RSC Adv 2024; 14:18519-18527. [PMID: 38860246 PMCID: PMC11164178 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra03003f] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/12/2024] Open
Abstract
The traditional pyridine nitrogen oxide-based antimicrobial agents are often associated with health risks due to heavy metal enrichment. To mitigate this concern, we synthesized two novel complexes, Pr2(mpo)6(H2O)2 and Pr(hpo)(mpo)2(H2O)2, and integrated rare-earth salts, Hhpo (2-hydroxypyridine-N-oxide) and Nampo (2-mercapto-pyridine-N-oxide sodium salt). These complexes were characterized through infrared analysis, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray crystallographic analysis. Our comparative analyses demonstrate that the synthesized rare-earth complexes exhibit stronger antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus ATCC6538) and Escherichia coli (E. coli ATCC25922) compared to the ligands and rare-earth salts alone. Quantitative results revealed the lowest inhibitory concentrations of the two complexes against S. aureus ATCC6538 and E. coli ATCC25922 at 3.125 μg mL-1, 6.25 μg mL-1, 3.125 μg mL-1 and 6.25 μg mL-1, respectively. Preliminary investigations indicated that the antibacterial mechanism of these complexes involved promoting intracellular substance exudation to achieve antibacterial effects. Incorporation of these complexes into polymeric antimicrobial films resulted in a potent antimicrobial effect, achieving a 100% inhibition rate against S. aureus ATCC6538 and E. coli ATCC25922 at a low addition level of 0.6 wt%. Our results suggest that nitrogen oxide-based praseodymium complexes have potential for various antimicrobial applications.

Abstract
The reaction of sulfamethoxazolehydrazonoyl chloride with thiosemicarbazones, bis-thiosemicarbazones, or 4-amino-3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole in dioxane in the presence of triethylamine as a basic catalyst at reflux resulted in the regioselective synthesis of thiazoles and bis-thiazoles linked to azo-sulfamethoxazole as novel hybrid molecules. The structures of the new compounds were confirmed using a range of spectra. Each compound's antibacterial properties were evaluated using the agar well-diffusion technique, and most of them demonstrated significant potency. In silico investigations revealed that the described compounds had strong interactions with the binding sites of MurE ligase, tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase, and dihydropteroate synthase, demonstrating inhibitory activity.

Abstract
With the aim to identify new antiviral agents with antibacterial properties, a series of 2-quinolone-1,2,3-triazole derivatives bearing α-aminophosphonates was synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 31P NMR, single crystal XRD and HRMS analyses. These compounds were examined against five RNA viruses (YFV, ZIKV, CHIKV, EV71 and HRV) from three distinct families (Picornaviridae, Togaviridae and Flaviviridae) and four bacterial strains (S. aureus, E. feacalis, E. coli and P. aeruginosa). The α-aminophosphonates 4f, 4i, 4j, 4k, 4p and 4q recorded low IC50 values of 6.8-10.91 μM, along with elevated selectivity indices ranging from 2 to more than 3, particularly against YFV, CHIKV and HRV-B14. Besides, the synthesized compounds were generally more sensitive toward Gram-positive bacteria, with the majority of them displaying significant potency against E. feacalis. Specifically, an excellent anti-enterococcus activity was obtained by compound 4q with MIC and MBC values of 0.03 μmol/mL, which were 8.7 and 10 times greater than those of the reference drugs ampicillin and rifampicin, respectively. Also, compounds 4f, 4p and 4q showed potent anti-staphylococcal activity with MIC values varying between 0.11 and 0.13 μmol/mL, compared to 0.27 μmol/mL for ampicillin. The results from DFT and molecular docking simulations were in agreement with the biological assays, proving the binding capability of hybrids 4f, 4i, 4j, 4k, 4p and 4q with viral and bacterial target enzymes through hydrogen bonds and other non-covalent interactions. The in silico ADME/Tox prediction revealed that these molecules possess moderate to good drug-likeness and pharmacokinetic properties, with a minimal chance of causing liver toxicity or carcinogenic effects.

