose, NH4Cl, and MgSO4 as the major variables altering antibacterial activity. The optimal concentrations of these compounds to enhance antibacterial activity were assessed using the central composite design. Data showed that sucrose, NH4Cl, and MgSO4 had the highest antibacterial activities at concentrations of 64.8, 1.84, and 0.08 g L−1, respectively. The data also showed that the optimal fermentation conditions for the antibacterial material production of GBacillus-9 were as follows: Inoculum volume of 5%, initial pH of 7.0, temperature of 36 °C, rotating speed of 180 rpm, and fermentation time of 10 h. The optimal fermentation medium and conditions achieved to improve the yield of antibacterial materials for GBacillus-9 can enhance the process of developing biological additives derived from GBacillus-9.

As a continuation of our research and with the aim of obtaining new antibacterial agents which can improve the current chemotherapeutic antibacterial treatments, a series of quinoxaline-1,4-di-N-oxide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for antibacterial activity against bacterial growing in macrophages in vitro. The results indicate that the new compounds exhibited a good antibacterial activity. Also, the potency and low toxicity of these compounds make them valid leads for synthesizing new compounds that possess better activity.

This topic is based on the research and development of inorganic silver-loaded antibacterial materials with good antibacterial activity, and the preparation of silver-loaded calcium carbonate inorganic nano-antibacterial agents by redox reaction. At the same time, the mixed rare earth oxide was added to the ceramic glaze containing silver nano antibacterial agent, and the nano antibacterial building sanitary ceramics were prepared by firing at 1180 °C in an oxidizing atmosphere. This experiment investigated the effect of adding mixed rare earth oxides on the quality and properties of glaze. Experiments show that the new glaze has stronger antibacterial effect than the nano antibacterial glaze without mixed rare earth oxide, and the glaze quality is good. After adding 0.5 wt% of mixed rare earth oxide, the whiteness, abrasion resistance, hardness and thermal shock resistance of the glaze were significantly improved.This topic is based on the research and development of inorganic silver-loaded antibacterial materials with good antibacterial activity, and the preparation of silver-loaded calcium carbonate inorganic nano-antibacterial agents by redox reaction.

Abstract Myricetin derivatives containing sulfonylpiperazine were synthesized and their structures were confirmed by NMR and HRMS. The antibacterial activity results indicated that some compounds showed good antibacterial activity against Xanthomonas oryzaepv. oryzae (Xoo), Xanthomonas axonopodispv. citri (Xac) and Ralstonia solanacearum (Rs). Among them, compounds 4m and 4p revealed excellent antibacterial activities against Rs with a concentration for 50% of maximal effect (EC50) value of 4 and 4 μg/mL, which were better than the control drugs bismerthiazol (13 μg/mL) and thiodiazole-copper (185 μg/mL). As observed using scanning electron microscope (SEM), these compounds act by causing folding and deformation of the bacterial surface, resulting in incomplete bacterial structure, so as to achieve the goal of bacteriostasis. The myricetin derivatives synthesized are expected to guide the research direction of new antibacterial agents.

Novel antibacterial compounds are needed to combat the emerging bacterial infections. In this study, synthesis of 4-substituted benzylpiperazin-1-yl methanone derivatives was carried out by 4-substituted benzyl chloride (I) with piperazine in presence of ethanol to obtain 4-substituted benzylpiperazines (II). Benzylpiperazines (II) was condensed with different substituted esters in presence of diluted acid to produce title compounds (IIIa–e, IVa-e and Va-e). All the title compounds were screened for possible antibacterial activity against P. Vulgaris, S. Aureas, E. Coli, B. Subtillus and antifungal activity against Altenaria, Culvalaria, C. Albicans and A. Niger. Among the compounds synthesized IVb, IVd and IVf demonstrated good antibacterial activity; IVb, IVc, and IVe showed good antifungal activity. The activities of the synthesized compounds are compared with the standard and other test compounds. The structures of synthesized compounds were established by elemental analysis, IR, H NMR and Mass spectral data. Future studies will confirm their efficacy and utility as antibacterial agents.

Background: The key issue in the development of novel antimicrobials is a rapid expansion of new bacterial strains resistant to current antibiotics. Indeed, World Health Organization has reported that bacteria commonly causing infections in hospitals and in the community, e.g. E. Coli, K. pneumoniae and S. aureus, have high resistance vs the last generations of cephalosporins, carbapenems and fluoroquinolones. During the past decades, only few successful efforts to develop and launch new antibacterial medications have been performed. This study aims to identify new class of antibacterial agents using novel high-throughput screening technique. Methods: We have designed library containing 125K compounds not similar in structure (Tanimoto coeff.< 0.7) to that published previously as antibiotics. The HTS platform based on double reporter system pDualrep2 was used to distinguish between molecules able to block translational machinery or induce SOS-response in a model E. coli system. MICs for most active chemicals in LB and M9 medium were determined using broth microdilution assay. Results: In an attempt to discover novel classes of antibacterials, we performed HTS of a large-scale small molecule library using our unique screening platform. This approach permitted us to quickly and robustly evaluate a lot of compounds as well as to determine the mechanism of action in the case of compounds being either translational machinery inhibitors or DNA-damaging agents/replication blockers. HTS has resulted in several new structural classes of molecules exhibiting an attractive antibacterial activity. Herein, we report as promising antibacterials. Two most active compounds from this series showed MIC value of 1.2 (5) and 1.8 μg/mL (6) and good selectivity index. Compound 6 caused RFP induction and low SOS response. In vitro luciferase assay has revealed that it is able to slightly inhibit protein biosynthesis. Compound 5 was tested on several archival strains and exhibited slight activity against gram-negative bacteria and outstanding activity against S. aureus. The key structural requirements for antibacterial potency were also explored. We found, that the unsubstituted carboxylic group is crucial for antibacterial activity as well as the presence of bulky hydrophobic substituents at phenyl fragment. Conclusion: The obtained results provide a solid background for further characterization of the 5'- (carbonylamino)-2,3'-bithiophene-4'-carboxylate derivatives discussed herein as new class of antibacterials and their optimization campaign.
