The development of bacterial resistance against antibiotics is attributed to poor localisation lethal antibiotic dose at the infection site. This study reports on synthesis and use novel two-chain fatty acid-based lipids (FAL) containing amino acid head groups in formulation pH-responsive liposomes for targeted delivery vancomycin (VAN). formulated were characterised their size, polydispersity index (PDI), surface charge morphology. drug-loading capacity, drug release, cell viability, vitro...
pH responsive drug delivery systems are one of the new strategies to address spread bacterial resistance currently used antibiotics. The aim this study was formulate liposomes with 'On' and 'Off'' switches for infection site targeting. vancomycin (VCM) loaded had sizes below 100 nm, at 7.4. QL-liposomes a negative zeta potential 7.4 that switched positive charge acidic pH. VCM release from liposome quicker 6 than OA-QL-liposome showed 4-fold lower MIC 8- 16-fold 6.0 against both MSSA MRSA...

A synthesis of 11‐(piperazin‐1yl)‐5 H‐dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepine on kilo scale without any chromatographic purification step is reported. Key steps involved are Ullmann condensation, catalytic hydrogenation, and catalyzed cyclization.
Abstract Herein we describe a sequential one‐pot multicomponent reaction for the synthesis of 2‐amino‐1,3‐selenazole. Amidinoselenourea synthesized from isoselenocyanate and N , ‐diethyl‐amidine reacted with various halomethylene compounds to furnish 2‐amino‐1,3‐selenazole derivatives in 65–89 % yields. The molecular structure trisubstituted selenazole formed was unambiguously established by X‐ray crystallography.

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder manifested largely by disintegration of thought processes and emotional responsiveness. Given the therapeutic toxic limitations clinically available drugs, it clear that there still need for development new generation antipsychotic agents with an improved clinical profile. Development novel hybrid atypical tricyclic pharmacophore was achieved using direct (by measuring docking score designed molecules on modelled 5‐HT 2A receptor) indirect (current, agents’...
