Abstract
Antibiotic resistance associated with various microorganisms such as Gram-positive, Gram-negative, fungal strains, and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis increases the risk of healthcare survival. Preliminary therapeutics becoming ineffective that might lead to noteworthy mortality presents a crucial challenge for the scientific community. Hence, there is an urgent need to develop hybrid compounds as antimicrobial agents by combining two or more bioactive heterocyclic moieties into a single molecular framework with fewer side effects and a unique mode of action. This review highlights the recent advances (2013-2023) in the pharmacology of rhodanine-linked quinoline hybrids as more effective antimicrobial agents. In the drug development process, linker hybrids acquire the top position due to their excellent π-stacking and Van der Waals interaction with the DNA active sites of pathogens. A molecular hybridization strategy has been optimized, indicating that combining these two bioactive moieties with an arylidene and an amino spacer linker increases the antimicrobial potential and reduces drug resistance. Moreover, the structure-activity relationship study is discussed to express the role of various functional groups in improving and decrementing antimicrobial activities for rational drug design. Also, a linker approach may accelerate the development of dynamic antimicrobial agents through molecular hybridization.

Abstract
Since the first natural carbazole alkaloid, murrayanine, was isolated from Mwraya Spreng, carbazole alkaloid derivatives have been widely concerned for their anti-tumor, anti-viral and anti-bacterial activities. In recent decades, a growing body of data suggest that carbazole alkaloids and their derivatives have different biological activities. This is the first comprehensive description of the antifungal and antibacterial activities of carbazole alkaloids in the past decade (2012-2022), including natural and partially synthesized carbazole alkaloids in the past decade. Finally, the challenges and problems faced by this kind of alkaloids are summarized. This paper will be helpful for further exploration of this kind of alkaloids.

Abstract
A "building block" is a key component that plays a substantial and critical function in the pharmaceutical research and development industry. Given its structural versatility and ability to undergo substitutions at both the amino and carboxyl groups, para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) is a commonly used building block in pharmaceuticals. Therefore, it is great for the development of a wide range of novel molecules with potential medical applications. Anticancer, anti-Alzheimer's, antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties have been observed in PABA compounds, suggesting their potential as therapeutic agents in future clinical trials. PABA-based therapeutic chemicals as molecular targets and their usage in biological processes are the primary focus of this review study. PABA's unique features make it a strong candidate for inclusion in a massive chemical database of molecules having drug-like effects. Based on the current literature, further investigation is needed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PABA derivatives in clinical investigations and better understand the specific mechanism of action revealed by these compounds.

Abstract
Microbial infection is a leading cause of death worldwide, resulting in around 1.2 million deaths annually. Due to this, medicinal chemists are continuously searching for new or improved alternatives to combat microbial infections. Among many nitrogen-containing heterocycles, carbazole derivatives have shown significant biological activities, of which its antimicrobial and antifungal activities are the most studied. In this review, miscellaneous carbazole derivatives and their antimicrobial activity are discussed (articles published from 1999 to 2022).

Abstract
In this study, a newly-designed diamine (DA) containing pyridine and carbazole groups was synthesized and the relevant polyamides (PAs) and polyimides (PIs) were prepared by polymerization reaction between the DA monomer and terephthalic acid, adipic acid, and pyromellitic dianhydride. In addition, polymer nanocomposites were prepared through a combination of the synthesized polymers with modified magnetite iron oxide nanoparticles. The synthesized compounds were fully characterized by hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance (1HNMR), fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), field emitting scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-Ray (EDX), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) analyses. All of the synthesized properties of compounds such as thermal stability, viscosity, elimination capability of heavy metals ions adsorption, and antibacterial activity were investigated. Polyamides and PI showed good solubility in aprotic solvents and the viscosity was in the range of 0.72–0.89 dL/g. Also, the glass-transition temperature (Tg) of synthetic polymers was in the range of 214–273°C and 10% weight loss temperatures (T10%) for the synthesized compounds were in the temperature range of 280–492°C in N2, and the percentage of residual ash between 61 and 74%. The adsorption rate of Hg2+, Co2+, Pb2+, Cr2+, and Cd2+ metal ions by PA containing terephthalic acid (PAT) and its nanocomposite (NCPAT) showed that nanocomposite has a better performance compared to PAT. The highest and lowest removal efficiency was related to Hg2+ and Pb2+ ion, respectively. Finally, antibacterial test results against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria showed favorable inhibitory effects of all the synthesized polymers.