Abstract
This study focuses on the prevalence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in various medical specimens. In addition, the investigates of this research shows the genetic analysis of pathogen-resistant isolates and chemical modifications to ciprofloxacin. A total of 225 specimens from men and women aged 30 to 60 were carefully collected and examined, including samples from wound, burn, urine, sputum, and ear samples. The data were obtained from AL Muthanna hospitals. PCR-RFLP and gene expression analysis were used to identify resistant strains and explore the genetic basis of antibiotic resistance. A ciprofloxacin derivative was synthesized and confirmed through FT-IR, 1H-NMR, and mass spectroscopy techniques then it was tested as antibacterial agent. Also, molecular docking study was conducted to predict the mechanism of action for the synthesized derivative. The results demonstrated that wound samples had the highest positive rate (33.7%) of P. aeruginosa isolates. The PCR-RFLP testing correlated ciprofloxacin resistance with gyrA gene mutation. Gene expression analysis revealed significant changes in the gyrA gene expression in comparison to the reference rpsL gene subsequent to exposure to the synthesized derivative. Furthermore, the molecular docking investigation illustrated the strategic positioning of the ciprofloxacin derivative within the DNA-binding site of the gyrA enzyme. The examination of genetic expression patterns manifested diverse effects attributed to the CIP derivative on P. aeruginosa, thus portraying it as a viable candidate in the quest for the development of novel antimicrobial agents. Ciprofloxacin derivative may offer new antimicrobial therapeutic options for treating Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in wound specimens, addressing resistance and gyrA gene mutations.

Abstract
The emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens creates public health challenges, prompting a continuous search for effective novel antimicrobials. This study aimed to isolate marine actinomycetes from South Africa, evaluate their in vitro antimicrobial activity against Listeria monocytogenes and Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, and characterize their mechanisms of action. Marine actinomycetes were isolated and identified by 16S rRNA sequencing. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to identify the chemical constituents of bioactive actinomycetes' secondary metabolites. Antibacterial activity of the secondary metabolites was assessed by the broth microdilution method, and their mode of actions were predicted using computational docking. While five strains showed antibacterial activity during primary screening, only Nocardiopsis dassonvillei strain SOD(B)ST2SA2 exhibited activity during secondary screening for antibacterial activity. GC-MS identified five major bioactive compounds: 1-octadecene, diethyl phthalate, pentadecanoic acid, 6-octadecenoic acid, and trifluoroacetoxy hexadecane. SOD(B)ST2SA2's extract demonstrated minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration, ranging from 0.78-25 mg/mL and 3.13 to > 25 mg/mL, respectively. Diethyl phthalate displayed the lowest bacterial protein-binding energies (kcal/mol): -7.2, dihydrofolate reductase; -6.0, DNA gyrase B; and -5.8, D-alanine:D-alanine ligase. Thus, marine N. dassonvillei SOD(B)ST2SA2 is a potentially good source of antibacterial compounds that can be used to control STEC and Listeria monocytogenes.

Abstract
We have synthesized the pyrazole-bearing Schiff base derivatives (5a-5e) and (6a-6h) then the structural confirmation was supported by various spectral analyses. The antibacterial activity of all analogs was screened against bacterial strains Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonieae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In comparison to the reference drug ciprofloxacin, the lead analogs 5c and 6c showed potent activity, with MIC values of 64 µg/mL against E. coli and B. subtilis. Compound 5c showed a moderate effect with a MIC value of 128 µg/mL against B. subtilis, P. aeruginosa and K. pneumonieae, while compound 6c was against E. coli and P. aeruginosa. Furthermore, the compounds 5c and 6c displayed groove binding mode towards CT-DNA by absorption, emission, competitive fluorescence studies using EtBr, CD and time-resolved fluorescence studies. Thermodynamic parameters of analogs 5c and 6c with CT-DNA were also calculated at 298, 303 and 308K temperatures by UV-visible spectroscopy. The molecular docking studies give the docking score for all compounds with PDB codes: 1BNA and 2XCT. The MD simulation study of analogs 5c and 6c was also carried out. The pharmacokinetic and ADME properties were calculated for all of the synthesized analogs (5a-5e) and (6a-6h).Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Pyridine, 1,3,4-thiadiazole, and 1,3-thiazole derivatives have various biological activities, such as antimicrobial, analgesic, anticonvulsant, and antitubercular, as well as other anticipated biological properties, including anticancer activity. The starting 1-(3-cyano-4,6-dimethyl-2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl)-3-phenylthiourea (2) was prepared and reacted with various hydrazonoyl halides 3a–h, α-haloketones 5a–d, 3-chloropentane-2,4-dione 7a and ethyl 2-chloro-3-oxobutanoate 7b, which afforded the 3-aryl-5-substituted 1,3,4-thiadiazoles 4a–h, 3-phenyl-4-arylthiazoles 6a–d and the 4-methyl-3- phenyl-5-substituted thiazoles 8a,b, respectively. The structures of the synthesized products were confirmed by spectral data. All of the compounds also showed remarkable anticancer activity against the cell line of human colon carcinoma (HTC-116) as well as hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG-2) compared with the Harmine as a reference under in vitro condition. 1,3,4-Thiadiazole 4h was found to be most promising and an excellent performer against both cancer cell lines (IC50 = 2.03 ± 0.72 and 2.17 ± 0.83 µM, respectively), better than the reference drug (IC50 = 2.40 ± 0.12 and 2.54 ± 0.82 µM, respectively). In order to check the binding modes of the above thiadiazole derivatives, molecular docking studies were performed that established a binding site with EGFR TK.

