Microcalorimetric investigation of the antibacterial activity of curcumin on Staphylococcus aureus coupled with multivariate analysis

The antibacterial effect of Curcumin on Staphylococcus aureus growth was evaluated by microcalorimetry. The heat flow power?Ctime curves and nine quantitative parameters of the S. aureus growth were applied to investigate the inhibitory effect with Curcumin. By analyzing these curves and some quantitative parameters using multivariate analytical methods, similarity analysis and principal component analysis, the antibacterial activity of Curcumin on S. aureus could be accurately evaluated from the change of the two main parameters, the second exponential growth rate constant k ₂ and the maximum heat flow power P _m ² . The main two thermal parameters played more important role in the evaluation: at low concentration (0?C10.5???g?mL^?1), Curcumin hardly influence the growth of S. aureus, while at high concentration (10.5?C43.4???g?mL^?1) it could notably inhibit the growth. All these illustrated that the antibacterial activity of Curcumin on S. aureus was enhanced with the increase of the concentration of this compound. This study might provide an useful method and idea accurately evaluate the antibacterial effects of Curcumin, which provides some useful methods for evaluate the nature antibacterial agents.     

Antibacterial Activity of a Kind of Novel Schiff Base and Its 3d,4f Complexes

The microcalorimetric method was used to study the antibacterial activity on the bacteria's multiplying metabolism and the non-multiplying metabolism. The metabolism thermogenic curves of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), under the action of the synthesized Schiff base and its 3d,4f complexes (2L, 2LZnYb), were obtained. The results showed that the multiplying metabolism and the non-multiplying metabolism of bacteria could be analyzed by the thermogenic curves using the thermokinetic equations. On the multiplying metabolism, the two compounds (2L, 2LZnYb) have strong activity for E. coli. (IC₅₀ (half-inhibitory concentration) is 6.1 and 5.1 mg·L⁻¹, respectively) and weak activity for S. aureus (IC₅₀ is 310.1 and 595.9 mg·L⁻¹, respectively). The introduction of Zn and Yb with the compound slightly increased the inhibition on the multiplying metabolism of E. coli but greatly decreased the effect on that of S. aureus. The activity of these two compounds showed great difference on the non-multiplying metabolism. Regardless of E. coli or S. aureus, 2L showed a notable inhibition and MSC₅₀ (the minimum stationary-cidal concentration 50) of 2L was 6.4 and 209.7 mg·L⁻¹ for the two microorganisms, respectively. Thus, 2L may become a novel kind of potential antibacterial candidate.

Europium and terbium Schiff base peptide complexes as potential antimicrobial agents against <Emphasis Type="Italic">Salmonella typhimurium</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pseudomonas aeruginosa</Emphasis>

Eu(III) and Tb(III) Schiff base complexes are applicable in various fields such as sensing, assays, screening protocols in vitro, and imaging studies in vitro or in vivo. Fluorescent europium and terbium complexes and their interaction with cell penetrating peptide (KKKRKC) can represent an excellent key for understanding pathway of peptide transportation though cell membrane and the application of Schiff base complexes as potential antibacterial drugs. The Schiff base–metal complexes and its conjugates with peptide were tested for their antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella typhimurium. Schiff base–metal complexes conjugated with peptide show minor toxicity in normal human PNT1A cells and high antibacterial activity against P. aeruginosa and S. typhimurium, where IC50 down to 125.9 and/or 36.1 µM were found for P. aeruginosa and S. typhimurium, respectively. Our results strongly suggest that Schiff base–metal complexes conjugated with peptide have great potential to be developed into highly effective antibacterial drug.

Synthesis, structural characterization and antibacterial activity of 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(benzenesulfonohydrazide) Schiff bases and their copper(II) complexes

2,6-Diacetylpyridine bis(benzenesulfonohydrazide) Schiff bases (L¹, L² and L³) and their Cu(II) complexes of the general formula [CuL·H₂O] were synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. The crystal structure of [CuL³·(py)]·py was investigated by single crystal X-ray structure analysis. The Cu(II) cation has near square pyramidal, penta-coordinate geometry. The binegatively charged tetradentate Schiff base is asymmetrically coordinated to the Cu(II) ion via the pyridine N atom, the azomethine N atom, the sulfonyl O atom and the deprotonated hydrazine N atom. There is a pyridine molecule apically coordinated to the Cu(II) ion. All the Schiff bases and their copper(II) complexes were screened by the disc diffusion method against multi-drug resistant (MDR) gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values were also determined. These results show that the antibacterial activity of the Schiff bases against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is enhanced when they are chelated with the copper(II) ion.

