A simple molecular fluorescent probe 5 has been designed and synthesized by appending anthracene and benzhydryl moieties through a piperazine bridge. The probe upon interaction with different metal ions showed high selectivity and sensitivity (2 ppb) for Hg2+ through fluorescence "turn-on" response in HEPES buffer. The significant fluorescence enhancement (～10-fold) is attributable to PET arrest due to complexation with nitrogen atoms of the piperazine unit and Hg2+ in 1:2 stoichiometry, in which a naked-eye sensitive fluorescent blue color of solution changed to a blue-green (switched-on). As a proof of concept, promising prospects for application in environmental and biological sciences 5 have been utilized to detect Hg 2+ sensitively in real samples, on cellulose paper strips, in protein medium (like BSA), and intracellularly in HeLa cells. Moreover, the optical behavior of 5 upon providing different chemical inputs has been utilized to construct individual logic gates and a reusable combinational logic circuit. The combinational circuit (switch ON mode; OR logic gate) is easily resettable to the original position (switch OFF mode; INHIBIT logic gate) by applying reset chemical inputs (OH- and PO43-) with great reproducibility.

Herein, we describe the successful design and synthesis of seventeen new 1,4-diazinanes, compounds commonly known as piperazines. This group of piperazine derivatives (3a-q) were fully characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR, and LCMS spectral techniques. The molecular structure of piperazine derivative (3h) was further established by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. All reported compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal potential against five bacterial (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and two fungal strains (Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans). The complete bacterial screening results are provided. As documented, piperazine derivative 3e performed the best against these bacteria. Additionally, data obtained during molecular docking studies are very encouraging with respect to potential utilization of these compounds to help overcome microbe resistance to pharmaceutical drugs, as explicitly noted in this manuscript.

Novel reversed isoniazid (RINH) agents were synthesized by covalently linking isoniazid with various efflux pump inhibitor (EPI) cores and their structural motifs. These RINH agents were then evaluated for anti-mycobacterial activity against sensitive, isoniazid mono-resistant and MDR clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis and a selected number of compounds were also tested ex vivo for intracellular activity as well as in the ethidium bromide (EB) assay for efflux pump inhibition efficacy. The potency of some compounds against various strains of M. tuberculosis (4a–c, 7 and 8; H37Rv-MIC99 ≤1.25 μM, R5401-MIC99 ≤2.5 μM, X_61-MIC99 ≤5 μM) demonstrated the potential of the reversed anti-TB agent strategy towards the development of novel anti-mycobacterial agents to address the rapidly growing issue of resistance. Further, macrophage activity with >90% inhibition by 1a–c and 3b (MIC90 ≤13.42 μM) and inhibition of EB efflux demonstrated by these compounds are encouraging.