Abstract
A new family of pyrazole-based compounds (1–15) was synthesized and characterized using different physicochemical analyses, such as FTIR, UV-Visible, 1H, 13C NMR, and ESI/LC-MS. The compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antifungal and antibacterial activities against several fungal and bacterial strains. The results indicate that some compounds showed excellent antibacterial activity against E. coli, S. aureus, C. freundii, and L. monocytogenes strains. In contrast, none of the compounds had antifungal activity. Molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) map analyses and inductive and mesomeric effect studies were performed to study the relationship between the chemical structure of our compounds and the biological activity. In addition, molecular docking and virtual screening studies were carried out to rationalize the antibacterial findings to characterize the modes of binding of the most active compounds to the active pockets of NDM1 proteins.

Abstract
Three sets of isatin-based Schiff bases were synthesized utilizing the molecular hybridization approach. Some of the synthesized Schiff bases show significant to moderate antiproliferative properties against MCF7 (breast), HCT116 (colon), and PaCa2 (pancreatic) cancer cell line with potency compared to reference drugs 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and sunitinib. Among all, compound 17f (3-((1,5-dimethyl-3-oxo-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)imino)-1-((1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)-5-methylindolin-2-one) exhibits promising antiproliferative properties against the MCF7 cancer cell line with 2.1-fold more potency than sunitinib. However, among all the synthesized compounds three (5-methylisatin derivatives) were the most effective against HCT116 in comparison to 5-FU. Compound 17f exhibited the highest anti-angiogenic effect on the vasculature as it significantly reduced BV from 43 mm to 2 mm in comparison to 5.7 mm for Sunitinib and flow cytometry supports the arrest of the cell cycle at G1/S phases. In addition, compound 17f also showed high VEGFR-2 inhibition properties against breast cancer cell lines. Robust 2D-QSAR studies supported the biological data.

ACS OMEGA 2022; 7:4970-4990. [PMID: 35187315 PMCID: PMC8851638 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.1c05801] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2021] [Accepted: 01/25/2022] [Indexed: 05/05/2023]
Abstract
A series of thiazol-4-one/thiophene-bearing pyrazole derivatives as pharmacologically attractive cores were initially synthesized using a hybridization approach. All structures were confirmed using spectra analysis techniques (IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR). In vitro antimicrobial activities, including the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal/fungicidal concentration (MBC/MFC), and time-kill assay, were evaluated for the most active derivatives 4a, 5a, 7b, 10, and 13. These derivatives were significantly active against the tested pathogens, with compound 7b as the most active derivative (MIC values range from 0.22 to 0.25 μg/mL). In the MBC and MFC, the active target pyrazole derivatives showed -cidal activities toward the pathogenic isolates. Further, the inhibition of biofilm formation of Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis was also carried out. Additionally, these derivatives displayed significant antibiofilm potential with a superior % reduction in the biofilm formation compared with Ciprofloxacin. The target derivatives behaved synergistically with Ciprofloxacin and Ketoconazole, reducing their MICs. Hemolytic results revealed that these derivatives were nontoxic with a significantly low hemolytic activity (%lysis range from 3.23 to 15.22%) compared with Triton X-100 and showed noncytotoxicity activity with IC50 values > 60 μM. In addition, these derivatives proved to be active DNA gyrase and DHFR inhibitors with IC50 ranging between 12.27-31.64 and 0.52-2.67 μM, respectively. Furthermore, compound 7b showed bactericidal activity at different concentrations in the time-kill assay. Moreover, a gamma radiation dose of 10.0 kGy was efficient for sterilizing compound 7b and enhancing its antimicrobial activity. Finally, molecular docking simulation of the most promising derivatives exhibited good binding energy with different interactions.

