Two series of carbazole analogs of 8-methoxy-N-substituted-9H-carbazole-3-carboxamides (series 1) and carbazolyl substituted rhodanines (series 2) were synthesized through facile synthetic routes. All the final compounds from these two series were evaluated for their preliminary in vitro antifungal and antibacterial activity against four fungal (Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, Cryptococcus tropicalis and Aspergillus niger) and four bacterial (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) strains, respectively. Among the tested compounds, three compounds of series 1 displayed promising antifungal and antibacterial activity, especially against C. neoformans and S. aureus. In addition, one compound of series 1 displayed notable antimicrobial activity (MIC: 6.25 μg/mL) against clinical isolates of C. albicans and C. neoformans (MIC: 12.5 μg/mL). From the second series, four compounds exhibited significant antifungal and antibacterial activity, especially against C. neoformans and S. aureus. The most active compound of series 2 displayed a prominent antimicrobial activity against C. neoformans (MIC: 3.125 μg/mL) and S. aureus (MIC: 1.56 μg/mL), respectively.

InhA (Enoyl-ACP reductase) plays a crucial role in the biosynthetic pathway of cell wall synthesis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Isoniazid (INH) is an important first-line drug, which inhibits InhA. The rapid increase in resistance to INH and currently marketed drugs as well as emergence of MDR-TB and XDR-TB has complicated the diagnosis and treatment of Mtb with ever increasing threat to human kind. Herein, we report novel N-methyl carbazole derivatives as potential anti-TB compounds acting directly via InhA inhibition. All the synthesized final compounds were screened against Mtb virulent cell line H37Rv and investigated the InhA enzyme inhibition. Interestingly, compound 9e displayed promising inhibition (91%) at 50 μM concentration and IC50 of 2.82 μM against InhA. To understand the ligand receptor interaction between compound 9e and InhA, molecular docking and molecular dynamics experiments were performed. The computational results were in agreement with the observed experimental data. Further, the cytotoxicity studies on mammalian cells revealed that all the compounds were safe.

Based on the structure of HIV-1 gp41 binding site for small-molecule inhibitors, optimization of lead 2 resulted in the discovery of a new series of 2,5-dimethyl-3-(5-(N-phenylrhodaninyl)methylene)-N-(3-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)phenyl) pyrrole compounds with improved anti-HIV-1 activity. The most active compounds 13a and 13j exhibited significant potency against gp41 6-HB formation with IC50 values of 4.4 and 4.6 μM and against HIV-1 replication in the MT-2 cells with EC50 values of 3.2 and 2.2 μM, respectively, thus providing a new starting point to develop highly potent small-molecule HIV fusion inhibitors targeting gp41.
