Objective: The present work deals with the synthesis and characterization of biologically active new indole derivatives, namely, 2-((1H-benzo[d] imidazol-2-yl) thio)-N-(4-(4-(1H-indol-3-yl)-8-methyl-1H-benzo[b][1,4]diazepin-2-yl) phenyl) acetamide 3a-d, N-(4-(4-(1H-indol-3-yl)-8-methyl- 1H-benzo[b][1,4]diazepin-2-yl) phenyl)-2-((5-methoxy-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl) thio) acetamide 4a-d and N-(4-(4-(1H-indol-3-yl)-8-methyl-1H-benzo[b][1,4]diazepin-2-yl) phenyl)-2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylthio) acetamide 5a-d.Methods: All these newly synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activity by an agar plate diffusion method, antioxidant activities such as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), radical scavenging activity (RSA), ferric ions (Fe3+) reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and ferrous (Fe2+) metal ion chelating activity.Result: The structures of all the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by their infrared,1H nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectral studies, and elemental analysis. Compounds 7a and 7b exhibited good RSA at a concentration 100 μg/ml, compounds 6d, 7a-d and 8a-c displayed good FRAP at a concentration 100 μg/ml, compounds 7b-d and 8b-d showed good Fe2+ ion metal chelating activity. Compounds 6b, 6d, 7a-d, and 8a-d exhibited good activity against all the screened bacteria and fungi.Conclusion: Some of the compounds have shown potent antimicrobial activity against all the screened bacteria and fungi, and some have exhibited very good antioxidant activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