Abstract
Novel annulated azaheterocycles of benzo[1,2,4]triazoloazepine and tetrahydronaphtho[1,2-e][1,2,4]triazine derivatives have been synthesized. Treatment of 2-diazenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl acetates with BF3·Et2O generates 1-aza-2-azoniaallenium cation intermediates (or azocarbenium ions), which are intercepted by nitriles via cascade polar [3+ + 2]-cycloaddition/rearrangement reactions to afford benzo[1,2,4]triazoloazepinium salts. These literature unprecedented fused tricycle compounds have been shown to exhibit antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus with in silico docking studies, suggesting that they may exhibit their antibiotic activity through inhibition of DNA gyrase. Additionally, when ethyl 2-(1-acetoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl)diazene-1-carboxylate is employed, the reaction with BF3·Et2O produces 1,2-diaza-1,3-diene, which reacts with nitriles via a diaza-Diels-Alder reaction with inverse electron demand, leading to ethyl tetrahydronaphtho[1,2-e][1,2,4]triazine carboxylates. The DFT calculation has been performed to further prove the D-A reaction speculation.

Abstract
Three different complexes, TMeQ[6]-TBT, Q[7]-TBT, and Q[8]-TBT are constructed by three different cucurbiturils and synthesized by guest melamine-cored Schiff bases (TBT) through outer-surface interaction and host-guest interactions. TBT forms a TMeQ[6]-TBT complex with TMeQ[6] through outer-surface interaction, while Q[7]-TBT and Q[8]-TBT form complexes with Q[7,8] through host-guest interactions. Among them, Q[7]-TBT is selected as a UV detector for the detection of silver ions (Ag+). This work makes full use of the characteristics of each cucurbituril and melamine-cored Schiff base to construct a series of complexes and these are applied to metal detection.

Abstract
The scientific interest in developing new complexes as inhibitors of bacterial biofilm related infections is constantly rising. The present work describes the chemical synthesis, structural and biological scrutiny of a triazole Schiff base ligand and its corresponding complexes. Triazole Schiff base, (2-methoxy-4-[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylimino)methyl]phenol) was synthesized from the condensation reaction of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde in an equimolar ratio. The triazole ligand (H2L) was characterized by physical (solubility, color, melting point), spectroscopic [UV-visible (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) and mass spectra (MS)] and micro analysis to evaluate their elemental composition. The bidentate ligand was complexed with transition metal [VO(IV), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II)] in 1:2 molar ratio. The complexes were characterized by physical (color, solubility, decomposition temperature, conductance and magnetic moment), FT-IR, UV-Vis and elemental analysis. Thermal stability and fluorescence properties of the compounds were also determined. Density functional theory based theoretical calculations were accomplished to gain more insight into spectroscopic properties. The frontier molecular orbital analysis revealed that the ligand was less reactive with reduced electron donating capability and more kinetic stability than complexes. The as-synthesized compounds were scrutinized for anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activity against selected strains. Cobalt complex exhibited highest antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and nickel complex has shown highest antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger. All the compounds also showed good antioxidant activity. The theoretical results reflect consistency with the experimental findings signifying that such compounds could be the promising chemical scaffolds in the near future against microbial infectious.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The great emergence of multi-resistant bacterial strains and the low renewal of antibiotics molecules are leading human and veterinary medicine to certain therapeutic impasses. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find new therapeutic alternatives including new molecules in the current treatments of infectious diseases. Methionine aminopeptidase (MetAP) is a promising target for developing new antibiotics because it is essential for bacterial survival. OBJECTIVE To screen for potential MetAP inhibitors by in silico virtual screening of the ZINC database and evaluate the best potential lead molecules by in vitro studies. METHODS We have considered 200,000 compounds from the ZINC database for virtual screening with FlexX software to identify potential inhibitors against bacterial MetAP. Nine chemical compounds of the top hits predicted were purchased and evaluated in vitro. The antimicrobial activity of each inhibitor of MetAP was tested by the disc-diffusion assay against one Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and two Gram-negative (Escherichia coli & Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria. Among the studied compounds, compounds ZINC04785369 and ZINC03307916 showed promising antibacterial activity. To further characterize their efficacy, the minimum inhibitory concentration was determined for each compound by the microdilution method which showed significant results. RESULTS These results suggest compounds ZINC04785369 and ZINC03307916 as promising molecules for developing MetAP inhibitors. CONCLUSION Furthermore, they could therefore serve as lead molecules for further chemical modifications to obtain clinically useful antibacterial agents.

