Nano-MoO3-mediated synthesis of bioactive thiazolidin-4-ones acting as anti-bacterial agents and their mode-of-action analysis using in silico target prediction, docking and similarity searching

Thiazolidin-4-ones inhibit bacterial growth by potentially targeting the FtsK motor domain of DNA translocase ofSalmonella typhi.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of pseudostellarin B

A new potent bioactive cyclic peptide pseudostellarin B has been synthesised. The structure was elucidated by elemental analyses, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and FAB mass spectral data. The synthesised compound was also screened for its antibacterial, antifungal, antiinflammatory and anthelmintic activities.
