Molecular Characterization of Bacterial Isolates from Soil Samples and Evaluation of their Antibacterial Potential against MDRS

Some soil microbes, with their diverse inhabitance, biologically active metabolites, and endospore formation, gave them characteristic predominance and recognition among other microbial communities. The present study collected ten soil samples from green land, agricultural and marshy soil sites of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. After culturing on described media, the bacterial isolates were identified through phenotypic, biochemical and phylogenetic analysis. Our phylogenetic analysis revealed three bacterial isolates, A6S7, A1S6, and A1S10, showing 99% nucleotides sequence similarity with Brevibacillus formosus, Bacillus Subtilis and Paenibacillus dendritiformis. The crude extract was prepared from bacterial isolates to assess the anti-bacterial potential against various targeted multidrug-resistant strains (MDRS), including Acinetobacter baumannii (ATCC 19606), Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (BAA-1683), Klebsiella pneumoniae (ATCC 13883), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (BAA-2108), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 292013), Escherichia coli (ATCC25922) and Salmonella typhi (ATCC 14028). Our analysis revealed that all bacterial extracts possess activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria at a concentration of 5 mg/mL, efficiently restricting the growth of E. coli compared with positive control ciprofloxacin. The study concluded that the identified species have the potential to produce antimicrobial compounds which can be used to control different microbial infections, especially MDRS. Moreover, the analysis of the bacterial extracts through GC-MS indicated the presence of different antimicrobial compounds such as propanoic acid, oxalic acid, phenol and hexadecanoic acid.     

DAD-Net: Classification of Alzheimer’s Disease Using ADASYN Oversampling Technique and Optimized Neural Network

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a neurological brain disorder that causes dementia and neurological dysfunction, affecting memory, behavior, and cognition. Deep Learning (DL), a kind of Artificial Intelligence (AI), has paved the way for new AD detection and automation methods. The DL model’s prediction accuracy depends on the dataset’s size. The DL models lose their accuracy when the dataset has an imbalanced class problem. This study aims to use the deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to develop a reliable and efficient method for identifying Alzheimer’s disease using MRI. In this study, we offer a new CNN architecture for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease with a modest number of parameters, making it perfect for training a smaller dataset. This proposed model correctly separates the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease and displays class activation patterns on the brain as a heat map. The proposed Detection of Alzheimer’s Disease Network (DAD-Net) is developed from scratch to correctly classify the phases of Alzheimer’s disease while reducing parameters and computation costs. The Kaggle MRI image dataset has a severe problem with class imbalance. Therefore, we used a synthetic oversampling technique to distribute the image throughout the classes and avoid the problem. Precision, recall, F1-score, Area Under the Curve (AUC), and loss are all used to compare the proposed DAD-Net against DEMENET and CNN Model. For accuracy, AUC, F1-score, precision, and recall, the DAD-Net achieved the following values for evaluation metrics: 99.22%, 99.91%, 99.19%, 99.30%, and 99.14%, respectively. The presented DAD-Net outperforms other state-of-the-art models in all evaluation metrics, according to the simulation results.

Synthesis and crystal structure of bis(4-methylpiperidine-dithiocarbamato-S,S′)-palladium(II)

The complex bis(4-methylpiperidine-dithiocarbamato-S,S′)-palladium(II) was synthesized by the reaction of 4-methyl-1-piperidine dithiocarbamic acid with palladium(II) chloride. Its structure was determined by X-ray crystal diffraction analysis. It crystallizes in the monoclinic P2₁/c space group with the crystal cell parameters a=8.6491(8) ?, b=18.7305(16) ?, c=11.9933(10) ?, β=107.074(1)°, V=1857.3(3) ?³ and Z=4. The palladium (II) ion is bonded to four sulfur atoms, belonging to two dithiocarbamate ligands, in a distorted square planar geometry. The X-ray data suggest a pronounced electronic delocalization in the two NCS₂ moieties.     

Synthesis,characterization, and biological studies of tri‐ and diorganotin(IV) complexes with 2′,4′‐difluoro‐4‐hydroxy‐[1,1′]‐biphenyle‐3‐carbolic acid: Crystal structure of [(CH3)3Sn(C13H7O3F2)]

Eight tri‐ and diorganotin(IV) carboxylates with general formulae R₃SnL and R₂SnL₂ (where R = CH₃, n‐C₄H₉, C₆H₅, C₇H₇, and L = 2′,4′‐difluoro‐4‐hydroxy‐[1,1′]‐biphenyl‐3‐carboxylic acid) were synthesized and characterized by UV–vis, IR, conductance, multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn) NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. The crystal structure of [(CH₃)₃Sn(C₁₃H₇O₃F₂)] indicates that the tin atom in the asymmetric unit exists in a trigonal bipyramidal geometry having a space group Pbca with an orthorhombic crystal system. These complexes were also screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Derivatives of substituted 3‐trichlorogermylpropionic acid

The central Ge atoms in the structures of 3‐(2‐fluoro­phenyl)‐3‐(tri­phenyl­germyl)­propionic acid, [Ge(C₆H₅)₃(C₉H₈FO₂)], 3‐(2‐tolyl)‐3‐(tri‐4‐tolyl­germyl)­propionic acid, [Ge(C₇H₇)₃(C₁₀H₁₁O₂)], and 3‐(4‐tolyl)‐3‐(tri­benzyl­germyl)­propionic acid, [Ge(C₇H₇)₃(C₁₀H₁₁O₂)], are four‐coordinate with slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry. The Ge—Csp³ distances [1.970 (3)–1.997 (3) Å] are significantly longer than the Ge—C_aromatic distances [1.940 (3)–1.959 (2) Å]. In all three structures, the mol­ecules form dimeric pairs about inversion centres through strong hydrogen‐bonding interactions between carboxyl­ic acid groups.     

Synthesis characterization and biological study of diorganotin(IV) complexes of monomethyl phthalate

The synthesis and characterization of new coordination compounds of some organotin(IV) chlorides with monomethyl phthalate is reported; the ligand molecules appear to be bound to the tin atom through carbonyl oxygen atoms. Their structures have been characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, and bonding in these complexes is discussed in terms of their IR, (1)H, (13)C, (119)Sn NMR and (119 m)Sn M?ssbauer spectral studies. The spectroscopic results obtained are in full agreement with the proposed 2:1 stoichiometry. The complexes soluble in DMSO have been screened against a wide spectrum of bacteria and the results obtained are quite promising. The LD(50) values have also been determined in the albino rats. Some of the complexes also exhibit high anti-inflammatory activity.
