New sulfonamide and amide derivatives containing coumarin moieties; oxo-2H-chromen-sulfamoylphenylacetamides and oxo-2H-chromen-arylacetamides were synthesized starting from diverse 2-chloroacetamide derivatives and a wide range of coumarins. The structures of the obtained compounds were elucidated by IR and NMR spectra and also analytical elemental analysis. In the next step, the above mention...

4-(acetoacetamido) arsanilic acid (II), which was then condensed with aryl aldehydes. The resulting product on reaction with hydrazine hydrate and hydroxyl amine hydrochloride yielded Pyrazolines (IV) and Isoxazolines (V), respectively. The antimicrobial activity of compounds against a number of microorganisms was evaluated. Some of these compounds showed significant antimicrobial activity

The search for better antimicrobial agent due to rapid appearance of multidrug resistant microorganism and antimicrobial properties of semicarbazones and 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles prompted us to undertake the synthesis of a few novel N-[5-(4-substitutedphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]-N-(4substitutedbenzaldehyde)-semicarbazone and N-[5-(4-substitutedphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]-N-[1-(4s...

PURPOSE This article makes an attempt to synthesize certain compounds containing thiazole and imidazole moieties and screen for the antimicrobial properties. METHODS The novel compounds synthesized were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and (1)HNMR spectral data. The antimicrobial activity of novel compounds was evaluated by cup plate method. RESULTS The compound p-t showed more antib...

The evolving global threat of antimicrobial resistance requires a deep renewal of the antibiotic arsenal including the isolation and characterization of new drugs. Underexplored marine ecosystems may represent an untapped reservoir of novel bioactive molecules. Deep-sea fungi isolated from a record-depth sediment core of almost 2000 m below the seafloor were investigated for antimicrobial activ...

One of the biggest challenges in public health is the rising number of antibiotic resistant pathogens and the lack of novel antibiotics. In recent years there is a rising focus on fungi as sources of antimicrobial compounds due to their ability to produce a large variety of bioactive compounds and the observation that virtually every fungus may still contain yet unknown so called "cryptic," oft...

Infectious diseases are one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Nowadays many infections are often caused by multi-resistant microorganisms resulting in difficult to treat diseases and, consequently, substantial increases in healthcare costs. The relative easy access to the antimicrobials and also the massive employment of these compounds for industrial purposes, including ...
