Synthesis of some novel 1H-indole derivatives with antibacterial activity and antifungal activity

Abstract

The present research works a series of new 1H-Indole derivatives were synthesized. The title compound was obtained by the reaction of indole with chloroacetylchloride in toluene afforded 2-chloro-1-(indoline-1-yl) ethanone which reacts with 1,4 diamine benzene in chloroform afforded 2-((4-aminophenyl)amino)-1-(1H-indol-1-yl)ethan-1-one, on further reaction with various acetophenone in presence of acetic acid in ethanol gave various final derivatives. After synthesis of compounds, the synthesized compounds were characterized by their IR, 1HNMR spectral data and elemental analysis. These derivatives were screened for their antimicrobial activity (Paper-disk-plate technique (disc diffusion method) and Tube-dilution technique (broth microdilution technique), antifungal activity of all synthesized compounds were evaluated against Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans (ATCC 10231) using Fluconazole as the standard drug using the paper plate method and antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli) using Ampicillin as standard medication at a concentration of 50g/ml, 100g/ml. The collected compounds were evaluated for antibacterial activity and antifungal activity. All compounds exhibit significant antimicrobial activity.
