Curcumin, a phytochemical from turmeric, and its derivatives have been extensively investigated from both chemical and biological strategies. However, the main problem encountered while using curcumin in clinical trials is its poor solubility and rapid degradation, resulting in its low levels in tissues, thus decreasing the medicinal effect of curcumin. To overcome these problems several synthetic approaches have been carried out to prepare new derivatives possessing better properties. Curcumin as a β-diketone ligand can act as chelating ligands toward a variety of metals to form stable complexes. Some studies showed that a metal-curcumin complex displayed potential medicinal activities. In this work, a copper(II)-curcumin complex was synthesized in a two-step procedure: (i) curcumin was separated from commercial turmeric powder using chromatography techniques and (ii) the copper(II) chloride (1 eq.) and pure curcumin (2 eq.) were mixed together in ethanol. The mixture was stirred at 60 oC for 3 hours to afford a stoichiometric copper(II)-curcumin complex.  The curcumin ligand and its copper(II) complex were characterized by UV-Vis, IR, NMR spectroscopic methods, from which it was found that copper atoms are coordinated through keto-enol groups of two curcumin molecules. The ground state spectral features of the copper(II)-curcumin complex were consistent with that of the 1:2 copper(II)-curcumin complex. The antibacterial activities of curcumin ligand and its complex were evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538) using a well diffusion method on nutrient agar. The results showed that the inhibitory activity was not observed for free curcumin at any concentrations while the copper(II)-curcumin complex exhibited the inhibition zones (mm) of 7.8, 11.6 and 14.9 at various concentrations (mg/mL) of 1.0, 5.0 and 15.0, respectively.

Objective: To isolate and characterize novel actinomycetes and to evaluate their antibacterial activity against drug-resistant pathogenic bacteriaMethods: In the present study, 19 soil samples were collected from different localities of Ad-Dawadmi, Saudi Arabia. Actinomycetes were isolated from these samples using serial dilution and plating method on Actinomycetes isolation agar supplemented with nalidixic acid and actidione to inhibit bacteria and fungi. Crude extracts of potential actinomycetes were produced by submerged fermentation. The antimicrobial activity of crude extracts of actinomycetes was tested against different bacteria using the agar well diffusion method. Characterization of the isolates was done by morphological, physiological and biochemical methods.Results: A total of 9 (47%) isolates of actinomycetes were isolated from 19 different soil samples tested. Among them, 4 (44%) isolates confirmed as Streptomyces sp. showed potential antimicrobial activity against one or more test organisms. Crude extracts were made from these 4 actinomycetes isolates(DOM1, DOM3, DP3, DP4)and tested for their antibacterial activities against 4 different clinical bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus). Crude extract from DP3 isolate showed highest antibacterial activity against all the four test organisms (28 mm, 21 mm, 20 mm and 18 mm) respectively and DP4 showed lowest antibacterial activity against all the four test organisms (14 mm, 12 mm, 0 mm, 6 mm) respectively. The highest zone of inhibition was shown by DP3 against Staphylococcus aureus (28 mm) and Escherichia coli was resistant for DP4. Most of the Inhibition zones produced by crude extracts showed significant differences when compared with control, tested against test organisms (P<0.05). Inhibition zones produced by DP3 and DOM1 against Staphylococcus aureus were 28 mm and 23 mm, respectively which were strong active when compared with control Ciprofloxacin (18 mm).Conclusion: Further studies for purification of bioactive metabolites and molecular characterization analysis of isolated Streptomyces sp. are in progress which would be helpful in discovering novel compounds of commercial value.

