Abstract
Indole and its derivatives are well-known assorted motif in drug design and development. We here in reporting synthesis of new 9-chloro-1-(4-substituted phenyl)-12H-indolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-a]isoquinolines 7 (a-h). Structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by making use of spectroscopic techniques like IR, NMR and Mass. The DFT calculations were taken for the selected molecules using CAM-B3LYP hybrid functional with a 6-31 + g(d) all-electron basis set using the Gaussian 09 package. The drug-likeness predictions were described for the synthesized derivatives. The In vitro antimicrobial and DNA cleavage activities were reported for all compounds 7 (a-h). The compounds 7a, 7b, and 7h showed excellent microbial inhibition and DNA cleavage activity as compared to standard drugs. Furthermore, the docking studies for the newly synthesized molecules were carried out by Auto dock software with two molecular targets Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor tyrosine kinase (1 M17) and C-kit Tyrosine Kinase (1 T46) exhibited better binding affinity of all synthesized compounds. In addition, the docking results were observed to be in full agreement with the in vitro DNA cleavage assay suggesting the potential of synthesized metal complexes in biological applications. Lastly, the protein stability, fluctuations of APO-Protein, and protein-ligand complexes were investigated through Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations studies using Desmond Maestro 11.3 and potential lead molecules were identified.

Abstract
Around 1.6 million people lost their life to Tuberculosis in 2021 according to WHO estimates. Although an intensive treatment plan exists against the causal agent, Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, evolution of multi-drug resistant strains of the pathogen puts a large number of global populations at risk. Vaccine which can induce long-term protection is still in the making with many candidates currently in different phases of clinical trials. The COVID-19 pandemic has further aggravated the adversities by affecting early TB diagnosis and treatment. Yet, WHO remains adamant on its "End TB" strategy and aims to substantially reduce TB incidence and deaths by the year 2035. Such an ambitious goal would require a multi-sectoral approach which would greatly benefit from the latest computational advancements. To highlight the progress of these tools against TB, through this review, we summarize recent studies which have used advanced computational tools and algorithms for-early TB diagnosis, anti-mycobacterium drug discovery and in the designing of the next-generation of TB vaccines. At the end, we give an insight on other computational tools and Machine Learning approaches which have successfully been applied in biomedical research and discuss their prospects and applications against TB.

Abstract
Herein, we report the experimental evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of seventeen new (Z)-methyl 3-(4-oxo-2-thioxothiazolidin-5-ylidene)methyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxylate derivatives. All tested compounds exhibited antibacterial activity against eight Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Their activity exceeded those of ampicillin as well as streptomycin by 10-50 fold. The most sensitive bacterium was En. Cloacae, while E. coli was the most resistant one, followed by M. flavus. The most active compound appeared to be compound 8 with MIC at 0.004-0.03 mg/mL and MBC at 0.008-0.06 mg/mL. The antifungal activity of tested compounds was good to excellent with MIC in the range of 0.004-0.06 mg/mL, with compound 15 being the most potent. T. viride was the most sensitive fungal, while A. fumigatus was the most resistant one. Docking studies revealed that the inhibition of E. coli MurB is probably responsible for their antibacterial activity, while 14a-lanosterol demethylase of CYP51Ca is involved in the mechanism of antifungal activity. Furthermore, drug-likeness and ADMET profile prediction were performed. Finally, the cytotoxicity studies were performed for the most active compounds using MTT assay against normal MRC5 cells.

Abstract
Prevention, accurate diagnosis, and effective treatment of infections are the main challenges in the overall management of infectious diseases. The best example is the ongoing SARs-COV-2(COVID-19) pandemic; the entire world is extremely worried about at present. Interestingly, heterocyclic moieties provide an ideal scaffold on which suitable pharmacophores can be designed to construct novel drugs. Indoles are amongst the most essential class of heteroaromatics in medicinal chemistry, which are ubiquitous across natural sources. The aforesaid derivatives have become invaluable scaffolds because of their wide spectrum therapeutic applications. Therefore, many researchers are focused on the design and synthesis of indole and associated hybrids of biological relevance. Hence, in the present review, we concisely discuss the indole containing natural sources, marketed drugs, clinical candidates, and their biological activities like antibacterial, antifungal, anti-TB, antiviral, antimalarial, and anti-leishmanial activities. The structure-activity relationships study of indole derivatives is also presented for a better understanding of the identified structures. The literature data presented for the anti-infective agents herein covers largely for the last twelve years.

