Abstract
Bacterial infections are among the most significant causes of death in humans. Chronic misuse or uncontrolled use of antibiotics promotes the emergence of multidrug-resistant superbugs that threaten public health through the food chain and cause environmental pollution. Based on the above considerations, copper selenide nanosheets (CuSe NSs) with photothermal therapy (PTT)- and photodynamic therapy (PDT)-related properties have been fabricated. These CuSe NSs possess enhanced PDT-related properties and can convert O2 into highly toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can cause significant oxidative stress and damage to bacteria. In addition, CuSe NSs can efficiently consume glutathione (GSH) at bacterial infection sites, thus further enhancing their sterilization efficacy. In vitro antibacterial experiments with near-infrared (NIR) irradiation have shown that CuSe NSs have excellent photothermal bactericidal properties. These experiments also showed that CuSe NSs exerted excellent bactericidal effects on wounds infected with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and significantly promoted the healing of infected wounds. Because of their superior biological safety, CuSe NSs are novel copper-based antimicrobial agents that are expected to enter clinical trials, serving as a modern approach to the major problem of treating bacterially infected wounds.

Abstract
Schiff bases of existing antimicrobial drugs are an area, which is still to be comprehensively explored to improve drug efficiency against consistently resisting bacterial species. In this study, we have targeted a new and eco-friendly method of condensation reaction that allows the "green synthesis" as well as improved biological efficacy. The transition metal complexes of cefpodoxime with well-enhanced biological activities were synthesized. The condensation reaction product of cefpodoxime and vanillin was further reacted with suitable metal salts of [Mn (II), Cu (II), Fe (II), Zn (II), and Ni (II)] with 1:2 molar ratio (metal: ligand). The characterization of all the products were carried out by using UV-Visible, elemental analyzer, FTIR, 1H-NMR, ICP-OES, and LC-MS. Electronic data obtained by UV-Visible proved the octahedral geometry of metal complexes. The biological activities Schiff base ligand and its transition metal complexes were tested by using in-vitro anti-bacterial analysis against various Gram-negative, as well as Gram-positive bacterial strains. Proteinase and protein denaturation inhibition assays were utilized to evaluate the products in-vitro anti-inflammatory activities. The in vitro antioxidant activity of the ligand and its complexes was evaluated by utilizing the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) in-vitro method. The final results proved metal complexes to be more effective against bacterial microorganisms as compared to respective parent drug as well as their free ligands. Patch Dock, a molecular docking tool, was used to dock complexes 1a-5e with the crystal structure of GlcN-6-P synthase (ID: 1MOQ). According to the docking results, complex 2b exhibited a highest score (8,882; ACE = -580.43 kcal/mol) that is well correlated with a high inhibition as compared to other complexes which corresponds to the antibacterial screening outcomes.

Abstract
Through the advancement of nanotechnology, agricultural and food systems are undergoing strategic enhancements, offering innovative solutions to complex problems. This scholarly essay thoroughly examines nanotechnological innovations and their implications within these critical industries. Traditional practices are undergoing radical transformation as nanomaterials emerge as novel agents in roles traditionally filled by fertilizers, pesticides, and biosensors. Micronutrient management and preservation techniques are further enhanced, indicating a shift towards more nutrient-dense and longevity-oriented food production. Nanoparticles (NPs), with their unique physicochemical properties, such as an extraordinary surface-to-volume ratio, find applications in healthcare, diagnostics, agriculture, and other fields. However, concerns about their potential overuse and bioaccumulation raise unanswered questions about their health effects. Molecule-to-molecule interactions and physicochemical dynamics create pathways through which nanoparticles cause toxicity. The combination of nanotechnology and environmental sustainability principles leads to the examination of green nanoparticle synthesis. The discourse extends to how nanomaterials penetrate biological systems, their applications, toxicological effects, and dissemination routes. Additionally, this examination delves into the ecological consequences of nanomaterial contamination in natural ecosystems. Employing robust risk assessment methodologies, including the risk allocation framework, is recommended to address potential dangers associated with nanotechnology integration. Establishing standardized, universally accepted guidelines for evaluating nanomaterial toxicity and protocols for nano-waste disposal is urged to ensure responsible stewardship of this transformative technology. In conclusion, the article summarizes global trends, persistent challenges, and emerging regulatory strategies shaping nanotechnology in agriculture and food science. Sustained, in-depth research is crucial to fully benefit from nanotechnology prospects for sustainable agriculture and food systems.

Abstract
This investigation was designed and performed to compare the phytochemical profiling, activities of antibacterial, thrombolytic, anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxicity of methanol extract (ME-E) and aqueous extract (AQ-E) of aerial parts of Achyranthes aspera through in-vitro approach. Also characterize the functional groups of bioactive compounds in the ME-E through Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis. Interestingly, qualitative phytochemical screening proved that the ME-E contain more number of vital phytochemicals such as phenolics. saponins, tannins, alkaloids, flavonoids, cardiac glycosides, steroids, and phlobatannins than AQ-E. Similarly, the ME-E showed notable antibacterial activity as dose dependent manner against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa at 1000 μg mL-1 concentration. ME-E also showed 75.2 ± 2% of clot lysis (thrombolytic activity) at 1000 μg mL-1 dosage and it followed by AQ-E 51.24 ± 3%. The ME-E showed moderate and AQ-E demonstrate poor anti-inflammatory activity evidenced by albumin denaturation inhibition and anti-lipoxygenase assays. Furthermore, the ME-E demonstrated a dose dependent cytotoxicity was noted against brine shrimp larvae. In support of this ME-E considerable activities, the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis confirmed that this extract contain more number peaks attributed to the stretch of various essential functional groups belongs to different bioactive compounds. Hence this ME-E of A. aspera can be considered for further in depth scientific investigations to validate their maximum biomedical potential.

