The first sulfur labelled compound, [(2)H(4),(34)S]indolyl-3-acetothiohydroxamic acid, is incorporated into the phytoalexins cyclobrassinin and spirobrassinin and the indole glucosinolate glucobrassicin, indicating that both biosynthetic pathways are closely related.

Reaction of tryptamine 1 with dimethyl -3-methoxyallylidenemalonate 2 afforded N?-[4,4-bis (methoxycarbonyl)-1,3-butadienyl] tryptamine 3 which in combination with acetylchloride and pyridine in dichloromethane gave N?, N?-[acetyl]-[(4,4-dinethoxycarbonyl) 1,3butadienyl] tryptamine 4. Treatment of 3 with sodium hydroxide afforded 2H[N-(3-indolyl) ethyl] 2-oxo-3-methoxycarbonyl-1-pyridine 5. Cy...

The stereochemical divergent synthesis of indolyl-pyrrolidines was accomplished using an imidazoline-aminophenol (IAP)-Ni(OAc)2 complex and a bis(imidazolidine)pyridine (PyBidine)-Cu(OTf)2 complex. The former catalyzed exo'-selective asymmetric [3 + 2] cyclization of iminoesters with indolyl nitroalkenes, and the latter catalyzed the reaction in an endo-selective manner. These catalysts are tol...

The bicycloannulation reaction between cyclohexenone and indolyl enamines yields trans-3-(cyclic amino)-2-(3'-indolyl)bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-5-ones, and these adducts are conformationally restricted analogues of indolylethylamine (tryptamine) which exhibit structure-dependent affinity for the serotonin 5HT2 and 5HT1a receptors. The stereochemistry of the isomeric endo and exo adducts obtained is a...

the use of quantitative structure–activity relationships, since its advent, has becomeincreasingly helpful in understanding many aspects of biochemical interactions in drug research.this approach was utilized to explain the relationship of structure with biological activity ofantibacterial. for the development of new fungicides against, the quantitative structural–activityrelationship (qsar) an...

The study synthesized a supramolecular complex of glycyrrhizic acid and β -indolyl-3-acetic in 4:1 ratio isolated from the root plant licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.). resulting GA:IAA (4:1) was chemically identified based on comparison IR – Fure spectra starting agents.

A few analogues of atevirdine or 1-[(5-methoxyindol-2-yl) carbonyl]-4-[3- (ethylamino)-2-pyridyl] piperazine – an anti-HIV belonging to non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors were synthesized and evaluated for anti-HIV activity. Replacement of indolyl moiety with 2-alkylthio-1-benzyl-5-imidazolyl substituent afforded 1-[2-(alkylthio-1-benzyl-5-imidazolyl) carbonyl]-4-[3-(isopropylamino...

Methuosis is a form of nonapoptotic cell death characterized by an accumulation of macropinosome-derived vacuoles with eventual loss of membrane integrity. Small molecules inducing methuosis could offer significant advantages compared to more traditional anticancer drug therapies that typically rely on apoptosis. Herein we further define the effects of chemical substitutions at the 2- and 5-ind...

Several bis- and tris-indole derivatives were isolated from a North Sea bacterium that was closely related to Vibrio parahaemolyticus (98% homology). 1,1,3-Tris(3-indolyl)butane (3) is a new compound, and 3,3-bis(3-indolyl)butane-2-one (1a), arundine (1b), and 1,1,1-tris(3-indolyl)methane (2a) were isolated from a microorganism for the first time here. Additionally, many other known compounds w...
