1. Introduction
Antibiotics are among the medicines that are widely used in the field of health, as there are many
about these antibiotic compounds and their derivatives, which have succeeded in eliminating a group
of bacteria and fungi that infect living organisms[1].
It is known that most of these compounds are susceptible to being interfered with by hemoglobin in
the blood by nitrogen or oxygen and sulfur atoms present within the formulations of these drugs [4].
The binding property leads to a reduction in the proportion of iron it is found in the body of people
who take large amounts of these antibiotics, and it is noticed that the diuretic changes of these people
during the course of treatment with these medicines.
Therefore, thinking and searching for ways to reduce this effect of these drugs began while
preserving or increasing their therapeutic efficacy, as the combinations of these antagonists have been
used and contain groups through which to add groups that have the ability to supply the body with iron
instead of reducing its percentage in the body and increasing its therapeutic effectiveness. the research
dealt with one of these types of antibiotics that are widely used to treat ear infections Central, urinary
tract infections and diseases that affect the respiratory system[2], which is Trimethoprim[3] and its
abbreviation TMP Trimethoprim[5] as in the Figure1 and Gallic acid[6] derivatives Figure 2 and

Figure 3 have the ability to be persistent with many ions of transitional elements, and among these
ions that the body of the organism needs are the iron ions[7], and some of its derivatives are able to
bind with the antibiotic containing the amine groups that have been used.
In this research, by increasing the efficacy of trimethoprim, preventing its association with
hemoglobin, and increasing the second derivative of the new antibiotic and its complexes in water and
increasing its biological effectiveness[8].

The study also showed the biological effectiveness of the prepared compounds compared to the
starting material against two types of bacteria As shown in the Table 4 and Figure20.The results
indicate that the solvent has no inhibitory activity towards the studies of bacteria[23],[24], which
confirms that the measured inhibition diameters are due to the activity of the prepared compounds. All
compounds have biological efficiency for both sexes of bacteria. It is noted from the results that the
compounds (L1,L2,C1,C2,C4 and C5) have a greater inhibitory activity compared to the compound
trimethrim on both sexes of bacteria because the presence of a double membrane surrounding each
bacterial cell. Although all bacteria have a membrane The inner cell, and Gram-negative bacteria, have
a unique outer membrane. This outer membrane excludes some Cell-penetrating medicines and
antibiotics [25] but the C1 haven’t inhibitory activity towards bacteria Staphylococcus app for all
weights . A table (4) shows the results of the biological effectiveness of the prepared compounds and

5.Conclusions
Many measurements were made on the compounds prepared in this research, and through the analysis
of the results, this study proved the expected formula for it, as the results of the analyzes of the
infrared spectrum, the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum and the mass spectrum of the prepared
compounds were made and compared with the chemistry literature in conformity with what was
planned in preparing these Compounds . which are part of a series of compounds prepared in a lengthy
study of a group of compounds prepared and will be published later.
The study of thermal analysis of TGA of the prepared complex, which is part of an integrated study
of the complexes of the prepared complexes of TMP derivatives, also proved that it is identical with
the structural formula of the complex prepared in the study.

New compounds series of [M(TMP)(en)]X·nH 2 O and [M(TMP)(PD)]X·nH 2 O, where M = Ni 2+ , Cu 2+ , Zr 4+ , Ag + , Cd 2+ , TMP = trimethoprim, en = ethylenediamine, PD = o-phenylene and X= Cl − or NO 3 − , were prepared. The compounds were characterized using techniques including melting points, conductance, elemental analysis, FTIR, NMR, and mass spectroscopy. FTIR spectra indicated TMP acted like a bi-dentate ligand, combining via the nitrogen atoms of azomethine and pyrimidine amino groups. Diamine ligands (en or o-PD) are coordinated via two nitrogen atoms. Prepared compounds showed monomeric behavior and adopted a 6-coordinate octahedral geometry based on magnetic susceptibility and UV spectra. Conductivity measurements revealed Zr(IV) compounds were 1:2 conductive, while Ag + and Cd 2+ were 1:1 conductive; Ni 2+ and Cu 2+ compounds were non-conductive. Antibacterial tests on compounds and ligands against Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus demonstrated broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. The mixed metal compounds revealed an observable tendency of antibacterial activity in the order Zr > Cd = Ag > Cu, making Zr(IV) compounds the most biologically active among them against S. aureus (Gram-positive) while the same compounds showed less antibacterial activity against B. subtilis (Gram-negative) than the free ligand.