Abstract
The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections is a principal threat to global health. Functionalization of nanomaterial with antibiotics is known as a useful method for increasing the effectiveness of existing antibiotics. In this study, vancomycin-functionalized ZnFe2 O4 nanocomposite (ZnFe2 O4 @Cell@APTES@Van) was synthesized, and its functional groups and particle size were characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscope, and transmission electron microscopy. The antibacteria activity of the synthesized nanocomposite was evaluated using minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Cytotoxicity assay was done by 2,3-bis-(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide method. Characterization analyses of synthesized nanocomposite confirmed the binding of vancomysin on the surface of ZnFe2 O4 @Cell@APTES. Nanocomposite exhibited an aggregated semi-spherical structure with hydrodynamic radii of ∼382 nm. In vitro antibacterial activity test showed that vancomycin and vancomycin functionalized ZnFe2 O4 have no antibacterial effect against E. coli. S. aureus was sensitive to vancomycin and ZnFe2 O4 @Cell@APTES@Van NPs and ZnFe2 O4 NPs did not improve vancomycin antibacterial activity against these bacteria. MRSA is resistant to vancomycin while ZnFe2 O4 @Cell@APTES@Van NPs was efficient in inhibiting MRSA growth. In summary, this study showed that attachment of vancomycin to ZnFe2 O4 NPs was increased its antibacterial activity against MRSA.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance, caused by persistent adaptation and growing resistance of pathogenic bacteria to overprescribed antibiotics, poses one of the most serious and urgent threats to global public health. The limited pipeline of experimental antibiotics in development further exacerbates this looming crisis and new drugs with alternative modes of action are needed to tackle evolving pathogenic adaptation. Transition metal complexes can replenish this diminishing stockpile of drug candidates by providing compounds with unique properties that are not easily accessible using pure organic scaffolds. We spotlight four emerging strategies to harness these unique properties to develop new targeted antibacterial agents.

Abstract
This study sheds light on how to rationally design efficient photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) agents by covalently linking phthalocyanines (Pcs) as photosensitizers with an antibiotic: Ciprofloxacin (CIP). Pcs used are zinc (II) 3-(4-((3,17,23-tris(4-(Benzo(d)thiazol-2-yl] thiol) phthalocyanine-9-yl) oxy) phenyl) propanoic acid (1) and zinc (II) 3-(4-(3,17,23-tris(3-(4-(triphenylphosphine) butyl) benzo[d]thiazol-3-ium bromide phthalocyanine-9-yl) oxy) phenyl) propanoic acid (2). High singlet oxygen quantum yields are observed in the presence of CIP. Square wave voltammetry was used to analyse the Pc-CIP uptake by bacteria biofilms of Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumonia) and Escherichia coli (E. coli). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and scanning electron spectroscopy were used to study the stability of the biofilms in the presence Pc-CIP complexes and when exposed to light. Raman and time of flight-secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) are used to identify the breakdown of cellular components of the biofilm and penetration of the Pc-CIP into the biofilms, respectively.

Abstract
In this study, solvothermal pathway was employed for the synthesis of P, N codoped C-dot using tire waste as a sustainable source of carbon and nitrogen. Comprehensive analyses encompassing X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), FT-IR, cyclic voltammetry, and UV-Vis spectra were used to assess the crystalline structure, purity, size, fluorescence up-conversion, and morphological attributes of the nanomaterial. Subsequently, the produced C-dots were evaluated for their efficacy in the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue and methyl orange dyes, demonstrating notable success in degrading methyl orange dye within eight hours in the visible region. Furthermore, the same nanomaterial was applied for carrying out agar disk-diffusion assays against a spectrum of microorganisms. Results revealed substantial inhibition zones against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Elucidating the antimicrobial mechanism, molecular-docking simulations were excuted using on AutoDock Vina with designated ligands. The results indicated a strong binding affinity of the C-dots with certain proteins associated with antibacterial activity. This observation suggests that the synthesized C-dots effectively engage with the active sites of these proteins, indicating their potential as promising antibacterial agents. Importantly, this study implies that C-dots do not induce protein denaturation, thereby warranting further investigation of their utility as antibacterial agents.

Abstract
WHO lists AMR as one of the top ten global public health issues. Therefore, constant effort is needed to develop more efficient antimicrobial drugs. As a result, earth-abundant transition-metal complexes have emerged as an excellent solution. In this regard, new aminoquinoline-based copper(II) pincer complexes 1-3 were designed, synthesized, and characterized by modern spectroscopic techniques. It is worth mentioning that, at the highest concentration (1024 μg/mL) of complexes (1-3), the hemolysis was found to be <15%, implying their less toxicity. Further, the complexes effectively interfered with the growth of Gram positive MRSA and the fungus Candida albicans. Among them, complex 2 was promising (MIC = 16 μg/mL) against MRSA, which was better than the known antibacterial drug kanamycin (64 μg/mL) under identical conditions. The Alamar blue cell viability test and the MBC/MFC identified by spot assay were in accordance with MIC values. Moreover, the insilico studies explained the most probable mechanism of action as inhibition of cell wall biosynthesis and dysfunction of antibiotic sensing proteins. Similarly, the antifungal action might be due to the cell surface adhesion protein dysfunction by the complexes. Furthermore, we are expecting to draw these compounds for clinical applications.