Abstract
Tyrosinase inhibition is very important in controlling melanin synthesis. If melanin synthesis is not controlled in metabolism, an unwanted increase in melanin synthesis occurs. As melanin plays a role in the formation of skin color, its unusual levels cause some skin disorders such as pregnancy scars, age spots, and especially skin cancer (melanoma). However, the tyrosinase activity is also related to Parkinson's disease and some neurodegenerative diseases. For all these reasons, the medicinal as well as the cosmetic industries focus on research on tyrosinase inhibitors for the treatment of skin disorders and some neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, 32 new 1,2,4-triazole-(thio)semicarbazide hybrid molecules (6a-p and 7a-p) were synthesized, starting from 4-amino-1-pentyl-3-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5(4H)-one. These compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory activity against mushroom tyrosinase. The results indicated that 6h, 6m, 6n, and 6p exhibited the most effective inhibitory activity, with IC50 values of 0.00162 ± 0.0109, 0.00166 ± 0.0217, 0.00165 ± 0.019, and 0.00197 ± 0.0063 μM, respectively, compared with kojic acid as the reference drug (IC50 = 14.09 ± 0.02 μM). Also, molecular docking analyses were performed to suggest possible binding poses for the ligands. As a result, derivatives 6h, 6m, 6n, and 6p can be used as promising tyrosinase inhibitor candidates in the medicinal, cosmetics, or food industries.

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
Replication proteins are sought as a potential targets for antimicrobial agents. Despite their promising target characteristics, only topoisomerase II inhibitors targeting DNA gyrase and/or topoisomerase IV have reached clinical use. Topoisomerases are the enzymes that are essential for cellular functions and various biological activities. A wide range of natural and synthetic compounds have been identified as potential topoisomerase inhibitors but the resistance is most commonly found in these drugs. The emergence of FQ resistance has increased the need for the development of novel topoisomerase inhibitors with efficacy and high potency against FQ-resistant strains. Besides structural modifications of existing FQ scaffolds, novel non-quinolone topoisomerase II inhibitors, known as novel bacterial topoisomerase inhibitors, have been developed which showed remarkable inhibitory activity against DNA gyrase/topoisomerase IV or both with an improved spectrum of antibacterial potency including drug-resistant strains. This review aims to summarize various recent advancements in the medicinal chemistry of topoisomerase inhibitors with the following objectives: (1) To represent inclusive data on types of topoisomerases and various marketed topoisomerase inhibitors as drugs; (2) To discuss the recent advances in the medicinal chemistry of various topoisomerase inhibitors (DNA gyrase and topo IV) belonging to different structural classes as potential antibacterial agents; (3) To summarizes the structure activity relationship (SAR) including in silico and mechanistic studies to afford ideas and to provide focused direction for the development of new chemical entities which are effective against drug-resistant bacterial pathogens and biofilms.

Abstract
![]()
Thiazoles,
their benzofused systems, and thiazolidinone derivatives
are widely recognized as nuclei of great value for obtaining molecules
with various biological activities, including analgesic, anti-inflammatory,
anti-HIV, antidiabetic, antitumor, and antimicrobial. In particular,
in the past decade, many compounds bearing these heterocycles have
been studied for their promising antibacterial properties due to their
action on different microbial targets. Here we assess the recent development
of this class of compounds to address mechanisms underlying antibiotic
resistance at both bacterial-cell and community levels (biofilms).
We also explore the SAR and the prospective clinical application of
thiazole and its benzofused derivatives, which act as inhibitors of
mechanisms underlying antibiotic resistance in the treatment of severe
drug-resistant infections. In addition, we examined all bacterial
targets involved in their antimicrobial activity reporting, when described,
their spontaneous frequencies of resistance.

