Synthesis, antimicrobial and antimutagenic effects of novel polymeric-Schiff bases including indol

WOS: 000475344800091Herein, the synthesis and characterization of three new polymeric-Schiff bases including indol (L-1, L-2, L-3) were reported. The antibacterial and antifungal activity of all compounds were investigated by the well-diffusion method against some selected microorganisms as potential antimicrobial agents. In addition, the anti-genotoxic properties of these polymeric-Schiff bases were examined against sodium azide in human lymphocyte cells by micronuclei (MN) and sister chromatid exchange (SCE) tests.

Vitamin A status and factors associated in healthy school-age children

Background & aims: Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is one of the most widespread vitamin deficiencies. Vitamin A is essential for children in order to ensure a healthy life span and sustain the normal growth and development. Aim of this study is to examine vitamin A status, and factors associated with it, in healthy school-age children

Synthesis and in Vitro Antimicrobial Evaluation of Novel Potent Bioactive Heterocyclic Compounds

In the present work, the antibacterial and antifungal properties of six new heterocyclic Schiff bases (HSb1, HSb2, HSb3, HSb4, HSb5, HSb6) were evaluated as potential bioactive compounds against the disease-causing pathogenic microorganisms (S.epidermidis, S.aureus, B.cereus RSKK863, E.aerogenes, P.aeroginosa sp., K. pneumonia, S. type H, P.vulgaris, E. coli and (C.albicans Y-1200-NIH). The well-diffusion-method was used to determine the antimicrobial activity. For this purpose, heterocyclic Schiff bases were synthesized by condensation reaction of aldehyde derivatives and thiosemicarbazide derivatives. Spectral analysis techniques (organic elemental analysis, FT-IR,H-1-NMR, HRMS, SEM-EDX) were used to characterize the synthesized compounds. It was determined that all the newly synthesized heterocyclic Schiff bases exhibited sound, high or moderate inhibitory effects on the growth of selected different standard antibiotics.
