Item Novel chromeno [2,3-b]-pyrimidine derivatives as potential anti-microbial agents(2010) Sankappa Rai, U.; Isloor, A.M.; Shetty, P.; Vijesh, A.M.; Prabhu, N.; Isloor, S.; Thiageeswaran, M.; Fun, H.-K.An efficient, microwave irradiated synthesis of novel chromeno[2,3-b]-pyrimidine derivatives was carried out. 2-Amino-3,4-dihydro-2H-chromene-3-carbonitrile was converted into imine using N,N-Dimethylacetaldehyde dimethylacetal to give the core intermediate, which was used for the preparation of chromenopyrimidine library, using acetic acid and different amine in microwave irradiation for 5 min. Structures of newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectral studies. Compound 6g was characterized by single crystal X-ray analysis. All the compounds were also screened for their anti-microbial activity. Few of the compounds are found to be potential antimicrobials. © 2010 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.Item Synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial activity of novel ethyl 1-(N-substituted)-5-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate derivatives(2012) Chandrakantha, B.; Isloor, A.M.; Shetty, P.; Isloor, S.; Malladi, S.; Fun, H.-K.In the present study, a novel series of Pyrazole derivatives (3a-m) were synthesized by condensing ethyl-3-(dimethylamino)-2-(phenylcarbonyl)prop-2- enoate with different aromatic and aliphatic hydrazines. These newly synthesized compounds were characterized by NMR, mass spectral, IR spectral studies as well as by C, H, and N analyses. All the newly synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Among the screened samples, 3c, 3f, 3k, and 3l have showed excellent antibacterial activity against all the tested bacterial strains as compared to the standard drug Ceftriaxone. Few of the compounds were found to be biologically potent. Molecular structure of compound 3i was confirmed by single crystal X-ray analysis. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011.Item Studies on copper coated polysulfone/modified poly isobutylene alt-maleic anhydride blend membrane and its antibiofouling property(2013) Isloor, A.M.; Ganesh, B.M.; Isloor, S.; A.F., A.F.; Nagaraj, H.S.; Pattabi, M.As nanofiltration is gaining more and more importance in the field of desalination, one has to address the many obstacles in order to achieve effective/efficient filtration. One such issue is biofouling and microbial attack to the membrane. This paper describes about the study on copper coating onto the membrane surface as biofouling protective layer. This is an attempt to come up with a new approach for desalination and an antimicrobial membrane. The work indicates that, the copper coated membrane can resist the possible microbial attack to some extent while maintaining good salt rejection and appreciable flux. SEM and EDX studies had shown the distribution of copper on the membrane surface. The copper coated membrane had shown the maximum salt rejection of about 96% for 3500ppm NaCl solution and also it had shown the pure water flux of 36Lm-2h-1. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