This study is about making and figuring out what trimethoprim (TM), a popular corrosion inhibitor, is like and then using it as an inhibiting agent to stop corrosion in carbon steel in acid media (HCl solution) through adsorption. TM has also been known as the prevalent anti-corrosive agent. It can be added to a liquid or gas to slow the pace of a chemical reaction (in the case of a material-typically a metal or alloy-that corrodes when it encounters the fluid). Many antibiotic compounds, such as TM derivatives, diiron salt dihydrate, and diiron salt tetrahydrate, have active groups that can stop metal from corroding. Spectroscopic methods like XRD (X-ray diffraction), FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), UV-visible (ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy), and TGA (thermogravimetric analysis) were used to study the TM drug. Similarly, the OCP (open circuit voltage) technique was introduced to assess the corrosion resistance and the density of current vs. voltage. Finally, this study revealed that TM drugs could be suggested for introduction as corrosion inhibitors due to their simple production and the fact that they have many active groups that exhibit the ability to coordinate with carbon steel. Our study revealed that changes in inhibitor concentrations, the solution's acidity, and the metal's surface area all contribute to adsorption.

It is well known that the majority of these compounds are vulnerable to interference by oxygen, nitrogen, or sulphur atoms included in the medication formulations when haemoglobin in the blood is involved [5]. Those who take significant doses of these antibiotics experience a decrease in the amount of iron in their bodies due to the binding property [6], preventing its association with haemoglobin. As a result, researchers started to consider and look for new medications to treat drug-resistant illnesses. ...

Ruthenium(III), gold(III), and iridium(III) trimethoprim drug (TMP) complexes were synthesized and analyses via microanalytical approach (C, H, N analysis), magnetic, molar conductance, and FTIR, 1H NMR, XRD, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Through two nitrogen atoms of –NH2 amino groups, the TMP drug coordinated as a bidentate ligand towards the corresponding three metal ions. The geometrical structure of the compounds ruthenium(III), gold(III), and iridium(III) is octahedral and consists of two TMP molecules, two coordinated chlorine atoms, and one uncoordinated chlorine atom. The antibacterial properties of TMP complexes have been investigated through the use of many bacterial species, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli. Additionally, the generated complexes' anticancer properties against HepG-2 (human hepatocellular carcinoma) and MCF-7 (human breast cancer cell line) have been assessed. In contrast to those of clinically used antibiotics, the inhibition zone of ruthenium and iridium(III) complexes was in the low efficiency range, and the antibacterial activity of gold(III) complexes was moderate. This article discusses the possibilities and prospects for this family of metallodrugs as antibacterial or anticancer medicines. KEY WORDS: Trimethoprim drug, Chelation, Gold, TEM, XRD, FTIR Bull.

