results the combination of bismuth ethanedithiol with ciprofloxacin showed synergistic inhibitory effect on the p. aeruginosa biofilm formation. the combination of bismuth ethanedithiol ciprofloxacin, ceftazidime and imipenem showed synergistic inhibitory effects on the biofilm formation. furthermore, the combination of bismuth ethanedithiol, imipenem and ceftazidime did not show any synergisti...

A synthesis procedure for heteroatom-substituted tetra(3,4-pyrido)porphyrazines that absorb light near 800 nm was developed. Based on the observed relationships between the structure and photophysical parameters, a novel highly photodynamically active (IC50 = 0.26 μM) compound was synthesized and biologically characterized.

Novel BACE-1 inhibitors with a hydroxyethylene central core have been developed. Modified P1´ and extended P1 substituents were incorporated with the aim to explore potential interactions with the S1´ and the S1-S3 pocket, respectively, of BACE-1. Inhibitors were identified displaying IC50 values in the nanomolar range, i.e. 69 nM for the most potent compound. Possible inhibitor interactions wi...

ObjectiveThe present work represents the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Withania coagulans extract and its antibacterial property. The synergy, additive, bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect of silver nanoparticles was determined against Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Salmonella typhi, and Vibrio cholerae. Methods <...

Acinetobacter baumannii is a frequently isolated etiologic agent of nosocomial infections, especially in intensive care units. With the increase in multi-drug resistance of A. baumannii isolates, finding appropriate treatment alternatives for infections caused by these bacteria has become more difficult, and available alternate treatments include the use of older antibiotics such as colistin or...

Page 6445. In Table 1, the IC50, pIC50, and LE values of compound 5 are incorrect. They should be 68± 11 nM, 7.2, and 0.89, respectively. The reported values correspond to a different chemical entity; this error was caused by a mislabeling-error in screening of the fragment library. The main text is unaffected by this error. Compound 5 was only discussed as a tolerated structural analogue of co...

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...