Abstract
Imine functionality is found in many compounds with important biological activity. Thus, the development of novel synthetic approaches for imines is important. In this work, it is propose an easy, eco-friendly and straightforward synthesis pathway of aryl imines under microwave irradiation catalyzed by Alumina-sulfuric acid. In addition, the in vitro enzymatic inhibition, antioxidant activity and molecular docking studies were performed. The aryl imines were isolated with yields in the range of 37-94%. All aryl imines synthesized were evaluated for in vitro inhibitory potential against α-glucosidase and α-amylase enzymes and the results exhibited that the most of the compounds displayed inhibitory activity against both enzymes. The (E)-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-N-(pyridin-2-yl)methanimine (3d) was 1.15-fold more active than acarbose against α-amylase whilst the (E)-1-phenyl-N-(pyridin-2-yl)methanimine (3c) displayed similar activity that acarbose against α-glucosidase. The molecular docking studies in α-glucosidase and α-amylase reveal that aryl imines mainly establish an H-bond with the R2-subtituent and hydrophobic interactions with the R1-subtituent. The docking analysis reveals these synthetic aryl imines 3d-i interact in same active site than acarbose drug in both enzymes.

Abstract
The rapid emergence of bacterial resistance to antibiotics currently available for treating infectious diseases requires effective antimicrobial agents with new structural profiles and mechanisms of action. Twenty-three thiazolin-4-one derivatives were evaluated for their antibacterial activity by determining the growth inhibition zone diameter, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Compounds 3a-c, 3e-h, 6b-c and 9a-c expressed better MIC values than moxifloxacin, against Staphylococcus aureus. Compounds 3h and 9b displayed similar effect to indolmycin, a tryptophanyl-tRNA ligase inhibitor. Due to their structural analogy to indolmycin, all compounds were subjected to molecular docking on tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase. Compounds 3a-e, 6a-e, 8 and 9a-e exhibited better binding affinities towards the target enzymes than indolmycin. The antioxidant potential of the compounds was evaluated by four spectrophotometric methods. Thiazolin-4-ones 3e, 6e and 9e presented better antiradical activity than ascorbic acid, trolox and BHT, used as references.

Abstract
Schiff bases (SBs) are chemical compounds displaying a significant pharmacological potential. They are able to modulate the activity of many enzymes involved in metabolism and are found among antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiproliferative drugs. A new thiazolyl-triazole SB was obtained and characterized by elemental and spectral analysis. The antibacterial and antifungal ability of the SB was evaluated against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and against three Candida strains. SB showed good antibacterial activity against L. monocytogenes and P. aeruginosa; it was two times more active than ciprofloxacin. Anti-Candida activity was twofold higher compared with that of fluconazole. The effect of the SB on cell viability was evaluated by colorimetric measurement on cell cultures exposed to various SB concentrations. The ability of the SB to modulate oxidative stress was assessed by measuring MDA, TNF-α, SOD1, COX2, and NOS2 levels in vitro, using human endothelial cell cultures exposed to a glucose-enriched medium. SB did not change the morphology of the cells. Experimental findings indicate that the newly synthetized Schiff base has antibacterial activity, especially on the Gram-negative P. aeruginosa, and antifungal activity. SB also showed antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.

Abstract
Antibiotics are commonly used to fight against bacterial infections, but bacteria have already been resistant to almost all antibiotics due to abuse of antibiotics. 1,2,4-Triazole derived compounds possess chemotherapeutic effects including potential antibacterial activities against drug-sensitive as well as drug-resistant pathogens. Hybridization displays a high potential to develop novel drugs with the capacity to overcome drug resistance, reduce toxicity and improve pharmacokinetic profiles. More effective antibacterial candidates might be obtained by the hybridization of 1,2,4-triazole with other antibacterial pharmacophores. This review summarizes the recent advances of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives as potential antibacterial compounds, and the structure-activity relationship is also discussed.

