Several newer 6-fluoro/nitro-4-oxo-7-(sub)-4H-[1,3]thiazeto[3,2-a]quinoline-3-carboxylic acids (10-11a-q) were synthesised from 3,4-difluoro aniline and 3-fluoro-4-nitro aniline by nine-step synthesis. The compounds were evaluated for in vitro and in vivo antimycobacterial activities against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (MTB), multidrug-resistant M. tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and Mycobacterium smegmatis (MC2) as well as being tested for their ability to inhibit the supercoiling activity of DNA gyrase from M. smegmatis. Among the synthesised compounds, 7-(1,4-dioxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]dec-8-yl)-6-nitro-4-oxo-4H-[1,3]thiazeto[3,2-a]quinoline-3-carboxylic acid (11l) was found to be the most active compound in vitro, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 0.09 microM and <0.09 microM against MTB and MTR-TB, respectively. Compound 11l was found to be 4 times and >506 times more potent than isoniazid against MTB and MDR-TB, respectively. In the in vivo animal model, 11l decreased the bacterial load in lung and spleen tissues by 30% and 42%, respectively, at a dose of 50 mg/kg body weight.

Photodynamic antimicrobial therapy (aPDT) can effectively kill bacteria without promoting drug resistance. However, the phototoxicity of photosensitizers in aPDT against normal cells hinders their practical applications. In this work, we report the utilization of an aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active photosensitizer, DTTPB, to develop antibacterial dressing for effective eradication of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Article Synopsis
- Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT) utilizes photosensitized cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) to effectively target and combat resistant bacteria like E. coli.
- The research focuses on incorporating anionic (Rose Bengal) and cationic (Toluidine blue O) photosensitizers into CNCs, enhancing their stability and photoactivity while reducing cytotoxicity during dark conditions.
- These CNC-based nanomaterials not only demonstrate strong efficacy in photodynamic treatments but also serve as platforms for bioimaging, making them promising candidates for innovative strategies against antimicrobial resistance and topical infections.

Phototoxic reactions are among the most common skin-related adverse effects induced by drugs. It is believed that the binding of chemicals to melanin biopolymers is a significant factor influencing skin toxicity. The formation of drug-melanin complexes can lead to the accumulation of drugs or their photodegradation products in pigmented cells, potentially affecting phototoxic reactions.

In this study, a porous polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticle-decorated β-glucan microcapsules (GMs) nanoplatform (PDA/GMs) were developed with macrophage-targeted biomimetic features and a carriers-within-carriers structure. Indocyanine green (ICG) and catalase (CAT) were subsequently co-encapsulated within the PDA/GMs to create a multifunctional nanotherapeutic agent, termed CIPGs. Furthermore, CIPGs and sinomenine (SIN) were co-loaded within a thermo-sensitive hydrogel to design an injectable delivery system, termed CIPG/SH, with potential for multi-modal therapy of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
