A series of 6-(N-aylamono)-7-chloro-5, 8-quinolinedione derivatives was newly synthesized for the evaluation of antifugal activities. 5-Amino-8-hydroxy-quinoline (II) was treated with $KCLO_3$ in HCl to give 6,7-dichloro-5,8-quinolinediones (III). 6-(N-Arylamino)-7-chloro5,8-quinolinediones 1-13 were prepared by regioselective nucleophilic substitution of III with arylamines. In the presence of $CeCl_3$, the N-arylamono groups were introduced at the 6-position of 5,8-quinolinedione ring by the regioselective substitution. These derivatives 1-12 were tested for natifungal and also antibacterial activites, in vitro, against Canadida albicans, Aspergillus nier, Tricophyton mentagrophytes, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coil. The MIC values were determined by the two-fold agar/steak dilution method. Newly obtained 6-(N-arylamino)-7-chloro5,8-quinolinedione derivatives showed potent antifungal and antibacterial activities. Among these derivatives, 1,3,5,7,8 and 9 showed more potent antifungal activities than fluconazole and griseofulvin. Also most of derivatives were found to be more active than ampicillin against gram-positive bacteria. 1 and 7 showed the very potent antifungal activities. 1 was the most efective in preventing the growth of Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Tricophyton mentagrophytes, Bacillus subtills and Staphylococcus aureus at MIC $1.6\;\mu{g/ml}$.

We undertook the present study to evaluate different pharmacological as antioxidant, antibacterial and cytotoxic activities of the crude ethanolic extract of Momordica charantia (Family: Cucurbitaceae) leaves. The antioxidant property of the extract was assessed by 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl free radical scavenging assay. The extract showed antioxidant activity where $IC_{50}$ was about ${\sim}500{\mu}g/ml\;and\;IC_{50}$ was about ${\sim}10{\mu}g/ml$ for standard drug ascorbic acid. The extract showed a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity against all the tested gram positive and gram-negative bacteria where Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi and Shigella dysenteriae were prominent. And the zones of inhibition were ranging from 8-15 mm for all the tested bacteria. Its cytotoxic property was evaluated by brine shrimp lethality bioassay. The extract showed significant lethality and the $LC_{50}$ value was $20{\mu}g/ml$.

The purpose of this study was to investigate dyeing properties and antibacterial activities of cotton and silk fabrics treated with Ginkgo biloba leaf extracted with three kinds of aqueous solvents: distilled water, electrolytic reduction water and electrolytic oxidation water. The optimum dyeing condition of Ginkgo biloba leaf was 120 min at 8$0^{\circ}C$. Electrolytic reduction water had the highest dyeability to both cotton and silk compared with electrolytic oxidation water and distilled water. A color of extract by distilled water and electrolytic oxidation water showed yellowish Yellow Red, extract by electrolytic reduction water showed reddish Yellow Red. Irrespective of kinds of extraction solvents, appropriate acidity of medium was pH 9∼11 and pH 3 for cotton and silk fabrics, respectively. Colorfastness to laundering and Light fastness showed generally low but crocking fastness was excellent. Antibacterial activities of the treated fabrics above were 99.9%.

Antibacterial activity test of solvent fractions, sesquiterpenoid lactones, and Compound I and II extracted from Chrysanthemum boreale M. and Chrysanthemum indium L. were performed against four microorganisms. Among the tested substances, antibacterial activities were appeared against B. subtilis and V. parahaemolyticus at the chloroform fraction, sesquiterpenoid lactones and Compound I extracted from C. boreale. But chloroform fraction and sesquiterpenoid lactones extracted from C. indicum were showed weakly than those of C. boreale. Compound II and all fractions extracted from C. indicum were not appeared against the all tested microorganisms.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the antibacterial effects of natural colors extracted from yellow natural dyes(Tumeric, Amur Cork Tree and Onion Shell). The water and the methanol extracts of Tumeric and Amur Cork Tree significally decreased the growth of E. coli in vitro and the methanol extract of Tumeric exhibited the strongest inhibitory effect among the samples. Silk and nylon fabrics dyed with water and methanol extracts of the yellow natural dyes showed antimicrobial activities against E. coli and Staph aureus in the Bioassay Test. Nylon fabric dyed with methanol extracts of them showed strong antibacterial effect on E. coli compared with that of water extracts. However, slik fabrics dyed with the extracts could not reduce the growth of E. coli. Silk or nylon fabrics dyed with methanol or water extracts of yellow natural dyes showed antimicrobial activities against Staph aureus. The antimicrobial activity of the fabrics dyed with methanol extracts from Tumeric, Amur Cork Tree and Onion Shell was stronger than that of water extracts, especially, the fabrics dyed with Tumeric extract showed the highest antibacterial property among the dyed fabrics.

A new class of halobenzyloxy or alkoxy 1,2,4-triazoles and their hydrochlorides were synthesized through cyclization starting from commercially available phenylhydrazine. The structures were characterized by MS, IR and $^1H$ NMR spectra as well as elemental analyses. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial activities in vitro against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC29213), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (N315), Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli (ATCC25922), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Shigella dysenteriae, Eberthella typhosa, and antifungal activities against Candida albicans (ATCC76615), Aspergillus fumigatus by broth microdilution assay method. The results of preliminary bioassay indicated that 3-(2,4-difluorobenzyloxy)-1-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole hydrochloride exhibited the best inhibitory activity with an MIC value of 56.25 ${\mu}M$ against P. aeruginosa superior to Chloramphenicol, and showed comparable activity with Chloramphenicol against E. coli (ATCC25922).

It was prevously shown that 'Kamisamhwang-Tang' had been examined for effects of the anticonvulsion, antipyretic, analgesic and sedative. To investigate the effect on cardiovascular system and antibacterial activities, pharmacological studies have been carried out with each extract. The results of this investigation were summarized as follows: 1) 'Kamisamhwang-Tang' depressed central convulsion induced by strychnine, picrotoxine and caffeine in mice. 2) Antipyretic, analgesic and sedative action were observed. 3) Hypotensive effect was observed in rabbits. 4) Antibacterial activities was observed.

New cephalosporin antibiotics,7-[(3,4-dihydro-6-methoxycarbonyl-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1,4-thiazin-3-yl)acetamido]-3-[(substituted pyrimidin-2-yl)thiomethyl]-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid derivatives(2a∼2d) were synthesized. These new cephalosporin derivatives were prepared by the introduction of pyridinylthiomethyl moiety in 3-position and thiazine group in 7-position of 7-ACA. Antibacterial activities of these compounds were examined and the relationship between structure and activities were studied. As the result, these compounds showed low antibacterial activities compared to cefotaxim used as control.
