Diverse 2-pyridinyl quinolines 6-12 and 2-pyridinilvinyl quinolines 13-17 were prepared using a straightforward synthesis based on the BiCl(3)-catalyzed multicomponent imino Diels-Alder (imino DA) reaction or a novel tandem imino DA/catalytic tetrahydroquinoline ring oxidation/Perkin condensation sequential process. All members of the series showed activities against dermatophytes and some of them possessed a broad spectrum of action. 2-(Pyridin-4-yl)quinoline 9 and 2-(2-pyridin-4-yl)vinyl)quinoline 16 showed the best MIC(80) and MIC(50) against the clinically important fungi Candida albicans and non-albicans Candida species. In turn, 6-ethyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)quinoline 6 showed the best properties against standardized as well as clinical strains of Cryptococcus neoformans.

Acyl thiourea scaffolds are frequently employed in drug development to discern unique and essential therapies for the eradication of the most challenging diseases. Hence, we developed a library of novel cyclopropyl incorporating acyl thiourea derivatives (4a-j) and evaluated their antimicrobial, α-amylase, and proteinase K inhibition potential. Compound (4h) (4-methoxy) demonstrated the strongest α-amylase inhibition (IC = 1.

Bacterial-fungal interaction (BFI) has significant implications for the health of host plants. While the diffusible antibiotic metabolite-mediated competition in BFI has been extensively characterized, the impact of intercellular contact remains largely elusive. Here, we demonstrate that the intercellular contact is a prevalent mode of interaction between beneficial soil bacteria and pathogenic filamentous fungi.

Particulate matter (PM) exposure has been proposed as one of the causes of steroid resistance. However, studies investigating this using patient samples or animals are still lacking. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the changes in cytokines and mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) activation in patients with steroid resistant asthma and the role of mTOR in a mouse model of steroid resistant asthma induced by PM.

Objective: The rise of drug-resistant bacteria, viruses, and fungi has prompted the search for new drugs without cross-resistance to current treatments. As a result, the aim of this research was to synthesize various types of dihydropyrimidinones heterocyclic compounds and screened them for their antibiotic properties.
Methodology: Newly synthesized dihydropyrimidinone derivatives were characterized spectroscopically using proton NMR (HNMR), and FT-IR.
