A new efficient synthetic approach to the natural coumarins 5-hydroxyseselin (5), 5-methoxyseselin (3), and (+/-) cis-grandmarin (9) is described as well as the synthesis of some new derivatives in the 5-methoxyseselin series (10-15). The natural coumarins 7-hydroxyalloxanthyletin (6), alloxanthoxyletin (8), and dipetalolactone (7) have also been obtained as secondary products. The type of fusion of the pyrano ring in all cases has been established by 2D NMR spectroscopy. The compounds have been studied for their in vitro antibacterial activity, which has been compared with that of some previously synthesized seselin derivatives. The most active compounds were 3, 7, 8, 11, and 14. Some structure-activity relationships are discussed.

Multidrug resistance (MDR) infectious wounds are a major concern due to drug resistance, leading to increased patient morbidity. Lichenysin (LCN), a lipopeptide and biosurfactant obtained from certain strains of , has demonstrated an excellent antimicrobial property. The present study focuses on the fabrication and comprehensive evaluation of LCN-incorporated poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/polycaprolactone (PCL)-based nanofiber scaffolds using an electrospinning technique as a potential wound healing biomaterial for the treatment of MDR infectious wounds in diabetic rats.

Focus of this study is on the use of the hydrazone compound (3) (N-(4-bromobenzylidene)-4-(1H-indol-3-yl) butane hydrazide), which was previously prepared from the reaction of the compound p-bromobenzaldehyde with the corresponding hydrazide (2), as an intermediate compound for the synthesis of azetidine, thiazolidine, tetrazole, oxadiazole and phthalazine heterocyclic compounds through its reaction with some cyclic reagents and catalysts such as chloro acetyl chloride, thioglycolic acid, sodium-azid, lead dioxide and Hydrogen chloride gas. The prepared compounds were characterized using physical properties and also spectroscopic methods such as infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the proton and the isotope of carbon as well as mass spectrometry, which accurately identified the proposed structures of the prepared compounds. The identity of the prepared compounds was determined using physical and spectroscopic properties, where infrared and HNMR spectroscopy of the proton as well as carbon were used in addition to using mass spectrometry to verify the validity of the prepared structures.
