BACKGROUND Biomphalaria alexandrina snails, as transitional hosts of schistosomiasis, plays an essential part in spread of the illness. Control of these snails by the substance molluscicides antagonistically influences the oceanic climate, causing poisonous and cancer-causing consequences for non-target life forms. OBJECTIVE Looking for new naturally safe substances can be used for treatment of schistosomiasis disease with minimal side effects on environment and plants, fish wealth and did not affect on human vital functions. METHODS Fifty fungal species were used to evaluate their activity against Biomphalaria alexandrina. Study the effect of fungal extract on vital functions of Biomphalaria alexandrina and fish wealth. Purification of active substances and identification of their chemical structures. Results Cladosporium nigrellum and Penicillium aurantiogresium metabolites were effective against B. alexandrina snails, the effects of promising fungal extracts sub-lethal concentrations (IC10 & IC25) on the levels of steroid sex hormones, liver enzymes, total protein, lipids, albumin and glucose were determined. Chemical analyses of this filtrate resulted in the separation of a compound effective against snails; it was identified. Protein electrophoresis showed that fungal filtrate affects the protein pattern of snails' haemolymph. Little or no mortality of Daphnia pulex individuals was observed after their exposure to sub lethal concentrations of each treatment. CONCLUSION Certain compounds from fungal cultures could be safely used for biological control of Biomphalaria alexandrina snails.

BACKGROUND Chemical modification of Oxadiazole may lead to a potent therapeutic agent. A series of novel 5-pyrazyl-2-sulfanyl-1, 3, 4-oxadiazole derivatives (5a-g) have been synthesised utilising pyrazinoic acid as a precursor. The new oxadiazole compounds were docked against potential targets and evaluated for antibacterial and antitubercular activity. METHODS The 5-pyrazyl-2-substituted sulfanyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives (5a-g) were synthesized from the crucial intermediate 2-sulfanyl-5-pyrazyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole (4), which was prepared by treating the 2-pyrazyl hydrazide with CS2 and pyridine. IR, 1HNMR, 13C, MS and elemental analyses were used to confirm the chemical structures. RESULTS Antimicrobial activity was determined for each synthesized compound. Additionally, compounds were evaluated for antitubercular activity against the Mycobacterium Tuberculosis H37Rv strain. Compounds 5c, 5g, and 5a had a favourable antibacterial profile, while 5c and 5g (MIC = 25 g/ml) demonstrated potential antitubercular activity when compared to the other produced compounds. Molecular docking experiments using V-Life Science MDS 4.6 supplemented the biological data. CONCLUSION Each compound has been tested for antibacterial and antitubercular action against a variety of microorganism strains and exhibits considerable activity. Additionally, molecular docking analysis confirmed the experimental results by describing improved interaction patterns.

BACKGROUND Artemisinin based combination therapies (ACTs) typified by dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine phosphate is one of the first line drugs used in the treatment of Plasmodium falciparum malaria. However, the emergence of drug resistance to ACTs show the necessity to develop novel sustained release treatment in order to ensure maximum bioavailability. OBJECTIVES To formulate dihydroartemisinin (DHA)-piperaquine phosphate (PQ) sustained release tablets based on solidified reverse micellar solutions (SRMS). METHODS The SRMS was prepared by fusion using varying ratios of Phospholipon® 90H and Softisan® 154 and characterised. The tablets were prepared by using an in-house made and validated mould. The formulations were tested for uniformity of weight, hardness, friability, softening time, erosion time and in vitro-in vivo dissolution rate. Anti malarial properties were studied by modified Peter's 4-days suppressive test in mice. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used in analysis of results. RESULTS Smooth caplets, with average weight of 1300 ± 0.06 to 1312 ± 0.11 mg, drug content of 61 mg for DHA and t 450 mg for PQ. Tablets hardness ranged from 7.1 to 9.0 Kgf and softening time of 29.50 ± 1.90 min. Erosion time of 62.00 ± 2.58 to 152.00 ± 1.89 min were obtained for tablets formulated with Poloxamer 188 (Batches R2, S2 and T2) which significantly reduced the softening and erosion time (p < 0.05). In vitro release showed that optimized formulation had maximum release at 12 h. Formulations exhibited significantly higher parasitaemia clearance and in vivo absorption compared to marketed formulations at day 7 (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION DHA-PQ tablets based on SRMS is much easier and relatively cheaper to produce than compressed tablets. They also showed exceptionally better treatment of malaria owing to their sustained release properties and improved bioavailability and is recommended to Pharmaceutical companies for further studies.

