A series of novel 2-(1H-benzimidazol-2-ylsulfanyl)-N-(4-oxo-2-phenyl-thiazolidin-3yl)-acetamide 5a-j have been synthesized from various aldehydes and 2-(5-phenyl-[1,3,4]-oxadiazol-2-ylmethylsulfanyl)-1H-benzimidazole 6a-j from various benzoic acids. These compounds were screened for their in-vitro anti-bacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis as Gram positive, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli as Gram negative bacterial strains and for in-vitro anti-fungal activity against Asperigillus fumigatus and Candida albicans. The in vitro cytotoxic properties were studied using brine shrimp bioassay. Results revealed that, compounds 5b, 5d, 5g, 5i, 6b, 6e, 6f, and 6i showed excellent activity against a panel of microorganisms. The cytotoxic activities of 5b, 5g, 5i, 6b, 6f, 6h, and 6i were found to be good. All the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR and MS.

In this study, we report the green preparation of magnetically separable Ag/FeO/rGO nanocomposites using mangrove tree aerial root extract as a stabilising agent. The morphology, size, chemical composition, magnetic property and other characteristic parameters of synthesised Ag/FeO/rGO nanocomposite were determined by analytical techniques like Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results proved that mangrove tree aerial root extract has the ability to reduce Ag ions, graphene oxide (GO) to Ag nanoparticle and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), respectively.

Thyroperoxidase (TPO) is central in thyroid hormone (TH) synthesis and inhibition can lead to TH deficiency. Many chemicals can inhibit TPO activity in vitro, but how this may manifest in the developing thyroid gland at the molecular level is unclear. Here, we characterized the thyroid gland transcriptome of male rats developmentally exposed to the in vitro TPO-inhibitors amitrole, 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (MBI), or cyanamide by use of Bulk-RNA-Barcoding (BRB) and sequencing.

Tetrahedral copper(I) clusters [Cu(MBIZ)(PPh)] (), [Cu(MBOZ)(PPh)] () (MBIZ = 2-mercaptobenzimidazole, MBOZ = 2-mercaptobenzoxazole) were prepared by regulation of the copper-thiolate clusters [Cu(MBIZ)] () and [Cu(MBOZ)I] () with PPh. With the presence of iodide anion, the regulation provided the iodide-containing clusters [Cu(MBIZ)(PPh)I] () and [Cu(MBOZ)(PPh)I] (). The cyclic voltammogram of in MeCN (0.

Silver and gold nanoclusters are promising nanomaterials for various applications such as sensing, catalysis, and bioimaging. However, their synthetic control and repeatability, and determination of their structures are highly complicated. Only a handful of crystal structures of silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) have been reported, while structures of a few others have been reported with the help of mass spectrometry.

Charge Effect of Mercaptobenzimidazole-Modified Ultrasmall Gold-Nanoparticles against Drug-Resistant Bacteria.

The threat of bacterial infections, especially drug-resistant strains, to human health necessitates the development of high-efficient, broad-spectrum and nonantibiotic nanodisinfectant. However, the effect of interfacial charge on the antibacterial properties of nanodisinfectant remains a mystery, which greatly limits the development of highly antibacterial active nanodisinfectant. Herein, we developed three types of ultrasmall ( < 3 nm) gold-nanoparticles (AuNPs) modified with 5-carboxylic(C)/methoxy(M)amino(A)/-2-mercaptobenzimidazole (C/M/A MB) to investigate their interfacial charge on antibacterial performance.
