Objective: The objective of the present work deals with the synthesis, characterization and evaluation of antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of N-phenylpropyl-3-substituted indoline-2-one derivatives.Methods: A series of new 3-hydroxy-3-(2-oxoethyl)-1-(3-phenylpropyl) indolin-2-one derivatives 3(a-l) and 3-(2-oxoethylidene)-1-(3-phenylpropyl) indolin-2-one derivatives 4(a-l) were synthesized by knoevenagel condensation of N-phenylpropyl-5-substituted indole-2,3-diones with various acetophenones analogues. The chemical structures of synthesized compounds were confirmed by IR, 1 HNMR and Mass spectroscopic and elemental data. These compounds were also screened for their in vitro antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.Results: Novel compounds 3-hydroxy-3-(2-oxoethyl)-1-(3-phenylpropyl) indolin-2-one derivatives 3(a-l) and 3-(2-oxoethylidene)-1-(3-phenylpropyl) indolin-2-one derivatives 4(a-l) were synthesised and characterized using spectral and analytical data. The results of antibacterial and antifungal and antioxidant activities showed that some of the synthesized compounds exhibited promising results. Conclusion:All the newly synthesized compounds were screened for antimicrobial activity by cup plate method and antioxidant activity by the DPPH method using Ciprofloxacin and Amphotericin B as standards against gram positive and gram negative bacteria and fungi respectively.
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.
