In recent years, a number of synthetic potentiators of antibiotics have been discovered. Their action can significantly enhance the antibacterial effect and limit the spread of antibiotic resistance through inhibition of bacterial cystathionine-γ-lyase. To expand the known set of potentiators, we developed methods for the synthesis of five new representatives of 6-bromoindole derivatives-potential inhibitors of bacterial cystathionine-γ-lyase-namely potassium 3-amino-5-((6-bromoindolyl)methyl)thiophene-2-carboxylate () and its 6-bromoindazole analogs ( and ), along with two 6-broindazole analogs of the parent compound .

A novel fluorescent probe, Bibc-DNBS, based on the combination of the PET (photoinduced electron transfer) and ESIPT (excited-state intramolecular proton transfer) mechanisms, was designed and synthesized. Bibc-DNBS exhibited a Stokes shift of 172 nm in the fluorescence detection field. In addition, the probe exhibited good performance in key parameters in bioassays such as sensitivity, specificity, and response time.

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are promising pharmacological targets for developing antiparasitic agents against helminths, as they play a key role in detoxifying cytotoxic xenobiotics and managing oxidative stress. Inhibiting GST activity can compromise parasite viability. This study reports the successful identification of two selective inhibitors for the mu-class glutathione S-transferase of 25 kDa (Ts25GST) from , named and , using a computationally guided approach.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance remains a worldwide health problem with serious societal and economical repercussions. Multidrug resistant and Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase producing-Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) are pathogens of critical public health priority that urgently require the research and development of new drugs. This study aims to determine the prevalence and characterize the genes conferring resistance to β-lactams among Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs) in the West region, Cameroon.
