Background: Throughout history pathogenic microorganisms cause infectious diseases. Medicinal herbs play an important role in human life because they are used for the therapy and production of herbal remedies. Therefore, it is relevant to study the antibacterial activity of medicinal herbs including Artemisia L. species. Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial and antifungal activity of Artemisia L. species extracts and to identify their synergistic antimicrobial effects with erythromycin against skin isolates of Staphylococcus aureus with different mechanisms of MLS-resistance. Materials and methods: Artemisia absinthium L. herb extracts (AAs-4, AAs-7, AAs-9), Artemisia vulgaris L. herb extracts (AV-4, AV-7, AV-9) and Artemisia abrotanum L. herb extracts (AAr-4, AAr-7, AAr-9) were used in this study (solvents – 40%, 70% and 90% ethyl alcohol respectively). The determination of antimicrobial activity of extracts was performed using clinical isolates of antibiotic susceptible and antibiotic resistant microorganisms. Bacterial cultures were identified on the basis of the biochemical microtests “STAPHYtest 16”, “ENTEROtest 24”, “NEFERMENTtest 24” taking into account the complex of their morphological and cultural properties in accordance with the recommendations of the 9th edition of “Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology”. Yeast-like fungi cultures were identified on the basis of 40 biochemical tests with the help of the VITEK 2 system using the VITEK 2 YST ID card. The synergism of the antimicrobial activity of extracts with erythromycin was investigated using the clinical isolate of Staphylococcus aureus with the non-inductive MLS-resistance mechanism (resistant to erythromycin at minimum bacteriostatic concentration of 125 μg/ml and minimum bactericidal concentration of 250 μg/ml without induction of resistance to clindamycin). Research results: The evaluation of Artemisia L. herb extracts activity was carried out using standard strains of microorganisms which are recommended by the WHO. The results of the conducted studies indicate that Artemisia L. herb extracts are able to reduce the growth of microorganisms. The investigated extracts showed the potent bacteriostatic action against the cocci or rod-shaped microflora. The antimicrobial activity of Artemisia L. herb extracts directly depends on the concentration of ethanol as the solvent. Artemisia vulgaris L. herb extracts (solvents – 70% and 90% ethanol) and Artemisia abrotanum L. herb extract (solvent – 90% ethanol) show synergism of antimicrobial activity with erythromycin in relation to Staphylococcus aureus with efflux mechanism of MLS-resistance. The obtained Artemisia L. herb extracts can be used to create antifungal drugs, as well as antimicrobial drugs (against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria).

Background. The investigation of volatile oils used in traditional medicine is vital to enhance the quality of healthcare. This study is aimed at screening the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of Micromeria fruticosa serpyllifolia volatile oils from three different regions in Palestine (north, middle, and south). Methods. Volatile oils of three samples of M. fruticosa serpyllifolia were extracted using the microwave-ultrasonic apparatus. The antioxidant activity of the volatile oils was assessed by inhibition of DPPH free radical. The antimicrobial activity was examined using the broth microdilution method. Assessment of antifungal activity was achieved using the agar dilution method. Results. Screening the biological activity of plant extracts revealed that the sample from Ramallah (middle region) possessed the most potent antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 0.45 μg/mL. The three samples exhibited broad antimicrobial activity and showed potential antifungal activity. The sample from the southern region showed the highest potency against Shigella sonnei with the lowest reported MIC; the sample from the northern region demonstrated the least potency against clinical isolate of Staphylococcus aureus and “methicillin”-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Conclusions. The study showed that Micromeria fruticosa serpyllifolia volatile oil samples from different regions in Palestine possess different potential antioxidant and antimicrobial activities that were in line with traditional uses of the plant extracts.

AbstractFour water soluble azo dyes, 4-(isopropyl)-2-[(E)-(4-chlorophenyl)diazenyl]phenol (L 1), 4-(isopropyl)-2-[(E)-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)diazenyl]phenol (L2), 4-(sec-butyl)-2-[(E)-(4-chlorophenyl) diazenyl]phenol (L 3), 4-(sec-butyl)-2-[(E)-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)diazenyl]phenol (L 4), and their Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes were synthesized and characterized using spectroscopic methods. Examination of their thermal stability revealed similar decomposition temperature of approximately 260–300°C and that they were more thermally stable than their metal complexes. Ni(II) complexes of ligands L2 and L4 were more stable than the other coordination compounds. Among the synthesized ligands, L2 and the complexes Cu(L3)2 and Ni(L4)2 showed both antimicrobial and antifungal activity. However, the other ligands and the complexes were poorly active against selected microorganisms.

