Fractions obtained from partitioning of aerial methanolic extract of Euphorbia Aellenii with chloroform (E2), ethyl acetate (E3), n-butanol (E4) and water (E5) were investigated in vitro for their phytotoxicity, insecticidal, anti-leishmanial, cytotoxicity, antibacterial and antifungal activities. Sample E2 appeared to have significant phytotoxic activity. In the insecticidal screening study o...

Abstract: A series of N-[2-(8-metoxy-2H-chromen-2-one)ethyl] piperazinyl quinolones containing a carbonyl related functional groups (oxo or oxyimino) on the ethyl spacer of coumarin and piperazin rings was synthesized and studied for their antibacterial and antifungal activities . The synthesis of compounds (6a-6l) was achieved through the versatile and efficient synthetic route that involved r...

A series of 2-((arylamino)methyl)-5-(3-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione derivatives have been synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, NMR, mass spectral and elemental analysis. Compounds (MM4a-m) have been evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activity against selected gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and in vitro antifungal activity against fungal pathogens by us...

introduction: antibacterial activity is one of the desirable properties of an ideal sealer. this study aimed to compare the antimicrobial effect of three different sealers, i.e. resin (ah26), calcium hydroxide (apexit) and zinc oxide eugenol (zoe) based sealers.   materials and methods: direct contact test with agar diffusion was used in this in vitro study. the freshly mixed sealers were ah26,...

Objective: Intravascular catheter-associated infection has been increasing hospitalization in post-surgery patients mainly due to microbial colonization of the catheter surface and formation of a superficial biofilm layer. The present study is aimed in developing an effective antibacterial device which can prevent colonization of organisms by modification of catheter. Methods: In the present st...

The antibacterial activity of some substituted benzimidazole derivatives against Gram negative bacteria Escherichia coli was investigated. The tested compounds displayed in vitro inhibitory activity and their minimum inhibitory concentrations were determined. Quantitative structure-activity relationship has been used to study the relationships between the antibacterial activity and lipophilicit...
