Item The fermentation reaction producing biosurfactant using Pseudomonas aeruginosa CFTR?6 was studied. The progress of the bioreaction was monitored in terms of biomass production, product formation and substrate consumption in shake flask experiments using different initial sugar concentrations. A logistic model for biomass growth was found to be satisfactory. Average estimates of the specific growth rate, biomass yield coefficient and maintenance coefficients were obtained.

The compound 4, on treatment with substituted Isothiocyanates yielded quinoline-thiosemicarbazides 5a-c, which were conveniently cyclized to (5-mercapto-4H-triazol-3-yl)-quinolin-4-ols 6a-c in basic medium. These intermediates were then transformed to their respective chloro derivatives 7a-c by treatment with phosphorus oxychloride, which on further reaction with different biologically active rare amines yielded the target compounds 8a-g, 9a-h and 10a-h in good yield. The ultimate step, involving nucleophilic substitution reaction was achieved by microwave-induced technique, which has reduced the reaction time drastically as well as improved the yield when compared to conventional heating. The newly synthesized final compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities against four strains each. Preliminary results indicated that most of the compounds demonstrated very good antimicrobial activity, comparable to the first line standard drugs. The most effective compounds have exhibited activity at MIC of 6.25 ?g/mL. © 2009 Elsevier Masson SAS.

In the reaction sequence,substituted aniline was cyclized to 4-hydroxy quinoline 1,which was then transformed to 4-chloro-2,8-bis(trifluoromethyl)quinoline 2. The key scaffold 4-hydrazinyl-2,8-bis(trifluoromethyl)quinoline 3,obtained from the compound 2,was successfully converted to target quinoline derivatives,viz. hydrazones 4aet,ureas 5aee,thioureas 6aec and pyrazoles 7aed,in good yields. The newly synthesized title compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli,Staphylococcus aureus,Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae (recultured) and antituberculosis activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and MDR-TB. Preliminary results indicated that most of the hydrazone derivatives demonstrated very good antibacterial and antituberculosis activities while other derivatives showed moderate activity. © 2010 Elsevier Masson SAS.

The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial against Escherichia coli (ATTC-25922), Staphylococcus aureus (ATTC-25923), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC-27853) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (recultured) and antituberculosis activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (ATCC 27294). Preliminary results indicated that most of the compounds demonstrated very good antibacterial and antituberculosis activities which are comparable with the first line drugs. Compounds 6a, 6c, 6g, 6j, 6k and 6n emerged as the lead antitubercular agents with MIC, 1 ?g/mL and 99% bacterial inhibition while eight compounds, viz., 5a, 15k, 6a, 6c, 6g, 6j, 6k and 6n were found to be more potent than INH (MIC: 1.5 ?g/mL) with MIC 1 ?g/mL. © 2009 Elsevier Masson SAS.

All the newly synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal studies. Antimicrobial studies revealed that compounds 4a and 4b showed significant antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa Compound 4i showed significant antifungal activity against C. albicans. © 2009 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Biocatalysis, isolation and subsequent structure elucidation of the newly transformed metabolite (-)-3-hydroxy -2, 3-dihydro pyrrolo [2, 1-b] quinazoline-9(1H)-one (II) is presented. Microbial transformation of Vasicine (I) by Aspergillus niger, Rhizopus arrhizus, Pencillium notatum and Trematus versicolor afforded (-)-3-hydroxy -2, 3-dihydro pyrrolo [2, 1-b] quinazoline-9(1H)-one (II) (100%) as the sole metabolic product. 1, 2, 3, 9-tetra hydrpyrrolo [2, 1-b] quinazolin-3-ol (I) and (-)-3-hydroxy -2, 3-dihydro pyrrolo [2, 1-b] quinazoline-9(1H)-one (II) screened for antibacterial and antifungal activity.Item Design, synthesis and antimicrobial activities of some new quinoline derivatives carrying 1,2,3-triazole moiety(2010) Thomas, K.D.; Vasudeva Adhikari, A.V.; Shetty, N.S.A new series of [1-(6-methoxy-2-methylquinolin-4-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl] methanamine derivatives were synthesized starting from 4-methoxyaniline through multi-step reactions. The title compounds 5a-y were prepared by treating the azide intermediate 4 with propargyl bromide and different alkyl/heterocyclic amines in a sequential three component synthesis. All the new compounds were characterized by spectral and elemental analyses.
