Introduction. The microbial biofilm-forming ability is one of the major aspects of the emerging issue of antibiotic resistance, which makes them tolerant to antibiotics and host defense systems and other external stresses, thus contributing to persistent chronic infections. A series of relevant studies confirmed the high efficiency of aminopropanol derivatives as potential antibacterial and antifungal agents. This present study was aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of new 1-[(2,4-(di-tert-butylphenoxy))-3-dialkylamino-2-propanol] derivatives on the planktonic bacterial/fungal cells and biofilms. Material and methods. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the new compounds were determined by a standard method, along with their effects on biofilms estimated via the gentian violet adsorption-desorption assay.Results. The КVM-219 compound showed the most pronounced effect on planktonic bacterial and fungal cells. The MIC values ranged between 0.78 μg/mL to 12.5 μg/mL, depending on the microbial strain. The KVM-316 compound exhibited the strongest inhibitory effect on biofilms, thus preventing their formation by S. aureus (96.1%), E. coli (57.2%), and P. aeruginosa (96.1%). Conclusions. The 15 newly synthesized 1-[(2,4-(di-tert-butylphenoxy))-3-dialkylamino-2-propanol] derivatives revealed marked antibacterial and antifungal effects on planktonic microorganisms. Most of these compounds showed a strain-specific inhibition of biofilm formation by at least 50% for S. aureus 222, E. coli 311, P. aeruginosa 449 and C. glabrata 404 strains.

Background: Although a great number of the targets of antimicrobial therapy have been achieved, it remains among the first fields of pharmaceutical research, mainly because of the development of resistant strains. Docking analysis may be an important tool in the research for the development of more effective agents against specific drug targets or multi-target agents 1-3. Methods: In the present study, based on docking analysis, ten tetrahydrothiazolo[2,3-a]isoindole derivatives were chosen for the evaluation of the antimicrobial activity. Results: All compounds showed antibacterial activity against eight Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial species being, in some cases, more potent than ampicillin and streptomycin against all species. The most sensitive bacteria appeared to be S. aureus and En. Cloacae, while M. flavus, E. coli and P. aeruginosa were the most resistant ones. The compounds were also tested for their antifungal activity against eight fungal species. All compounds exhibited good antifungal activity better than reference drugs bifonazole (1.4 – 41 folds) and ketoconazole (1.1 – 406 folds) against all fungal species. In order to elucidate the mechanism of action, docking studies on different antimicrobial targets were performed. Conclusion: According to docking analysis, the antifungal activity can be explained by the inhibition of the CYP51 enzyme for most compounds with a better correlation of the results obtained for the P.v.c. strain (linear regression between estimated binding Energy and log(1/MIC) with R 2 =0.867 and p=0.000091 or R 2 = 0.924, p= 0.000036, when compound 3 is excluded.

Chitosan, a cationic biopolymer is a major derivative of chitin. It is biocompatible, non-toxic and environ-friendly material and has broad spectrum antimicrobial activity. However, it is less effective in neutral or basic conditions due to its solubility only in acidic medium. Therefore, chemical modification with suitable groups is necessary to enhance the potency of chitosan. The present study was mainly conducted to explore the effect of structural modifications on antimicrobial potential of chitosan. N-Methyl, N-Ethyl and N-Propyl pyrrole were reacted with N-chloroacyl-6-O-triphenylmethylchitosan prepared by stepwise modification of chitosan to form N-Methyl, N-Ethyl and N-Propyl pyrrole derivatives of chitosan. Structural characterization of these pyrrole derivatives was done by IR, NMR, XRD, DSC and Elemental Analysis. The gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli, gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus were selected for antibacterial activity and the fungus C. albicans was selected for antifungal activity by agar diffusion method and MIC method. Antimicrobial activity of the N-Methyl, N-Ethyl and N-Propyl pyrrole derivatives on E. coli, S. aureus and C. albicans showed an inhibitory effect on all the organisms. The potency of inhibition was found to be varied with the substitutions. The maximum activity was shown by N-pyrrolylpropylchitosan against E. coli (zone of inhibition 1.2±0.05cm, MIC 0.15±0.03mg/ml), S. aureus (zone of inhibition 1.4±0.03cm, MIC 0.15±0.01mg/ml), C. albicans (zone of inhibition 0.8±0.03cm, MIC 0.2±0.03mg/ml). The study also confirmed that all the three derivatives exhibited higher inhibition than that of chitosan against E. coli (zone of inhibition 0.7±0.03cm, MIC 0.09±0.02mg/ml), S. aureus (zone of inhibition 0.8±0.03cm, MIC 0.09±0.02mg/ml), C. albicans (zone of inhibition 0.6±0.03cm, MIC 0.09±0.03mg/ml). Results demonstrated that these three N-alkylpyrrole chitosan derivatives exhibited improved potency and hence can have the more applicability as antimicrobials.

