Schiff bases are a class of organic compounds which have good chelating properties. Due to this, they can form complexes with metal ions the transition series. and their derivatives bioactive hence find widespread uses in various fields inorganic, medicinal chemistry. These synthesised by condensation reactions been studied extensively as exhibit biological properties like anti-oxidant, anti-fu...

In the course of screening for biological active compounds from microbial origins, various strains were isolated from roots of Mimosa pudica using standard dilution agar plate method. One isolate was selected for further studies of bacterial anti-fungal properties. It was designated MSSP and identified as Burkholderia sp. by many biological characteristics such as carbohydrate utilization, bioc...

AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-fungal activity of Morinda citrifolia fruit extract on Candida albicans. MATERIALS AND METHODS Juice extract from M. citrifolia fruit was lyophilized and used in anti-fungal testing. Anti-fungal activity of M. citrifolia fruit extract against C. albicans was tested in vitro at various concentrations. The inhibitory effect of M. citrifolia ...

I was diagnosed several years ago with Meniere's disease. In 2009, it had progressed to the point where I was unable to function. I was ready to file for disability until serendipity led me to be treated with nystatin and systemic anti-fungal drugs. The anti-fungal drugs have brought about almost complete relief from my Meniere's and Migraine symptoms (documented with hearing tests). I have als...

Zygomycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection with a high mortality rate. It is known to cause invasive disease in immunocompromised hosts but it may produce only cutaneous/ subcutaneous infections in immunocompetent hosts. Treatment is difficult due to its fulminant course and lack of effective anti-fungal drugs. Here, we report a rare case of subcutaneous zygomycosis caused by Mucor hiemal...

substituted 1, 2, 4- triazoles have shown multiple biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti fungal, etc. 5-mercapto triazoles were prepared from the potassium dithiocarbazinates. these triazoles were used for preparation of different derivatives by two different schemes. in the first scheme the mannich bases were prepared from 5- marcapto-s triazole quinazolines. the 5-marcato-s-tr...
