Microbial resistance to antibiotics is an urgent and worldwide concern. Several pyrazole-derived hydrazones were synthesized by using benign reaction conditions. of these molecules are potent growth inhibitors drug-resistant strains Staphylococcus aureus Acinetobacter baumannii with minimum inhibitory concentration values as low 0.39 μg/mL. Furthermore, nontoxic human cells at high concentrations. Some tested for their ability disrupt the bacterial membrane SYTO-9/propidium iodide (BacLight) assay.

Microbial resistance to drugs is an unresolved global concern, which present in every country. Developing new antibiotics one of the guidelines Centers for Disease Control and Preventions (CDC) combat bacterial drugs. Based on our lead molecules, we report synthesis antimicrobial studies 27 pyrazole derivatives. These coumarin-pyrazole-hydrazone hybrids are readily synthesized from commercially available starting materials reagents using benign reaction conditions. All molecules were tested...

Nootkatone, an approved insecticide, is a well-known natural product from grapefruit. A series of fused-thiazole derivatives nootkatone have been synthesized, and these new compounds were tested against several strains bacteria. Some are found to be potent antimicrobial agents Staphylococcus aureus Enterococcus faecium with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values as low 1.56 μg/mL. The lead compound bactericidal very S. persisters. These nontoxic human cancer cell lines at 10 μm concentration.

White-nose syndrome (WNS) is a fungal disease caused by Pseudogymnoascus destructans and devastating North American bat populations. Sebaceous lipids secreted from host integumentary tissues are implicated in the initial attachment recognition of pathogenic fungi. We interested determining if ratios lipid classes sebum can be used as biomarkers to diagnose severity infection bats. To first establish compositions bats, we isolated integral fractions hair wing three species: big brown bats...

Lipids secreted from sebaceous glands in bat integument may play a role determining host pathogenicity by the fungus Geomyces destructans white-nose syndrome (WNS). To investigate this, we have determined triacylglycerol (TAG) profiles for three species: eastern red bats ( Lasiurus borealis (Müller, 1776)), evening Nycticeius humeralis (Rafinesque, 1818)), and big brown Eptesicus fuscus (Beauvois, 1796)). Neutral lipids extracted hair wing tissue were fractionated preparative thin-layer...

Sebocytes are specialized epithelial cells that rupture to secrete sebaceous lipids (sebum) across the mammalian integument. Sebum protects integument from UV radiation, and maintains host microbial communities among other functions. Native glandular sebum is composed primarily of triacylglycerides (TAG) wax esters (WE). Upon secretion (mature sebum), these combine with minor cellular membrane components comprising total surface lipids. TAG WE further cleaved smaller molecules through...