Synthesis,characterization and biological studies of oxovanadium(IV) complexes with triazole‐derived Schiff bases

A series of triazole‐derived Schiff bases (L¹–L⁵) and their oxovanadium(IV) complexes have been synthesized. The chemical structures of Schiff bases were characterized by their analytical (CHN analysis) and spectral (IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR and mass spectrometry) data, and oxovanadium(IV) complexes were elucidated by their physical (magnetic susceptibility and conductivity), analytical (CHN analysis), conductance measurements and electronic spectral data. The molar conductivity data indicate the oxovanadium(IV) complexes to be non‐electrolyte. The Schiff bases act as bidentate and coordinate with the oxovanadium(IV)‐forming stoichiometry of a complex as [M (L‐H)₂] where M = VO and L = L¹–L⁵ in a square‐pyramidal geometry. The agar well diffusion method was used for in vitro antibacterial screening against E. coli, S. flexenari, P. aeruginosa, S. typhi, S. aureus and B. subtilis and for antifungal activity against T. longifucus, C. albican, A. flavus, M. canis, F. solani and C. glaberata. The biological activity data show the oxovanadium(IV) complexes to be more antibacterial and antifungal than the parent Schiff bases against one or more bacterial and fungal strains.

Synthesis,spectroscopic, DNA cleavage and antibacterial activity of binuclear schiff base complexes

The binuclear Schiff base complexes are formed newly using different transition metals at their stable oxidation state as Cu(II), Ni(II), and VO(II). 3,3′,4,4′-tetraminobiphenyl and 2-aminobenzaldehyde were condensed to form a new Schiff base ligand having an two N₄ group responsible for better chelating to the metal centers. The ligand and their complexes have been established by analytical, spectral and electrochemical data. The interaction studies of the complexes with CT-DNA were carried out using cyclic voltammetry, viscosity measurements and fluorescence spectroscopy. The free ligand and their metal complexes were screened for their antimicrobial activities against the following species: Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. A comparative study of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of the Schiff base and its complexes indicate that the metal complexes exhibit higher antibacterial activity than the free ligand.

Antibacterial Activity of Chinese Red Propolis against Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA

The antibacterial activity of propolis has long been of great interest, and the chemical composition of propolis is directly dependent on its source. We recently obtained a type of propolis from China with a red color. Firstly, the antibacterial properties of this unusual propolis were determined against Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Studies on its composition identified and quantified 14 main polyphenols of Chinese red propolis extracts (RPE); quantification was carried out using liquid chromatography triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (LC-QQQ-MS/MS) and RPE was found to be rich in pinobanksin, pinobanksin-3-acetate, and chrysin. In vitro investigations of its antibacterial activity revealed that its activity against S. aureus and MRSA is due to disruption of the cell wall and cell membrane, which then inhibits bacterial growth. Despite its similar antibacterial activities against S. aureus and MRSA, metabolomic analysis further revealed the effects of RPE on bacteria metabolism were different. The untargeted metabolomic results showed that a total of 7 metabolites in 12 metabolic pathways had significant changes (Fold change > 2, p < 0.05 *) after RPE treatment in S. aureus, while 11 metabolites in 9 metabolic pathways had significant changes (Fold change > 2, p < 0.05 *) after RPE treated on MRSA. Furthermore, RPE downregulated several specific genes related to bacterial biofilm formation, autolysis, cell wall synthesis, and bacterial virulence in MRSA. In conclusion, the data obtained indicate that RPE may be a promising therapeutic agent against S. aureus and MRSA.     

