In an effort to improve our knowledge about structure-affinity relationships (SARs) for a class of 3-substituted-indole derivatives as GluN2B-containing N-methyl-D-aspartate-type receptor (NMDAR) ligands, we herein describe the design, synthesis, and preliminary screening of a new series of molecules. The in vitro determination of binding affinities suggested that 5-hydroxy- and 6-hydroxyindole derivatives 12 and 13 were active ligands. Generally, the novel compounds proved to be less potent than their homologs previously reported as promising neuroprotective agents. In fact, our lead compound 3-(4-benzylpiperidin-1-yl)-1-(5-hydroxy-1H-indol-3-yl)ethan-1-one (2) was about 10-fold more active than the new propan-1-one derivative (12). To rationalize the low potency of the new analog 12, docking studies were also performed and the in silico results were consistent with the in vitro data.

Infections caused due to multidrug resistant organisms have emerged as a constant menace to human health. Even though numerous antibiotics are currently available for treating infectious diseases, a great number of bacterial strains have acquired resistance to many of them. Among these, infections caused due to Staphylococcus aureus are predominant in adult and paediatric population. Indole is a prominent chemical scaffold found in many pharmacologically active natural products and synthetic drugs. A number of oxime ether containing compounds have attracted attention of researchers owing to their interesting biological properties. Current work details the synthesis of indole containing oxime ether derivatives and their evaluation for antimicrobial activity against a panel of bacterial and mycobacterial strains. Synthesized compounds demonstrated good to moderate activity against drug-resistant S. aureus including resistant to vancomycin. Among all, compound 5h was found to possess potent activity against susceptible as well as MRSA and VRSA strains of S. aureus with MIC of 1 μg/mL and 2–4 μg/mL respectively. In addition, compound 5h was found to be non-toxic to Vero cells and exhibited good selectivity index of >40. Further, 5h, E-9a and E-9b possessed good biofilm inhibition against S. aureus. With these assuring biological properties, synthesized compounds could be potential prospective antimicrobial agents.

An efficient cobalt(III)-catalyzed method for the direct C-H amidation of unprotected indoles for 2-amino indole scaffold construction has been developed. With dioxazolone as the amidating reagent, a variety of 2-amino indole derivatives were achieved in moderate to excellent yields using an organic acid as the additive and a ketone as the directing group.
