Abstract
The rise in antibiotic resistance among bacterial pathogens, particularly Staphylococcus aureus, has become a critical global health issue, necessitating the search for novel antimicrobial agents. S. aureus uses various mechanisms to resist antibiotics, including the activation of efflux pumps, biofilm formation, and enzymatic modification of drugs. This study explores the potential of baicalein, a bioflavonoid from Scutellaria baicalensis, in modulating tetracycline resistance in S. aureus by inhibiting efflux pumps. The synergistic action of baicalein and tetracycline was evaluated through various assays. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of baicalein and tetracycline against S. aureus was 256 and 1.0 μg/mL, respectively. Baicalein at 64 μg/mL reduced the MIC of tetracycline by eightfold, indicating a synergistic effect (fractional inhibitory concentration index: 0.375). Time-kill kinetics demonstrated a 1.0 log CFU/mL reduction in bacterial count after 24 hours with the combination treatment. The ethidium bromide accumulation assay showed that baicalein mediated significant inhibition of efflux pumps, with a dose-dependent increase in fluorescence. In addition, baicalein inhibited DNA synthesis by 73% alone and 92% in combination with tetracycline. It also markedly reduced biofilm formation and the invasiveness of S. aureus into HeLa cells by 52% at 64 μg/mL. These findings suggest that baicalein enhances tetracycline efficacy and could be a promising adjunct therapy to combat multidrug-resistant S. aureus infections.

Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to develop an editable structural scaffold for improving drug development, including pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of antibiotics by using synthetic compounds derived from a (hetero)aryl-quinoline hybrid scaffold. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, 18 CF3-substituted (hetero)aryl-quinoline hybrid molecules were examined for their potential antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus by determining minimal inhibitory concentrations. These 18 synthetic compounds represent modifications to key regions of the quinoline N-oxide scaffold, enabling us to conduct a structure-activity relationship analysis for antibacterial potency. Among the compounds, 3 m exhibited potency against with both methicillin resistant S. aureus strains, as well as other Gram-positive bacteria, including Enterococcus faecalis and Bacillus subtilis. We demonstrated that 3 m disrupted the bacterial proton motive force (PMF) through monitoring the PMF and conducting the molecular dynamics simulations. Furthermore, we show that this mechanism of action, disrupting PMF, is challenging for S. aureus to overcome. We also validated this PMF inhibition mechanism of 3 m in an Acinetobacter baumannii strain with weaken lipopolysaccharides. Additionally, in Gram-negative bacteria, we demonstrated that 3 m exhibited a synergistic effect with colistin that disrupts the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. CONCLUSIONS Our approach to developing editable synthetic novel antibacterials underscores the utility of CF3-substituted (hetero)aryl-quinoline scaffold for designing compounds targeting the bacterial proton motive force, and for further drug development, including pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.

Abstract
As antibiotic-resistant bacteria and genes continue to emerge, the identification of effective alternatives to traditional antibiotics has become a pressing issue. Antimicrobial peptides are favored for their safety, low residue, and low resistance properties, and their unique antimicrobial mechanisms show significant potential in combating antibiotic resistance. However, the high production cost and weak activity of antimicrobial peptides limit their application. Moreover, traditional laboratory methods for identifying and designing new antimicrobial peptides are time-consuming and labor-intensive, hindering their development. Currently, novel technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) are being employed to develop and design new antimicrobial peptide resources, offering new opportunities for the advancement of antimicrobial peptides. This article summarizes the basic characteristics and antimicrobial mechanisms of antimicrobial peptides, as well as their advantages and limitations, and explores the application of AI in antimicrobial peptides prediction amd design. This highlights the crucial role of AI in enhancing the efficiency of antimicrobial peptide research and provides a reference for antimicrobial drug development.

