Background: Cyanoacrylate tissue adhesives have been used as a substitute to silk for intraoral wound closure. Placement of sutures provides a corridor for accumulation of microorganisms into tissue which leads to infection. Cyanoacrylate-based adhesives exhibit many properties of an ideal wound closure agent, minimizing the problems generated by suturing thread. The antimicrobial properties of...

We report the synthesis and biological assessment of 1,3,4-oxadiazole substituted 24 derivatives as novel, potential antibacterial agents. The structures of the newly synthesized derivatives were established by the combined practice of UV, IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, and mass spectrometry. Further these synthesized derivatives were subjected to antibacterial activity against all the selected micro...

In the present study, chemical composition and the antibacterial mechanism of ambrette seed oil are investigated. Chemical composition of the oil was analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Thirty-five compounds were identified and the major compounds were found to be farnesol acetate (51.45%) and ambrettolide (12.96%). The antibacterial activity was performed by well diffusio...

Antibacterial peptides are researched mainly for the potential benefit they have in a variety of socially relevant diseases, used by the host to protect itself from different types of pathogenic bacteria. We used the mathematical-computational method known as Hidden Markov models (HMMs) in targeting a subset of antibacterial peptides named Selective Cationic Amphipatic Antibacterial Peptides (S...

Honey: This topic has been extensively reviewed by Bogdanov, online article with original references on www.bee-hexagon.net/files/file/fileE/Honey/7HoneyNutrientFunctional.pdf The antibacterial effect of honey, mostly against gram-positive bacteria, both bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects have been reported, against many strains, many of which are pathogenic. Honey glucose oxidase produces...

Balsamorhiza sagittata, a species of ethnopharmacological interest in British Columbia, is reported to have antibacterial and antifungal properties. An antibacterial compound isolated from this species was identified as 7,10-epithio-7,9-tridecadiene-3,5,11-triyne-1,2-diol based on the HMQC and HMBC experiments.

Glehnia littoralis F. Schmidt ssp. leiocarpa (Mathias) Hult. (Apiaceae), a species of ethnopharmacological interest in British Columbia, has antibacterial and antifungal properties. Antibacterial and antifungal compounds include two hitherto unreported polyine compounds, (9Z)1,9-heptadecadiene-4,6-diyne-3,8,11-triol and (10E)1,10-heptadecadiene-4,6-diyne-3,8,9-triol.

The novel fluorescentheterocyclic bidentate ligands have been synthesized by the high yields reaction of 8-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-Iso-butyl-3H-imidazo[4',5':3,4]benzo[1,2-c]isoxazol-5-amine with p-hydroxybenzaldehyde and p-chlorobenzaldehyde. The ligands reacted with Zn(II) ion to gained novel complexes. The optical properties of these structures were checked and the outcomes represented that t...

AIM The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of addition of 1% chlorhexidine digluconate solution on the antibacterial activity and mechanical properties of glass ionomer and resin based sealant. MATERIALS AND METHODS Conventional glass ionomer sealant (GIS) (Fuji VII, Japan) and resin sealant (Clinpro 3M ESPE, USA) were used in this study. Chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) (20%) liquid ...