Abstract
To develop new antibacterial agents, a series of novel triazole-containing pyrazole ester derivatives were designed and synthesized and their biological activities were evaluated as potential topoisomerase II inhibitors. Compound 4d exhibited the most potent antibacterial activity with Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) alues of 4 µg/mL, 2 µg/mL, 4 µg/mL, and 0.5 µg/mL against Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella gallinarum, respectively. The in vivo enzyme inhibition assay 4d displayed the most potent topoisomerase II (IC50 = 13.5 µg/mL) and topoisomerase IV (IC50 = 24.2 µg/mL) inhibitory activity. Molecular docking was performed to position compound 4d into the topoisomerase II active site to determine the probable binding conformation. In summary, compound 4d may serve as potential topoisomerase II inhibitor.

Abstract
Bacterial fatty acid synthase system is a well validated target for the development of novel antimicrobial agents. This study reports the synthesis of Schiff bases and their reductive N-benzylanilines. Most N-benzylanilines were active against Gram-positive bacteria, among which compound 4k performed best against both S. aureus and MRSA with the MIC value at 0.5 mg/L. Moreover, we identified the strong antibacterial activity for compound 4k against 19 clinical MRSA strains isolated from different specimen, which indicated its potential in clinical application. In vitro biofilm inhibition and microscopy assay revealed compound 4k inhibits biofilm formation and eradicates preformed biofilm effectively. The size-exclusion chromatography and docking study indicated that compound 4k mimics the binding mode of triclosan with saFabI. The efficiency of the protein-inhibitor interaction was evaluated by measuring NADPH reduction using trans-2-octenoyl-CoA as substrate. Overall, our data demonstrate that N-benzylaniline is a promising scaffold for anti-staphylococcal drug development.

Abstract
The current study reports the synthesis of copper complexes of a tridentate Schiff base ligand. The compounds of the type [Cu(L)X]∙n(H2O) (where L = tridentate ONN Schiff base ligand, X = Cl−, Br−, SCN−, NO3−, CH3COO−), were characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, FT-IR, UV-vis, molar conductance, 1H-NMR, XRD and thermal analyses. The spectra revealed that the Schiff base ligand acts as a tridentate ligand through two azomethine nitrogen atoms and a phenolic oxygen atom. The molar conductance measurements of the complexes in DMF correspond to non-electrolytic nature. TGA and DTA studies results gave insight into the dehydration, thermal stability, and thermal decomposition. Square-planar geometry has been assigned to the prepared complexes as indicated by the electronic spectral measurements. Cu(II) compounds showed antiradical potential against DPPH and ABTS radicals. The antimicrobial potential of the Schiff base ligand and its Cu(II) complexes were evaluated by the rapid p-iodonitrotetrazolium chloride (INT) colorimetric assay against some selected bacteria strains: Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis (Gram +ve); Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Gram −ve), and fungi (Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans). The compounds showed a broad spectrum of antibacterial and antifungal activities, with MIC values ranging from 48.83 to 3125 μg/mL.

Abstract
A series of linear dipeptide derivatives (4–10) were prepared and evaluated as antimicrobial agents via the synthesis of N-(2-(2-hydrazinyl-2-oxoethylamino)-2-oxoethyl) nicotinamide (4). Compound 4 was reacted with 4-chlorobenzaldehyde or 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, to give the hydrazones 5 and 6, respectively. On the other hand, Compound 4 was coupled with phenylisocyanate or methylisothiocyanate to give Compounds 7 and 8, respectively. The latter compounds (7 and 8) were coupled with chloroacetic acid to give oxazolidine (9) and thiazolidine (10), respectively. The newly synthesized dipeptide compounds were confirmed by means of their spectral data. The antimicrobial activity of the newly synthesized compounds 4–10 was evaluated by agar well diffusion, and they showed good activity. Compounds 4, 5, and 9 gave the most promising activity in this study. Most of the tested compounds possessed MIC values ranging from 50 to 500 µg/mL. Furthermore, docking studies were carried out on enoyl reductase from E. coli and cytochrome P450 14 α-sterol demethylase (Cyp51) from Candida albicans active sites. The MolDock scores of the seven tested compounds ranged between −117 and −171 and between −107 and −179, respectively.
