An efficient and simple protocol for the synthesis of a new class of diverse bis(indolyl)pyridines analogues of the marine alkaloid nortopsentin has been reported. A one-pot four-component ...condensation of 3-cyanocarbomethylindole, various aldehyde, 3-acetylindole, and ammonium acetate in glacial acetic acid led to the formation of 2,6-bis(1
-indol-3-yl)-4-(substituted-phenyl)pyridine-5-carbonitriles. Additionally, 2,6-bis(1
-indol-3-yl)-4-(benzofuran) pyridine-5-carbonitriles were prepared via a one-pot four-component condensation of 3-cyanocarbomethylindole, various
-substituted-indole-3-aldehydes, 2-acetylbenzofuran, and ammonium acetate. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their ability to inhibit biofilm formation against the Gram-positive bacterial reference strains

Coumarins are heterocycles of great interest in the development of valuable active structures in chemistry and biological domains. The ability of coumarins to inhibit biofilm formation of Gram ...positive bacterium (Staphylococcus aureus), Gram negative bacterium (Escherichia coli) as well as the methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) has been previously described. In the present work, new hybrid coumarin-heterocycles have been synthesized via the reaction of coumarin-6-sulfonyl chloride and 6-aminocoumarin with different small heterocycle moieties. The biological efficacy of the new compounds was evaluated towards their ability to inhibit biofilm formation and their anti-inflammatory properties. The antimicrobial activities of the newly synthesized compounds were tested against Gram positive bacterium (S. aureus ATCC 6538), Gram negative bacterium (E. coli ATCC 25922), yeast (Candida albicans ATCC 10231) and the fungus (Aspergillus niger NRRL-A326). Compounds 4d, 4e, 4f, 6a and 9 showed significant MIC and MBC values against S. aureus, E. coli, C. albicans, and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) with especial incidence on compound 9 which surpasses all the other compounds giving MIC and MBC values of (4.88 and 9.76 µg/mL for S. aureus), (78.13 and 312.5 µg/mL for E. coli), (9.77 and 78.13 µg/mL for C. albicans), and (39.06 and 76.7 µg/mL for MRSA), respectively. With reference to the antibiofilm activity, compound 9 exhibited potent antibiofilm activity with IC
of 60, 133.32, and 19.67 µg/mL against S. aureus, E. coli, and MRSA, (respectively) considering the reference drug (neomycin). Out of all studied compounds, the anti-inflammatory results indicated that compound 4d effectively inhibited nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-(LPS-) stimulated RAW264.7 macrophage cells, giving NO% inhibition of 70% compared to Sulindac (55.2%).
Cdc25 phosphatases have been considered promising targets for anticancer development due to the correlation of their overexpression with a wide variety of cancers. In the last two decades, the ...interest in this subject has considerably increased and many publications have been launched concerning this issue. An overview is constructed based on data analysis of the results of the previous publications covering the years from 1992 to 2021. Thus, the main objective of the current review is to report the chemical structures of Cdc25s inhibitors and answer the question, how to design an inhibitor with better efficacy and lower toxicity?

Two series of Schiff bases and Mannich bases derived from 5-heptadecyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole hybrids of indole moiety have been synthesized. First, the acid-catalyzed reaction of N-substituted-1H-indole-3-carboxaldehydes with the modified fatty acid, 4-amino-5-heptadecyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol, afforded 1,2,4-triazole Schiff bases 5a-d. Treatment of 5a-d with some halo-compounds gave S-alkyl-1,2,4-triazoles 6a-d to 9a-d. Additionally, the reaction of 5a-d with different secondary amine and paraformaldehyde afforded Mannich base products 10a-d to 13a-d. Basically, viral infections are often followed by bacterial infections that require antimicrobial treatment. The antiviral bioassay revealed that compounds 6d and 7d exhibited significant antiviral activity against NRC-03-nhCoV with IC50 equal 8.7 and 8.925 μM, respectively. Next, the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as yeast and fungi. Compound 5b exhibited effective antimicrobial activities against all microbial test strains. 5b revealed MIC values of 19.53 μg/mL against S. aureus, 39.063 μg/mL against E. coli, and 39.125 μg/mL against C. albicans. On top of that, the release of reducing sugars and proteins from the treated bacterial strains over the untreated bacterial strains was undertaken to describe the effect of compound 5b on the intact cells. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been applied to study the possible sterilization process of the antimicrobial compound 5b. The results indicated the possibility of destroying the cell membrane structure of microbes, resulting in incomplete microbial structures, and thus achieving inhibition. To putatively highlight the antiviral and antimicrobial activities of the potent compounds, they were subjected to molecular docking against the key viral and microbial protein targets.
Starting from N-substituted indole-3-carboxaldehydes (1a-g) a series of new 3-(N-substituted indol-3-yl)methyleneamino-6-amino-4-aryl-pyrano(2,3-c)pyrazole-5-carbonitriles (3a-g and 4a-g) have been ...synthesized via the acid catalyzed condensation reaction of 1a-g with 3-amino-5-pyrazolone, followed by the reaction with arylidene malononitriles. A series of new 3,6-diamino-4-(N-substituted indol-3-yl)pyrano(2,3-c)pyrazole-5-carbonitriles (7a-g) have been prepared either via the base catalyzed condensation reaction of 1a-g with 3-amino-5-pyrazolone to give 6a-g, followed by the reaction with malononitrile or by the reaction of N-substituted-3-indolylidene malononitriles (5a-g) with 3-amino-5-pyrazolone. According to the obtained results, the newly synthesized compounds possess significant anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anticonvulsant activities. The anticonvulsant potency of certain tested compounds was more pronounced than both anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. Moreover, most of the newly synthesized compounds possess potential antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

A series of 1-(N-methyl 2a–c and N-benzenesulphonyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-3-aryl-prop-2-ene-1-ones 3a–c were prepared and allowed to react with urea, thiourea or guanidine and gave the pyrimidine ...derivatives 4a–c to 9a–c. Base catalyzed reaction of 2a–c or 3a–c with ethyl acetoacetate gave cyclohexanone derivatives 10a–c and 11a–c, respectively. Reaction of the latter compounds with hydrazine hydrate afforded indazole derivatives 12a–c and 13a–c, respectively. On the other hand, condensation of 2c or 3c with some hydrazine derivatives namely, hydrazine hydrate, acetyl hydrazine, phenyl hydrazine and benzyl hydrazine hydrochloride gave pyrazole derivatives 14a,b-17a,b, respectively. Moreover, reaction of 2c or 3c with hydroxyl amine hydrochloride gave isoxazole derivatives 18a,b. The newly synthesized compounds were tested for their antimicrobial activity and showed that, compounds 14a, 14b, 15a and 15b were found to be the most active ones of all the tested compounds toward Salmonella typhimurium (ATCC 14,028) compared to the reference drug chloramphenicol.
