Antimicrobial activity of 25 new original 2-aryliden-6-furfuryliden cyclohexanones and hexahydroindazoles based on them was studied. The majority of the compounds had low or moderate activity against the test cultures of Staphylococcus spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus spp. and Escherichia coil. Compound XIX (2,3-diphenyl-7-(5-nitrofurfuryliden)-3,3a,4,5,6,7-hexahydroindazole) with high antistaphylococcal activity was selected among several 2-aryliden-6-furfuryliden cyclohexanones and hexahydroindazoles. The activity of compound XIX was tested with the use of 105 clinical isolates of staphylococci. Comparative antistaphylococcal activity of compound XIX, furazolidone and sodium cefotaxime against the isolates was estimated. The impact of the microbial load, pH of the nutrient medium and the presence of 1%, 5% or 10% of serum or blood in the medium on the antimicrobial activity of compound XIX was evaluated. The results are in favour of further research on compound XIX as a potential agent of etiotropic therapy for staphylococcal infection.

Governments and biopharmaceutical organizations aggressively leveraged expeditious communication capabilities, decision models, and global strategies to make a COVID-19 vaccine happen within a period of 12 months. This was an unusual effort and cannot be transferred to normal times. However, this focus on a single vaccine has also led to other treatments and drug developments being sidelined.

Aqueous and ethanolic extracts of tomato pomace were examined with the aim of optimizing the extraction process of compounds with cardioprotective activity. Once the results of the ORAC response variables, total polyphenols, °Brix, and antiplatelet activity of the extracts were obtained, a multivariate statistical analysis was performed using the Statgraphics Centurion XIX software. This analysis showed that the most relevant positive effects in the inhibition of platelet aggregation were 83 ± 2% when using the agonist TRAP-6, when the working conditions were the type of tomato pomace conditioning (drum-drying process at 115 °C), phase ratio (1/8), type of solvent (ethanol 20%), and type of extraction (ultrasound-assisted solid-liquid extraction).
