AB  - The soil microbiome controls key functions in
agroecosystems determining soil fertility, crop
productivity, and stress tolerance. Crop rotation
is one of the oldest agricultural practices that has
a positive effect on soil quality and the control of
weeds, pests, and pathogens. New insights into
soil microbiome confirm the positive influence of
crop rotation on the diversity of the microbiome.
This study investigates the effects of different
crop rotations under conventional fertilization/
weed management practices on soil microbial
diversity and community structure in two of the
most commonly grown crops in Serbia. The study
investigated the bacterial population in samples
from long-term cultivation experiment of maize
continuous cropping (M-CC) and maize-winter
wheat rotation (M-WW) at two-time points
(December 2022 and May 2023). The results of
16S rDNA amplicon community profiling and
beta diversity analysis showed clear clustering
depending on season, cropping sequence, and
herbicide application. The results show that the
composition of the bacterial community in soil
is largely influenced by seasonal changes. When
comparing bacterial communities in the same
season (May), we observed a significantly higher
biodiversity in M-CC compared to M-WW soils,
suggesting that type of agricultural practice has
a significant impact on the composition of the
microbiome by influencing selection and survival
of specific microbial taxa. In addition, a significant
shift was observed between the bacterial
community composition in M-CC samples under
herbicide treatment and in control soils in December,
while the M-WW community was stable
under all conditions tested. Taxonomically, Actinobacteria
dominated the soil microbiome under
all conditions (53%), followed by Proteobacteria
(23%), Acidobacteria (15%), and Firmicutes (8%).
Despite fluctuations in relative abundance, some
interesting taxa, including Bacillus, Microlunatus,
and Blastococcus, dominated the soil microbiome
under all conditions. These data provide insights
into microbial dynamics, integrating the cultivation
methods with metagenomic approaches to
evaluate different cropping practices.

AB  - In the continuation of our study of substituted isocoumarins a series of novel 3-azolyl isocoumarin and their thio derivatives, including some related lactone compounds was prepared and biologically profiled against C. albicans showing moderate activity with MIC values in range of 4-60 mu g mL(-1), in general. The additional characterisation of selected compounds was carried out by exploring their activity on CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 enzymes, while experiments on mutagenicity were performed by AMES test. The representative isocoumarins 3b, 4a and 4b showed lower inhibitory activity on CYP enzymes, when compared to the reference inhibitors, ketoconazole and quinidine. Compound 4a showed a higher mutagenic potential than the other two compounds. Further characterization included cytotoxicity profiling against normal MRC5 cells.

AB  - Several coumarin derivatives with a directly attached azole substituent at C-4 were synthesized and biologically studied for their anticancer properties. The cell lines used for this investigation (HeLa, K-562, MDA-MB-53, and MCF-7) demonstrated different sensitivities. The best response in the MTT (3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide) assay was shown by K-562 cells, with compounds displaying activity (3c, IC50 3.06 mu M; 4a, IC50 5.24 mu M; 4c, IC50 4.7 mu M) similar to that of cisplatin (IC50 similar to 6 mu M), which was used as the standard. The studied azole-substituted coumarins demonstrated weaker activity toward other cell lines, except for compound 4c, which was equally potent in the case of MCF-7 cells. Additional biological evaluations supported interference with the cell cycle as a potential mechanism of action and confirmed the absence of toxicity in zebrafish embryos. On the basis of these initial results, 4-azole coumarins should be explored further. Although their activity would need additional optimization, the fact that these compounds are fragment-like structures with MW P  lt 3 offers enough flexibility to fine-tune their drug-like properties.

AB  - A series of novel 3-substituted isocoumarins was prepared via Pd-catalysed coupling processes and screened in vitro for antifungal activity against Candida species. The study revealed antifungal potential of isocoumarins possessing the azole substituents, which, in some cases, showed biological properties equal to those of clinically used voriconazole. Selected compounds were also screened against voriconazole resistant Candida krusei 6258 and a clinical isolate Candida parapsilosis CA-27. Although the activity against these targets needs to be improved further, the results emphasise additional potential of this new class of antifungal compounds.
