In the present work, a series of new 5-substituted-3-(4-arylimino)-1-[5-mercapto(1,3,4-oxadiazolyl)]-methyl-indol-2-one (4a-g) have been synthesized by heterocyclization of 5-substituted-3-(4-arylimino)-2-oxo-1-indole acetylhyrazide (3a-g) on treatment with CS2 in ethanolic KOH. The compound 4a was characterized by its elemental analysis, IR, 1HNMR and Mass Spectroscopy. The synthesized compoun...

Traditionally, Myrtus communis (myrtle) has been used for treatment of several kinds of disorders. However, there are some factors, namely, low solubility and permeability, which restrict use of myrtle extract (ME) in medical applications. Regarding these limitations, the aim of the present study was to develop a new niosomal formulation to enhance ME stability and permeability. Briefly, sever...

The antimicrobial activity of 18 different extracts from in vivo and in vitro grown L. album L. plants was evaluated against clinical bacteria and yeasts using the well diffusion method. All the used extracts demonstrated antibacterial activity, whereas only the water extracts from leaves (in vivo) possessed antifungal activity against Candida albicans NBIMCC 72 and Candida glabrata NBIMCC 8673...

starting from readily available 2-substituted-4-methylthiazole-5-carboxylic acid hydrazide (1), the title compounds were prepared. the reaction of compound 1 (r=ch3) with formic acid yielded 1-(formyl)-2-(2,4-dimethylthiazole-5-carboxyl) hydrazine (2). refluxing the latter with phosphorous pentasulfide in xylene afforded compound 3, the reaction of compound 2 with phosphorous pentoxide afforded...

three native turkish medicinal and aromatic plants (artemisia absinthum, artemisia santonicum and saponaria officinalis) were investigated to analyze their antioxidant activity, total phenolic content and antimicrobial activity. their total antioxidant activity was determined by using a β-carotene bleaching assay and their antimicrobial activity was determined by utilizing an agar disc diffusio...

abstractthe aim of the present study was to formulate poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (plga) nanoparticles loaded with 18-β-glycyrrhetinic acid (gla) with appropriate physicochemical properties and antimicrobial activity. gla loaded plga nanoparticles were prepared with different drug to polymer ratios, acetone contents and sonication times and the antibacterial activity of the developed nanopartic...

Background & Objective:  Perovskia abrotanoides Karel locally known as Brazambal, is widely used in medical practice to treat various disorders. Burn is a common source of injury and Brazambal ointment has been extensively used in burn wound healing in North of Iran. The purpose of this study was to examine the healing effect of Brazambal ointment in experimental model of burn. In addition, in-...

a number of studies have attempted to demonstrate the antibacterial properties of skin mucus from different species of fish such as turbot, atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, gold fish, seabass, seabream, flounder, barramundi, cichlid and yellowtail . however, most have suffered from alack of definitive data concerning the virulence of the organisms used for in vitro assessment of antibacterial pr...
