Abstract:Due to the lack of new antimicrobial drug discovery in recent years and an ever-growing prevalence of multidrug-resistant “superbugs”, there is a pressing need to explore alternative ways to combat pathogenic bacterial and fungal infections. Building upon our previous work in the field of medicinal phytochemistry, the present study is focused on designing, synthesizing, and testing the altered bioactivity of new variants of two original bioactive molecules found in the Argemone mexicana plant. Herein, we repor… Show more
