New Anti-Adhesion Agents In The Development of Antivirulence Drugs

2015

Gram-positive bacteria are a significant cause of nosocomial and community-acquired infections associated with diseases of high morbidity and mortality. Moreover, antibiotic resistance of important Gram-positive pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Enterococcus faecalis is one of the major worldwide health problems. Over the last decade, many studies have focused on agents that target the virulence of important pathogens without killing or inhibiting their growth therefore imposing limited selective pressure to promote the development and spread of resistance mechanisms [1]enterococci and streptococci, sortase A plays a critical role in Gram-positive bacter…

Biological evaluation of new 1,2,4-oxadiazole topsentin analogs as anticancer agents

SYNTHESIS AND SAR STUDIES OF NEW 3-METHYL-5-(5-PROPYL-1H-1-R'-3-PYRAZOLYL)-1H-1-R-4-NITROSOPYRAZOLES AS ANTIMICOTIC AGENTS.

A synthetic derivative of antimicrobial peptide holothuroidin 2 from mediterranean sea cucumber (Holothuria tubulosa) in the control of Listeria mono…

2019

Due to the limited number of available antibiotics, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are considered antimicrobial candidates to fight difficult-to-treat infections such as those associated with biofilms. Marine environments are precious sources of AMPs, as shown by the recent discovery of antibiofilm properties of Holothuroidin 2 (H2), an AMP produced by the Mediterranean sea cucumber Holothuria tubulosa. In this study, we considered the properties of a new H2 derivative, named H2d, and we tested it against seven strains of the dangerous foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes. This peptide was more active than H2 in inhibiting the growth of planktonic L. monocytogenes and was able to interf…

Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of New 1,5-Dimethyl-3-Heteroaryl.1H-4-ONN-Azoxycyanides

2008

Chemical composition, antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of the essential oils from Pimpinellatragium Vill. subsp. glauca (C. Presl.) C. BrulloBr…

2013

The essential oils from flowers, leaves and stems hydrodistilled from Pimpinella tragium Vill, subsp. glauca were characterised by GC and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. The C-12 nor-sesquiterpenes are the principal class of metabolites (56.6-70.6%) among which geijerene (28.9÷49.3%) and pregeijerene (10÷19.1%) predominate. Antimicrobial and antioxidant activities were evaluated. The minimum inhibitory concentration values indicate that oil obtained from the stems is the most active for antimicrobial activities and the sample with the biggest antioxidant capacity is the flower oil.

Synthesis and antiproliferative activity of Naphtalenyl substituted 1,2-dihydropyrazol-5-one and related fused tetrazine

2011

In recent years, besides the main field of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, the interest towards pyrazolone derivatives has been renewed because of their wide biological and pharmacological applications [1]. Currently, particular attention is focused on such a class of compounds due to the affinity with sigma receptor and their relationship with cancer [2].To these purposes we planned to design, synthesize and evaluate the antiproliferative activity (MTS assays) of a new series of 3-methyl-2-(1-R-naphthalen-2-yl)-1,2-dihydropyrazol-3-one derivatives 1 against HeLa, MCF-7, LAN-5, Caco2 in order to explore their anticancer potential. Additionally, further elaboration of the amino deriva…

1,2-Dihydropyrazole[1,2-a]benzo[1,2,4]triazine-3-one: deaza analogue tricyclic scaffold with valuable antiproliferative activity

2012

Synthesis and antiproliferative activity of the ring system [1,2]oxazolo[4,5-g]indole.

2012

Brand new ring: A series of 27 derivatives of the new ring system [1,2]oxazolo[4,5-g]indole were conveniently prepared and tested at the NCI for antiproliferative studies. Several of them showed good inhibitory activity toward all tested cell lines, reaching GI50 values generally at the micromolar and sub-micromolar levels and in some cases at nanomolar concentrations. The mean GI50 values, calculated on the full panel, were in the range 0.25-7.08 μM.

Synthesis and antiproliferative activity of [1,2,4] triazino[4,3-a]indoles

2005

A series of [1, 2, 4triazino[4,3-a]indoles was prepared in good yield by reacting 2-diazo-3-ethoxycarbonylindole with methylene active compounds. Derivatives of the title ring system were tested against a panel of 60 human tumor cell lines, and showed inhibitory activity against a wide range of cancer cell lines at micromolar concentration.