Abstract
Background and aims Enamel demineralization and white spot lesions (WSLs) during orthodontic treatment have always been a challenge to orthodontists. The advancement of nanotechnology has paved the way for the incorporation of bioactive compounds in orthodontic materials especially orthodontic composites for prevention and management of WSLs. The present study aims to prepare, characterize, and then incorporate copper and strontium doped nanohydroxyapatite into orthodontic composite material and test its antibacterial efficacy. Materials and methods The present in vitro study involved the preparation of the strontium and copper co-substituted hydroxyapatite (SrCuHA) nanoparticles (Nps) using the sol-gel method. The prepared Nps were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The Nps were incorporated into a commercially available orthodontic composite. The antimicrobial properties of the SrCuHA Nps-incorporated composite were tested using the Agar well diffusion method against Staphylococcus aureus(S. aureus), Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans), and Escherichia coli (E. coli). Results The SrCuHA Nps were successfully prepared. EDAX, FTIR, and SEM analyses revealed the successful formation of the Nps. The SrCuHA-incorporated orthodontic composite at a higher concentration of 40 μl showed the maximum zone of inhibition (ZOI) against S. mutans. The control group showed the maximum ZOI against E. coli and the SrCuHA Nps-incorporated composite at 20 μl showed the maximum inhibition against S. aureus. Conclusion In the present study, successful preparation of SrCuHA Nps followed by incorporation in the orthodontic adhesive was done. The prepared nanoparticle was characterized and the SrCuHA Nps-incorporated orthodontic composite demonstrated comparable ZOI against S. mutans to the control.

[PMID: 37511891 PMCID: PMC10381420 DOI: 10.3390/life13071516] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 06/30/2023] [Accepted: 07/03/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
A series of Schiff base ligands obtained by the condensation of trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine and fluorinated benzaldehydes were prepared, followed by their reduction with NaBH4. The reduced ligands were employed in the synthesis of zinc complexes of the general formula [ZnCl2(L)]. The structures of both the original and the reduced Schiff bases, as well as of the zinc complexes, were characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis, along with NMR and IR spectroscopy. The antimicrobial activities of the reduced Schiff bases and their zinc complexes were evaluated in vitro against E. coli, S. aureus, and C. albicans. The compounds containing the 4-(trifluoromethylphenyl) moiety showed marked antibacterial activity. Interestingly, the antimicrobial effect of the zinc complex with this moiety was significantly higher than that of the corresponding free reduced ligand, comparable with ciprofloxacin used as standard. Thus, a synergic effect upon the complexation with zinc can be inferred.

Abstract
Compounds modified with selenium atom as potential antibacterial agents have been exploited to combat the nondrug-resistant bacterial infection. In this study, we designed and synthesized four ruthenium complexes retouching of selenium-ether. Fortunately, those four ruthenium complexes shown excellent antibacterial bioactive (MIC: 1.56-6.25 μg/mL) against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and the most active complex Ru(II)-4 could kill S. aureus by targeting the membrane integrity and avoid the bacteria to evolve drug resistance. Moreover, Ru(II)-4 was found to significantly inhibit the formation of biofilms and biofilm eradicate capacity. In toxicity experiments, Ru(II)-4 exhibited poor hemolysis and low mammalian toxicity. To illustrate the antibacterial mechanism: we conducted scanning electron microscope (SEM), fluorescent staining, membrane rupture and DNA leakage assays. Those results demonstrated that Ru(II)-4 could destroy the integrity of bacterial cell membrane. Furthermore, both G. mellonella wax worms infection model and mouse skin infection model were established to evaluate the antibacterial activity of Ru(II)-4 in vivo, the results indicated that Ru(II)-4 was a potential candidate for combating S. aureus infections, and almost non-toxic to mouse tissue. Thus, all the results indicated that introducing selenium-atom into ruthenium compounds were a promising strategy for developing interesting antibacterial agents.

Abstract
The design of molecules with effective anticancer properties constructed from both dually active metal complex and organic fragments is a novel trend in medicinal chemistry. This concept suggests the impact of a drug on several biological targets or the synergistic action of both fragments as a single unit. We propose that the combination of a Pd-metallocomplex fragment and an organic unit can be an interesting model for anticancer drug discovery. The first phase in the development of such suggested molecules is the synthesis of bilateral metallosystems containing bioactive 6-substituted piperidin-2-one and a palladated N-phenylpyrazolic fragment. Both fragments were incorporated into one molecule through the fused pyrazole-piperidine-2-one unit followed by pyrazol-directed cyclopalladation of the phenyl-group with Pd(OAc)2. An effect of acceleration of the rate of the palladation by NH-lactam was observed. The synthesized hybrid palladacycles have been characterized and tested for their cytotoxic activity on three cancerous cell lines as PPh3 complexes, revealing structures with potential for further development and structural optimization.

Abstract
1,2,3-triazoles are pharmaceutically significant compounds that have attracted recent interest from medicinal chemists because of their important biological activities. Addressed herein, some 1,2,3-triazoles were synthesized to investigate the inhibitory activities against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) enzymes, antioxidant capacity, and antimicrobial effect. The antioxidant profile of 1,2,3-triazoles determined by varied bioanalytical antioxidant methods, including 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS.+ ), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazil (DPPH·), cupric ion (Cu2+ ) and ferric ion (Fe3+ ) ascorbic acid, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) were used as the standard compounds. In addition, the antibacterial and antifungal activities of these compounds were investigated against seven bacteria and three fungal species using the hollow agar method. As a result of these studies, it was determined that compound 4 showed the best antimicrobial activity and antioxidant activity close to the standards. Inhibitory effects and kinetic studies of these molecules on cholinesterase enzymes were performed. According to the results obtained, compound 4 showed stronger AChE inhibition and compound 3 stronger BChE inhibition compared to other compounds. In kinetic studies, it was found that AChE showed noncompetitive inhibition by compound 4, and BChE showed competitive inhibition by compound 3.

