Novel Linezolid like Analogues: Synthesis, Characterization and Biological Evaluation
The synthesis of 4-(substituted benzylidene)-2-(pyrazin-2-yl) oxazol-5(4H)-one was achieved in two steps, In first step, pyrazine-2-carboxamide dissolved in EtOH, 10% KOH solution with ClCH2COOH produced compound 2-(pyrazine-2-carboxamido) acetic acid (II) and in second step, compound (II) in (CH3CO)2O with aromatic aldehyde, and catalyst potassium ace...
متن کاملIsolation and biochemical characterization of a novel lantibiotic mutacin from Streptococcus mutans.
Certain members of the indigenous biota of humans produce antimicrobial substances called bacteriocins, which inhibit other bacteria, including members of their own species. One of these substances, mutacin, is made by Streptococcus mutans, a member of the oral biota. Mutacin inhibits other mutans streptococci as well as many gram-positive exogenous pathogens. Here, we report for the first time...
متن کاملIsolation of a Streptococcus mutans strain producing a novel bacteriocin.
A strain of Streptococcus mutans has been isolated that produces a bacteriocin with novel properties. Its antibiotic spectrum includes 123 of 124 strains of S. mutans tested and a variety of other gram-positive microorganisms. Experiments with dialysis membranes indicate that the molecular weight of the bacteriocin is less than 1,000. Mutants of the producer strain were obtained that are defici...
متن کاملAntibacterial effect of glass ionomer cement and resin cement on cariogenic bacteria of Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Streptococcus sobrinus
Background and Aim: the study of antibacterial properties of resin cements and modified glass ionomers is of great importance. The aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial effect of resin-modified glass ionomers and resin cements on cariogenic bacteria, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sabrinus and Lactobacillus acidophilus. Materials and Methods:In this experimental laboratory s...
متن کاملBiochemical and computational study of an alginate lyase produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain S21
Objective(s): Alginates play a key role in mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization, biofilm formation, and driving out of cationic antibiotics. P. aeruginosa alginate lyase (AlgL) is a periplasmic enzyme that is necessary for alginate synthesis and secretion. It also has a role in depolymerization of alginates. Using AlgLs in cystic fibrosis patients along with anti...