The disc diffusion test is used for antimicrobial susceptibility testing worldwide. In this study, the performance of both Bio-Rad® antibiotic discs (as compared with Oxoid® discs) and the ADAGIO™ automated system for the reading of disc diffusion test results was evaluated with American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) quality control (QC) and wild strains of bacteria. Inhibition zones of both disc brands were read manually and through use of the ADAGIO™ system. Categorized interpretation of the results for each strain and antibiotic combination was summarized according to the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute MS-100 (2017 update) manual and ADAGIO™ readings. Eight ATCC QC strains and 120 different wild strains were evaluated, to give a total of 1226 antibiotic/bacteria combinations and 2486 manual readings. One major error and four minor errors (0.08% and 0.34%, respectively) were detected via manual readings of the Bio-Rad® discs as compared with the Oxoid® discs. For the same number of antibiotic/bacteria combinations, five minor errors and one major error (0.42% and 0.08%, respectively) were detected with the Bio-Rad® discs read by the ADAGIO™ system. In addition, the number of times the automatic reading needed manual edition with Bio-Rad® discs was statistically lower than it did with Oxoid® discs (3.7% vs. 5.7%, p < 0.05). These findings support the hypothesis that Bio-Rad discs are not inferior to Oxoid® discs, and the performance of the ADAGIO™ system is comparable to that of manual readings with both disc brands.

The low content of phenolic groups limits the application of lignin-based materials as biosorbents for the removal of metal ions. In this work, a novel gallic acid-grafted-lignin (GAL, 4.43 mmol/g hydroxyl group) biosorbent was designed by introducing gallic acid moieties to replace the hydroxyl groups of lignin. These grafted polyphenolic groups provide additional sites for the adsorption of metal ions. The structure of GAL was characterized by FT-IR, ³¹P NMR, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The adsorption properties of GAL for Pb(II) ions were investigated under batch conditions. Kinetic and isothermal adsorption processes could be well-described by the pseudo-second order kinetic model and Langmuir isothermal model, respectively. The grafting of polyphenolic groups onto lignin increased the maximum adsorption capacity of the adsorbent for Pb(II) (119.1 mg/g). The adsorption thermodynamics indicated that the adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous. In addition, GAL could selectively adsorb Pb(II) with a selectivity coefficient (k) at 1.89 in the presence of coexisting metal ions from aqueous solution. The high adsorption capacity and selectivity for Pb(II) by GAL, together with its environmental compatibility, enable this material to act as a promising biosorbent for removing heavy metal ions from polluted water.

A new Azo-Schiff base ligand L was prepared by reaction of m-hydroxy benzoic acid with (Schiff base B) of 3-[2-(1H-indol-3-yl)-ethylimino]-1.5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4-ylamine. This synthesized ligand was used for complexation with different metal ions like Ni(II), Co(II), Pd(II) and Pt(IV) by using a molar ratio of ligand: metal as 1:1. Resulted compounds were characterized by NMR (¹H and ¹³C), UV-vis spectroscopy, TGA, FT-IR, MS, elemental analysis, magnetic moment and molar conductivity studies. The activation thermodynamic parameters, such as ΔE*, ΔH*, ΔS*, ΔG*and K are calculated from the TGA curves using Coats-Redfern method. Hyper Chem-8 program has been used to predict structural geometries of compounds in gas phase. The biological activities of Schiff base and its complexes had been tested in vitro against, two Gram positive bacteria (Bacillus subtillis and Staphylococcus aureus) and two Gram negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruguinosa).

This work investigated the activated carbons (ACs) derived from three kinds of biomass waste carbon precursors, i.e. Phragmites australis (PA), mushroom root (MR), and chicken feather (CF) with H4P2O7 activation. The effect of different precursors on porous texture, surface chemistry, and adsorption capacities of the derived ACs were comparatively studied. The pore structure and chemical properties of the ACs were characterized by N2 desorption/adsorption isotherms, element analysis, FTIR, XPS and Boehm’s titration methods. It was found that the surface area and pore volume of AC-PA (SBET = 986.8 m2/g, Vtot = 1.07 cm3/g) and AC-MR (SBET = 950.1 m2/g, Vtot = 1.02 cm3/g) were about 1.7 times higher than those of AC-CF (SBET = 471.4 m2/g, Vtot = 0.28 cm3/g). AC-PA (2.488 mmol/g) possessed more acidic oxygen functionalities than AC-MR (1.736 mmol/g) and AC-CF (1.858 mmol/g), while AC-CF had most basic functional groups. Batch adsorption studies were performed to compare the adsorptive abilities of different ACs for trimethoprim (TMP). It was found that the adsorption affinities of TMP followed an order of AC-PA (244.9 mg/g) > AC-MR (165.6 mg/g) > AC-CF (124.2 mg/g).

