Release of antimicrobial drugs in a controlled fashion for extended duration of time has been investigated for long. Such controlled-drug-releasing materials show promising applications in medicinal bandages. Along with antimicrobial agents, one could also incorporate other therapeutic drugs, to make such bandages more versatile. In this context, silica micro particles were synthesized using direct reduction method, in which the synthesis was done in the presence of Cephalexin. Cephalexin was chosen as an antimicrobial candidate. The morphological characterization shows formation of monodispersed, silica microparticles of similar to 200 nm in size. The FTIR spectroscopy shows weak interaction of the drug molecule at its hydroxide (OH) site with oxygen ions on the silica surface. Upon conjugation, the UV-vis spectroscopy shows persistence of the Cephalexin signature, especially its R group, confirming its antimicrobial activity even after conjugation. Loading studies reveal 12% Cephalexin loading on silica. The antimicrobial studies were done on three micro-organisms, namely, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli. Using zone-of-inhibition studies, it was found that E. coli, did not respond to the delivery of Cephalexin either directly or via microparticles. However, for both S. aureus and B. subtilis, the particles showed controlled release of Cephalexin for the duration of 48 h and continued maintenance and even increase in the zone of inhibition. This work demonstrates an effective protocol to prepare antimicrobial patches for controlled drug delivery. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

We have developed eco-friendly route for the synthesis of title compounds by using simple compounds like aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile, 4-bromothiophenol and NaHCO3. In continuation to this, a series of pyridine-3,5-dicarbonitriles were synthesized with excellent yields and assessed for their invitro antitubercular and antimicrobial activity. The results of the antimicrobial study showed potent antimicrobial activity as compared to the standard drugs (Chloramphenicol and Griseofulvin). It was noticed that the presence of electron donating groups significantly increases the antibacterial activity of the newly synthesized compounds. The title compounds further evaluated for antitubercular activity and from the promising results, they were found to possess significant biological activity against M. tuberculosis.

The present study is an attempt to improvise the hydrodynamic cavitation methodology for effective disinfection of water and also to suggest prototype development for practical application. The enhancement in the disinfection efficiency was evaluated specifically for the effect of pressure, temperature, pH, microbial inoculum size and also on effect of different additives for the two model microbial strains, gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus). The efficacy of the hydrodynamic cavitation is evaluated for the two types of flows/cavitation devices - linear flow in the case of orifice and vortex flow for vortex diode. The vortex diode requires significantly lower pressures, 50% lower as compared to orifice for the similar extent of disinfection. While the bacterial disinfection at high temperature is known, the usefulness of hydrodynamic cavitation is especially evident at ambient conditions and the process is effective even at very high concentrations of bacteria, not reported so far. The reactor geometry also has significant effect on the disinfection. The present study, for the first time, reports possible use of different natural oils such as castor oil, cinnamon oil, eucalyptus oil and clove oil in conjunction with hydrodynamic cavitation. The nature of oil modifies the cavitation behavior and an order of magnitude enhancement in the cavitation rate was observed for the two oils, eucalyptus and clove oil for a very small concentration of 0.1%. The increased rates of disinfection, of the order of 2-4 folds, using oil can drastically reduce the time of operation and consequently reduce cost of disinfection. A possible mechanism is proposed for the effect of oil and hydrodynamic cavitation in cell destruction through the rupture of cell wall, oxidative damage and possible DNA denaturation. A cavitation model using per pass disinfection was used to correlate the data. The increased efficiency using oils and possible benefits of the developed process, where natural oils can be perceived as biocatalysts, can have significant advantages in practical applications.

This study reports a simple, green, and large-scale biosynthetic fabrication of spherical copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs), approximate 28 nm, using the aqueous extracts of Diaplazium esulentum (Retz.) Sw. fern. Characterization was carried out for morphology, size, elemental analysis, crystallinity and for identification of functionalities responsible for reduction and stabilization. Extraordinary remediation efficiency was obtained for the developed Cu NPs for the elimination of two industrially important pollutants; Methyl Violet 6B and Methylene Blue (greater than 92 % within 150 mins). A mechanism was postulated for the process using the data on the identification of NPs and also spent NPs apart from degraded products. Furthermore, the Cu NPs revealed excellent antibacterial activity against gram positive bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumonia and Bacillus subtilis, as well as gram negative bacteria: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and potential action against fungal strains; Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans. Additionally, the assay depicted that Cu NPs has fairly decent radical scavenging activity with IC50 value 2.11 mM. Moreover, the Cu NPs were found to exhibit profound anticancerous activity against two human cancer line cells. The present research work has implications for exploitation of DE fern extract for the development of Cu NPs and their numerous applications ranging from pollutants removal to antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant and anticancerous agents.

In search of new active molecules, a small focused library of tetrazoloquinoline-based 1,2,3-triazoles has been efficiently preparedviaclick chemistry approach. Several derivatives were found to be exhibiting promising antimicrobial and antioxidant activity characterized by their lower minimum inhibitory concentration values. All the synthesized compounds exhibited excellent antibacterial activity against Gram negative bacteriaE. coliandF. devoransand antifungal activity againstC. albicansandA. niger. Further, these compounds were tested for their antitubercular activity against dormantMTB H37Raand dormantM. bovis BCGusing XRMA assay protocol and showed no significant activity. Also, the synthesized compounds were found to have potential antioxidant activity with IC(50)range = 12.48-50.20 mu g/mL. Furthermore, to rationalize the observed biological activity data, the molecular docking study also been carried out against the active site of fungalC. albicansenzyme P450 cytochrome lanosterol 14 alpha-demethylase, which revealed a significant correlation between the binding score and biological activity for these compounds. The results of thein vitroandin silicostudy suggest that the triazole-incorporated tetrazoloquinolines may possess the ideal structural requirements for further development of novel therapeutic agents.

A largely bio-based new bisphenol, namely, 4,4 `-((3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)methylene)-bis(2-methoxyphenol) (DMBM) was synthesized by the reaction of veratraldehyde with guaiacol. DMBM and varying compositions of DMBM and bisphenol A were polycondensed with bis(4-fluorophenyl) sulfone to afford reasonably high molecular weight film-forming (co)poly(ether sulfone)s possessing built-in methoxyl groups. T10 and Tg values of (co)poly(ether sulfone)s were in the range 382-478 degrees C and 171-187 degrees C, respectively indicating their good thermal stability and the values decreased with increase in mol % incorporation of DMBM. The methoxyl groups present in (co)poly (ether sulfone)s were quantitatively de-blocked resulting in the formation of corresponding polymers possessing pendant catechol moieties and free phenolic hydroxyl groups. By virtue of the presence of these functional moieties, (co)poly(ether sulfone)s are amenable for post-polymerization modifications, and exhibited properties such as antimicrobial (23 mm against Staphylococcus aureus and 18 mm against Escherichia coli)), antioxidant (72 % scavenger of free radicals), adhesive (2.24 MPa lap shear strength) and usefulness as redox-active agent in zinc-ion batteries. These data underscore the promise of DMBM as a versatile monomer of wider utility for the synthesis of functional (co)poly(ether sulfone)s capable of expanding their applicability beyond the conventional ones.