BACKGROUND Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the organism that causes tuberculosis to develop (TB). In 2019, 10 million individuals worldwide contracted tuberculosis, with 1.4 million people dying from the disease each year (World Health Organization, 2021). Hydrazones-hydrazide-based drugs have been shown to be bactericidal against M. tuberculosis replication. OBJECTIVES We herein intended to synthesize a series of acid hydrazones (3a-3l) by condensing 4-nitrobenzohydrazine with substituted aromatic acids in ethanol at room temperature. MATERIALS AND METHODS All newly synthesized compounds were characterized by standard spectroscopic techniques. Synthesized compounds were then tested for anti-mycobacterial analysis, H37Rv strains. Molecular docking analysis was performed for three crystal structures of 1ENY, 1TED and 2FUM Mycobacterium tuberculosis receptors. RESULTS Among all tested molecules, 3i (MIC: 50 μg/mL) and 3b (MIC: 50 μg/mL) were found to best ligands for further development of new anti-TB drug. We noticed that our proposed molecules were having higher docking scores that corresponding standard anti-TB agents such as Ciprofloxacin and Isoniazid. Synthesized compounds were found to have Drug-Likeness properties when tested with Lipinski's filter for drug-likeness. CONCLUSION From our current study, we wish to propose N'-arylidene-4-nitrobenzohydrazides as anti-TB agents. Agents with such system can be developed in future for developments into active lead molecules.

BACKGROUND The worldwide pandemic fought by COVID-19 could emerge another type of pandemic, the increase in bacterial resistance against antibiotics. Emergency treatment based on antibioticsis a major influence in increasing this resistance. Bacteria, such as Klebsiella pneumoniae, are most affected by the indiscriminate use of antibiotics since they are resistant to most antibiotics currently available on the market. OBJECTIVE This review aimed to evaluate patents of new drugs and formulations, for the treatment of infections caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae. METHODS The present patent review was carried out through a specialized search database Espacenet. The selection was based on the criteria of patents published from 2010 to May 2021, in any language, and containing the keywords in title or abstract. Also, a research was performed on the PubMed database, using the inclusion criteria. RESULTS Twenty-two patents were selected for the analysis according to the aim of the study. The advance of new patents has been mostly seen in World Intellectual Property Organization, China, and United States. The results showed that the main approach was the drug association, followed by drug carriers, new isolated products, and vaccines. CONCLUSION It has been observed that few studies use new drug alternatives for the treatment, probably due to the higher cost of the development and lack of investments. The effectiveness and safety of these therapies depend on the acceptance, the correct prescription, and rational use of medicines. Therefore, this review can further develop new treatments as alternatives against Klebsiella pneumoniae and pneumonia caused by it.

BACKGROUND COVID-19 is still soaring around the world, and the new delta COVID-19 variant is on the rise and spreading around the world. OBJECTIVE to show development of therapeutic strategy of antiviruses in drugs for antivirals in disorders of the respiratory system, we conduct patent analysis surrounding drugs for antivirals in disorders of the respiratory system. MATERIALS AND METHOD European granted patents filed from January 2002 to June 2021 were analyzed. We use a combination of International patent classification (IPC) "A61p31/12" (antivirals) and "A61p11/00" (drugs for disorders of the respiratory system) to identify relevant European patent documents. RESULTS Our study showed that R&D of drugs for antivirals in disorders of the respiratory systems was decreasing over past 20 years. Chemical drugs show more variety in structures and no a common feature for this drug development. The chemical drugs or herbal medicines were much earlier appeared than biological products in research and development. In addition, large global companies play a leading role in developing kinase inhibitors as chemical drugs. CONCLUSION There are three strategies for developing drugs for antivirals in disorders of the respiratory system, including chemical drugs, herbal medicines or natural products, and biological products. Herbal medicines may provide a new insight and approach for developing drugs for antivirals in disorders of the respiratory system. A combination of chemical drugs and natural products may be a therapeutic method for treating patients with COVID-19.
