To test for antimicrobial activity, crude extractions of the fruit of Barringtonia edulis were performed using traditional Hawaiian implements of a stone grinder (poi pounder) and a wooden board. The Kirby-Bauer method was used to test the antimicrobial properties of these extractions against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albican...

A series of N-substituted thiazolidine-2,4-dione derivatives bearing potentially bioactive substituents were synthesized by microwave irradiation method. Structural elucidation was accomplished by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, Mass and elemental analyses. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for antimicrobial activities. Among the compounds studied, compounds 4i and 4d showed potent antimicrobial ac...

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...

A novel N-(sugar pyranosyl) thienopyrimidine 4-amine derivatives were synthesized. These derivatives were identified on the basis of melting point range, Rf values, IR and 1H NMR spectral analysis. The derivatives were screened for antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities. The derivatives exhibited significant to moderate antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities.

Schiff bases are the most widely used organic compounds in which the carbonyl group is replaced by an imine or azomethine group. These compounds are very important in medicinal and pharmaceutical fields because of their wide spectrum. Most of them show biological activities such as antimicrobial and antifungal activity. This review summarizes the synthesis and antimicrobial activities of Schiff...

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...

the in vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the essential oil and methanolic extract of achillea sieheana staf. (asteraceae) were investigated in this study. the chemical composition of the essential oil isolated by hydro-distillation from the aerial parts of a. sieheana was analyzed by gc–ms. camphor (43.36%), artemisia ketone (25.95%), 1.8-cineole (6.29%) and camphene (4.77%) wer...
