4-Pentenoic acid exhibits broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against foodborne pathogens by disrupting bacterial membrane integrity and inhibiting efflux pump systems.

4-pentenoic acid showed broad-spectrum activity against 21 strains of pathogenic bacteria, and the combination of 4-pentenoic acid with antibiotics exerted additive antibacterial effects, providing theoretical and experimental basis for the development of new food preservatives and antibacterial agents.

Antibacterial profiling, mechanistic characterization and in silico studies of pyrrolo[3,4-d]isoxazolidine-naphthalimide hybrids targeting Staphylococcus aureus.

In an effort to diverge from the molecular framework of conventional drug molecules, a series of pyrrolo[3,4-d]isoxazolidine-naphthalimide hybrids have been synthesized via a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between azomethine N-oxides and N-substituted maleimide, with the aim of exploring moieties capable of lesseni...

First Antibacterial Evaluation of an Anthraquinone–triphenylphosphonium Conjugate (SH1) against Sensitive and Drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli

The results identify SH1 as a previously uncharacterised antibacterial agent active against MRSA and support the anthraquinone–DLC pharmacophore as a membrane-active scaffold warranting further structural optimisation.
