새로운 다섯개의 tetrahydroquinazolines 의 합성과 구조 결정 및 생물학적 평가는 보고 되었다. 최초에 준비된 cyclohexanones는 목표분자를 얻기 위한 synthon으로 사용되어졌다. 이들은 치환된 벤즈알데히드와 결합되어졌고, 얻어진 chalcone은 구아니딘 염산염으로 처리했다. 모든 분자들은 인간세포에 무독하며 상당한 항균성을 보여줬다.

The biologically active compounds derived from different natural organisms such as animals, plants, and microorganisms like algae, fungi, bacteria and merine organisms. These natural compounds possess diverse biological activities like anthelmintic, antibacterial, antifungal, antimalarial, antiprotozoal, antituberculosis, and antiviral activities. These biological active compounds were acted by variety of molecular targets and thus may potentially contribute to several pharmacological classes. The synthesis of natural products and their analogues provides effect of structural modifications on the parent compounds which may be useful in the discovery of potential new drug molecules with different biological activities. Natural organisms have developed complex chemical defense systems by repelling or killing predators, such as insects, microorganisms, animals etc. These defense systems have the ability to produce large numbers of diverse compounds which can be used as new drugs. Thus, research on natural products for novel therapeutic agents with broad spectrum activities and will continue to provide important new drug molecules.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the inhibitory activity of natural products, against growth of Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) and Salmonella typhimurium (KCCM 11862). Chitosan, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), and garlic were used as natural bioactives for antibacterial activity. The testing method was carried out according to the disk diffusion method. All of chitosan, EGCG, and garlic showed inhibitory effect against the growth of E. coli and Salmonella typhi. To evaluate the antibacterial activity of natural products during storage, chicken skins were inoculated with $10^6$ of E. coli or Salmonella typhi. The inoculated chicken skins, treated with 0.5, 1, or 2% natural bioactives, were stored during 8 day at $4^{\circ}C$. The numbers of microorganisms were measured at 8 day. Both chitosan and EGCG showed significant decrease in the number of E. coli and Salmonella typhi in dose dependent manner (P < 0.05). These results suggest that natural bioactives such as chitosan, EGCG may be possible to be used as antimicrobial agents for the improvement of food safety.

Pasteurella haemolytica is well known to cause severe pneumonia, consolidation and oedema of the lung, and fibrinous pleurisy under the stress and infection of virus in the cattle. In the course of our screening for antimicrobial agents against P.haemloytica, compound 51086 has been isolated from the fermentation broth of Streptimyces sp. 51086. The compound 51086 was purified by SiO2, Sephadex LH-20 and ODS column chromatographies and HPLC, subsequently. The structure of compound 51086 was determined as hygromycin A by combination of 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HMBC, and ESI-MS. This compound showed significant antibacterial activity against P.haemolytica and P.multocida.

Eucalyptus is a rich source of biologically active compounds. Among these, phloroglucinol compounds such as sideroxylonals, macrocarpals, euglobals, and robustadials are unique to Eucalyptus species. Sideroxylonal A is a very potent attachment-inhibitor. Macrocarpals show very strong antibacterial activity against gram positive bacteria. Macrocarpals also show HIV-RTase inhibitory activity. Euglobals are potent inhibitors of Epstein-Barr virus activation and are developed as skin and antitumor agents. They also show granulation inhibitory activity. In this review we aim to remove the existing confusion in literature on macrocarpals and discuss the biological activities and structure-activity relationships of phloroglucinol compounds.

As one of the most versatile semiconductors, zinc oxide (ZnO) with one-dimensional (1-D) nanostructures has been significantly developed for the application of ultraviolet (UV) lasers, photochemical sensors, photocatalysts, and so on. Such 1-D nanowires could be easily achieved due to the anisotropic growth rate along the [0001] direction. However, such typical growth habit leads to decrease the surface area of the (0001) plane, which plays a central role in not only UV lasing action but also photocatalytic reaction. This fact lead us to develop ZnO crystal with enhanced polar surface area through crystal growth control. The purpose of this review is to provide readers a simple route to plate-type ZnO crystal with highly enhanced polar surfaces and their applications for UV-laser, photocatalyst, and antibacterial agents. In addition, we will highlight the recent study on pilot-scale synthesis of plate-type ZnO crystal for industrial applications.

In order to study 2-formylpyridine dithiocarbohydrazones (DTCH's) and their Cu(II) chelates as potential effective antimicrobial agents, twelve new compounds of six DTCH's and their Cu(II) chelates were synthesized. The compositions of Cu(II) chelates were determined on the basis of the data obtained from elemental analysis, electronic and IR spectrophotometry, and other method. They were tested for antimicrobial activity in vitro against a gram-positive, seven gram-negative bacterial species and three fungal species. DTCH's exhibited high antibacterial activity against the gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus, but low activity against the various gram negative bacterial species. In contrast to DTCH'S, their Cu(II) chelates exhibited higher antibacterial activity against St. aureus, but weaker, if any, activity against the gram-negative bacterial species. Both DTCH's and their Cu(II) chelates showed relatively potent antifungal activity against Cryptococcus neoformans, but weak activity against Candida albicans and Candida pseudotropicalis.

3-[(1-Methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-y)thiomethyl] is one of the most important side chains in cephaloporins. This side chain which occures in numerous antibacterial agents, suc as cefamandole, latamoxef, cefoperazone, and cefmenoxime, contributes remarkable potency and broad spectrum. For the continuous work of study on the development of broad spectrum cephalosporins, we become interested in the effect of structural modification of the substituent at the N-1 position of mercaptoterazole toward biological activity because our recent work had demonstraated that the arylsubstituted mercaptotetrazoles (Fig. 1) had favorable effect on the activity against gram-positive bacteria. The main focus of this report was to investigate the relationship between activity and functional groups in the mercaptotetrazole.

A biotransformation approach using microbes as biocatalysts can be an efficient tool for the targeted modification of existing antibiotic chemical scaffolds to create previously uncharacterized therapeutic agents. By employing a recombinant Streptomyces venezuelae strain as a microbial catalyst, a reduced macrolide, 10,11-dihydrorosamicin, was created from rosamicin macrolide. Its chemical structure was spectroscopically elucidated, and the new rosamicin analog showed 2-4-fold higher antibacterial activity against two strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus compared with its parent rosamicin. This kind of biocatalytic approach is able to expand existing antibiotic entities and can also provide more diverse therapeutic resources.

The antibacterial activity of novel ${\beta}$-lactamase inhibitors, 6-exomethylene penamsulfones (CH1240, CH2140), has been compared in vivo with that of sulbactam and clavulanic acid against b-lactamase producing strains. In vivo microbiological assessment was used as experimental mouse infection model by gram negative strains. Against Pseudomonas aeruginosa F0013, cefoperazone/CH 1240 was slightly less active than sulbactam. ampicillin/CH 2140 was less effective than sulbactam against escheriachia coli 3457. Especially against Citrobacter diversus 2046E, amoxicillin/CH 2140 was the most potent and amoxicillin/CH 1240 was slightly more active than clavulanic acid. consequently the difference in efficacy between the drug combinations appers to be related to the degree of protection afforded the animals by the b-lactamasse inhibitors. CH1240 and CH2140 are promising new agents and should undergo further investigations.