Abstract
A new antimicrobial material incorporating Cu(I) and Cd(II) complexes of bisacylthiourea derivatives in a PVC film was successfully synthesized and characterized by IR, UV, NMR, SEM, and thermal analyses. The results revealed that on coordination, the electronic structure change of the ligand affects practically all their spectral vibrational pattern; however, within the complex pattern, some vibrations indicated that the thiourea derivative behaves as a neutral ligand, which coordinates the metal ion through the sulfur atom of the thiocarbonyl group. The greater affinity of the S atom for Cu+ 1 played a role in Cu(II)→Cu(I) reduction, and the intramolecular hydrogen bonds of the type of (NH···Cl) further stabilized the obtained Cu(I) complex in dioxane. The antimicrobial activity shows that all investigated compounds exhibit excellent activity compared to standard antibiotics. The antibacterial power of the PVC/Cd composite is significantly superior against the most resistant species to both disinfectants and antibiotics compared to its PVC/Cu analogue; nevertheless, the latter exhibited activity equal to an average halo diameter of 29 ± 0.33 mm against pathogenic E. coli ATCC 25,922, indicating excellent G (-) activity. Interestingly, the PVC/Cd composite exhibited excellent activity against pathogenic C. albicans RCMB 005003 (1) ATCC 10,231, while its PVC/Cu analogue was inactive. These materials may be used to reduce infection in wounds either as a composite film or coated barrier dressings, and in addition, the results should open a new direction in antimicrobial surface engineering within the biomedical field. Further challenges are the development of reusable and broad-range antimicrobial polymers..

Abstract
Searching for novel antimicrobial agents is up to day topic for many group of researchers due to the fact that each year the number of bacterial strains resistant to currently used medicines increases. Special attention in the scientific literature among various groups of bioactive organic compounds is focused on the antimicrobial activity of hydrazide-hydrazones. Due to this fact presented study is focused on the design, synthesis and in vitro antimicrobial properties of novel hydrazide-hydrazones of 4-iodosalicylic acid. Target compounds were synthesized by the condensation reaction of the hydrazide of 4-iodosalicylic acid with substituted (hetero)aromatic aldehydes. Chemical structure of obtained molecules was confirmed by spectral methods (1H NMR and 13C NMR). Bioactivity screening results revealed interesting antimicrobial properties of tested compounds against reference Gram-positive bacteria and fungi belonging to Candida spp. Especially, hydrazide-hydrazones 3-5 showed very strong or strong bactericidal effect towards some cocci and bacilli (MIC = 7.81-15.62 µg/mL).

Abstract
A series of 3-[(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)imino]indolin-2-one derivatives were designed using the molecular hybridization method, characterized using different spectroscopic techniques, and evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial activity. Most of the target compounds demonstrated good to moderate antimicrobial activity compared with ciprofloxacin and fluconazole. Four compounds (8b, 9a, 9c, and 10a) showed encouraging results, with minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values (53.45-258.32 µM) comparable to those of norfloxacin (100.31-200.63 µM) and ciprofloxacin (48.33-96.68 µM). Noticeably, the four derivatives revealed excellent bactericidal and fungicidal activities, except for the bacteriostatic potential of compounds 8b and 9a against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively. The time-killing kinetic study against S. aureus confirmed the efficacy of these derivatives. Furthermore, two of the four promising derivatives, 9a and 10a, could prevent the formation of biofilms of S. aureus without affecting the bacterial growth at low concentrations. A combination study with seven commercial antibiotics against the multidrug-resistant bacterium P. aeruginosa showed a notable reduction in the antibiotic MIC values, represented mainly through a synergistic or additive effect. The enzymatic assay implied that the most active derivatives had inhibition potency against DNA gyrase comparable to that of ciprofloxacin. Molecular docking and density functional theory calculations were performed to explore the binding mode and study the reactivity of the promising compounds.

