L. and H. are native mountain plants of Chile and Argentina, characterised by their benzylisoquinolic alkaloid content. This research aims to analyse benzylisoquinoline alkaloids and their antibacterial activity in root extracts of L. and H. A methanol extract was separated by column chromatography through a polarity gradient and alkaloids were characterised by HPLC ESI-MS/MS. Antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative was assessed. The results showed the presence of protoberberine and aporphine alkaloids in the total extract and chloroform-methanol (CM) fraction. The antibacterial activity reports and inhibitions. The berberine content can contribute to strain inhibition due to the synergic effect with other metabolites. A varietal effect could explain the difference in results between the species evaluated. This research generates new visions in the study of endemic species in the search for bioactive compounds of pharmacological interest.

Multidrug resistance (MDR) infectious wounds are a major concern due to drug resistance, leading to increased patient morbidity. Lichenysin (LCN), a lipopeptide and biosurfactant obtained from certain strains of , has demonstrated an excellent antimicrobial property. The present study focuses on the fabrication and comprehensive evaluation of LCN-incorporated poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/polycaprolactone (PCL)-based nanofiber scaffolds using an electrospinning technique as a potential wound healing biomaterial for the treatment of MDR infectious wounds in diabetic rats.

Focus of this study is on the use of the hydrazone compound (3) (N-(4-bromobenzylidene)-4-(1H-indol-3-yl) butane hydrazide), which was previously prepared from the reaction of the compound p-bromobenzaldehyde with the corresponding hydrazide (2), as an intermediate compound for the synthesis of azetidine, thiazolidine, tetrazole, oxadiazole and phthalazine heterocyclic compounds through its reaction with some cyclic reagents and catalysts such as chloro acetyl chloride, thioglycolic acid, sodium-azid, lead dioxide and Hydrogen chloride gas. The prepared compounds were characterized using physical properties and also spectroscopic methods such as infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the proton and the isotope of carbon as well as mass spectrometry, which accurately identified the proposed structures of the prepared compounds. The identity of the prepared compounds was determined using physical and spectroscopic properties, where infrared and HNMR spectroscopy of the proton as well as carbon were used in addition to using mass spectrometry to verify the validity of the prepared structures.
