Synthesis, Characterization and Antimicrobial Screening of Novel Hydrazide Ligand & It’s Transition Metal Complexes

Published ArticleDifferent transition metal complexes were synthesized from novel 3-bromo-2-[1-(4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-oxo-2H-pyran-3- yl)ethylidene]hydrazide ligand (H2L) and characterized by spectral techniques. The synthesized ligand was found to act mono as well as di deprotonated (OH, NH) manner and stoichiometry of the ligand to metal ions was confirmed to be 1:1 in case of complex using metal chloride salts, whereas 1:2 in case of metal(II) complexes using metal acetate(II) salt. Structures of metal complexes were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, TGA, XRD, elemental analysis and UV technique which revealed that Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) complexes were octahedral geometry and those of Cu(II), Zn(II) showed square planner and tetrahedral geometry around metal ion respectively. Furthermore H2L and its metal complexes were screened for antimicrobial activity which showed that ligand enhanced its biological activity after coordination with metal ions. In particular, Cd(II) and Mn(II) complexes exhibited excellent antifungal activity

Microwave Assisted One Pot Synthesis of 3,4-Dihydropyrano[c]chromene Derivatives using [Emim]OH Ionic Liquid as Novel Catalyst

Published ArticleOne-pot efficient protocol to the synthesis of 2-amino-5-oxo-4,5-dihydropyrano(3,2-c)chromene-3-carbonitrile derivatives via condensation of various aryl aldehydes, dicyanomethane and 4-hydroxycoumarin in presence of Emim hydroxide as an excellent homogeneous liquid catalyst. The key advantages of this methodology are mild reaction conditions, novel catalyst, short reaction time, eco-friendly, easy work-up procedure and high yield of isolation of derivatives

Copper Acyl Salicylate Has Potential as an Anti-Cryptococcus Antifungal Agent

Published ArticleThe in vitro antifungal activity of aspirin against cryptococcal cells has been reported. However, the unwanted effects of aspirin may limit its clinical application. Conceivably, a derivative of aspirin could overcome this challenge. Toward this end, this study considered the usage of an aspirinate-metal complex, namely, copper acyl salicylate (CAS), as an anti-Cryptococcus antifungal agent. Additionally, the study examined the effects of this compound on macrophage function. The in vitro susceptibility results revealed that cryptococcal cells were vulnerable (in a dose-dependent manner) to CAS, which might have effected growth inhibition by damaging cryptococcal cell membranes. Interestingly, when CAS was used in combination with fluconazole or amphotericin B, synergism was observed. Furthermore, CAS did not negatively affect the growth or metabolic activity of macrophages; rather, it sensitized those immune cells to produce interferon gamma and interleukin 6, which, in turn, might have aided in the phagocytosis of cryptococcal cells. Compared to our aspirin data, CAS was noted to be more effective in killing cryptococcal cells (based on susceptibility results) and less toxic toward macrophages (based on growth inhibition results). Taking these findings together, it is reasonable to conclude that CAS may be a better anti-Cryptococcus drug that could deliver better therapeutic outcomes, compared to aspirin
