Structural modifications
of the front line antitubercular drug isoniazid provide lipophilic adaptations
of the drug in which the hydrazide moiety of isoniazid is replaced by
1,3,4-oxadiazole heterocycles to eliminate in
vivo acetylation by arylAMine N-acetyltransferase,
which results in the formation of inactive acetylated drug. In the present
study, a series of sixteen oxadiazole derivatives were synthesized and
characterized by IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and mass spectral
studies. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial
activity by broth dilution method against two GrAM-positive bacterial strains (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus), two
GrAM-negative bacterial strains (Pseudomonas
aeruginosa and Escherichia coli)
and two fungal strains (Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger). The minimum inhibitory concentrations of the
compounds were in the range of 1.56–50 µg ml-1 against the
bacterial and fungal strains. The results revealed that all the synthesized compounds
have a significant biological activity against the tested microorganisms.
Among the synthesized derivatives 4g,
4h, 4m and 4p were found to
be the most effective antimicrobial compounds.

The
production and characteristics of rhAMnolipid biosurfactant obtained by the strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa san-ai were investigated.
With regard to the carbon and nitrogen sources, several media were tested to
enhance the production of rhAMnolipids. Phosphate-limited proteose peptone–AMmonium
salt (PPAS) medium supplemented with sunflower oil as a source of carbon and
mineral AMmonium chloride and peptone as nitrogen sources greatly improved the
production of rhAMnolipid, from 0.15 on basic PPAS (C/N ratio 4.0) to 3 g L-1 on
optimized PPAS medium (C/N ratio 7.7). Response surface methodology analysis
was used for testing the effect of three factors, i.e., temperature, concentration of carbon and nitrogen source
(mass %), in the optimized PPAS medium on the production of rhAMnolipid. The
isolated rhAMnolipids were characterized by infrared (IR) spectroscopy and
electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI–MS). The IR spectra confirmed
that the isolated compound corresponded to the rhAMnolipid structure, whereas
MS indicated that the isolated preparation was a mixture of
mono-rhAMno-mono-lipidic, mono-rhAMno-di-lipidic and di-rhAMno-di-lipidic
congeners.

For the heterologous production of a banana glucanase
in Escherichia coli, its gene (GenBank GQ268963) was cloned into a
pGEX-4T expression vector as a fusion protein with glutathione-S-transferase
(GST). BL21 cells transformed with the GST-Mus a 5 construct were employed for
production of the protein induced by 1 mM isopropyl-b-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). The conditions for
protein expression were optimized by varying the temperature (25, 30 and 37
°C) and duration of protein expression (3, 6 and 12 h). The level of protein
production was analyzed by densitometry of the sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylAMide
gel (SDS–PAG) after electrophoretic resolution of the respective cell lysates.
The optimal protein expression for downstreAM processing was obtained after 12
h of cell growth at 25 °C upon addition of IPTG. Recombinant GST-Mus a 5
purified by glutathione affinity chromatography revealed a molecular mass of
about 60 kDa. The IgE and IgG reactivity of the rGST-Mus a 5 was confirmed by
dot blot analysis with sera of individual patients
from subjects with banana allergy and polyclonal rabbit antibodies against banana
extract, respectively. The purified recombinant glucanase is a potential
candidate for banana allergy diagnosis.

Five new dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes of the general formula [MoO2(Rdtc)2],
1–5, where Rdtc- refer to piperidine (Pipdtc), 4-morpholine
(Morphdtc), 4-thiomorpholine (Timdtc), piperazine (Pzdtc) or N-methylpiperazine
(N-Mepzdtc) dithiocarbAMates, respectively, have been prepared. The
complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, conductometric measurements,
electronic, IR and NMR spectroscopy. The complexes 1–5 contain a cis-MoO2
group and have an octahedral geometry. Two dithiocarbAMato ions join as bidentates
with both the sulfur atoms to the molybdenum atom. The presence of different
heteroatoms in the piperidinо moiety influences the n(CN) and n(C
S) vibrations, which wavelengths decrease in the order: Pipdtc > N-Mepzdtc
> Morphdtc > Pzdtc > Timdtc ligands. Based on their spectral data, the
molecular structures of complexes 1–5 were optimized at the semi-empirical
molecular-orbital level, and the geometries, as obtained from calculations, are
described. The antimicrobial activities of the complexes were tested against
nine different laboratory control strains of bacteria and two strains of the
yeast Candida albicans. All the tested strains were sensitive. Complexes
bearing heteroatom in position 4 of piperidine moiety were significantly more
potent against the tested bacteria compared to the corresponding ligands.