The present work describes the synthesis of a novel series of heterocyclic moieties derived from 5-acetylpyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine (1). The formation of chalcones (2a-d) was utilized to synthesize pyrazoline, isoxazoline and pyrimidine derivatives (3-10). Thiosemicarbazone and semicarbazone (11, 17) were utilized to synthesize other new triazolethiones, thiadiazole and selenadiazole derivatives (11-19). Some new spiro derivatives (22-25) were synthesized by the reaction of chalcone (21) of 1 and isatine with hydrazines, hydroxyl amines and thiourea. Also, The reaction of 1 with cyanoacetyl hydrazine gave the hydrazide-hydrazone derivative 26, which was allowed to react with aromatic aldehydes and α-cyanocinnamonitrile to afford coumarine and substituted pyridine derivatives (28, 29). The structures of all the new compounds have been established on the basis of their analytical and spectral data. Twenty two of the synthesized compounds were also evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal activity against various strains of bacteria and fungi and most are found to possess promising antimicrobial activity when compared with Chloramphenicol and Clotrimazole

Purpose. Some microbiota patterns have been associated with favorable IVF prognosis and others with pathological conditions. The endometrial fluid aspirate (EFA) contains antibacterial proteins that are enriched in implantative IVF cycles, but the antimicrobial effect of EFA has not been addressed. We aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the human endometrial fluid during the natural cycle. Methods. EFA was obtained through an embryo transfer catheter in 38 women, aged 18-40 years, with regular cycles attending to a fertility clinic. The antimicrobial activity of EFAs was tested against two strains of Staphylococcus aureus; one strain each of Streptococcus agalactiae, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumoniae; and three yeasts (Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, and Candida krusei). Results. All samples exhibited antibacterial activity against S. aureus. In addition, 32.4% of EFAs were active against one of the other microorganisms assayed, 16.2% against two, and 5.4% against four of them. In contrast, none exhibited antibacterial activity against E. coli or K. pneumoniae. The antimicrobial activity differs considerably between EFA samples, and we failed to observe a cycle-related pattern. Conclusions. EFA presented two antimicrobial activity patterns: (a) one common to all the samples, exhibiting activity against S. aureus and lack of activity against E. coli and K. pneumoniae, and (b) an individualized pattern, showing activity against some of the other microorganisms tested. The intensity of antibacterial activity differs between EFA samples. Our data suggest that the uterine microbiota is controlled by means of endometrial fluid components.

The objective of this study was to determine the antimicrobial activity of pepsin-digested lactoferrin added to carrot juice and filtrates prepared from carrot juice. Lactoferrin isolated from raw skim milk was digested by pepsin for 4 h at pH 3. The digest of lactoferrin was lyophilized, and the antimicrobial activity of the digests was determined in peptone-yeast-glucose broth, carrot juice, permeate from carrot juice, and the dialysate of carrot juice permeate using Esherichia coli (American Type Culture Collection strain 35343) as the test organism. Growth of E. coli and the inhibitory effect of the peptide were greater in peptone-yeast-glucose broth at pH 7 than at pH 4. The peptic digest of lactoferrin did not have antimicrobial properties in carrot juice at concentrations of less than 10 mg/ml of juice. Carrot juice was filtered through a membrane with a molecular weight rejection of 10,000 or 500 Da, and the permeate was dialyzed against distilled water. Growth of E. coli was delayed in the filtrate by 5 mg but not by 1 mg of the peptic digest of lactoferrin per ml of filtrate. Bacterial counts of the control and experimental samples were not significantly different after 24 h of incubation. The peptic digest of lactoferrin at a concentration of 5 mg of digest per ml of dialysate was bacteriostatic toward E. coli after 24 h of incubation at 23°C. Dialysis of permeate caused a percentage reduction in cation concentration in the permeate ranging from 69.23% (Co) to 99.32% (Na). The antimicrobial activity of lactoferrin added to carrot juice was probably inhibited by cations.

A series of 2-(p-substituted-benzyl)-5-[[4-(p-chloro/fluoro-phenyl)piperazin-1-yl]ace tamido] -benzoxazoles were synthesized in need of new compounds for the fight against microbial pathogens. Their structures were elucidated by spectral techniques. These new derivatives, along with previously synthesized 2-(p-substituted-benzyl)-5-substituted-benzoxazoles, were evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal activities against standard strains and drugresistant isolates in comparison with ampicillin, gentamicin sulfate, ofloxacin, vancomycin, fluconazole, and amphotericin B trihydrate. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of each compound was determined by a two-fold serial dilution technique. The compounds were found to possess a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activities with MIC values of 32 - 256 μg/ml. Although standard drugs were more active against the pathogenes employed in this study, the activities of the new benzoxazoles and reference drugs against drug-resistant isolates of the microorganisms were largely similar

The Relationship

AbstractPropolis, a complex bee product, is a source of numerous bioactive principles, beneficial for human health, therefore it is intensively studied. In the present work, extracts of propolis from Bihor Romanian County were studied to identify the relationship between the polyphenolic derivatives profile and their antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. Extracts were obtained using water and 25%, 50%, and 70% ethanolic solutions (w/w), at 2:1, 4:1, and 6:1 liquid: solid ratios (w/w). 21 polyphenolic derivatives were quantified by UHPLC-MS, proving that the extracts composition strongly depends on the solvent. The sum of quantified polyphenolics extracted varied between 1.5 and 91.2 mg/g propolis. The antioxidant capacity was evaluated using the free radicals 2,2’-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6 sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) and 1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging methods. Antimicrobial efficiency was tested against Gram-positive (B. subtilis), Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli), and fungi (C. albicans) by disc-diffusion method. All extracts, even the aqueous ones, demonstrated antibacterial and antifungal activity. Chemometric methods (partial least squares) and a saturation-type model were used to evaluate the contribution of various bioactive principles in building the antioxidant capacity of extracts. Both experimental and modelling results show that 50% ethanolic extracts provide a rich polyphenolics profile and ensure a good antioxidant capacity.