A new nano‐sized mononuclear Cu (II) complex with N,N‐donor Schiff base ligands: sonochemical synthesis,characterization, molecular modeling and biological activity

A new, simple Cu²⁺ nano‐structure Schiff base complex in methanol medium has been synthesized by the ultrasonic method. Structure of the compound was confirmed by FT‐IR, GC‐Mass and other spectroscopic techniques. The copper oxide (CuO) was achieved from the copper nano‐structure Schiff base complex as the raw material after calcination for 3 hr at 600 °C.

The calculations results from XRD patterns propose the nano‐sized complexes. The SEM images show morphology of both the copper complex and the CuO powder were plate‐like. The metal chelates of Cu²⁺ in two states of bulk and nano have been screened for their in vitro antibacterial activity against four bacteria, gram‐positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram‐negative (Escherichia coli) and three strains of fungus (Aspergillus flavus). The nano metal chelates were shown to possess more antibacterial activity than the bulk chelate. Finally, the empirical parameters of Schiff base compounds showed a good agreement with theoretical ones.

Synthesis and evaluation of novel O-functionalized aminated chitosan derivatives as antibacterial,antioxidant and anticorrosion for 316L stainless steel in simulated body fluid

Chitosan’s Schiff base derivatives are taking the attention of scientists as a promising biomaterial for various applications. In this study, O-functionalized aminated chitosan (O-F-Am-Ch) was coupled with 4,4-dimethyl amino-benzaldehyde and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone to produce Schiff bases (I) and (II), respectively. The chemical and physical properties of the new derivatives were investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) that show a significant band for C=C between 1400 and 1600 cm⁻¹, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), which demonstrate an increase in the thermal stability of new derivatives than O-F-Am-Ch and scanning electron microscope (SEM) that indicates a slight increase in the rough structure of the surface. In addition, 2,2′-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays that examined the antioxidant properties of the new Schiff bases. The biocidal activity against four different bacterial strains [two gram-negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli) and two gram-positive (Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus)] demonstrates significant improvement of the inhibition activity compare to O-F-Am-Ch with more activity against Gram-negative bacteria than that against gram-positive bacteria.As an implanted alloy, 316L stainless steel is used as a temporary biomaterial in different countries without any pretreatment. Our study focused on further improving the alloy features by investigating the protection efficiency of O-F-Am-Ch and the synthesized Schiff bases for the 316L stainless steel surface against corrosion in simulated body fluid (SBF). The corrosion inhibition of these compounds was investigated using two electrochemical methods (potentiodynamic polarization technique and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy). The results suggested the formation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of the compounds under investigation. Furthermore, they demonstrated a considerable dose-dependent inhibiting corrosion of 316L stainless steel in SBF, whereas the inhibition efficiency exceeds 77% at 1000 ppm for the Schiff bases II. In conclusion, the tested derivatives show promising properties to refine stainless steel for implant applications.     

Design,Synthesis, Antibacterial,and Antitumor Activity of Linear Polyisocyanide Quaternary Ammonium Salts with Different Structures and Chain Lengths

The development of organic polymer materials for disinfection and sterilization is thought of as one of the most promising avenues to solve the growth and spread of harmful microorganisms. Here, a series of linear polyisocyanide quaternary ammonium salts (L-PQASs) with different structures and chain lengths were designed and synthesized by polymerization of phenyl isocyanide monomer containing a 4-chloro-1-butyl side chain followed by quaternary amination salinization. The resultant compounds were characterized by ¹H NMR and FT-IR. The antibacterial activity of L-PQASs with different structures and chain lengths against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) was evaluated by determining the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs). The L-POcQAS-M₅₀ has the strongest antimicrobial activity with MICs of 27 μg/mL against E. coli and 32 μg/mL against S. aureus. When the L-PQASs had the same polymerization degree, the order of the antibacterial activity of the L-PQASs was L-POcQAS-M_n > L-PBuQAS-M_n > L-PBnQAS-M_n > L-PDBQAS-M_n (linear, polyisocyanide quaternary ammonium salt, monomer, n = 50,100). However, when L-PQASs had the same side chain, the antibacterial activity reduced with the increase of the molecular weight of the main chain. These results demonstrated that the antibacterial activity of L-PQASs was dependent on the structure of the main chain and the length of the side chain. In addition, we also found that the L-POcQAS-M₅₀ had a significant killing effect on MK-28 gastric cancer cells.
