The sodium iodide/hydrogen peroxide-mediated oxidation/lactonization of indolepropionic acids was achieved, affording the corresponding spirocyclic oxindole-lactones in moderate to high yields. This metal-free procedure features mild reaction conditions, non-toxicity and easy handling, with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as a clean oxidant. (Figure presented.).

Flavin-dependent halogenases are potentially useful biocatalysts for the regioselective halogenation of aromatic compounds. Haloaromatic compounds can be utilised in the synthesis and biosynthesis of pharmaceuticals and other valuable products. Here we report the first X-ray crystal structure of a tryptophan 6-halogenase (SttH), which enabled key residues that contribute to the regioselectivity in tryptophan halogenases to be identified. Structure-guided mutagenesis resulted in a triple mutant (L460F/P461E/P462T) that exhibited a complete switch in regioselectivity; with the substrate 3-indolepropionate 75 % 5-chlorination was observed with the mutant in comparison to 90 % 6-chlorination for the wild-type SttH. This is the first clear example of how regiocomplementary halogenases can be created from a single parent enzyme. The biocatalytic repertoire of SttH was also expanded to include a range of indolic and non-indolic substrates.

In this article, we report herein the SAR studies of a series of (1H-indol-3-yl)alkyl-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)propanamide 10(a-j), 11(a-j). The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their preliminary in vitro antibacterial, antifungal activity and were screened for antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain. The synthesized compounds displayed interesting antimicrobial activity.

Novel 2-aryl indole hNK1 receptor ligands were prepared utilising palladium cross-coupling chemistry of a late intermediate as a key step. Compounds with high hNK1 receptor binding affinity and good brain penetration (e.g., 9d) were synthesised.

A series of new N-(pyridin-4-yl)-(indol-3-yl)alkylamides 44-84 has been prepared in the search of novel antiallergic compounds. Synthesis of the desired ethyl (2-methyindol-3-yl)acetates 1-4 was achieved by indolization under Fischer conditions; Japp-Klingemann method followed by 2- decarboxylation afforded the ethyl (indol-3-yl)alkanoates 17-25. Amidification was successfully carried out by condensation of the corresponding acids or their N-aryl(methyl) derivatives with 4-aminopyridine promoted by 2-chloro-1-methylpyridinium iodide. Efforts to improve the antiallergic potency of the title series by variation of the indole substituents (R1, R2, R) and the length of the alkanoic chain (n = 1, 2, 3) led to the selection of N-(pyridin-4-yl)-[1-(4-fluorobenzyl)indol-3- yl]acetamide 45, out of 41 compounds. This amide was 406-fold more potent than astemizole in the ovalbumin-induced histamine release assay, using guinea pig peritoneal mast cells, with an IC50 = 0.016 μM. Its inhibitory activity in IL-4 production test from Th-2 cells was identical to that of the reference histamine antagonist (IC50 = 8.0 μM) and twice higher in IL-5 assay: IC50 = 1.5 and 3.3 μM, respectively. In vivo antiallergic activity evaluation confirmed efficiency of 45 in sensitized guinea pig late phase eosinophilia inhibition, after parenteral and oral administration at 5 and 30 mg/kg, respectively. Its efficiency in inhibition of microvascular permeability was assessed in two rhinitis models; ovalbumin and capsaicin- induced rhinorrhea could be prevented after topical application of submicromolar concentrations of 45 (IC50 = 0.25 and 0.30 μM); and it also exerted significant inhibitory effect in the first test after iv and oral administration, with ID50 = 0.005 and 0.46 mg/kg.
