Abstract
A series of 5-substituted imidazolones 1-20 analogs were prepared by the condensation of different substituted 5-oxazolone analogs with various aromatic amines by using microwave irradiations. The structures of all the newly synthesized compounds were elucidated by using IR and 1H-NMR. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated against six bacterial strains i.e. M. luteus MTCC 2470, S. aureus MTCC 96, B. subtilus MTCC 121, P. aeruginosa MTCC 2453, K. planticola MTCC 530, E. coli MTCC 739 and one fungal strain C. albicans MTCC 3017. Ampicillin and amphoterecin B was used as standard drug for antibacterial and antifungal activity, respectively. Out of all, compound 7 and 10 were found to possess broad spectrum antibacterial activity. Compound 13 exhibit significant antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria where as 5, 14 and 18 shows good to moderate antibacterial activities against Gram-positive bacteria.
Socioeconomic burden of rheumatic heart disease: An insightful look at in Indian population
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) continues to be a major health hazard in most developing countries. RHD describes a group of short-term (acute) and long-term (chronic) heart disorders that occur as a result of acute rheuma...
Mycobacterium tuberculosis has affinity of frequent mutation in the codon sequence 530-533 of mutation type serine 531 leucine
As long as MDR-TB verified, use of inadequate and hence ineffective antibiotics may lead to further spread of resistant bacteria and amplification of resistance. Therefore, rapid diagnosis and identification of MDR-TB is...

Phophodiesterase-4 enzyme inhibitors as potential anti-inflammatory agents
The Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are a diverse family of enzymes that hydrolyze cyclic nucleotides such as cAMP & cGMP to the inactive 5’-AMP and 5’-GMP, respectively and thus play a key role in regulating intracellular lev...
