(AB) is a clinically important bacterial pathogen responsible for nosocomial infections. The biofilm-forming capability of these pathogens reduces the antibiotic penetration and its efficacy, thereby complicating the treatment. The current work aims to isolate the most potent biofilm-forming species from clinical isolates of the patient samples and to evaluate the efficacy of the amikacin-humic acid combination against it.

This paper outlines a methodical approach for isolating 6-gingerol (1a) from rhizomes on a gram-scale, resulting in a product of high purity and significant yield. Further, 6-gingerol (1a) [SSG1] derivatives, including 1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)decane-3,5-dione (1ab), were synthesized via a semi-synthetic pathway involving DMP-mediated fast oxidation and replication. Subsequently, a new series of 1,4-benzodiazepines (3a-c) was synthesized quantitatively using a basic technique.

In this study, we evaluated the potential of curated structurally modified chalcone derivatives as anti-tuberculosis (TB) agents through computer-aided drug design. Compounds from the flavonoid family known as chalcones were identified by the chemical group 1,3-diaryl-2-propen-1-one. After a search of the literature, 14 outstanding structurally modified chalcones were selected and evaluated for inhibitory activity against H37Rv targets.

In this study quercetin-iron complex (QFC) was synthesized, and the structural characterizations such as x-ray diffraction, field emission-scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive x-ray and Brunner-Emmitt-Teller adsorption-desorption isotherm analysis revealed the crystallinity state, surface morphology and nature of the adsorbing surface with surface area value. Functional characterizations such as UV-visible spectrometric and Fourier transform infrared analysis collectively indicated the chemical changes that appeared after complex formation in terms of characteristic change in the spectrum and band position, respectively. The antibacterial activity against and has shown a dose-dependent decrease in colony count and achieved significant removal at 15 mg/ml concentration of QFC.
