Antimicrobial resistance is rapidly spreading over the world as a result of widespread and indiscriminate antibiotic use. Reduction of indole derivatives is an important and fascinating topic of synthetic organic chemistry since it is used to make a variety of medicines, dyes, agrochemicals, and higher alkaloids.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the antibacterial properties of six
indole derivatives, namely 3-(Naphth-1-y methyl) –indole (II),
3-(1-Naphthylcarbonyl – indole (III), 3,3' –diformyl-2,2' –bis indole (IV),
1,4- (3,3' –di indolyl) – 1.
Methods: The indole derivatives were synthesised from 3-formyl indole, which
was further characterised by IR and NMR analyses. The antibacterial activity of
the six produced compounds was tested using the agar diffusion method, and the
results were validated using the microdilution technique to determine their MIC
values.
Results: All of the compounds showed some activity against several bacterial
species, with the exception of compound IV, which only showed activity against
B. subtilis. Compound II was the most effective, with lower MIC values, against
two Gram –ve and one Gram +ve bacteria, the Gram –ve bacteria being known to
cause nosocomial and community-acquired illnesses.
