A series of novel coumarinazoles were designed, synthesized, and characterized by IR, NMR, MS and HRMS spectra. The bioactive assay for the newly prepared compounds against six bacteria and five fungi manifested that most new compounds exhibited good or even stronger antibacterial and antifungal activities in comparison with reference drugs Chloromycin, Norfloxacin and Fluconazole. Bis-azole alcohols 7a and 7d-e showed better anti-Candida utilis activity than mono-azole derivatives 4a and 4d-e at the tested concentrations, and they were more potent than the clinical Fluconazole. While triazole alcohol 7a gave comparable anti-Candida albicans and anti-Candida mycoderma activity to Fluconazole and better anti-MRSA activity than mono-triazole one 4a and clinical Norfloxacin. 1H-Benzoimidazol-2-ylthio coumarin derivatives 4e and 7e gave the strongest anti-Escherichia coli JM109 efficacy. Oxiran-2-ylmethoxy moiety was found to be a beneficial fragment to improve antibacterial and antifungal activity to some extent.

This review article explores the potential applications of chitosan, a natural polysaccharide derived from crustacean shells, in the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis (SD) and other skin diseases. SD is a common chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by erythema, scaling, itching, and an oily appearance, predominantly affecting areas rich in sebaceous glands. Current treatments, including antifungal agents, corticosteroids, and calcineurin inhibitors, offer symptomatic relief but have limitations in long-term use due to side effects and resistance issues.

As antibiotic-resistant bacteria emerge, antimicrobial peptides have become a promising alternative due to their safety, low residue, and low resistance properties. This study evaluated the in vitro antibacterial activity of peptides obtained from the fermentation of a halotolerant Lactiplantibacillus plantarum CH. Moreover, an in silico antimicrobial activity of L.

Edenia gomezpompae, an endophytic fungus derived from plants, produced a diverse array of preussomerins, a type of spirobisnaphthalenes featuring two spiroketal groups, which exhibited significant antibacterial, antifungal, and cytotoxic activities. Structurally, the biosynthesis of preussomerins might be related to the biosynthesis of 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN), a precursor of DHN-melanin. However, the absence of efficient gene-editing tools for E.

The discovery of novel anti-leishmanial compounds is essential due to the limitations of current treatments and the lack of new drugs in development. In this study, we employed the Quasi Vivo 900 medium perfusion system (QV900, Kirkstall Ltd, UK) to simulate physiological fluid flow, allowing us to compare macrophage responses and therapeutic outcomes under dynamic versus static conditions. After 24 hours, phagocytosis and macropinocytosis decreased in all cell types under flow conditions compared to static cultures.

Plant-based essential oils are currently targeted sources because of their non-toxic, bioactivity, and safety of non-targeted organisms. Various volatile components such as terpenoids, phenolics, and alkaloids make it compatible with broad-spectrum applications. In the current study, essential oil from Citrus hystrix DC.