Abstract Background Plant secondary metabolites and phytochemicals that exhibit strong bioactivities have potential to be developed as safe and efficient natural antimicrobials against food contamination and addressing antimicrobial resistance caused by the overuse of chemical synthetic preservative. In this study, the chemical composition, antibacterial activities and related mechanism of the extracts of the valonia and the shell of Quercus variabilis Blume were studied to determine its potential as a safe and efficient natural antimicrobial. Methods The phenolic compositions of valonia and shell extracts were determined by folin-ciocalteau colourimetric method, sodium borohydride/chloranil-based assay and the aluminium chloride method and then further identified by the reverse-phase HPLC analysis. The antibacterial activities of valonia and shell extracts were evaluated by the agar disk diffusion method and agar dilution method. The related antibacterial mechanism was explored successively by the membrane of pathogens effect, phosphorous metabolism, whole-cell proteins and the microbial morphology under scanning electron microscopy. Results The n-butanol fraction and water fraction of valonia along with n-butanol fraction of the shell contains enrich phenolics including ellagic acid, theophylline, caffeic acid and tannin acid. The n-butanol fraction and ethanol crude extracts of valonia exhibited strong antibacterial activities against Salmonella paratyphi A (S. paratyphi A) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) with the DIZ values ranged from 10.89 ± 0.12 to 15.92 ± 0.44, which were greater than that of the Punica granatum (DIZ: 10.22 ± 0.18 and 10.30 ± 0.21). The MIC values of the n-butanol fraction and ethanol crude extracts of valonia against S. paratyphi A and S. aureus were 1.25 mg/ml and 0.625 mg/ml. The related antibacterial mechanism of n-butanol fraction and ethanol crude extracts of valonia may be attributed to their strong impact on membrane permeability and cellular metabolism. Those extracts exhibited strong antibacterial activity according to inhibit the synthesis of bacterial proteins and seriously change morphological structure of bacterial cells. Conclusions The n-butanol fraction and ethanol crude extracts of valonia had reasonably good antibacterial activities against S. paratyphi A and S. aureus. This study suggests possible application of valonia and shell as natural antimicrobials or preservatives for food and medical application.

The main ingredients of roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) which have antioxidant and antibacterial effect were anthocyanins, and flavonoids. Flavonoid compounds were unstable at high temperatures. Meanwhile, the processing of roselle extract powder into ready-to drink or food preparations generally requires the thermal processes. The aims of this study were to determine the effect of temperature and heating time of roselle extract powder solution on the inhibition of microbial growth of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923. The method of this study uses a ready-to- process roselle powder extract sample. The roselle extract powder solution in a screw cap tube was heated at a temperature of 40°C, 50°C, 60°C, 70°C, 80°C, and 90°C on a waterbath, with heating times at each temperature were 15 minutes and 30 minutes. Anti bacterial activity of the sample solution was measured based on the ability to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 by the agar-well diffusion method. The inhibition zone of the sample was measured by caliper. The result of this study showed that inhibition zones caused by the sample that had been heated at those temperature for 15 minutes were 9.55±0.70 mm, 9.53 ±0.04 mm, 9.70±0.14 mm, 9.68±0.24 mm, 10.10±0.14 mm, and 10.25±0.21 mm. Meanwhile, after heating for 30 minutes the inhibition zones were 10.08±0.25 mm, 10.20±0.28 mm, 10.43±0.18 mm, 10.08±0.18 mm, 10.78±0.04 mm, 9.70±0.14 mm. Two ways statistical test ANOVA Randomized Control Block Design with 95% confidence level was used to prove that there was a significant difference berween the mean inhibition zones of each sample. The conclution of this research was, the temperature in the range of 40 -90 oC has no effect on the anti-bacterial activity of the sample. However, the heating time of the sample affected the antibacterial activity of the roselle extract powder solution against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923.

The antibacterial activity of aqueous and 95% ethanol extracts of nettle leaf was tested against some Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria isolated from hospitalized patients by the agar well diffusion method. Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., Bacillus Subtillus, Proteus spp. Salmonella spp. and Pseudomonas spp. were used. The results indicate that both extracts showed different antibacterial activities which were in favor of ethanolic extract because of more solubility of active ingredient in ethanol than in water. Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus Subtillus, and Salmonella spp. showed the highest susceptibility to nettle extracts antibacterial effect, while E coli, Pseudomonas and Proteus were less susceptible. The only clear resistant bacteria isolate was Klebsiella spp.