Abstract
We here report the synthesis, structural characterization, and evaluation of the antiviral and antitubercular activities of a novel series of hybrid spirothiazolidinone derivatives (2a-f and 3a-f) containing the nicotinohydrazide moiety, which is an isomer form of the approved antitubercular drug isoniazid. When evaluated for activity against influenza A/H1N1, A/H3N2, and B viruses, three of the new compounds proved to possess specific antiviral activity against the influenza A/H3N2 virus. The most active analog 3a, bearing a 2,8-dimethyl group at the spiro ring, displayed an antiviral EC50 value of 5.2 µM. Compound 3a produced no cytotoxicity at 100 µM, the highest concentration tested, giving a selectivity index of at least 19. Structure-activity relationship analysis indicated that the absence of the methyl substituent at the 2-position and the presence of a bulky substituent at the 8-position of the spirothiazolidinone system caused a significant decrease in antiviral activity. The in vitro antitubercular activity of compounds 2a-f and 3a-f was determined for six different drug-sensitive/drug-resistant laboratory strains and clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Compounds 2c, 2d, 3b, 3c, and 3d showed weak antitubercular activity against different strains, with MIC values of 125-250 μM.

Abstract
Indole derivatives from various plants are known to have health benefits because of their anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tubercular effects. However, their effects on adipogenesis have not been fully elucidated yet. Herein, we show that a newly synthesized indole derivative, CF3-allylated indole, [(E)-1-(pyrimidin- 2-yl)-2-(4,4,4- trifluorobut-2-enyl)-1H-indole], effectively inhibits adipogenesis. We found that CF3-allylated indole inhibited lipid accumulation and suppressed the expression of CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein α (C/EBPα) and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (PPARγ) in 3T3-L1 cells. The inhibitory effect of CF3-allylated indole primarily occurred at the early phase of adipocyte differentiation by increasing intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels and enhancing protein kinase A (PKA) and adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling. Conversely, depletion of PKA or treatment with a protein kinase A inhibitor (H89) reversed such inhibitory effects of CF3-allylated indole on adipogenesis and PPARγ expression. These results suggest that CF3-allylated indole inhibits early stages of adipogenesis by increasing phosphorylation of PKA/AMPK, leading to decreased expression of adipogenic genes in 3T3-L1 cells. These results indicate that CF3-allylated indole has potential for controlling initial adipocyte differentiation in metabolic disorders such as obesity.

Abstract
In this study, a new series of indole-5-carbaldehyde hydrazone derivative compounds were designed, synthesized, and their antimicrobial activities were determined by the microdilution method, and the in vitro cytotoxic effects on Beas-2b cell lines were investigated by MTT assay. When the activity results were examined, 5i12 showed promising activity against E. faecalis with MIC: 2 µg/mL compared to ampicillin, gentamicin, and vancomycin, although the antimicrobial activities of the indole derivatives were generally weaker than those of the standard drugs. Compounds showed no cytotoxic activity on the A549, MCF-7, and Beas-2b cell lines. Molecular docking studies were performed on 15 different proteins to understand the mechanism of 5i12's good antimicrobial action against E. faecalis, and it was concluded that the compounds interacted with FabH, not enough other protein structures. Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate the protein-ligand stability of the most active compound against E. faecalis. The RMSD value of 5i12 varied between 0.02 and 0.16 nm during the MD simulation. The apoprotein peaked at 0.55 nm at the beginning of the simulation and stabilized below 0.5 nm. The theoretical ADME profiles of all compounds were calculated and found to comply with Lipinski and other limiting rules. In addition, some theoretical quantum parameters (HOMO-LUMO) of compounds, and both MEP analysis and geometric optimization analysis for 5i12 were calculated using the 6-311 G (d,p) base set and DFT/B3LYP theory, and the results were visualized.

Abstract
A convenient, metal-free, and organic acid-base promoted synthetic method to prepare 3-arylindoles from 3-aryloxirane-2-carbonitriles and arylhydrazine hydrochlorides has been developed. In the reaction, the organic acid catalyzes a tandem nucleophilic ring-opening reaction of aryloxiranecarbonitriles and arylhydrazine hydrochlorides and Fischer indolization. The organic base triethylamine plays a crucial role in the final elimination step in the Fischer indole synthesis, affording 3-arylindoles regiospecifically. The reaction features advantages of microwave acceleration, non-metal participation, short reaction time, organic acid-base co-catalysis, and broad substrate scope.

Their free radical scavenging activity and antibacterial potential were also evaluated. Many derivatives have shown a marked free radical scavenging capacity in all the concentrations but specifically compounds 4b7, 4b8 and 4b11 have shown good antioxidant potential with an IC50 value of 25.18 μmol/L, 28.09 μmol/L ---amp--- 44.22 μmol/L, respectively (DPPH method) and 39.46 μmol/L, 44.47 μmol/L ---amp--- 35.61 μmol/L, respectively (H2O2 method). The antibacterial evaluation was carried out against B. subtilis and E. coli by agar well diffusion method and it revealed that all the compounds in the series were having marked antibacterial activity but compounds 4b9 and 4b11 have shown best antibacterial potential. Then, it was concluded that the derivatives which were containing substituted anilines (4-Nitro, 4-Fluoro, 4-Bromo ---amp--- 4-Chloro-2-nitro) on the carbon attached on the 12th position of indoloquinazoline moiety were having marked potential as an antibacterial and free radical scavenger.