Abstract
Bacteria, similar to most organisms, have a love-hate relationship with metals: a specific metal may be essential for survival yet toxic in certain forms and concentrations. Metal ions have a long history of antimicrobial activity and have received increasing attention in recent years owing to the rise of antimicrobial resistance. The search for antibacterial agents now encompasses metal ions, nanoparticles and metal complexes with antimicrobial activity ('metalloantibiotics'). Although yet to be advanced to the clinic, metalloantibiotics are a vast and underexplored group of compounds that could lead to a much-needed new class of antibiotics. This Review summarizes recent developments in this growing field, focusing on advances in the development of metalloantibiotics, in particular, those for which the mechanism of action has been investigated. We also provide an overview of alternative uses of metal complexes to combat bacterial infections, including antimicrobial photodynamic therapy and radionuclide diagnosis of bacterial infections.

Abstract
The misuse of antibiotics makes clinical treatment of soft tissue infection a huge challenge in prosthesis replacement. In this study, a black phosphorus (BP)-enhanced antibacterial injectable hydrogel (HAABP) was developed by the dynamic coordinative cross-linking among thiolated hyaluronic acid, silver ion (Ag+), and BP. HAABP has been proven to possess typical porous structures, excellent injectability, and rapid self-healing properties. In addition, the shear modulus was positive correlative to the concentration of BP. In vitro, HAABP maintained good cytocompatibility and showed a highly efficient synergistic inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus through the irradiation of near infrared light and the release of Ag+. In vivo, HAABP not only inhibited the persistent infection but also accelerated the deposition of collagen fibers and angiogenesis by down-regulating the inflammatory factor TNF-α in the infectious wound defect, thereby repairing the natural barrier of tissue. This study developed a BP-enhanced injectable hydrogel that provided a simple and efficient synergistic antibacterial strategy to treat soft tissue infections around prostheses.

Abstract
Twelve novel organotin(iv) complexes (1–12) of N-acetylated β-amino acids (L1–L8) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, multinuclear (1H, 13C, 119Sn) NMR, EI-MS and powder XRD techniques. The XRD results determined lattice parameters, average particle size, and intrinsic strain and confirmed the crystalline nature of complexes as face centered cubic phases. Molecular docking analysis using a catalytic pocket of the α-glucosidase enzyme indicated that most of the compounds displayed a well-fitted orientation and occupied important amino acids in the enzyme's catalytic pocket. Furthermore, in vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory activity results revealed that L1 and complexes 4, 6 and 10 showed the highest activity with IC50 values of 21.54 ± 0.45, 37.96 ± 0.81 and 35.20 ± 1.02, respectively, compared to standard acarbose with an IC50 value of 42.51 ± 0.21. In addition, in vivo antidiabetic activity of selected compounds using alloxan induced diabetic rabbits showed that L4 and complexes 4, 6, 10, 12 showed significant activities like standard metformin. Anti-bacterial activity against the selected Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains has the following order Escherichia coli > Pseudomonas aeruginosa > Staphylococcus aureus > Bacillus subtilis. Similarly, antioxidant activity by the DPPH scavenging method was also studied with following results: triorganotin > diorganotin > ligands. Novel organotin(iv) complexes of N-acetylated β-amino acids were synthesized and characterized by different techniques. The molecular docking, in vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory, and in vivo antidiabetic activity studies were carried out.![]()

Abstract
An antimicrobial polyacrylic silver salt (freshly prepared, stored for one year and model-aged) was studied by physical–chemical techniques for nanoparticle detection. In all cases, this salt represents a composite of radical-enriched macromolecules and silver(0) nanoparticles. As time passed, the initial small spherical nanoparticles were converted into larger non-spherical silver nanoparticles. The initial highly water-soluble antimicrobial solid nanocomposite almost loses its solubility in water and cannot be used as an antimicrobial agent. Unlike insoluble solid silver polyacrylate, its freshly prepared aqueous solution retains a liquid-phase consistency after one year as well as pronounced antimicrobial properties. The mechanism of these spontaneous and model-simulated processes was proposed. These results have attracted attention for officinal biomedicinal silver salts as complex radical-enriched nanocomposite substances; they also indicate contrasting effects of silver polymeric salt storing in solid and solution forms that dramatically influence antimicrobial activity.

Abstract
“Drug repositioning” is a modern strategy used to uncover new applications for out-of-date drugs. In this context, nalidixic acid, the first member of the quinolone class with limited use today, has been selected to obtain nine new metal complexes with lanthanide cations (La3+, Sm3+, Eu3+, Gd3+, Tb3+); the experimental data suggest that the quinolone acts as a bidentate ligand, binding to the metal ion via the keto and carboxylate oxygen atoms, findings that are supported by DFT calculations. The cytotoxic activity of the complexes has been studied using the tumoral cell lines, MDA-MB-231 and LoVo, and a normal cell line, HUVEC. The most active compounds of the series display selective activity against LoVo. Their affinity for DNA and the manner of binding have been tested using UV–Vis spectroscopy and competitive binding studies; our results indicate that major and minor groove binding play a significant role in these interactions. The affinity towards serum proteins has also been evaluated, the complexes displaying higher affinity towards albumin than apotransferrin.

