家蝇幼虫壳聚糖的抑菌活性及影响因子

为研究昆虫壳聚糖的抑菌活性及影响因子, 由家蝇Musca domestica幼虫制备了10个不同分子量的壳聚糖,在不同条件下分别对6种细菌作抑菌实验, 并通过测定细菌细胞膜和细胞壁的透性初步探讨了壳聚糖的抑菌机理。结果表明,分子量在21～251 kD的壳聚糖有很强的抑菌活性,抑菌活性呈现随pH的降低而增加的趋势,pH 5.5时最低抑菌浓度在0.03％～0.06%之间,Ca²⁺和Mg²⁺能够显著降低壳聚糖的抑菌作用。通过对实验结果的方差分析表明,壳聚糖的不同分子量、pH值和金属离子等外界因素都是壳聚糖抑菌活性的极显著影响因素,而菌株本身也是极显著影响因素之一。壳聚糖能够增加细胞膜通透性,造成细胞内容物的外泄。     

壳聚糖微球分散体系的抑菌性研究

以乳化交联法制备的壳聚糖微米微球(CMs)为试验材料,研究其对金黄色葡萄球菌和大肠杆菌的抑菌行为,并对其浓度因素、粒径因素和抑菌机理做了探讨。结果表明CMs的抑菌作用随其浓度的增加和粒径的减小而增强。在浓度<0.7 mg/mL时,CMs对细菌的生长具有先抑制后促进的作用;当浓度≥0.7 mg/mL时对细菌有杀灭作用。CMs对两种细菌的最小抑菌浓度和最小杀菌浓度分别为0.8、1.4 mg/mL和1.0、1.8 mg/mL,表明壳聚糖微球对金黄色葡萄球菌和大肠杆菌均具有明显的抑制作用,且金黄色葡萄球菌对微球抑制作用的反应比大肠杆菌更敏感。扫描电子显微镜观察发现,细菌能迅速贴附在CMs表面,并且贴壁后的细菌发生了明显的形态变化,有的甚至完全被破坏。

Organometallic-based antibacterial and antifungal compounds: transition metal complexes of 1,1'-diacetylferrocene-derived thiocarbohydrazone, carbohydrazone, thiosemicarbazone and semicarbazone

Organometallic-based, 1,1'-diacetylferrocene-derived antibacterial and antifungal thiocarbohydrazone, carbohydrazone, thiosemicarbazone and semicarbazone have been prepared by condensing equimolar amount of 1,1'-diacetylferrocene with thiocarbohydrazide, carbohydrazide thiosemicarbazide and semicarbazide, respectively. These were used as ligands for the preparation of their cobalt (II), copper (II), nickel (II) and zinc (II) metal complexes. All the synthesized ligands and their complexes were characterized by IR, NMR, elemental analyses, molar conductances, magnetic moments and electronic spectral data. These synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtillis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella typhi, and for antifungal activity against Trichophyton longifusus, Candida albicans, Aspergillus flavus, Microsporum canis, Fusarium solani and Candida glaberata using the agar-well diffusion method. All the compounds showed good antibacterial and antifungal activity which increased on coordination with the metal ions thus, introducing a novel class of organometallic-based antibacterial and antifungal agents.     

Effect of abiotic factors on the antibacterial activity of chitosan against waterborne pathogens

To assess the adaptability of chitosan (from agricultural waste) as a natural disinfectant, its antibacterial activity against bacteria associated with waterborne diseases was investigated by varying such abiotic conditions, as pH and ionic strength and by adding different amounts of acid solvent, metal ions, and EDTA. Two major waterborne pathogens, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, were examined. Results showed that organic acids with low carbon number were better solvents for chitosan than were inorganic acids. The effect of pH below 6 on the antibacterial activity of chitosan was significant. The antibacterial activity of chitosan increased with ionic strength but decreased with the addition of metal ions. The addition of Zn(2+) ions inhibited the antibacterial activity of chitosan the most, while the addition of Mg(2+) ions inhibited the antibacterial activity of chitosan the least. This was due to the chelating capacity of chitosan toward metal ions. The antibacterial activity of chitosan against E. coli was enhanced by EDTA. However, the antibacterial activity of chitosan against S. aureus was partially suppressed by EDTA. The antibacterial activity of chitosan was also dependent on its charges and solubility. The antibacterial mechanism of chitosan has currently been hypothesized as being related to surface interference. The results show that the chitosan is a potential bactericide under various environmental conditions.     

