In effort to combat environmental pollution, improve animal production and avoid drug residue, producers have resorted to the use of phytobiotics to inhibit ammonia producing microbes in the gut. Freshly harvested Azadirachta indica, Carica papaya, Saccharum officinarum, Chromolaena odorata, Eucalyptus camadulensis and Mangifera indica leaves were air dried, blended and extracted using five concentrations of solvent (100% water, 70% water + 30% methanol, 50% water + 50% methanol, 30% water + 70% methanol and 100% methanol). The antibacterial activities of the extracts and antibiotics (doxycycline) as control, were tested according to standard procedures against both gram positive (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus) and gram negative (Escherichia coli, Vibrio cholerae) ammonia producing bacteria. In most cases, it was observed that the inhibitory effect of methanolic extracts of Azadirachta indica, Carica papaya, Saccharum officinarum, Chromolaena odorata, Eucalyptus camadulensis and Mangifera indica leaves were not significantly different from that of synthetic antibiotics, doxycycline, when tested against the test bacteria, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Vibrio cholera. However, leave extracts showed significantly better inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli than the antibiotic drug. It can be concluded, therefore, that the leaf extracts of Azadirachta indica, Carica papaya, Saccharum officinarum, Chromolaena odorata, Eucalyptus camadulensis and Mangifera indica can serve as alternative to synthetic drugs in animal production due to their effective actions against microbial organisms.

Taking monascin as the research object, monascin was extracted from red kojic rice by ethanol extraction and extracted with 60%, 70% and 80% ethanol respectively. Finally, it was concluded that when the concentration of ethanol was 70%, the extraction rate of monascin was the highest, reached 75.68%. The bacteriostatic experiments of monascin extract and monascin fermentation showed that it had strong inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis, weak inhibitory ability on Escherichia coli and Aspergillus niger, and no obvious inhibitory effect on the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Background: [1, 3, 4]oxadiazolenone core containing chalcones and nucleosides were synthesized by Claisen-Schmidt condensation of a variety of benzaldehyde derivatives, obtained from oxidation of substituted 5-(3/6 substituted-4-Methylphenyl)-1, 3, 4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-one and various substituted acetophenone. The resultant chalcones were coupled with penta-O-acetylglucopyranose followed by deacetylation to get [1, 3, 4] oxadiazolenone core containing chalcones and nucleosides. Various analytical techniques viz IR, NMR, LC-MS and elemental analysis were used to confirm the structure of the synthesised compounds.The compounds were targeted against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli for antibacterial activity and Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger and Fusarium oxysporum for antifungal activity. Methods: A mixture of Acid hydrazides (3.0 mmol) and N, Nʹ- carbonyl diimidazole (3.3 mmol) in 15 mL of dioxane was refluxed to afford substituted [1, 3, 4]-oxadiazole-2(3H)-one. The resulted [1, 3, 4]- oxadiazole-2(3H)-one (1.42 mmol) was oxidized with Chromyl chloride (1.5 mL) in 20 mL of carbon tetra chloride and condensed with acetophenones (1.42 mmol) to get chalcones 4. The equimolar ratio of obtained chalcones 4 and β -D-1,2,3,4,6- penta-O-acetylglucopyranose in presence of iodine was refluxed to get nucleosides 5. The [1, 3, 4] oxadiazolenone core containing chalcones 4 and nucleosides 5 were tested to determined minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value with the experimental procedure of Benson using disc-diffusion method. All compounds were tested at concentration of 5 mg/mL, 2.5 mg/mL, 1.25 mg/mL, 0.62 mg/mL, 0.31 mg/mL and 0.15 mg/mL for antifungal activity against three strains of pathogenic fungi Aspergillus flavus (A. flavus), Aspergillus niger (A. niger) and Fusarium oxysporum (F. oxysporum) and for antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacterium: Escherichia coli (E. coli), and two Gram-positive bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Bacillus subtilis(B. subtilis). Result: The chalcones 4 and nucleosides 5 were screened for antibacterial activity against E. coli, S. aureus and B. subtilis whereas antifungal activity against A. flavus, A. niger and F. oxysporum. Compounds 4a-t showed good antibacterial activity whereas compounds 5a-t containing glucose moiety showed better activity against fungi. The glucose moiety of compounds 5 helps to enter into the cell wall of fungi and control the cell growth. Conclusion: Chalcones 4 and nucleosides 5 incorporating [1, 3, 4] oxadiazolenone core were synthesized and characterized by various spectral techniques and elemental analysis. These compounds were evaluated for their antifungal activity against three fungi; viz. A. flavus, A. niger and F. oxysporum. In addition to this, synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial activity against gram negative bacteria E. Coli and gram positive bacteria S. aureus, B. subtilis. Compounds 4a-t showed good antibacterial activity whereas 5a-t showed better activity against fungi.

