Studies with Polyfunctionally Substituted Heterocycles: Syntheses of Polyfunctionally Substituted Isoquinolines

The three-component reaction of acetaldehyde, cyanothioacetamide, and malononitrile results in 6-amino-3,5-dicyano-4-methylpyridine-2(1H)-thione. The latter reacts with different chemical reagents to afford new substituted isoquinolines and their fused derivatives, which show high fungicidal and bactericidal activities.     

Novel Synthesis of 1,8-Alkanopyrido[3,4-d]pyridazine: a New Ring System

Cycloalkylidenemalononitriles couple with various diazonium salts to yield the corresponding cycloalkeno[c]pyridazines, which react with trichloroacetonitrile to give the 1,8-alkanopyrido[3,4-d]pyridazines. The reaction of cycloalkenopyridazines with DMF dimethylacetal gives enamine derivatives, which can be converted to 1,8-alkanopyrido[3,4-d]pyridazines via treating with hydrazine hydrate or aromatic amines. Substituted cycloalkenopyridines react with diazoaminobenzene to afford the corresponding 1,8-alkanopyridopyridazines.     

In Vitro Investigation of the Impact of Bacterial–Fungal Interaction on Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae

Fungal–bacterial co-culturing is a potential technique for the production of secondary metabolites with antibacterial activity. Twenty-nine fungal species were screened in a co-culture with carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae at different temperatures. A temperature of 37 ° showed inhibition of bacterial growth. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing for K. pneumoniae was conducted to compare antibiotic resistance patterns before and after the co-culture. Genotypic comparison of the K. pneumonia was performed using next generation sequencing (NGS). It was shown that two out of five K. pneumoniae, with sequence type ST 101 isolates, lost bla-_OXA48, bla-_CTX-M-14, tir, strA and strB genes after the co-culture with Scopulariopsis brevicaulis fungus. The other three isolates (ST 383 and 147) were inhibited in the co-culture but did not show any changes in resistance. The total ethyl acetate extract of the fungal–bacterial co-culture was tested against K. pneumoniae using a disc diffusion method. The concentration of the crude extract was 0.97 mg/µL which resulted in total inhibition of the bacteria. Using chromatographic techniques, the purified compounds were identified as 11-octadecenoic acid, 2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol, 2,3-Butanediol and 9-octadecenamide. These were tested against K. pneumoniae using the well diffusion method at a concentration of 85 µg/µL which resulted in total inhibition of bacteria. The co-culture results indicated that bacteria under chemical stress showed variable responses and induced fungal secondary metabolites with antibacterial activities.     

Experimental investigation of frictional noise and surface-roughness characteristics

An experimental investigation into the nature of the noise generated when a stylus travels over a frictional surface has been carried out using several engineering materials. The relation between the sound pressure level (SPL) and surface roughness under various contact loads was established. An acoustic device was designed and constructed to be used as a reliable tool for measuring roughness. For each tested material, it has been found that the filtered noise signal within a certain spectrum bandwidth contains a specified frequency at which the amplitude is maximum. This frequency was named the dominating frequency and was found to be a material constant independent of surface roughness and contact load. It was also found that the dominating frequency for a given material is proportional to the sonic speed in that material.

Quadratic spline solution for boundary value problem of fractional order

Fractional differential equations are widely applied in physics, chemistry as well as engineering fields. Therefore, approximating the solution of differential equations of fractional order is necessary. We consider the quadratic polynomial spline function based method to find approximate solution for a class of boundary value problems of fractional order. We derive a consistency relation which can be used for computing approximation to the solution for this class of boundary value problems. Convergence analysis of the method is discussed. Four numerical examples are included to illustrate the practical usefulness of the proposed method.     

Regioselective synthesis of diazaspiro[4.4]nona‐ and tetrazaspiro[4.5]deca‐2,9‐diene‐6‐one derivatives

Several 1,2‐diazaspiro[4,4]nona‐2,8‐diene‐6‐one derivatives were synthesised via cycloaddition of nitrilimides to 3‐aryliden‐2(3H)‐furanone derivatives. The formed products react with hydrazine hydrate to give the corresponding pyrazolecarbohydrazide derivatives which undergo intramolecure cyclization upon treatment with HCl/AcOH mixture to affored 1,2,7,8‐tetrazaspiro[4.5]deca‐2,9‐diene‐6‐one derivatives. Molecular mechanics energy minimization techniques and related structural parameters for compound 8‐(4‐methylphenyl)‐1,3,4‐triphenyl‐7‐oxa‐1,2‐diazaspiro[4.4]nona‐2,8‐diene‐6‐one 5a are reported.     

Thermoluminescence of B2O3-Li2O glass system doped with MgO

Lithium borate (LiB) glasses in the system (100−x)B₂O₃-xLi₂O with x=20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 mol% were prepared. The glasses were doped with different concentrations of the order of 10⁻¹, 10⁻², 10⁻³, 10⁻⁴ and 10⁻⁵ of MgO and their thermoluminescent (TL) response was investigated. The irradiations were performed using γ rays from a ⁶⁰Co source in the dose range from 0.1 to 25 kGy. The material displayed good sensitivity for γ-rays and intensity of TL signals is dependent on γ-ray dose and Li₂O content. For each dose level and investigated temperature range (50-350 °C), exactly single isolated glow peak appears in the temperature range of 165-205 °C depending on both Li₂O concentrations and time of exposure. The shape of the glow peak has altered significantly with increase in the gamma ray dose or Li₂O concentrations. The glass composition with x=50 mol% doped with 10⁻³ mol% of MgO presented the best TL response. The results of the present study indicated that the recorded single and isolated high temperature peak is a good candidate for TL dosimetric investigations. This indicates that 50 B₂O₃-50Li₂O-doped with 10⁻³ mol% of MgO is possibly used as materials for radiation dosimetry in the dose range of 0.1-20 kGy.
