Two undescribed frenolicins H and I ( and ) along with six previously described frenolicin analogues [frenolicins A (), B (), UCF76-B (), E - G ( - )] and two anthraquinones [3,8-dihydroxy-1-propylanthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid () and 3,8-dihydroxy-1-propylanthraquinone ()] were isolated from a longkong bark eating caterpillar-derived sp. TBRC17107. The chemical structures were determined by NMR spectroscopic information and HRESIMS data. Frenolicins H () and I () showed weak cytotoxicity against malignant and non-malignant cells. Frenolicins A () and B () showed antimalarial activity against (IC 17.4 and 1.37 M), antibacterial activity against and (MIC 50.0 and 0.20 g/mL). Only frenolicin B had anti-plant pathogenic fungal activity against and with MIC values of MIC 1.56 and 6.25 g/mL, respectively. Frenolicins A and G possessed anti- with equal MICs of 25.0 g/mL.

The escalating prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has led to a serious global public health problem; therefore, there is an urgent need for the development of structurally innovative antibacterial agents. In our study, different series of tetra-substituted thiophene derivatives were designed and synthesized by multi-component reactions (MCRs) in moderate to excellent yields. Some of the designed final compounds were synthesized by both microwave assisted method and traditional synthesis.

There is a growing interest in natural preservatives driven by consumer demand for clean-label products. In Canada, approximately 48 million liters of blood are produced annually during chicken slaughter, offering an opportunity to valorize cruor, the solid blood component rich in hemoglobin, for use in food preservation. This study investigated the hydrolysis of chicken cruor with pepsin at pH 2, 3, 4, and 5 for 180 min to produce antimicrobial peptides.

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are emerging opportunistic pathogens with limited treatment options due to resistance to multiple antibiotic classes. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro activity of omadacycline and comparator antibiotics against rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) clinical isolates. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) evaluation of RGM clinical isolates was performed by two independent laboratories (EU and Japan).
