Pancreatic Lipase (PL) is a key enzyme responsible for the digestion of 50%–70% of dietary triglycerides, hence its inhibition is considered as a viable approach for the management of obesity. A series of indole-TZD hybrid analogues were synthesized, characterized and evaluated for their PL inhibitory activity. Knoevenagel condensation of various substituted indole-3-carboxaldehyde with substituted thiazolidinediones resulted in the formation of titled analogues. Analogues 6d and 6e exerted potent PL inhibitory activity (IC50-6.19 and 8.96?μM, respectively). Further, these analogues exerted a competitive mode of PL inhibition. Moreover, molecular modelling studies were in agreement with the in vitro results (Pearson's r?=.8682, p?.05). The fluorescence spectroscopic analysis further supported the strong binding affinity of these analogues with PL. A molecular dynamics study (20?ns) indicated that these analogues were stable in a dynamic environment. Thus, the present study highlighted the potential role of indole-thiazolidinedione hybrid analogues as potential PL inhibitors and further optimization might result in the development of new PL inhibitory lead candidates.

Using matrine (1) as the lead compound, a series of new 14-(N-substituted-2-pyrrolemethylene) matrine and 14-(N-substituted-indolemethylene) matrine derivatives was designed and synthesized for their potential application as anticancer agents. The structure of these compounds was characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and ESI-MS spectral analyses. The target compounds were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity against three human cancer cell lines (SMMC-7721, A549 and CNE2). The results revealed that compound A6 and B21 displayed the most significant anticancer activity against three cancer cell lines with IC50 values in range of 3.42–8.05 μM, which showed better activity than the parent compound (Matrine) and positive control Cisplatin. Furthermore, the Annexin V-FITC/PI dual staining assay revealed that compound A6 and B21 could significantly induce the apoptosis of SMMC-7721 and CNE2 cells in a dose-dependent manner. The cell cycle analysis also revealed that compound A6 could cause cell cycle arrest of SMMC-7721 and CNE2 cells at G2/M phase.

This study introduces an efficient method for the selective formylation of indoles and pyrroles at the positions of C(3) and C(2), respectively. The mixture of three equivalents of N,N-dimethylformamide and one equivalent of 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine (cyanuric chloride) generates an easy handling formylating agent for the efficient formylation of these classes of compounds to give the corresponding aldehydes under mild reaction conditions. This procedure was highly efficient, and a range of formylated indoles and pyrroles were obtained in good to excellent yields.
