Biological screening combined with the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds with numerous functions is the most effective approach available for pharmacological assessment of potential future medications. In the under taken research that is presented here, 4-(1H-indol-3-yl)butanoic acid was sequentially converted into 4-(1H-indol-3-yl)butanoate, 4-(1H-indol-3-yl)butanohydrazide, and 5-[3-(1H-indol-3-yl)propyl]-1,2,4-triazole-2-thiol as a nucleophile. By treating aryl amines with 3-bromopropanoyl chloride in a series of parallel reactions, different electrophiles were created, leading to the formation of N-(aryl)-3-bromopropanamides.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a disorder which is raised at the alarming level and it is characterized by the hyperglycemia results from the impaired action of insulin, production of insulin or both of these simultaneously. Consequently, it causes problems or failure of different body organs such as kidneys, heart, eyes, nerve system. Since this disease cannot be completely cured until now, we aimed to design series of enzymes inhibitors and tested them for DM treatment.

A diminutive chemical library of acyl thiotriazinoindole (ATTI) based bioactive scaffolds was synthesized, instigated by taking the economical starting material Isatin, through a series of five steps. Isatin was first nitrated followed by the attachment of pentyl moiety via nucleophilic substitution reaction. The obtained compound was reacted with thiosemicarbazide to obtain thiosemicarbazone derivative, which was eventually cyclized using basic conditions in water as solvent.

The aim of this work was to bring forth some new hybrid molecules having pharmacologically potent indole and 1,3,4-oxadiazole heterocyclic moieties unified with a propanamide entity. The synthetic methodology was initiated by esterification of 2-(1-indol-3-yl)acetic acid () in a catalytic amount of sulfuric acid and ethanol in excess, to form ethyl 2-(1-indol-3-yl)acetate (), which was converted to 2-(1-indol-3-yl)acetohydrazide () and further transformed to 5-(1-indole-3-yl-methyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol (). 3-Bromopropanoyl chloride () was reacted with various amines (-) in aqueous alkaline medium to generate a series of electrophiles, 3-bromo--(substituted)propanamides (-), and these were further reacted with nucleophile in DMF and NaH base to yield the targeted -(substituted)-3-{(5-(1-indol-3-ylmethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)sulfanyl}propanamides (-).