Abstract
In the current study, for the first time, the synergistic activity of curcumin and silver/copper nanoparticles (NPs) was studied against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Moreover, a unique combination of curcumin and silver/copper NPs in free and encapsulated forms was prepared and delivered through a niosomal system. For this purpose, different niosomal formulations of curcumin and metal NPs were prepared by thin film hydration method. Then, the dual drug-loaded niosomes were dispersed in chitosan hydrogel in order to widen its applications. The effect of the molar ratios of lipid to drug and surfactant to cholesterol was investigated to find the optimized noisomal nanoparticles in terms of size, polydispersity index (PDI), and entrapment efficiency (EE). The size and PDI values were measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS). Morphology and in vitro drug release kinetics of niosomes were examined by scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM, TEM) and dialysis method, respectively. The drug-loaded niosomes and their hydrogel counterpart were screened for investigating their antibacterial activity against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa by disk diffusion, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) assays. Furthermore, anti-biofilm assay and expression of biofilm-associated genes by Real-time PCR were performed to evaluate the anti-biofilm effect of NPs. In this study, the drug-loaded niosomal formulations showed good entrapment efficiencies (EE) with a sustained release profile over 72 h. Moreover, compared to free drugs, the optimized niosomal formulations increased antibacterial activity against the bacteria via promotion in the inhibition zone and reduction in MIC and MBC values. Interestingly, gel-based niosomal formulations increased the inhibition zone by about 6 mm and significantly decreased MIC and MBC values compared to niosomal formulations. Also, biofilm eradication of curcumin-metal NPs encapsulated into niosomal hydrogel was highest compared to free and niosomal drugs. Overall, curcumin-Cu or curcumin-Ag nanoparticle loaded niosomes incorporated in hydrogel hold great promise for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is becoming dangerous to human beings due to easy transmission mode and leading to the difficult-to-treat situation. The rapid resistance development of MRSA to many approved antibiotics is of major concern. There is a lot of scope to develop novel, efficient, specific, and nontoxic drug candidates to fight against MRSA isolates. The interesting molecular structure and adaptable feature of oxadiazole moiety which are bioisosteres of esters and amides, and these functional groups show improved resistance to esterases mediated hydrolytic cleavage, attracting researchers to develop required novel antibiotics based on oxadiazole core. This review summarizes the developments of oxadiazole-containing derivatives as potent antibacterial agents against multidrug-resistant MRSA strains and discussing the structure-activity relationship (SAR) in various directions. The current survey is the highlight of the present scenario of oxadiazole hybrids on MRSA studies, covering articles published from 2011 to 2020. This collective information may become a good platform to plan and develop new oxadiazole-based small molecule growth inhibitors of MRSA with minimal side effects.

Abstract
Three phenolic acids including p-hydroxybenzoic acid (PHBA), 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, (DHBA), and gallic acid (GA) were grafted onto native pectin (Na-Pe) through enzymatic method. Ultraviolet-visible spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and 1H NMR analyses were used to explore the reaction mechanism. Results indicated that the p-hydroxyl of the phenolic acids reacted with the methoxycarbonyl of pectin through transesterification, and a covalent connection was formed. The phenolic acid contents of PHBA modified pectin (Ph-Pe), DHBA modified pectin (Dh-Pe), and GA modified pectin (Ga-Pe) were 20.18%, 18.87%, and 20.32%, respectively. After acylation with phenolic acids, the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazine clearance of pectin changed from 7.68% (Na-Pe) to 6.88% (Ph-Pe), 40.80% (Dh-Pe), and 90.30% (Ga-Pe), whereas its inhibition ratio of pectin increased from 3.11% (Na-Pe) to 35.02% (Ph-Pe), 66.36% (Dh-Pe), and 77.89% (Ga-Pe). Moreover, compared with Na-Pe, modified pectins exhibited better emulsification properties and stronger antibacterial activities against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

[PMID: 33395624 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2020.113134] [Citation(s) in RCA: 76] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2020] [Revised: 12/07/2020] [Accepted: 12/22/2020] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is becoming lethal to humanity due to easy transmission and difficult-to-treat skin and flimsy diseases. The most threatening aspect is the rapid resistance development of MRSA to any approved antibiotics, including vancomycin. The development of new, efficient, and nontoxic drug candidate to fight against MRSA isolates is the need of the hour. The intriguing molecular structure and versatile bioactive pyrazole core attracting to development required novel antibiotics. This review presents the decade developments of pyrazole-containing derivatives with a broad antibacterial movement against diverged bacterial strains. In specific, we correlated the efficacy of structurally diversified pyrazole analogs against MRSA and discussed different angles of structure-activity relationship (SAR). The current survey highlights pyrazole hybrids' present scenario on MRSA studies, covering articles published from 2011 to 2020. This collective information may become an excellent platform to plan and develop new pyrazole-based small MRSA growth inhibitors with minimal side effects.