Abstract
Antimicrobial drug resistance poses a significant threat worldwide, hence triggering an urgent situation for developing feasible drugs. 3D-transition metal coordination complexes being multifaceted, offer tremendous potency as drug candidates. However, there are fewer reports on non-toxic and safe transition metal complexes; therefore, we hereby attempted to develop novel copper and vanadium-based therapeutic agents. We have synthesised six metal complexes viz., [VVO2(Quibal-INH)] (1), [CuII(Quibal-INH)2] (2), [VVO(Quibal-INH) (cat)] (3), [CuII(Quibal-INH) (cat)] (4), [VVO(Quibal-INH) (bha)] (5) and [CuII(Quibal-INH) (bha)] (6). Quibal-INH (L) is an ON bidentate donor ligand synthesized from Schiff base reaction between 4-(2-(7-chloroquinolin-3-yl)vinyl)benzaldehyde (Quibal) and Isoniazid (INH). The synthesized compounds were characterized using analytical techniques involving ATR-IR, UV-Vis, EPR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and 51V NMR. Ligand (L) and compound 3 exhibited moderate growth inhibitory activity towards Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans fungal species. Compound 6 has been identified as active against the above fungal species with no toxicity and hemolysis activity on the healthy cells. Compound 5 exhibited significant activity against the Mycobacterium tuberculosis H 37 R v strain. Further, compounds 4, 5 and 6 exhibited excellent free radical scavenging activity. All the developed compounds were found to exhibit stability over a wide range of pH conditions. The complexes were additionally studied for their interaction with human serum albumin (HSA) with the UV-vis spectroscopic technique.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of important porous, crystalline materials composed of metal ions (clusters) and organic ligands. Owing to the unique redox chemistry, photochemical and electrical property, and catalytic activity of Cu2+/+, copper-based MOFs (Cu-MOFs) have been recently and extensively explored in various biomedical fields. In this review, we first make a brief introduction to the synthesis of Cu-MOFs and their composites, and highlight the recent synthetic strategies of two most studied representatives, three-dimensional HKUST-1 and two-dimensional Cu-TCPP. The recent advances of Cu-MOFs in the applications of cancer treatment, bacterial inhibition, biosensing, biocatalysis, and wound healing are summarized and discussed. Furthermore, we propose a prospect of the future development of Cu-MOFs in biomedical fields and beyond.

Abstract
Pyrazine and its derivatives are a large group of compounds that exhibit broad biological activity, the changes of which can be easily detected by a substituent effect or a change in the functional group. The present studies combined theoretical research with the density functional theory (DFT) approach (B3LYP/6-311+G**) and experimental (potentiometric and spectrophotometric) analysis for a thorough understanding of the structure of chlorohydrazinopyrazine, its physicochemical and cytotoxic properties, and the site and nature of interaction with DNA. The obtained results indicated that 2-chloro-3-hydrazinopyrazine (2Cl3HP) displayed the highest affinity to DNA. Cytotoxicity studies revealed that the compound did not exhibit toxicity toward human dermal keratinocytes, which supported the potential application of 2Cl3HP in clinical use. The study also attempted to establish the possible equilibria occurring in the aqueous solution and, using both theoretical and experimental methods, clearly showed the hydrophilic nature of the compound. The experimental and theoretical results of the study confirmed the quality of the compound, as well as the appropriateness of the selected set of methods for similar research.

Abstract
The emerging field of photopharmacology has offered a promising alternative to guard against the bacterial resistance by effectively avoiding antibiotic accumulation in the body or environment. However, the degradation, toxicity, and thermal reversibility have always been an ongoing concern for potential applications of azobenzene-based photopharmacology. Developing novel photopharmacological agents based on a more matched switch is highly in demand and remains a major challenge. Herein, two novel dithienylethene-bridged dual-fluoroquinolone derivatives have been developed by introducing two fluoroquinolone drugs into both ends of the dithienylethene (DTE) switch, in which the fluoroquinolone acts as a fluorophore except for the pharmacodynamic component. For comparison, two monofluoroquinolone-DTE hybrids were also prepared by a similar strategy. As expected, these resultant DTE-based antibacterial agents displayed efficient photochromism and fluorescence switching behavior in dimethyl sulfoxide. Moreover, improved antibacterial activities compared to those of monofluoroquinolone derivatives and a maximum fourfold active difference against Escherichia coli (E. coli) for open and closed isomers and photoswitchable bacterial imaging for Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli were observed. The molecular docking to DNA gyrase gave a rationale for the discrepancies in antibacterial activity for both isomers. Therefore, these fluoroquinolone derivatives can act as interesting imaging-guided photopharmacological agents for further in vivo studies.

Abstract
Advances in the research of nanoparticles (NPs) with controlled charge and size are driven by their potential application in the development of novel technologies and innovative therapeutics. This work reports the synthesis, characterization, and comprehensive biological evaluation of AgNPs functionalized by N,N,N-trimethyl-(11-mercaptoundecyl) ammonium chloride (TMA) and trisodium citrate (TSC). The prepared AgNPs were well characterized in terms of their morphological, spectroscopic and functional properties and biological activities. The implementation of several complementary techniques allowed not only the estimation of the average particle size (from 3 to 40 nm depending on the synthesis procedure used) but also the confirmation of the crystalline nature of the NPs and their round shape. To prove the usefulness of these materials in biological systems, cellular uptake and cytotoxicity in microbial and mammalian cells were determined. Positively charged 10 nm Ag@TMA2 revealed antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative bacteria with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 0.17 μg/mL and complete eradication of Escherichia coli (7 logs) for Ag@TMA2 at a concentration of 0.50 μg/mL, whereas negatively charged 10 nm Ag@TSC1 was effective against Gram-positive bacteria (MIC = 0.05 μg/mL), leading to inactivation of Staphylococcus aureus at relatively low concentrations. In addition, the largest 40 nm Ag@TSC2 was shown to exhibit pronounced anticancer activity against murine colon carcinoma (CT26) and murine mammary gland carcinoma (4T1) cells cultured as 2D and 3D tumor models and reduced toxicity against human HaCaT keratinocytes. Among the possible mechanisms of AgNPs are their ability to generate reactive oxygen species, which was further evaluated in vitro and correlates well with cellular accumulation and overall activity of AgNPs. Furthermore, we confirmed the anticancer efficacy of the most potent Ag@TSC2 in hiPSC-derived colonic organoids and demonstrated that the NPs are biocompatible and applicable in vivo. A pilot study in BALB/c mice evidenced that the treatment with Ag@TSC2 resulted in temporary (>60 days) remission of CT26 tumors.

