Abstract
New dibenzo[b,e]thiepins were synthesized, characterized by elemental analysis, spectral studies (1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, IR) and screened for their microbicidal and antibiofilm properties. The new dibenzo[b,e]thiepins and their sulfones exhibited a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity (superior for the S-oxidized compounds) being effective at low concentrations against a wide range of infectious microorganisms. The oximes exhibited anti- A. baumanii activity.
Some of the compounds exhibited good antibiofilm activity against the Gram-negative, non-fermentative bacilli P. aeruginosa and A. baumanii, and their possible target suggested by molecular modeling being the synthesis of the quorum sensing molecules employed by the Gram-negative microorganisms represented by N-acyl-l-homoserine lactones.Keywords: Dibenzothiepins, Anti-biofilm activity, Molecular modelling, A. baumanii

Carbohydrates conversion in biofuels and bioproducts
Biomass pretreatment, hydrolysis, and saccharification of carbohydrates, and sugars bioconversion in biofuels and bioproducts within a biorefinery framework. Carbohydrates derived from woody biomass, agricultural wastes, algae, sewage sludge, or any other lignocellulosic feedstock are included in this issue. Simulation, techno-economic analysis, and life cycle analysis of a biorefinery process are ...read more
Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
