Objective: The present work deals with the synthesis and characterization of biologically active new indole derivatives, namely, 2-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 (Fe
Result:The structures of all the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by their infrared, 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectral studies, and elemental analysis. Compounds 7a and 7b exhibited good RSA at a concentration 100 Âľg/ml, compounds 6d, 7a-d and 8a-c displayed good FRAP at a concentration 100 Âľg/ml, compounds 7b-d and 8b-d showed good Fe 2+ 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.