Incorporation of halogen atoms to drug molecule has been shown to improve its properties such as enhanced in membrane permeability and increased hydrophobic interactions to its target. To investigate the effect of halogen substitutions on the antibacterial activity of trimethoprim (TMP), we synthesized a series of halogen substituted TMP and tested for their antibacterial activities against global predominant methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains. Structure-activity relationship analysis suggested a trend in potency that correlated with the ability of the halogen atom to facilitate in hydrophobic interaction to saDHFR. The most potent derivative, iodinated trimethoprim (TMP-I), inhibited pathogenic bacterial growth with MIC as low as 1.25 μg/mL while the clinically used TMP derivative, diaveridine, showed resistance. Similar to TMP, synergistic studies indicated that TMP-I functioned synergistically with sulfamethoxazole. The simplicity in the synthesis from an inexpensive starting material, vanillin, highlighted the potential of TMP-I as antibacterial agent for MRSA infections.

Objective: To report a case of hemolytic anemia in a patient who received trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) for a urinary tract infection (UTI). Summary: A 47-year-old woman recently diagnosed with uncomplicated UTI received 3 doses of TMP-SMX. She developed yellowing of the skin and eyes, lethargy, mild abdominal pain, and dry mucous membranes. Laboratory testing demonstrated significant anemia with red blood cells (RBCs) of 1.99, hemoglobin (Hgb) of 6.3 g/dL, and hematocrit (Hct) of 18.1%. TMP-SMX was immediately discontinued. The patient was given methylprednisolone 60 mg intravenously (IV) followed by oral steroids and infused with 3 units of packed RBCs over the course of a 10-day inpatient admission. On discharge, the patient continued oral steroids. Outpatient follow-up indicated Hgb of 11.0 g/dL and Hct of 32.7%, 41 days after hospital discharge. Utilizing the Naranjo adverse drug reaction probability scale, there is a probable association between the patient's hemolytic anemia and TMP-SMX. Conclusion: We report a case of hemolytic anemia resulting from the use of TMP-SMX. Although this is a rare adverse effect, clinicians should be aware of the signs and symptoms of hemolytic anemia, and so appropriate treatment can be administered should it occur.

Spectral Methods in Transition Metal Complexes provides a conceptual understanding on how to interpret the optical UV-vis, vibrational EPR, and NMR spectroscopy of transition metal complexes. Metal complexes have broad applications across chemistry in the areas of drug discovery, such as anticancer drugs, sensors, special materials for specific requirements, and catalysis, so a thorough knowledge in preparation and characterization of metal complexes, while niche, is critical. Accessible to both the seasoned researcher and the graduate student alike, this book provides readers with a single source of content that addresses spectral methods in transition metal complexes. Provides readers with a single reference on metal complexes and coordination compounds. Contains more than 100 figures, tables, and illustrations to aid in the retention of key concepts. Authored by a scientist with nearly 40 years of experience in research and instruction.

Various rod-shaped bacteria mysteriously glide on surfaces in the absence of appendages such as flagella or pili. In the deltaproteobacterium Myxococcus xanthus, a putative gliding motility machinery (Agl–Glt) localizes to so-called Focal Adhesion sites (FA) that form stationary contact points with the underlying surface. We discovered that the Agl–Glt machinery contains an inner-membrane motor complex that moves intracellularly along a right-handed helical path, and when it becomes stationary at FA sites, it powers a left-handed rotation of the cell around its long axis. At FA sites, force transmission requires cyclic interactions between the molecular motor and adhesion proteins of the outer membrane via a periplasmic interaction platform, which presumably involves a contractile activity of motor components and possible interactions with the peptidoglycan. This work provides the first molecular model for bacterial gliding motility.
