Indole derivatives have been reported to possess a variety of physiological and pharmacological activities like antibacterial [3], antifungal [4, 5], antioxidant [6], anticancer [7, 8], analgesic [9], antiasthmatic [10], and antiviral [11] and to be effective in treatment of sexual dysfunction [12].

1 Introduction

The emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance havebecome one of the most serious public health concernsacross the world In last few years it was reported that indoleits bioisosteres and derivatives had antimicrobial activityagainst Gram-negative Gram-positive bacteria especiallyagainst Pseudomonas aeruginosa Escherichia coli and Staph-ylococcus epidermidis and the yeast Candida albicans [1]and so forth On the other hand indolyl compounds arevery efficient antioxidants protecting both lipids and pro-teins from peroxidation It is well known that the indolestructure influences the antioxidant efficacy in biologicalsystems [2] Indole derivatives have been reported to possessa variety of physiological and pharmacological activities likeantibacterial [3] antifungal [4 5] antioxidant [6] anticancer[7 8] analgesic [9] antiasthmatic [10] and antiviral [11]and to be effective in treatment of sexual dysfunction [12]An effective anticonvulsant drug 5H-dibenzo[bf]azepine-5-

carboxamide was first synthesized by Schindler [13] in 1960and since then it has become the most frequently pre-scribed first-line drug for the treatment of epilepsy In addi-tion dibenzo[bf]azepine derivatives are useful due to theirantimicrobial [14] antioxidant [15 16] and antitubercular[17] activities

Thiazolidinone a saturated form of thiazole with car-bonyl group on fourth carbon has been considered as amagic moiety (wonder nucleus) because it gives out novelderivatives with different types of biological activities Thisdiversity in the biological response profile has attractedthe attention of many researchers to explore the potentialbiological activity (such as antibacterial [18] antifungal [19]and antioxidant [20 21] activities) of this skeleton

We have reported earlier the synthesis antioxidant andantimicrobial activities of indole analogues containing thia-zolidinone derivatives such as 3-[4-(4-substituted)thiazol-2-yl]-2-(2-phenyl-1H-indol-3-yl)thiazolidin-4-ones (1) [22]

2-(5-substituted-2-phenyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-3-(5-(pyridin-4-yl)-134-oxadiazol-2-yl)thiazolidin-4-ones (2) [23] 2-(5-sub-stituted-2-phenyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-3-(4-phenylthiazol-2-yl)thi-azolidin-4-ones (3) [24] and 256-trimethyl-3-[2-(2-phenyl-5-substituted-1H-indol-3-yl)-4-oxothiazolidin-3-yl]thieno[23-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones (4) [25] (Figure 1) Prompted bythese results we herein report the synthesis of title com-pounds and the evaluation of their antimicrobial and anti-oxidant activities

2 Result and Discussion

Thepathway for the synthesis of title compounds is illustratedin Scheme 1 Cyclocondensation of 5H-dibenzo[bf]azepine-5-carbohydrazide (1) [26] with 5-chloro-2-phenyl-1H-indol-3-carboxaldehyde (2a) [27] gave the intermediate N-[(51015840-chloro-21015840-phenyl-1H-indol-31015840-yl)methylene]-5H-dibenzo[bf]azepine-5-carbohydrazide (3a) Further compound (3a)on refluxing with thioglycolic acid afforded N-[2-(51015840-sub-stituted-21015840-phenyl-1H-indol-31015840-yl)-4-oxothiazolidin-3-yl]-5H-dibenzo[bf]azepine-5-carboxamide (4a) The structures ofall these previously unknown compounds were characterizedby spectral studies and elemental analysis

21 Antimicrobial Activities All the synthesized compounds(3 and 4) were evaluated for their antibacterial activityagainst Escherichia coli (MTCC-723) Staphylococcus aureus(ATCC-29513) Klebsiella pneumoniae (NCTC-13368) andPseudomonas aeruginosa (MTCC-1688) and antifungal activ-ity against Aspergillus niger (MTCC-281) Aspergillus oryzae(MTCC-3567T)Aspergillus terreus (MTCC-1782) andAsper-gillus flavus (MTCC-1973) by cup-plate method [28] Thezone of inhibition (in mm) was compared with the inhibi-tion zones obtained using streptomycin and fluconazole as

positive controls for antibacterial and antifungal activitiesrespectively The results are tabulated in Tables 1 and 2

Antibacterial screening revealed that compound 4a hav-ing chloro substitution at C-5 position of indole and diben-zo[bf]azepine ring along with thiazolidine system showedthemaximum inhibition against S aureusK pneumonia andP aeruginosa at all concentrations Compound 3a exhibitedmaximum inhibition against K pneumoniae due to the pres-ence of chloro substitution at C-5 position whereas com-pounds 3b and 4b showed maximum inhibition against Saureus and E coli respectively

