Abstract
Since the first natural carbazole alkaloid, murrayanine, was isolated from Mwraya Spreng, carbazole alkaloid derivatives have been widely concerned for their anti-tumor, anti-viral and anti-bacterial activities. In recent decades, a growing body of data suggest that carbazole alkaloids and their derivatives have different biological activities. This is the first comprehensive description of the antifungal and antibacterial activities of carbazole alkaloids in the past decade (2012-2022), including natural and partially synthesized carbazole alkaloids in the past decade. Finally, the challenges and problems faced by this kind of alkaloids are summarized. This paper will be helpful for further exploration of this kind of alkaloids.

Abstract
Herein, a new series of N-substituted 1,2,3-triazolylmethyl indole derivatives 4(a-u) was synthesized by rationally incorporating a pharmacophoric active heterocyclic ring containing indole and triazole moieties in one molecular frame via the conventional and microwave irradiation methods. Briefly, the new compounds 4(a-u) were synthesized via the N-alkylation of tetrahydro-1H-carbazoles followed by click reaction and copper-catalyzed Huisgen [3 + 2] cycloaddition in the presence of copper sulphate and sodium ascorbate with various aromatic azides 3(a-m). All the newly synthesized compounds were characterized via 1H and 13C NMR, mass, and IR spectroscopy and evaluated for their antimicrobial, antioxidant and anticancer activities. Among the synthesized compounds, 4d, 4j, 4n, 4p, 4s and 4r were found to exhibit good antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer activities. The biological activity of the synthesized compounds was further supplemented by molecular docking studies against the target receptors caspase-3 and 17-beta-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase type 1, revealing that the reported structures best fit into the active site pocket of the target molecules.

Abstract
The need for new chemotherapeutics to overcome development of resistance merits research to discover new agents. Benzocaine derivatives are essential compounds in medicinal chemistry due to their various biological activities including antibacterial and anticancer activities. Therefore, this study focuses on the synthesis of new benzocaine derivatives 3a-e, 6, 7a and 7b, 8, 10-14, and 16a-d and their in vitro evaluation as antibacterial agents against gram +ve and -ve strains and as anticancer agents against HepG-2, HCT-116, and MCF-7 human cancer cell lines. The obtained results demonstrated that thiazolidines 6 and 7b showed higher antibacterial and anticancer activity in comparison with the reference drugs. In addition, 6 and 7b showed high potency as inhibitors toward their biological targets, that is DNA gyrase and human topoisomerase IIα, as compared to the reference standard drugs novobiocin and etoposide, respectively. Molecular docking demonstrated that both compounds could identify the active site of their target enzymes and develop effective binding interactions. Absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination (ADME) and drug-likeness predictions of both compounds showed that they both have good ADME profiles and no structural alerts that might cause toxicity. Based on this, 6 and 7b could serve as lead compounds for the design of more potent antibacterial and anticancer agents.

ACS OMEGA 2022; 7:1150-1164.

Abstract
DNA gyrase B is one of the enzyme targets for antimicrobial drug development, and its absence in mammals makes it a suitable target for the creation of safe antibacterial drugs. We identified six novel hits as DNA gyrase B inhibitors in the present study by employing 3D-pharmacophore structure-based virtual screening. The lead compounds complied with drug-likeness rules and lacked toxicity. Compound 4 (ZINC32858011) showed the highest inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 6.3 ± 0.1 μM against the DNA gyrase enzyme. In contrast, the positive controls ciprofloxacin and novobiocin used in enzyme inhibition assay had IC50 values of 14.4 ± 0.2 and 12.4 ± 0.2 μM, respectively. The molecular docking of the six hits demonstrated that compounds 1, 2, 4, and 6 had suitable fitting modes inside the binding pocket. Molecular dynamics simulations were carried out for the six hits and the rmsd, rmsf, radius of gyration, and solvent accessible surface area parameters obtained from 100 ns molecular dynamics simulations for the six compounds complexed with a DNA gyrase B protein indicated that compound 4 (ZINC32858011) formed the most stable complex with DNA gyrase B. The binding free energy calculation with the MM-PBSA method suggested that the van der Waals interaction, followed by electrostatic force, played a significant role in the binding. Per-residue free binding energy decomposition showed that Ile78 contributed the most for the binding energy followed by Asn46, Asp49, Glu50, Asp73, Ile78, Pro79, Ala86, Ile90, Val120, Thr165, and Val167.
