synthesis and the combination effects of dihydropyridine analogs with selected antibiotics against resistant staphylococcus aureus
Authors
abstract
bacterial resistance is a major drawback in chemotherapy of infectious diseases. in this investigation a new series of 3,5-diarylamide dihydropyridines containing 2-benzylsulfonylimidazol at 4 position have been synthesized and studied for their enhancing effect on the antibacterial activities of different penicillins against a resistant clinical isolate of s. aureus using disc diffusion method. during preliminary screening, compound 6d showed the most enhancing effect on the antibacterial activity of amoxicillin against the test strain and the combination effect of this compound has been further studied with penicillin g and piperacillin against staphylococcus aureus . the result of this evaluation showed that the antibacterial activities of penicillin g and piperacillin can be also enhanced by compound 6d suggesting a possible utilization of this compound in combination therapy against penicillin resistant s. aureus .

Effects of Luteolin and Quercetin in Combination with Some Conventional Antibiotics against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of flavonoids luteolin (L) and quercetin + luteolin (Q + L) in combination with commonly used antibacterial agents against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clinical isolates and S. aureus (ATCC 43300). Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of L and Q + L, as well as the MICs of flavonoids in combination with antibiotics...

Our previous studies revealed that alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) is strongly active against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) including methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Killing due to α-MSH occurred by perturbation of the bacterial membrane. In the present study, we investigated the in vitro synergistic potential of α-MSH with five selected conventional antibiotics viz., o...

We compared in this study the in vitro potency of some antibiotics when used singly and in combination against the multi-drugs resistant Staphylococcus aureus using the wells diffusion in agar. Rifampin, vancomycin, tetracycline and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole were randomly selected for this study. The isolate of S. aureus used in this study was previously characterized in our laboratory as m...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is a serious clinical problem worldwide. The aim of the present study was to examine the antimicrobial activity of oxyresveratrol (ORV) against MRSA. The antimicrobial activity of ORV was evaluated against three strains of MRSA and one methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) strain using a minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) assay...