The mechanism of
the cycloaddition reaction of the formation of a silicic bis-heterocyclic
compound between singlet state silylenesilylene (H2Si=Si:) and
ethene was investigated by the CCSD(T)//MP2/6-31G method. From the
potential energy profile, it can be predicted that the reaction has one
dominant reaction pathway. The presented
rule of the dominant reaction
pathway is that the [2+2]
cycloaddition effect of the two reactants
leads to the formation of a
four-membered ring silylene (INT1).
When the four-membered ring silylene
(INT1) interacts with ethene, due to sp3
hybridization of the Si: atom in four-membered ring silylene (INT1), the four-membered ring silylene (INT1) further combines
with ethene to form a silicic bis-heterocyclic
compound (P2).

Stability of oil-in-water
emulsions can be achieved by chemically modified starch, such as octenyl
succinic anhydride (OSA) starch, as an emulsifier. In order to analyse the
disperse and rheological characteristics of emulsions containing two kinds of
emulsifiers, part of the OSA starch can be substituted with an adequate
concentration of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), which is a small surfactant
with the sAMe charge as OSA starch. The oil contents of the exAMined emulsions
were 5, 20 and 50 %. The selected OSA starch concentration was 10 % and
replacements of a part of the OSA starch were realized with SDS concentrations
of 1, 3 and 5 %. Dispersed droplets of
emulsions were defined by determination of the Sauter mean diAMeter d32 and particle size distribution. Flow curves
were used to describe the rheological properties of the emulsions. In
addition, the stability of the emulsion sAMples was observed and expressed by the
creAMing index. The obtained results indicated a decrease in the Sauter mean
diAMeter of the droplets, the standard deviation and the apparent viscosity of
the emulsions with increasing AMounts of SDS within the emulsifier mixture OSA
starch–SDS. According to creAMing rate, the emulsions with OSA starch were more
stable than the emulsions stabilized by the OSA starch and SDS combinations.

A highly sensitive method for
the determination of epinephrine is
proposed, which is based on the perturbation of epinephrine to a
Briggs–Rauscher oscillating system involving malonic acid, Mn2+, H+, IO3- and H2O2 at a non-equilibrium stationary
state. The concentration of KIO3 was
chosen as a control parAMeter to find the bifurcation point in this study. The
results showed that a good linear relationship between the difference in the
potential and the negative logarithm of the concentrations of epinephrine
existed in the range 1.1×10-7–5.2×10-9 mol L-1 with a lower detection limit of 6.8×10-10 mol L-1 and a correlation coefficient
of 0.9974. Compared to the classical oscillating reaction, this method has a
lower detection limit and a wider linear range. The effects of some foreign species, which may possibly
exist with epinephrine, on
determination were also investigated. The proposed method was successfully used to determine epinephrine both in serum and adrenaline
hydrochloride injection.

The concentration and accumulation of trace metals
(Co, Ni, As, Cd, Pb and Hg) were measured in seawater, sediments and marine
organisms on the coastline of Montenegro. The obtained results of trace metals
in sea grass and mussels were compared with those found in the water column and
sediment. SAMpling was performed in the fall of 2005 at five locations on the
Montenegrin coastline, Sveta Stasija, Herceg Novi, Zanjice, Budva and Bar,
which present different levels and sources of human impact. The heavy metals
analyses of seawater, sediment, Posidonia
oceanica and Mytilus
galloprovincialis identified the harbor of Bar as the most Hg-contAMinated
site, Zanjice as the most As-contAMinated and Sveta Stasija as the most
Pb-contAMinated areas of the Montenegrin coastal area. This study showed that P. oceanica may have a greater
bioaccumulation capacity than M.
galloprovincialis for the considered metals, except for As and Hg, and both
organisms may reflect contAMination in the water column and in the sediment.
For the first time, the sea grass P. oceanica
and M. galloprovincialis were
employed as metal bioindicators for the southeastern Adriatic. The results of
this study could serve as a baseline for future assessments of anthropogenic
effects in this marine ecosystem.

The
distribution of chromium between soil and leachate was monitored. The natural
process of percolation of rainwater through soil was simulated under laboratory
conditions and studied by column leaching extraction. Migration of chromium in
soil is conditioned by the level of chromium soil contAMination, the organic
matter content in the soil and rainwater acidity. Chromium(III) and
chromium(VI) were determined by a spectrophotometric method with
diphenylcarbazide in acidic media. Comparing the results of chromium
speciation in the leachate obtained by experimental model systems and
geochemical modelling calculations using the Visual MINTEQ model, a
correlation was observed regarding the influence of the tested parameters.
Leachate solutions showed that the concentration of Cr depended on the organic
matter content. The influences of pH and soil organic matter content were in
compliance after their experimental and theoretical definition. The Stockholm
humic model used to evaluate the leaching results corresponded rather well
with the measured values.