Antifungal activity assay revealed that the compounds 3aand 4a exhibited maximum inhibition against A niger Aoryzae andA flavusThis enhanced activity of 3a and 4amaybe due to the presence of chloro substitution atC-5 position ofindole ring Also compound 4a showed good activity againstA terreus Compound 3b exhibited higher activity againstA niger A oryzae and A flavus at all concentrations Asdeduced from above stated results in general the presenceof the chloro or methyl substitution at C-5 position ofindole enhanced the activity of the compounds Differencesin standard deviation were calculated by means of ANOVAs(Tukey) using GraphPad instat software

22 Antioxidant Activities

221 11-Diphenyl-2-picryl Hydrazyl (DPPH) Radical Scaveng-ing Activity (RSA) Antioxidants are intimately involved inthe prevention of cellular damage cancer aging and a varietyof diseases DPPH is stable free radical that can accept anelectron or hydrogen atom and its stability originates fromdelocalization of the unpaired electron over the molecule

Free radicals are highly reactive species with one ormore unpaired electrons in their last orbital Reactive oxy-gen species (ROS) important in biological systems include

The RSA results revealed that the compound 4a showedhighest activity (7663) whereas the compounds 3a 3band 3c exhibited good RSA (7550 7011 and 6685) at100 120583gmL concentration Differences in standard deviationwere estimated by means of ANOVAs (Tukey) using Graph-Pad instat software and MS-Excel

222 Ferric Ions (Fe3+) Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP)Ferric ion (Fe3+) is relatively biologically inactive form ofiron However it can be reduced to the active Fe2+ dependingon the condition particularly pH [31] and oxidized backthrough Fenton-type reaction [32] with the production ofhydroxyl radical or Haber-Weiss reaction with the generationof superoxide anions Reducing power is to measure thereductive ability of an antioxidant and it is evaluated by thetransformation of Fe3+ to Fe2+ by donation of an electron inthe presence of test compoundsTherefore the concentrationof Fe2+ can bemonitored bymeasuring the formation of PerlrsquosPrussian blue at 700 nm (Figure 3)

2-(5-substituted-2-phenyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-3-(5-(pyridin-4-yl)-134-oxadiazol-2-yl)thiazolidin-4-ones (2) [23] 2-(5-sub-stituted-2-phenyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-3-(4-phenylthiazol-2-yl)thi-azolidin-4-ones (3) [24] and 256-trimethyl-3-[2-(2-phenyl-5-substituted-1H-indol-3-yl)-4-oxothiazolidin-3-yl]thieno[23-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones (4) [25] (Figure 1) Prompted bythese results we herein report the synthesis of title com-pounds and the evaluation of their antimicrobial and anti-oxidant activities

2 Result and Discussion

Thepathway for the synthesis of title compounds is illustratedin Scheme 1 Cyclocondensation of 5H-dibenzo[bf]azepine-5-carbohydrazide (1) [26] with 5-chloro-2-phenyl-1H-indol-3-carboxaldehyde (2a) [27] gave the intermediate N-[(51015840-chloro-21015840-phenyl-1H-indol-31015840-yl)methylene]-5H-dibenzo[bf]azepine-5-carbohydrazide (3a) Further compound (3a)on refluxing with thioglycolic acid afforded N-[2-(51015840-sub-stituted-21015840-phenyl-1H-indol-31015840-yl)-4-oxothiazolidin-3-yl]-5H-dibenzo[bf]azepine-5-carboxamide (4a) The structures ofall these previously unknown compounds were characterizedby spectral studies and elemental analysis

21 Antimicrobial Activities All the synthesized compounds(3 and 4) were evaluated for their antibacterial activityagainst Escherichia coli (MTCC-723) Staphylococcus aureus(ATCC-29513) Klebsiella pneumoniae (NCTC-13368) andPseudomonas aeruginosa (MTCC-1688) and antifungal activ-ity against Aspergillus niger (MTCC-281) Aspergillus oryzae(MTCC-3567T)Aspergillus terreus (MTCC-1782) andAsper-gillus flavus (MTCC-1973) by cup-plate method [28] Thezone of inhibition (in mm) was compared with the inhibi-tion zones obtained using streptomycin and fluconazole as

positive controls for antibacterial and antifungal activitiesrespectively The results are tabulated in Tables 1 and 2

Antibacterial screening revealed that compound 4a hav-ing chloro substitution at C-5 position of indole and diben-zo[bf]azepine ring along with thiazolidine system showedthemaximum inhibition against S aureusK pneumonia andP aeruginosa at all concentrations Compound 3a exhibitedmaximum inhibition against K pneumoniae due to the pres-ence of chloro substitution at C-5 position whereas com-pounds 3b and 4b showed maximum inhibition against Saureus and E coli respectively

Antifungal activity assay revealed that the compounds 3aand 4a exhibited maximum inhibition against A niger Aoryzae andA flavusThis enhanced activity of 3a and 4amaybe due to the presence of chloro substitution atC-5 position ofindole ring Also compound 4a showed good activity againstA terreus Compound 3b exhibited higher activity againstA niger A oryzae and A flavus at all concentrations Asdeduced from above stated results in general the presenceof the chloro or methyl substitution at C-5 position ofindole enhanced the activity of the compounds Differencesin standard deviation were calculated by means of ANOVAs(Tukey) using GraphPad instat software