Effects of alkali metal ions on some virulence traits of<Emphasis Type="Italic">Candida albicans</Emphasis>

The effects of the alkali metal ions (Li+, Na+ and K+) on the growth and on certain virulence factors (adhesion, cell-surface hydrophobicity and germinating ability) of Candida albicans were determined. High concentrations of these ions displayed an inhibitory effect on the growth of the Candida cells; preincubation in their presence showed a negative effect on all virulence factors studied. The changes induced during the preincubation remained there even when high concentration of the ions was removed from the cell suspension. In contrast, a considerable growth was found at high Na+ and K+ concentrations. Although alkali metal ions significantly decreased certain virulence traits of the fungus they did not totally inhibit adhesion and germ-tube formation. This suggests that C. albicans may represent a health hazard even at a high salt concentration.     

Chitosan�CEDTA New Combination is a Promising Candidate for Treatment of Bacterial and Fungal Infections

Chitosan is an attractive preparation widely used as a pharmaceutical excipient. This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial activities of chitosan derivatives, EDTA, and the newly developed chitosan-EDTA combination against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria as well as Candida albicans. Antimicrobial activity was studied. Both minimal Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) and minimal biocidal concentrations (MBC) were determined. Chitosan acetic acid recorded lower MIC values against Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans than those exhibited by EDTA. EDTA failed to have inhibitory activity against Enterococcus faecalis as well as MBC against any of the studied microorganisms. Chitosan acetic acid's MBC were recorded to all examined species. Checkerboard assay results indicated a synergistic antimicrobial activity of the new combination against Staphylococcus aureus and an additive effect against other microorganisms. Moreover, a short microbial exposure to chitosan-EDTA (20-30 min) caused complete eradication. Due to the continuous emergence of resistant strains, there is an urgent need to discover new antimicrobial agents. Our findings suggest the use of chitosan as an enhancing agent with antibacterial and antifungal properties in combination with EDTA in pharmaceutical preparations.

These compounds have been screened for antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtillis, Shigella flexneri, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella typhi, and for antifungal activity against Trichophyton longifusus, Candida albicans, Aspergillus flavus, Microsporum canis, Fusarium solani and Candida glaberata using the agar-well diffusion method. All the synthesized compounds have shown good affinity as antibacterial and/or antifungal agents which increased in most of the cases on complexation with the metal ions.

Chitosan-cobalt(II) and nickel(II) chelates as antibacterial agents

Antibacterial behavior of chitosan-bivalent metal chelates (Co and Ni) was investigated in vitro against standard bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 4533, S. faecalis ATCC 8043 and Escherichia coli ATCC 25923. The chitosan-metal chelates were prepared by varying the molar ratio of metal ions to a fixed amount of chitosan. The metal ion contents, structural properties and morphology of the chelates were respectively determined using ICP-OES, FT-IR and SEM. All the chitosan-metal chelates showed wide spectrum of effective antibacterial activities better than free chitosan and the individual metal ions. The results indicated that inhibitory effects of the chelates were dependent not only on the property of the coordinated metal ion, but also on the molar ratio of the metal ion. Consequently, the ideal inhibitory effects could be obtained with metal ion of high charge intensity and when the molar ratio of chitosan to metal was above 1:1. These chelates are promising materials for novel antibacterial agents.     

In-vitro antibacterial, antifungal and cytotoxic activities of some coumarins and their metal complexes

The results of these studies show the metal complexes to be more antibacterial and antifungal as compared to the uncomplexed coumarins. The brine shrimp bioassay was also carried out to study their in vitro cytotoxic properties.
