The present study was aimed at the development of topical gel of extract of Mangifera indica L. seed kernel and evaluation of its in vitro antibacterial activity. Various extracts using different solvents were prepared and evaluated for in vitro activity against Propionibacterium acnes. Ethanolic extract of M. indica L. seed kernel exhibited the highest in vitro antimicrobial activity and was considered further. Topical gels of this ethanolic extract were prepared using different polymers such as Carbopol 974P, Xanatural 180 and Methocel K15M in varying concentrations. The topical gel of 10 % w/w ethanolic extract of M. indica L. seed kernel with 2% w/w Carbopol 974P was uniform and yellowish transparent with satisfactory spreadability. The developed gel showed greater in vitro antimicrobial activity as compared to marketed herbal cream. These results indicate the potential of topical gel of ethanolic extract M. indica L. seed kernel as anti-acne formulation developed from plant waste product.

Background: The Lamiaceae (Labiatae) is one of the most diverse and widespread plant families’ in terms of ethno medicine and its medicinal value is based on the volatile oils concentration. This family is important for flavour, fragrance and medicinal properties. Manyplants belonging to this family have indigenous value. Method: The essential oil of Plectranthus gerardianusBenth. (Lamiaceae), was analysed by GC and GC-MS analysis, while the major component was isolated and conformed by NMR spectroscopy. Result: The oil was found to be rich in oxygenated monoterpenes, which contribute around 62% of the total oil. The major components identified were fenchone (22.90%) and carvenone oxide (16.75%), besides other mono and sesquiterpenoids. The in-vitro antimicrobial activity of essential oil was tested against three gram negative bacteria viz. Pasteurellamultocida, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella enterica, two gram positive bacteria viz. Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis and two fungi viz. Candida albicans and Aspergillusflavus. The antimicrobial activity of the oil was also compared to the antimicrobial activity of leaf essential oil of another Himalayan plant viz. Nepetacoerulescens. Conclusion: The oil showed in-vitro antimicrobial activity against all the microbial strains and can lessen the ever-growing demand of potentially hazardous antibiotics for treatment.

We report here an easy, efficient and green synthetic protocol for the (E)-1-aryl-3-(2-morpholinoquinolin-3-yl)prop-2-en-1-ones by the Claisen-Schmidt condensation of 2-morpholinoquinoline-3-carbaldehyde and different substituted acetophenones by using 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (Bmim)BF4. The compounds were characterized by using 1H NMR, 13C NMR and mass spectral data and screened there in vitro antimicrobial activity against different bacterial and fungal organisms.

Bacterial infections, especially those caused by strains resistant to commonly used antibiotics and chemotherapeutics, are still a current threat to public health. Therefore, the search for new molecules with potential antimicrobial activity is an important research goal. In this article, we present the synthesis and evaluation of the in vitro antimicrobial activity of a series of 15 new derivatives of 4-methyl-1,2,3-thiadiazole-5-carboxylic acid. The potential antimicrobial effect of the new compounds was observed mainly against Gram-positive bacteria. Compound 15, with the 5-nitro-2-furoyl moiety, showed the highest bioactivity: minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) = 1.95–15.62 µg/mL and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC)/MIC = 1–4 µg/mL.