22 Antioxidant Activities

221 11-Diphenyl-2-picryl Hydrazyl (DPPH) Radical Scaveng-ing Activity (RSA) Antioxidants are intimately involved inthe prevention of cellular damage cancer aging and a varietyof diseases DPPH is stable free radical that can accept anelectron or hydrogen atom and its stability originates fromdelocalization of the unpaired electron over the molecule

Free radicals are highly reactive species with one ormore unpaired electrons in their last orbital Reactive oxy-gen species (ROS) important in biological systems include

are highly reactive radicals which can start a chain reactionTheir primary danger comes from the damage they can dowhen they react with important components such as DNARNA or the cell membrane [29] Investigation of the RSA ofthe test compounds was conducted as described by Hatanoand colleagues [30] and results were compared with theresults obtainedusing standards 2-tert-butyl-4-methoxy phe-nol (butylated hydroxyl anisole BHA) 2-(11-dimethylethyl)-1 4-benzenediol (tertiary butylated hydroquinone TBHQ)and ascorbic acid (AA) (Figure 2)

The RSA results revealed that the compound 4a showedhighest activity (7663) whereas the compounds 3a 3band 3c exhibited good RSA (7550 7011 and 6685) at100 120583gmL concentration Differences in standard deviationwere estimated by means of ANOVAs (Tukey) using Graph-Pad instat software and MS-Excel

222 Ferric Ions (Fe3+) Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP)Ferric ion (Fe3+) is relatively biologically inactive form ofiron However it can be reduced to the active Fe2+ dependingon the condition particularly pH [31] and oxidized backthrough Fenton-type reaction [32] with the production ofhydroxyl radical or Haber-Weiss reaction with the generationof superoxide anions Reducing power is to measure thereductive ability of an antioxidant and it is evaluated by thetransformation of Fe3+ to Fe2+ by donation of an electron inthe presence of test compoundsTherefore the concentrationof Fe2+ can bemonitored bymeasuring the formation of PerlrsquosPrussian blue at 700 nm (Figure 3)

The RSA results revealed that the compound 4a showedhighest activity (7663) whereas the compounds 3a 3band 3c exhibited good RSA (7550 7011 and 6685) at100 120583gmL concentration Differences in standard deviationwere estimated by means of ANOVAs (Tukey) using Graph-Pad instat software and MS-Excel

222 Ferric Ions (Fe3+) Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP)Ferric ion (Fe3+) is relatively biologically inactive form ofiron However it can be reduced to the active Fe2+ dependingon the condition particularly pH [31] and oxidized backthrough Fenton-type reaction [32] with the production ofhydroxyl radical or Haber-Weiss reaction with the generationof superoxide anions Reducing power is to measure thereductive ability of an antioxidant and it is evaluated by thetransformation of Fe3+ to Fe2+ by donation of an electron inthe presence of test compoundsTherefore the concentrationof Fe2+ can bemonitored bymeasuring the formation of PerlrsquosPrussian blue at 700 nm (Figure 3)

522 Ferric Ions (Fe3+) Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP)The reducing power of the synthesized compounds (3 and 4)was determined according to the Oyaizu method [33] Dif-ferent concentrations of samples (25 50 75 and 100 120583gmL)in DMSO (1mL) were mixed with phosphate buffer (25mL02M pH 66) and potassium ferricyanide (25mL 1 wv)The mixture was incubated at 50∘C for 20min A portionof trichloroacetic acid (25mL 10wv) was then added tothe mixture and the mixture was centrifuged for 10min at1000timesgThe upper layer of solution (25mL) was mixed withdistilled water (25mL) and ferric chloride (05mL 01 wv)Absorbance at 700 nm was then measured in spectropho-tometer Higher absorbance of the reactionmixture indicatedgreater reducing power The results are shown in Figure 3

523 Ferrous Ions (Fe2+) Metal Chelating Activity The fer-rous ion chelating activities of synthesized compounds (3 and4) and standards were estimated using the method reportedby Dinis and colleagues [37] The test samples (25 50 75and 100 120583gmL) in ethanol (04mL) were added to ferrouschloride (005mL 2mM) prepared in ethanol The reactionwas initiated by the addition of ferrozine (02mL 5mM)and the volume was adjusted to 35mL with ethanol and05mL water so as to make the final total volume 40mLFerrozine reacts with the divalent iron to form stablemagentacomplex species that were very soluble in water The mixturewas shaken vigorously and kept at room temperature for10min Then the absorbance of the solution was measuredspectrophotometrically at 562 nm All analyses were run inthree triplicates and results are reported as the averagesof three replicates The results are shown in Figure 4 Thepercent inhibition of the ferrozine-Fe2+ complex formationwas calculated using the formula