Abstract
The continuous demand of medicinally important scaffolds has prompted the synthetic chemists to identify simple and efficient routes for their synthesis. 1H-1,2,3-triazole, obtained by highly versatile, efficacious and selective "Click Reaction" has become a synthetic/medicinal chemist's favorite not only because of its ability to mimic different functional groups but also due to enhancement in the targeted biological activities. Triazole ring has also been shown to play a critical role in biomolecular mimetics, fragment-based drug design, and bioorthogonal methodologies. In addition, the availability of triazole containing drugs such as fluconazole, furacyclin, etizolam, voriconazole, triozolam etc. in market has underscored the potential of this biologically enriched core in expediting development of new scaffolds. The present review, therefore, is an attempt to highlight the recent synthetic/biological advancements in triazole derivatives that could facilitate the in-depth understanding of its role in the drug discovery process.

Abstract
A series of 3-phenyl-1-phenylsulfonyl pyrazoles containing an aminoguanidine moiety was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their antimicrobial and anticancer activities. The majority of the target compounds showed broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against the tested strains, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranging from 2 to 64 μg/ml. Compound 5k, showing the most potent antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis CMCC 63501 and multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 43300 with an MIC value of 2 μg/ml, was the most promising one in this series. It was also effective for S. aureus ATCC 33591 and multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli ATCC BAA-196 at higher concentrations. The bactericidal time-kill kinetics test illustrated that compound 5k had rapid bactericidal potential. Docking results exhibited that compound 5k showed various kinds of binding to the FabH receptor, reflecting that 5k could bind with the active site well. All compounds showed excellent activity against the investigated cancer cells, with IC50 values ranging from 1.90 to 54.53 µM. Among them, compound 5f showed prominent cytotoxicity with IC50 = 1.90 µM against A549 cells, while exhibiting lower inhibitory activity against 293T cells (IC50 = 41.72 µM), indicating that it has the potential for a good therapeutic index as an anticancer drug.

Novel anti-tubercular and antibacterial based benzosuberone-thiazole moieties: Synthesis, molecular docking analysis, DNA gyrase supercoiling and ATPase activity. Bioorg Chem 2020; 104:104316. [PMID: 33022549 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2020.104316] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2020] [Revised: 09/18/2020] [Accepted: 09/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Herein, molecular hybridization strategy was utilized in the design of new benzosuberone-thiazole derivatives. The structures of the synthesized hybrids were determined on the basis of elemental and spectral analyses. These compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial activities against five bronchitis causing bacteria in addition to their anti-tubercular activities. Most compounds revealed promising activities. Amongst active compounds, benzosuberone-dithiazole derivatives 22a and 28 with MIC value = 1.95 µg/ml against H. influenza, M. pneumonia, and B. pertussis displayed four times the activity of ciprofloxacin (MIC = 7.81 µg/ml) against H. influenza, twice the activity of ciprofloxacin (MIC = 3.9 µg/ml) against M. pneumonia and were equipotent to ciprofloxacin against B. pertussis (MIC = 1.95 µg/ml). Additionally, benzosuberone-dithiazole derivatives 22a and 27 were the most promising anti-tubercular among the tested compounds with MIC values of 0.12 and 0.24 µg/ml, respectively against sensitive M. tuberculosis in addition to high activity against resistant strain of M. tuberculosis (MIC = 0.98 and 1.95 µg/ml, respectively) compared to isoniazid (MIC = 0.12 µg/ml against sensitive M. tuberculosis and no activity against resistant M. tuberculosis). Cytotoxicity study of the active dithiazole derivatives 22a, 27 and 28 against normal human lung cells (WI-38) indicated their high safety profile as showed from their high IC50 values (IC50 = 107, 74.8, and 117 µM, respectively). Furthermore, DNA gyrase supercoiling and ATPase activity assays showed that 22a, 27 and 28 have the potential to inhibit DNA gyrase at low micromolar levels (IC50 = 3.29-15.64 µM). Molecular docking analysis was also carried out to understand the binding profiles of the synthesized compounds into the ATPase binding sites of bacterial and mycobacterial DNA gyraseB.