The achievements of the world organic chemistry are most clearly represented by scientific publications that prove the promising nature of heterocyclic substances. The possibility of combining various pharmacophore fragments and 1,2,4-triazole in one molecule is quite popular. In 2018, the drug Trifuzol-NEO appeared on the veterinary market of Ukraine, which took its rightful place among synthetic immunomodulators for various groups of unproductive animals. So, further studies of new promising compounds among substituted 1,2,4-triazole, which can be used as objects for the creation of new original domestic antimicrobial and antifungal agents, remains relevant and has theoretical and practical significance. The aim of our work was to investigate the antimicrobial and antifungal activity of a number of new fluorophenyl-containing derivatives of 1,2,4-triazole and, in some cases, to trace the presence of certain patterns between structure and action. The sensitivity of new fluorophenyl-containing derivatives of 1,2.4-triazole was studied by the method of serial dilutions in accordance with the methodological recommendations. From the initial concentration of the new synthesized compounds of 1 mg/ml, a series of two-fold serial dilutions were prepared in Mueller–Hinton broth in a volume of 1 ml. Then, 0.1 ml of microbial curtain (106 m. c./ml) was added to each tube. MIC (MIC) was determined in the absence of visible growth in a test tube with the minimum concentration of the drug, the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBcK) – in the absence of growth on agar after inoculation from transparent tubes. Dimethyl sulfoxide was used as a solvent for the compounds in the studies. The research was carried out at the Department of Microbiology, Virology and Immunology of Zaporizhzhia State Medical University. Analyzing the results of studying the sensitivity of substances to Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, it should be noted that almost all compounds were active against the bacteria. It should be noted that a number of compounds were found to be the most active against Staphylococcus aureus, and 5-(2-fluorophenyl)-4-(((5-nitrofuran-2-yl)methylene)amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols generally exceeded several times the activity indices of the reference drug (MIC 1.95 μg/ml, MBcK 3.9 μg/ml) to Staphylococcus aureus. Most of the compounds were found to be quite active against Candida albicans. Among the corresponding 5-(2-fluorophenyl)-4-((aryl)ylidene)amino-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols, the highest activity for Candida albicans exhibit 5-(2-fluorophenyl) -4-((4-bromophenyl)ylidene)amino-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol and 5-(2-fluorophenyl)-4-((2,3-dimethoxyphenyl)ylidene)amino-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol. It was found that most of the compounds exhibit a moderate antimicrobial and a fairly high antifungal effect. The most sensitive strain was S. aureus in relation to 5-(2-fluorophenyl)-4-(((5-nitrofurans-2-yl)methylene)amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol, Candida albicans proved to be very sensitive to 5-(2-fluorophenyl)-4-((4-bromophenyl)ylidene)amino-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol and 5-(2-fluorophenyl)-4((2,3-dimethoxyphenyl)ylidene)amino-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol.

Background.Phrynops geoffroanusis a small turtle that inhabits lakes, rivers, and streams throughout South America. The body fat of this animal is used as a folk medicine in Brazil for treating illnesses such as sore throats, ear aches, mumps, rheumatism, and arthritis. The present study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of oil extracted fromPhrynops geoffroanus(OPG), determined its chemical composition, and discussed the implications of its use in traditional medicine. The OPG was obtained from the ventral region of this turtle using hexane as a solvent. The antimicrobial activity of OPG was tested against standard and multiresistance strains of bacteria and fungi and its composition was determined indirectly by analyzing the methyl esters of the component fatty acids. The OPG presented a clinically relevant antifungal activity againstCandida kruseiATCC 6258 (MIC 128 µg/mL). When the OPG was associated with the antibacterial and antifungal drugs, was observed a synergistic effect when associated the OPG with the gentamicin against the strainPseudomonas aeruginosa22. Our results indicated that OPG has clinically relevant antifungal activity againstC. krusei, and demonstrated synergetic antibacterial activity in combination with commercial antibiotics againstPseudomonas aeruginosa.

We report our investigations into the underlying differences between 1,2,3-dithiazole and their ultra-rare counterpart, 1,2,3-thiaselenazole. This rare 1,2,3-thiaselenazole chemotype was afforded by sulfur extrusion and selenium insertion into the preconstructed 1,2,3-dithiazoles. We built a library of matched paired compounds to compare and contrast the two ring systems. This led to the development of both narrow and broad-spectrum antimicrobial compounds with sub-micro molar potency, limited to no toxicity and a further understanding of the transition state electronics through molecular simulations. We also identified the potent 4,5,6-trichlorocyclopenta[d][1,2,3]thiaselenazole 11a, for use against Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii, Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter baumannii, all of which have limited clinical treatment options. The 1,2,3-thiaselenazole represents a new class of potential compounds for the treatment of a host of multi-resistant hospital derived infections.

Increased problems associated with side effects and bacterial resistance of chemical drugs has prompted the research focus on herbal medicines in the past few decades. In the present investigation, the antimicrobial activity of the various parts of Avicennia marina (AM), a mangrove plant, has been evaluated. The plants were collected from the Jazan area of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Primary extracts of roots, stem, leaves, fruits, and seeds were made in ethanol and fractioned in ethanol, ethyl acetate, petroleum ether, chloroform, and water. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) of the extracts were determined against Bacillussubtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus. It has been observed that the chloroform extract of roots of the AM exhibited inhibitory effects against both S. aureus (MIC = 1.5 ± 0.03 mg/mL) and E. coli (MIC = 1.7 ± 0.01 mg/mL). The ethanolic extract of the AM roots has shown antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MIC = 10.8 ± 0.78 mg/mL), Bacillussubtilis (MIC = 6.1 ± 0.27 mg/mL), Staphylococcus aureus (MIC = 2.3 ± 0.08 mg/mL), and Escherichia coli (MIC = 6.3 ± 0.28 mg/mL). The leaf extract of the AM in ethyl acetate showed antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli. Antifungal activity of these extracts was also investigated against Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans. Ethanolic extract of roots and seeds of the AM has shown antifungal activity against Aspergillus fumigatus when applied individually. Ethanolic extract of the AM fruits has shown an inhibitory effect on the growth of Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans. It is suggested that the plant extracts of AM have tremendous antimicrobial activity against a group of microbes, and this effect depends on both the plant part and the solvent used for extraction. Therefore, this plant can be considered to treat various diseases caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