Abstract
Microbial biofilms are represented by sessile microbial communities with modified gene expression and phenotype, adhered to a surface and embedded in a matrix of self-produced extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Microbial biofilms can develop on both prosthetic devices and tissues, generating chronic and persistent infections that cannot be eradicated with classical organic-based antimicrobials, because of their increased tolerance to antimicrobials and the host immune system. Several complexes based mostly on 3D ions have shown promising potential for fighting biofilm-associated infections, due to their large spectrum antimicrobial and anti-biofilm activity. The literature usually reports species containing Mn(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Cu(II) or Zn(II) and a large variety of multidentate ligands with chelating properties such as antibiotics, Schiff bases, biguanides, N-based macrocyclic and fused rings derivatives. This review presents the progress in the development of such species and their anti-biofilm activity, as well as the contribution of biomaterials science to incorporate these complexes in composite platforms for reducing the negative impact of medical biofilms.

Abstract
In an attempt to increase the biological activity of the 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine scaffold through complexation with essential metal ions, the complexes trans-[Cu(mptp)2Cl2] (1), [Zn(mptp)Cl2(DMSO)] (2) (mptp: 5-methyl-7-phenyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine), [Cu2(dmtp)4Cl4]·2H2O (3) and [Zn(dmtp)2Cl2] (4) (dmtp: 5,7-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine), were synthesized and characterized as new antiproliferative and antimicrobial species. Both complexes (1) and (2) crystallize in the P21/n monoclinic space group, with the tetrahedral surroundings generating a square-planar stereochemistry in the Cu(II) complex and a tetrahedral stereochemistry in the Zn(II) species. The mononuclear units are interconnected in a supramolecular network through π–π interactions between the pyrimidine moiety and the phenyl ring in (1) while supramolecular chains resulting from C-H∙∙∙π interactions were observed in (2). All complexes exhibit an antiproliferative effect against B16 tumor cells and improved antibacterial and antifungal activities compared to the free ligands. Complex (3) displays the best antimicrobial activity against all four tested strains, both in the planktonic and biofilm-embedded states, which can be correlated to its stronger DNA-binding and nuclease-activity traits.

Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) as a promising alternative to current pharmaceuticals for the treatment of resistant microorganisms. ADVANCES IN INORGANIC CHEMISTRY 2022; 79:65-103.

Abstract
Although the whole world is currently observing the global battle against COVID-19, it should not be underestimated that in the next 30 years, approximately 10 million people per year could be exposed to infections caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria. As new antibiotics come under pressure from unpredictable resistance patterns and relegation to last-line therapy, immediate action is needed to establish a radically different approach to countering resistant microorganisms. Among the most widely explored alternative methods for combating bacterial infections are metal complexes and nanoparticles, often in combination with light, but strategies using monoclonal antibodies and bacteriophages are increasingly gaining acceptance. Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) uses light and a dye termed a photosensitizer (PS) in the presence of oxygen to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the field of illumination that eventually kill microorganisms. Over the past few years, hundreds of photomaterials have been investigated, seeking ideal strategies based either on single molecules (e.g., tetrapyrroles, metal complexes) or in combination with various delivery systems. The present work describes some of the most recent advances of PDI, focusing on the design of suitable photosensitizers, their formulations, and their potential to inactivate bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Particular attention is focused on the compounds and materials developed in our laboratories that are capable of killing in the exponential growth phase (up to seven logarithmic units) of bacteria without loss of efficacy or resistance, while being completely safe for human cells. Prospectively, PDI using these photomaterials could potentially cure infected wounds and oral infections caused by various multidrug-resistant bacteria. It is also possible to treat the surfaces of medical equipment with the materials described, in order to disinfect them with light, and reduce the risk of nosocomial infections.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The metal ion complexes of meropenem and cefixime with cadmium, silver, palladium, zinc, nickel, cobalt and copper were synthesized and characterized by UV, FTIR and H1-NMR spectrophotometry. The antibacterial effects of the complexes were studied using cup and plate method against S. aureus, B. subtilis, E. coli, P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae for normal and resistant strains of bacteria. The minimum inhibitory concentration of the metal ion complexes was determined by broth dilution method.
Results
UV spectroscopic studies suggested that meropenem ligand form complex with different metal ions and FTIR spectrum confirmed the proposed structure. Similarly, UV spectrum of cefixime metal ion complexes at λmax 202–295 nm and meropenem metal ion complexes at λmax 249–304 nm was observed in all the complexes. FTIR peaks for a proposed structure were observed in all the meropenem and cefixime metal ion, indicating the formation of complexes, and retained the functional groups of drugs. Meropenem as well as cefixime metal ion complexes exhibited more antibacterial activity against all the selected bacterial strains. Specifically, the lowest minimum inhibitory concentration against P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae was observed to be 100 and 150 μg/ml, respectively.
Conclusion
The present study concluded that the meropenem and cefixime metal complexes can exhibit the better treatment than individual drug on normal as well as resistant bacteria.