Abstract
The inhibition or prevention of biofilm formation represents an emerging strategy in the war against antibiotic resistance, interfering with key players in bacterial virulence. This approach includes the inhibition of the catalytic activity of transpeptidase sortase A (Srt A), a membrane enzyme responsible for covalently attaching a wide variety of adhesive matrix molecules to the peptidoglycan cell wall in Gram-positive strains. A new series of seventeen 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives was efficiently synthesized and screened as potential new anti-virulence agents. The ability of inhibiting biofilm formation was evaluated against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens. Remarkably, all these compounds inhibited S. aureus and/or P. aeruginosa biofilm formation in a dose dependent manner, with 50% biofilm inhibitory concentrations (BIC50s) below 10 μM for the most active compounds. Inhibition of SrtA was validated as one of the possible mechanisms of action of these new 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives, in the tested Gram-positive pathogen, using a specific enzymatic assay for a recombinant S. aureus SrtA. The three most active compounds, eliciting BIC50 values for S. aureus ATCC 25923 between 0.7 and 9.7 μM, showed a good activity toward the enzyme eliciting IC50 values ranging from 2.2 to 10.4 μM.

Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has developed numerous mechanisms of virulence and strategies to evade the human immune system, and it can be transmitted between humans, animals, and the environment. Thus, MRSA is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in both hospitals and in the community, creating an urgent demand for the development of novel anti-MRSA candidates. The 1,2,4-triazole nucleus is a bioisostere of amide, ester, and carboxylic acid, and the 1,2,4-triazole ring is found in many compounds with diverse biological effects. 1,2,4-Triazole derivatives could exert their antibacterial activity through inhibition of efflux pumps, filamentous temperature-sensitive protein Z, penicillin-binding protein, DNA gyrase, and topoisomerase IV, and they play an important role in the discovery of novel antibacterial agents. Among them, 1,2,4-triazole hybrids, which have the potential to exert dual/multiple mechanisms of action, possess a promising broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against a panel of clinically important drug-resistant pathogens including MRSA. This review outlines the recent developments of 1,2,4-triazole hybrids with a potential anti-MRSA activity, covering articles published between 2010 and 2020. The mechanisms of action, critical aspects of their design, and structure-activity relationships are also discussed.

Abstract
Cancer remains a foremost cause of deaths worldwide, despite several advances in the medical science. The conventional chemotherapeutic methods are not only harmful for normal body cells but also become inactive due to the development of resistance by cancer cells. Therefore, the demand of safe anticancer agents is increasing and enforced the bottomless research on the bacteriocins. Several studies have reported the selective anticancer property of bacteriocins. Current research is the contribution to explore the exact mechanism of action and in vitro application of bacteriocin (BAC-IB17) as an oncolytic agent. In this study, β-lactamase mediated resistance of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was studied and inhibitory mechanism of MRSA by BAC-IB17 was investigated. Cytotoxic studies were conducted to analyze the anticancerous potential of BAC-IB17. Results revealed that BAC-IB17 inhibited the β-lactamase and produced profound effect on the membrane integrity of MRSA confirmed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). FTIR spectroscopic analysis revealed the changes in the functional groups of bacterial cells before and after treatment with BAC-IB17. BAC-IB17 also found anticancer in nature as it kills HeLa cell lines with the IC50 value of 12.5 μg mL-1 with no cytotoxic effect on normal cells at this concentration. This specific anticancer property of BAC-IB17 will make it a promising candidate for the treatment of cancer after further clinical trials. Moreover, BAC-IB17 may control MDR bacteria responsible for the secondary complications in cancer patients.

Abstract
Due to the emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogenic microorganisms, the search for novel antimicrobials is urgent. Inspired by marine alkaloids, a series of indolomethyl pyrazino [1,2-b]quinazoline-3,6-diones was prepared using a one-pot microwave-assisted multicomponent polycondensation of amino acids. The compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against a panel of nine bacterial strains and five fungal strains. Compounds 26 and 27 were the most effective against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 reference strain with MIC values of 4 μg mL−1, and a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolate with MIC values of 8 μg mL−1. It was possible to infer that enantiomer (−)-26 was responsible for the antibacterial activity (MIC 4 μg mL−1) while (+)-26 had no activity. Furthermore, compound (−)-26 was able to impair S. aureus biofilm production and no significant cytotoxicity towards differentiated and non-differentiated SH-SY5Y cells was observed. Compounds 26, 28, and 29 showed a weak antifungal activity against Trichophyton rubrum clinical isolate with MIC 128 μg mL−1 and presented a synergistic effect with fluconazole. Indolomethyl pyrazino [1,2-b]quinazoline-3,6-diones were prepared using a one-pot multicomponent polycondensation of amino acids and were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against a panel of nine bacterial strains and five fungal strains.![]()

