background: the widespread utilization of antimicrobial compounds has caused emergence of resistant microorganisms in the world. hence, the research to probe the products with antimicrobial features has led to finding natural habitats and discovering new pharmaceutical products. methods: in this study, an attempt was made to explore the niche of novel habitat to isolate pyllospheric bacteria fr...

A series of new 3-(4-methylcoumarinyl-7-oxymethyl)-6-substitutedphenyl-5,6-dihydro-s-triazolo (3,4-b)(1,3,4)-thiadiazoles 2(a-j) have been synthesized by reacting 5-(4-methyl coumarinyl-7-oxymethyl)-4-amino-3-mercapto(4H)-1,2,4-triazole with various aromatic aldehydes by microwave assisted organic synthesis. The structure of the compounds 2 (a-j) has been confirmed by IR, (1)H NMR and mass spec...

Six new phenolic compounds, named smiglabrone A (1), smiglabrone B (2), smilachromanone (3), smiglastilbene (4), smiglactone (5), smiglabrol (6), together with fifty-seven known ones 7-63 were isolated from the rhizomes of Smilax glabra. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analyses, as well as by comparison with literature data. Twenty-seven of these compoun...

This review outlines the antimicrobial activity of secondary metabolites and lectins, compounds usually associated to defense mechanisms of plants. Secondary metabolites are separated into nitrogen compounds (alkaloids, non-protein amino acids, amines, alcamides, cyanogenic glycosides and glucosinolates) and nonnitrogen compounds (monoterpenes, diterpenes, triterpenes, tetraterpenes, sesquiterp...

Mushroom extracts or isolated compounds may be useful in the search of new potent antimicrobial agents. Herein, it is described the synthesis of protected (acetylated) glucuronide derivatives of p-hydroxybenzoic and cinnamic acids, two compounds identified in the medicinal mushroom Ganoderma lucidum. Their antimicrobial and demelanizing activities were evaluated and compared to the parent acids...

Three different formulations (infusion, pills and syrup) of Cochlospermum angolensis were characterized by HPLC-DAD-ESI/MS regarding phenolic composition, and evaluated by their in vitro antimicrobial activity against clinical isolates of multiresistant bacteria. Infusion and pills showed the highest variety of phenolic compounds, with eleven molecules identified. Protocatechuic acid was only p...

background: infectious diarrhoea is an emergent problem in both developing and developed countries for high rates of mortality in infants. in recent years, drug resistance to microbial pathogens has been commonly reported from all over the world. medicinal plants represent a rich source of antimicrobial agents. plants are used medicinally in different countries especially in india and are a sou...

A series of annulated 7-membered oxazepine and 8-membered oxazocine derivatives were synthesized by photoreaction of phthalimide derivatives and an alkene. The antimicrobial activities of the synthesized compounds were evaluated, and compounds 18 and 20 exhibited best antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. The relationships between structure (especially steric structure) and ant...

The rise in antibiotic-resistant bacteria has spurred efforts to identify novel compounds with antimicrobial activity. This brief report describes the genome sequence of threeBacillusspecies isolates from South African marine sponges, which produce compounds with antimicrobial activity. A search for secondary metabolite clusters revealed several secondary metabolite pathways in these genomes, w...