Abstract
The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest challenges in public health. There is an urgent need to discover novel agents against the occurrence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin-resistant enterococci. The drug-resistant pathogens are able to grow and persist in infected sites, including biofilms, phagosomes, or phagolysosomes, which are more difficult to eradicate than planktonic ones and also foster the development of drug resistance. For years, various nano-antibacterial agents have been developed in the forms of antibiotic nanocarriers. Inorganic nanoparticles with intrinsic antibacterial activity and inert nanoparticles assisted by external stimuli, including heat, photon, magnetism, or sound, have also been discovered. Many of these strategies are designed to target the unique microenvironment of bacterial infections, which have shown potent antibacterial effects in vitro and in vivo. This review summarizes ongoing efforts on antibacterial nanotherapeutic strategies related to bacterial infection microenvironments, including targeted antibacterial therapy and responsive antibiotic delivery systems. Several grand challenges and future directions for the development and translation of effective nano-antibacterial agents are also discussed. The development of innovative nano-antibacterial agents could provide powerful weapons against drug-resistant bacteria in systemic or local bacterial infections in the foreseeable future.

Abstract
Bacteria-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is associated with a high mortality rate due to the lack of an effective treatment. Patients often rely on supportive care such as low tidal volume ventilation to alleviate the symptoms. Nanomedicine has recently received much attention owing to its premium benefits of delivering drugs in a sustainable and controllable manner while minimizing the potential side effects. It can effectively improve the prognosis of bacteria-induced ALI through targeted delivery of drugs, regulation of multiple inflammatory pathways, and combating antibiotic resistance. Hence, in this review, we first discuss the pathogenesis of ALI and its potential therapeutics. In particular, the state-of-the-art nanomedicines for the treatment of bacteria-induced ALI are highlighted, including their administration routes, in vivo distribution, and clearance. Furthermore, the available bacteria-induced ALI animal models are also summarized. In the end, future perspectives of nanomedicine for ALI treatment are proposed.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the phytochemical composition, antioxidant, and antimicrobial potential of crude extract and fractions of Punica granatum leaves. The extract was produced by turbo extraction, after which hexanic, ethyl acetate, and aqueous fractions were obtained by partitioning. The chemical analyses were performed by thin layer chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography, and the antioxidant activities were assayed by DPPH. and ABTS.+ . Minimal inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations (MIC/MBC) were applied to twenty-two bacteria. Most strains susceptible to extract/fractions and resistant to antibiotics were selected, and ampicillin, azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, and gentamicin were associated with the ethyl acetate fraction (EAF) against multidrug-resistant strains in modulatory and checkboard models. The data from chromatographic analyses showed flavonoids and tannins in the extract, as well as the enrichment of EAF in phenols, mainly flavonoids. The flavonoids were connected to the electron transfer activity demonstrated in the DPPH. and ABTS.+ assays. Gram-positive strains are more susceptible to EAF. The subinhibitory concentrations of P. granatum enhanced the antimicrobial activity of the agents and reduced the EAF individual MIC, and the combination of EAF and antibiotics demonstrated a synergistic effect. These results present a promising approach for developing a therapy in which antioxidant extracts and fractions can be used in combination with antibiotics.

Abstract
Escalating medical expenses due to infectious diseases are causing huge socioeconomic pressure on mankind globally. The emergence of antibiotic resistance has further aggravated this problem. Drug-resistant pathogens are also capable of forming thick biofilms on biotic and abiotic surfaces to thrive in a harsh environment. To address these clinical problems, various strategies including antibacterial agent delivering matrices and bactericidal coatings strategies have been developed. In this review, we have discussed various types of polymeric vehicles such as hydrogels, sponges/cryogels, microgels, nanogels, and meshes, which are commonly used to deliver antibiotics, metal nanoparticles, and biocides. Compositions of these polymeric matrices have been elaborately depicted by elucidating their chemical interactions and potential activity have been discussed. On the other hand, various implant/device-surface coating strategies which exploit the release-active mechanism of bacterial killing are discussed in elaboration. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Cardiovascular Disease Implantable Materials and Surgical Technologies > Nanomaterials and Implants Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Infectious Disease.

Abstract
Abstract
Carboxylato-type transition metal complexes with agaric acid, a bioactive natural compound derived from citric acid, were prepared, and tested in vitro for their antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity. The products as well as agaric acid itself are amphiphilic compounds containing a hydrophilic head (citric acid moiety) and a hydrophobic tail (non-polar alkyl chain). The putative composition of the carboxylates was assigned on grounds of elemental analysis, infrared (IR) and high-resolution mass spectra (HR-MS), as well as in analogy with known complexes containing the citrate moiety. The metal carboxylates showed interesting activity in several microbial strains, especially against S. aureus (vanadium complex; MIC = 0.05 mg/ml). They were also tested for their cytotoxic activity in hepatocytes, the highest activity having been found in the copper(II) and manganese(II) complexes. Further research based on these preliminary results is needed in order to evaluate the influence of parameters like stability of the metal complexes in solution on the bioactivity of the complexes.

Abstract
From the reaction of ceftriaxone 1 antibiotic with 2,6-diaminopyridine 2 a ceftriaxone-based Schiff base (H2L,3) was obtained and its transition metal complexes were synthesized. Spectroscopic and physicochemical techniques, namely, UV-visible, FT-IR, 1H NMR, EPR, mass spectrometry, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, together with elemental and thermal analyses, were used to find out the binding mode and composition of these complexes. The ceftriaxone-based Schiff base 3 behaves as a monoanionic tridentate N,N,O ligand. Spectral and magnetic data suggest an octahedral geometry for all complexes and the general formulae [M(HL)(OAc)(H2O)2] (M(II) = Mn2+4, Co2+5, Ni2+6, Cu2+7, Zn2+8), are proposed for them. All compounds were screened for antibacterial activity using both the agar disc diffusion method and the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). It was found that complex 8 exhibited the most promising bactericidal activity against S. aureus (MIC = 0.0048 μmol/ml) and E. coli (MIC = 0.0024 μmol/ml). It is more active than the free ligand 1 (MIC = 0.0560 μmol/ml for S. aureus and 0.0140 μmol/ml for E. coli). These MIC results were compared with those obtained using similar zinc(II) Schiff base complexes, and with the values obtained using ceftriaxone conjugated with silver and gold nanoparticles (NPs), using earlier published data. Synthesized metal complexes exhibited LC50 values >1000 ppm indicating their nontoxicity against brine shrimp nauplii (Artemia Salina).