Abstract
Design and biological activities of fluorescent imidazo-phenanthroline derivatives; (E)-5-((4-((4-(1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthrolin-2-yl)phenoxy)methyl)benzylidene)amino)- isophthalicacid, 2 and 2-(4-(((5-chloroquinolin-8-yl)oxy)methyl)phenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5f] [1,10]phenanthroline, 3, have been reported. Their characterizations were performed by spectroscopic techniques. Their promising photophysical behaviours were observed in absorbance and fluorescence studies. The antibacterial activities of the compounds were determined against seven different microorganisms; Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633(G + ), Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 29853(G-), Escherichia coli ATCC 35,218 (G-), Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 292,112 (G + ), Salmonella typhimurium ST-10 (G-), Streptococcus mutans NCTC 10,449 (G + ), and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923(G + ). MIC values of 3 was determined as 156,25 μM on all tested bacteria. A preliminary study of the structure-activity relationship (SAR) also revealed that the antimicrobial activity depended on the substituents on the phenyl ring. The electron withdrawing Cl-substitued compound 3 most favour for antimicrobial activity even at lowest concentration compared to other compounds. DNA-cleavage activities of the compounds were also investigated. The interactions of the compounds with supercoiled pBR322 plasmid DNA were obtained by agarose gel electrophoresis. All imidazo-phenanthroline derivatives were found to be highly effective on DNA, even at the lowest concentrations because of their planar nature which provides ease of bind to the helix structure of DNA.

Every year, about 10 million new cancers are diagnosed and causing major health issues in both developing and developed countries. METHODS A series of new dihydrazones were synthesized and screened for in vitro anticancer activity against three different MDA-MB-231, A546 and MCF7 cell lines and validated by DNA binding and molecular docking approaches. RESULT In the present investigations, synthesized compounds 21, 22, 23 and 24 exhibited potent anticancer activity against tested cancer cell lines and DNA binding study using methyl green comparing to Doxorubicin and ethidium bromide as a positive control respectively. CONCLUSION The Structure Activity Relationship (SAR) showed that the electron withdrawing groups (-Cl, -NO2, - F, and -Br) favored the DNA binding studies and anticancer activity whereas, electron donating groups (-OH and - OCH3) showed moderate activity. In the molecular docking study, binding interactions of the most active compounds 21, 22, 23 and 24 stacked with A-T rich regions of the DNA minor groove by surface binding interactions were confirmed. Further, the tuning of active analogs for targeted therapy was warranted.

Abstract
A series of new functionalized 3-indolylindolin-2-ones, 3-(1-methylpyrrol-2-yl)indolin-2-ones, and 3-(thiophen-2-yl)indolin-2-ones were synthesized by using novel indium (III)-catalysed reaction of various 3-diazoindolin-2-ones with indoles, 1-methylpyrrole, or thiophene via one-pot procedure. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized and screened for their in vitro antibacterial activity against various Staphylococcus species, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. results revealed that five compounds KS15, KS16, KS17, KS19, and KS20 exhibited potent and specific antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus species albeit inactive against Gram-negative bacteria. Especially, compounds exhibited superior antibacterial potency against Staphylococcus epidermidis compared to the reference drug streptomycin. The most potential compound KS16 also increased the susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus to ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, kanamycin, and streptomycin. Among them, KS16 was found to be a synergistic compound with gentamicin and kanamycin. Furthermore, the cellular level of autolysin protein was increased from the KS16-treated Staphylococcus aureus cells. Finally, in vitro CCK-8 assays showed that KS16 exhibited no cytotoxicity at the minimum inhibitory concentrations used for killing Staphylococcus species. From all our results, novel oxindole compounds directly have lethal action or boost existing antibiotic power with the reduction of doses and toxicity in the treatment of multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus species.

