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. The newly synthesized final compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities against pathogenic strains. The preliminary screening results indicated that most of the compounds demonstrated moderate to very good antibacterial and antifungal activities, comparable to the first-line drugs. Twenty five new derivatives of [1-(6-methoxy-2-methylquinolin-4-yl)-1H-1,2,3- triazol-4-yl] methanamine have been synthesized and the most effective compounds have MIC of 6.25 ?g/mL, which are in comparable with present antibiotics. © 2010 Elsevier Masson SAS.

In the present study, polycrystalline ZnS quantum dots were synthesized from an endophytic fungus Aspergillus flavus. It is noteworthy that apart from being rich sources of bioactive compounds, endophytic fungus also has the ability to mediate the synthesis of nanoparticles. TEM and DLS revealed the formation of spherical particles with an average diameter of about 18 nm and 58.9 nm, respectively. The ZnS quantum dots were further characterized using SEM, EDAX, XRD, UV-visible spectroscopy and FTIR. The obtained results confirmed the synthesis of polycrystalline ZnS quantum dots and these quantum dots are used for studying ROS activity. In addition this paper explains kinetics of metal sorption to study the role of biosorption in synthesis of quantum dots by applying Morris-Weber kinetic model. Since Aspergillus flavus is isolated from a medicinal plant Nothapodytes foetida, quantum dots synthesized from this fungus may have great potential in broad environmental and medical applications. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.

The design and fabrication of metal sulfide nanoparticles with tunable properties for advanced applications have drawn a great deal of attention in the field of nanotechnology. ZnS is a potential II–IV group material which is used in hetero-junction solar cells, light emitting diodes, optoelectronic devices, electro luminescent devices and photovoltaic cells. Due to their multiple applications, there is a need to elucidate their thermal and optical properties. In the present study, thermal and optical properties of biologically synthesized ZnS nanoparticles are determined in detail with Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), Derivative Thermogravimetric Analysis (DTG), Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC), Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS), Photoluminescence (PL) and Raman spectroscopy. The results reveal that ZnS NPs exhibit a very strong quantum confinement with a significant increase in their optical band gap energy. These biologically synthesized ZnS NPs contain protein residues that can selectively bind with metal ions in aqueous solutions and can exhibit an aggregation-induced color change. This phenomenon is utilized to quantitatively measure the metal concentrations of Cu2 + and Mn2 + in this study. Further the stability of nanoparticles for the metal sensing process is accessed by UV–Vis spectrometer, zeta potential and cyclic voltammeter. The selectivity and sensitivity of ZnS NPs indicate its potential use as a sensor for metal detection in the ecosystem. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.Item Structural modification of zolpidem led to potent antimicrobial activity in imidazo[1,2-: A] pyridine/pyrimidine-1,2,3-triazoles(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019) Reddyrajula, R.; Udayakumar, U.Ambien (zolpidem), an imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivative, is a commercial drug to treat insomnia which also possesses antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. In this paper, we describe the synthesis of three diverse lead series of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine/pyrimidine-1,2,3-triazoles (IPTs) which are designed by specific structural modifications of zolpidem. Most of the IPTs exhibited remarkable in vitro antitubercular activity with an MIC of 1.56 ?g mL-1, which is two-fold higher than the MIC of zolpidem. Further, the synthesized IPTs displayed moderate inhibitory activity against several bacterial and fungal strains as well, and also showed an acceptable safety profile as verified through in vitro cytotoxicity assessment against Vero cells. In addition, the potent IPTs exhibited promising binding interactions within the active site of the InhA enzyme. An interesting correlation between the in vitro inhibitory activity and the binding mode was observed: most of the potent molecules (MIC = 1.56 ?g mL-1) interact through a H-bond with the Tyr 158 residue of the target enzyme. These efforts toward the structural modification of zolpidem could be helpful for further optimization of the IPT core to develop new anti-TB drugs.