Abstract
Bacterial biofilms are responsible for the development of various chronic wound-related and implant-mediated infections and confer protection to the pathogenic bacteria against antimicrobial drugs and host immune responses. Hence, biofilm-mediated chronic infections have created a tremendous burden upon healthcare systems worldwide. The development of biofilms upon the surface of medical implants has resulted in the failure of various implant-based surgeries and therapies. Although different conventional chemical and physical agents are used as antimicrobials, they fail to kill the sessile forms of bacterial pathogens due to the resistance exerted by the exopolysaccharide (EPS) matrices of the biofilm. One of the major techniques used in addressing such a problem is to directly check the biofilm formation by the use of novel antibiofilm materials, local drug delivery, and device-associated surface modifications, but the success of these techniques is still limited. The immense expansion in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology has resulted in the development of novel nanomaterials as biocidal agents that can be either easily integrated within biomaterials to prevent the colonization of microbial cells or directly approach the pathogen overcoming the biofilm matrix. The antibiofilm efficacies of these nanomaterials are accomplished by the generation of oxidative stresses and through alterations of the genetic expressions. Microorganism-assisted synthesis of nanomaterials paved the path to success in such therapeutic approaches and is found to be more acceptable for its "greener" approach. Metallic nanoparticles functionalized with microbial enzymes, silver-platinum nanohybrids (AgPtNHs), bacterial nanowires, superparamagnetic iron oxide (Fe3O4), and nanoparticles synthesized by both magnetotactic and non-magnetotactic bacteria showed are some of the examples of such agents used to attack the EPS.

Abstract
Clinical reports have highlighted the radical increase of antibiotic resistance. As a result, multidrug resistance has emerged as a serious threat to human health. Many organic compounds commonly used as drugs in the past, no longer have pure organic mode of action rather need bio-transformation or more activation. Bulk of research has shown that they need trace amount of metal ions incorporated within the chemistry of bioactive molecules for enhancement of their potentiality to fight aggressively against resistance. The deficiency of some metal ions can also be responsible for many diseases like growth retardation, pernicious anemia and heart diseases in infants. To overcome these problems, there is a need to introduce novel strategies which have new mechanism of action along with significant spectrum of biological activity, enhanced safety and efficacy. Bioinorganic compounds have played imperative role in developing the new strategy in the form of "Metal Based Drugs". In current years there have been momentous rise of interest in the application of metal based Schiff base compounds to treat various diseases which are difficult to be treated with conventional methodologies. The unique properties of metal chelates acting as an intermediate between conventional organic and inorganic compounds provided innovative opportunities in the field of pharmaceutical chemistry. In this review, we have exclusively focused on the search of metal based 1,2,4-triazole derived Schiff base compounds (synthesized, reported and reviewed in the past ten years) that possess various biological activities such as antifungal, antibacterial, antioxidant, antidiabetic, anthelmintic, anticancer, antiproliferative, cytotoxic and DNA-intercalation activity.

Abstract
N-vinylpyrrolidone-co-allylamine copolymers (VP-co-AA) containing iminodiacetic (IDA) chelation units were prepared in the range of molecular masses of the copolymers from 9000 to 30,000 Da depending on polymerization conditions. Non-radioactive organometallic species Re(CO)3+ were introduced into polymeric carriers under mild conditions; the prepared metal–polymeric complexes were characterized by IR, NMR, ESI-MS and HPLC. IR spectra data confirmed the coordination of M(CO)3+ moiety to the polymeric backbone via IDA chelation unit (appearance of characteristic fac-M(CO)3+ vibrations (2005, 1890 cm−1), as well as the appearance of group of signals in 1H NMR spectra, corresponding to those inequivalent to methylene protons CH2COO (dd, 4.2 ppm), coordinated to metal ions. The optimal conditions for labeling the PVP-co-AA-IDA copolymers with radioactive 99mTc(CO)3+ species were determined. The radiochemical yields reached 97%. The obtained radiolabeled polymers were stable in blood serum for 3 h. In vivo distribution experiments in intact animals showed the high primary accumulation of technetium-99m MPC (MM = 15,000 Da) in blood with subsequent excretion via the urinary tract.

Abstract
Rising bacterial antibiotic resistance is a global threat. To deal with it, new antibacterial agents and antiseptic materials need to be developed. One alternative in this quest is the organometallic derivatization of well-established antibacterial drugs and also the fabrication of advanced metal-based materials having antibacterial properties. Metal-based agents and materials often show new modes of antimicrobial action which enable them to overcome drug resistance in pathogenic bacterial strains. This review summarizes recent (2017-2020) progress in the field of organometallic-derived antibacterial drugs and metal-based materials having antibacterial activity. Specifically, it covers organometallic derivatives of antibacterial drugs including β-lactams, ciprofloxacin, isoniazid, trimethoprim, sulfadoxine, sulfamethoxazole, and ethambutol as well as non-antibacterial drugs like metformin, phenformin and aspirin. Recent advances and reported clinical trials in the use of metal-based nanomaterials as antibiofouling coatings on medical devices, as photocatalytic agents in indoor air pollutant control, and also as photodynamic/photothermal antimicrobial agents are also summarized.