Abstract
This work describes an effort to develop an antimicrobial agent (chlorogenic acid - CGA) loaded porous nanogel based on calcium phosphate-chitosan (CaPNP@Chi) nanogel with biofilm degradative properties and has potential applications in restorative dentistry. The nanogel was prepared by ionic gelation of calcium phosphate nanoparticles and chitosan in the ratio of 1.25: 1. Chlorogenic acid was loaded to the nanoparticles as an ethanolic solution and the encapsulation efficiency determined by chromatographic techniques. The particle size and morphology of CaPNP@Chi and CaPNP@Chi@CGA was determined by dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscopic techniques. The minimum inhibitory concentration against S. aureus and K. pneumoniae was determined through the well diffusion method. The biofilm formation and biofilm decay were studied through staining assays. The toxicity, if any of the nanogel was assessed by MTT assay against HaCaT cells. All data were statistically analyzed. The composite had a CGA encapsulation efficiency of 70% and was thermally stable up to 124 °C. The zone of inhibition was found to be 18.7 mm ± 0.6 against S. aureus. CaPNP@Chi@CGA showed a 68% increase in biofilm degradation when compared with the untreated group. Results obtained in this study suggest that the positively charged nanogel interacted with the bacterial cell membrane and brought about the disruption of the cell membrane. Also, CaPNP@Chi@CGA was observed to be nontoxic up to 40 μg/mL to HaCaT cells. These results support the potential of CaPNP@Chi@CGA nanogel for biofilm degradation and its application as filling material in restorative dentistry.

Abstract
Xanthene derivatives are well known for their effective biological activities. In search of effective antibacterial agents, the spiro[indoline3,9-xanthene]-trione (A) and hydroxy-spiro[indoline-3,9-xanthene]-trione (B), were synthesized and tested for in vitro antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Furthermore, the synthesized compounds were tested in vitro and in silico for their anticholinesterase activities. The anticholinesterase activities for six substitutes of the hydroxy derivative (B1-B6) were also studied through the molecular docking. All concentrations of compounds presented a dose-dependent antibacterial activity. The docking results showed that all compounds are more constant than the galantamine. Amongst, compound B1 exhibited the minimum binding energy in both AChE and BChE enzymes. Results indicate the importance of xanthene derivatives as potential antibacterial and anticholinesterases agents.

Abstract
Benzotriazole and microwave mediated syntheses led to a new set of hybrid conjugates of pyrazinoic acid with isoniazid via amino acid linkers in excellent yields with retention of chirality. Microbiological screening of the synthesized conjugates revealed an exceptionally high activity against some of the pathogenic bacterial strains at low concentrations. Promising antimycobacterial properties were observed against tuberculous and non-tuberculous mycobacteria. Robust molecular models (2D-QSAR and 3D-pharmacophore) support the observed biological properties. Safety profile of the synthesized conjugates against human normal cell (RPE1) was evaluated by MTT technique.

Abstract
Hierarchical wrinkled mesoporous silica nanoparticles (WMS NPs) bedecked with diverse functionality density of amino groups (WMSs-N2, WMSs-NN and WMSs-NNN) were first synthesized via typical Sol-Gel method, and then utilized for the in situ reduction of nanosilver with sodium borohydride. Elegantly distributed Ag NPs (ca. 7-10 nm, 3-5 nm) on WMSs-N2 and WMSs-NN without any agglomeration were obtained respectively, while Ag NPs (ca. 50 nm) dispersed on WMSs-NNN were obviously larger and slightly agglomerated. Compared to pure Ag NPs, all the obtained Ag@WMSs composites were durable and displayed much better antibacterial performance, with a minimal inhibitory concentration of 12-80 mg L-1 and a minimal bactericidal concentration of 24-108 mg L-1, respectively. Moreover, it was found that the functionality density of amino groups and the specific surface area of WMSs played a crucial role for the antibacterial performance of the obtained nanocomposites. Because WMSs-NN had higher specific surface area and surface amino density than WMSs-N2, the size and dispersion of Ag NPs on WMSs-NN were smaller and superior to those of Ag NPs on WMSs-N2, respectively. Accordingly, Ag@WMSs-NN displayed a better antibacterial capacity than Ag@WMSs-N2. As for Ag@WMSs-NNN, owing to the high loading content of Ag NPs, they exhibited the best antibacterial and bactericidal properties.
