    Abstract A versatile green chemical procedure for the highly selective construction of 2-aryl substituted benz-/naphthimidazoles starting from the reaction of aromatic 1,2-diamines with a series of substituted arylthioprolines with three to five drops of water under simple grinding at ambient temperature in good yields is described. The short reaction time, simplified experimental procedure, the absence of extraction and chromatographic purification steps in addition to the environment affability makes this green strategy highly attractive in view of green chemistry. The expected reaction to furnish the thiazole grafted benz-/naphthimidazole did not occur. Perhaps the arylthioprolines could be in zwitterionic form, which could react with 1,2-diamine giving dihyrobenzimidazole, which undergoes air oxidation to furnish the 2-aryl benzimidazole rather than the expected thiazole grafted imidazoles.

    Abstract The quest for novel broad spectrum bioactive compounds is needed continuously because of the rapid advent of pathogenic multi drug resistant organisms. Actinomycetes, isolated from unexplored habitats can be a solution of this problem. The motive of this research work was isolation of actinomycetes having potential antimicrobial activities from unexplored regions of Devbag and Tilmati beach. The isolated actinomycetes were screened against pathogenic microbes for antimicrobial activities through cross streak method. Enzyme production activity was checked for these actinomycetes for amylase, protease, cellulase and lipase enzymes. Further antimicrobial activity of ethyl acetate extract of the potent strain KS46 was performed. The strain KS46 was identified with 16S rRNA gene sequencing and secondary structure was analysed. Gas chromatography–Mass spectrometry (GC–MS) profiling was conducted to ascertain the presence of bioactive metabolites in the ethyl acetate extract. The collected samples were pre-treated and 70 actinomycetes were isolated. The Streptomyces sp. strain KS46 showed the best antimicrobial activity in primary screening. Ethyl acetate extract of the strain KS46 revealed antimicrobial activity against S. aureus, B. subtilis, B. cereus, E. faecalis, K. pneumoniae, E. coli, S. flexneri, C. albicans and C. glabrata. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing identified the strain KS46 as Streptomyces levis strain KS46. The GC–MS metabolite profiling of the ethyl acetate extract revealed the availability of 42 compounds including fatty acid esters, fatty acid anhydrides, alkanes, steroids, esters, alcohols, carboxylic ester, etc. having antibacterial, antifungal, antiproliferative, antioxidant activities. This study indicated that Devbag and Tilmati beaches being untapped habitats have enormous diversity of promising antimicrobial metabolite producing actinomycetes. Therefore, further exploration should be carried out to characterize the potential actinomycetes, which can be optimistic candidates for generation of novel antimicrobial drugs.

    Abstract The consistent increase in multidrug resistance among pathogens and increased cancer incidence are serious public health concerns and threaten humans by killing countless lives. In the present study, Talaromyces pinophilus CJ15 was characterized and evaluated for its antibacterial, candidicidal and cytotoxic activities. The selected isolate Talaromyces pinophilus CJ15 with 18S rRNA gene sequence of 1021 base pairs exhibited antifungal activity on plant pathogens via dual culture. The GC-MS profiling of crude extract illustrated the existence of many bioactive macromolecules which include squalene belonging to the terpenoids family. The biological macromolecules in the bioactive fraction of CJ15 exhibited increasing antibacterial activity with an increase in concentration such that the highest activity was recorded against Shigella flexneri with 15, 18, 20, and 24 mm inhibition zones at 25, 50, 75 and 100 μl concentrations, respectively. The squalene, having a molecular weight of 410.718 g/mol, displayed candidicidal activity with a right-side shifted log phase in the growth curve of all the treated Candida species, indicating delayed exponential growth. In cytotoxic activity, the extracted squalene exhibited an IC50 concentration of 26.22 μg/ml against JURKAT cells and induced apoptosis-induced cell death. This study's outcomes encourage the researchers to explore further the development of new and improved bioactive macromolecules that could help to prevent infections and human blood cancer.

    Abstract With an aim to construct novel anticancer drugs, a series of polycyclic heterocycles comprising diverse structural sub-units based on molecular hybridization strategy have been designed and synthesized through a three-component [3 + 2]-cycloaddition/annulation strategy. Anticancer evaluation of these compounds against MCF-7 and NCI-H460 cell lines revealed dose dependent reduction with noteworthy anticancer activity. Compound 4b inhibited MCF-7 and NCI-H460 cell lines with IC50 values 10.86 ± 0.94 and 9.17 ± 0.63 µM respectively. Further, apoptosis and cell cycle analysis revealed that this compound was able to prompt apoptosis at an early stage in MCF-7 cell line besides increasing the threshold of MMP and % of cells expressing FITC-dUTP. These results suggest that compound 4b is a potential molecule for the further exploration.
