Aim: In the present work, we have designed and synthesized indole-fused coumarin derivatives as potential antibacterial and antifungal agents. Place and Duration of Study: The present work was carried out at PEA's Modern college of Pharmacy, Sector 21, Yamunanagar, Nigdi- 411044 between the duration of January-2021 to May-2021. Methodology: The in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activity was performed by disc diffusion method. The antibacterial activities were tested using agar nutrient medium against Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus pumilus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa that are representative types of gram-positive and gram-negative organisms respectively. The anti-fungal activity of all the compounds were determined on potato dextrose agar medium against Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans. Clotrimazole 100 μg/ml was used as a standard and DMF was used as control. Results: It was observed that all the compounds were sensitive to the gram +ve bacteria. Compound 2c, 2e, and 2f were sensitive to gram –ve bacteria. Compounds 2a, 2b, and 2f were sensitive to both the fungal strains while all the derivatives were sensitive to Candida albicans. Conclusion: From present investigation it has been observed that compound 2f was sensitive against gram +ve, gram –ve, and both the strains of fungal strains. Structurally, compound 2f possess aldehyde functional group at indole nucleus. Therefore, from present study we have concluded that compound 2f is a lead molecule for the further development of potential antibacterial and antifungal agents.

 2',4',5'- and 2',3',4'-trimethoxy flavanones have been synthesized starting with 2-hydroxyacetophone and substituted aldehyde. Antibacterial activities of the flavanones have been tested along with their corresponding chalcones against two human pathogenic bacteria (Streptococcus-b-haemolyticus and  Klebsiella sp. (G-)). Antifungal activities of the flavanones have also been investigated against  two plants pathogenic mold fungi (Rhizactonia solani Sclerotium rolfsii). The structures of the synthesized compounds have been characterized with the help of  UV, IR and 1H NMR and 13C-NMR spectra. The antibacterial and antifungal screening were performed in vitro by the filter paper disc diffusion method and poisoned food technique. The flavanones showed antibacterial activity while no activity was observed to their corresponding chalcones against the tested bacteria. On the other hand, chalcones and their corresponding flavanones both showed fungicidal activities.

A series of 2-ethoxy-4-{[3-alkyl(aryl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-on-4-yl]-azomethine}-phenyl benzenesulfonates (3) were synthesized from the reactions of 3-alkyl(aryl)-4-amino-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones (1) with 2-ethoxy-4-formyl-phenyl benzenesulfonate (2). N-acetyl derivatives (4) of compounds 3 were also obtained. Then, the compounds 3 have been treated with morpholine and 2,6-dimethylmorpholine in the presence of formaldehyde to synthesize 2-ethoxy-4-{[1-(morpholine-4-yl-methyl)-3-alkyl(aryl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-on-4-yl]-azomethine}-phenyl benzenesulfonates (5) and 2-ethoxy-4-{[1-(2,6-dimethylmorpholine-4-yl-methyl)-3-alkyl(aryl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-on-4-yl]-azomethine}-phenyl benzenesulfonates (6), respectively. The structures of twenty-six new compounds were identified by using elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and MS spectral data. In addition, in vitro antibacterial activities of the new compounds were evaluated against six bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus and Klepsiella pneumonia according to agar well diffusion method. Furthermore, in order to determine the possible antidiabetic properties of the synthesized 1,2,4-triazole derivatives, inhibition effects on the AR enzyme were investigated and molecular docking studies were carried out to determine the receptor-ligand interactions of these compounds. IC50 values of triazole-derived compounds (6a, 6b, 6d-g) against AR enzyme were determined as 0.95 µM, 0.75 µM, 1.83 µM, 0.62 µM, 1.05 µM, 1.06 µM, respectively. Considering the docking scores and binding energies obtained docking studies, it has been shown that molecules fit very well to the active site of the AR enzyme.

: Benzoimidazolphenylethanamine (BPE) was synthesized through the condensation reaction of 1,2-phenyldiamine and L-phenylalanine. The new complexes were prepared from the reaction of 6-amino-N,N-dimethyluracil (ADU), benzoimidazolphenylethanamine and Cadmium (II), Tin (II), Copper (II) and Nickel (II) metal respectively. All new hybrid complexes were fully characterized by spectroscopic data of FTIR, UV-Visible electronic absorption, thermal analysis, X-ray powder diffraction studies and mass spectroscopy. Spectra analyses of the hybrid metal complexes showed the tetrahedral coordination of the ligands to the metal ions via the nitrogen atoms. The in vitro antibacterial activities of the hybrid complexes were assayed against four bacterial isolates namely, Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus aureus as gram positive bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli as gram negative bacteria using agar well diffusion method. Most of the tested isolates were sensitive to most metal hybrid complexes. The drug likeness and bioactivity properties were calculated using Molinspiration Cheminformatics software.

Sporotrichosis is a serious public health problem in Brazil that affects human patients and domestic animals, mainly cats. Thus, the search for new antifungal agents is required also due to the emergence and to the lack of effective drugs available in the therapeutic arsenal. The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro antifungal profile of two synthetic series of coumarin derivatives against Sporothrix schenckii and Sporothrix brasiliensis. The three-components synthetic routes used for the preparation of coumarin derivatives have proved to be quite efficient and compounds 16 and 17 have been prepared in good yields. The inhibitory activity of nineteen synthetic coumarins derivatives 16a-i and 17a-j were evaluated against Sporothrix spp. yeasts and the most potent compounds were 16b and 17i. However, according to concentrations able to inhibit (minimum inhibitory concentrations) and kill (minimum fungicidal concentrations) the cells, 17i was more effective than 16b against Sporothrix spp. Thus, 17i exhibited good antifungal activity against S. brasiliensis and S. schenckii, suggesting that it is an important scaffold for the development of novel antifungal agents.