Two new bis-Schiff bases containing a piperazine ring, N,N‘-bis(4-chlorobenzylidene)- and N,N‘-bis(4-cyanobenzylidene)-1,4-bis(3-aminopropyl)piperazine, were prepared by the reaction of N,N‘-bis(3-aminopropyl)piperazine with 4-chloro- and 4-cyanobenzaldehyde, respectively. The dichloro compound was fully identified by X-ray crystallography and it exhibited good antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis.

Bakteri dapat menjadi penyebab utama berbagai gangguan kesehatan, seperti gangguan pencernaan, diare dan penyakit kulit. Biji papaya pepaya (Carica papaya L.) telah terbukti secara empiris dapat mengatasi berbagai gangguan tersebut. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui perbandingan aktivitas antibakteri ekstrak etanol biji pepaya (Carica papaya L.) terhadap bakteri Escherichia coli (ATCC 10536) dan bakteri Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 29737). Pembuatan ekstrak dilakukan dengan cara maserasi menggunakan pelarut etanol 80%. Skrining fitokimia dilakukan terhadap simplisia dan ekstrak biji pepaya. Metode pengujian yang dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode difusi agar dengan punch hole. Hasil skrining fitokimia pada ekstrak etanol menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak dari biji pepaya mengandung flavonoid, glikosida, saponin, tanin dan alkaloid. Perbandingan aktivitas antibakteri pada ekstrak etanol biji pepaya pada konsentrasi 500 mg/mL menunjukkan lebih efektif untuk menghambat perkembangan bakteri Staphylococcus aureus dengan daya hambat sebesar 16,5 mm dibandingkan terhadap bakteri Escherichia coli yang daya hambatnya hanya sebesar 15,7 mm.

Lactoferrina bovina (bLF), proveniente do soro de leite, foimicroencapsulada pela técnica de spray drying. Microcápsulascontendo 20 % de bLF foram produzidas, utilizando-se comomaterial de parede dextrina: amido octenilsuccinato (OSA) emdiferentes proporções: 100:00, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75 e 0:100 %.Foram avaliadas a cor e a estabilidade de cor das microcápsulassob armazenamento em ambientes com diferentes umidadesrelativas e a atividade antimicrobiana da lactoferrina liberadadas microcápsulas. As microcápsulas apresentaram cor clara etenderam a escurecer sob armazenamento em ambiente com altaumidade relativa. Verifi cou-se atividade inibitória das microcápsulasde bLF produzidas para diferentes bactérias Gram positivas(Bacillus subtilis CCT 2576, Staphylococcus aureus CCT 2740,Micrococcus luteus CCT 2692, Enterococcus faecium CCT 5079,Streptococcus faecium ATCC 10541, Rhodococcus equi CCT0541), Gram negativas (Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 13388,Salmonella choleraesius CCT 4296, Escherichia coli CCT 0547) elevedura (Candida albicans ATCC 10231). A concentração inibitóriamínima (MIC) das microcápsulas variou de acordo com o microorganismotestado (MIC entre 2,5-100 mg.mL-1). Com exceção deB. subtilis (MIC entre 50-100 mg.mL-1 para as microcápsulas), aconcentração de bLF contida nas microcápsulas necessária parainibir o crescimento dos micro-organismos foi menor do que a bLFnativa. Esses resultados sugerem efeito de potencialização daatividade antimicrobiana da bLF após o processamento por spraydrying.
