Herein, we report a one-pot greener methodology for the synthesis of 3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-phenyl-1H-benzo[f]indole-4,9-dione derivatives by the multicomponent reaction of arylglyoxal monohydrate, 2-amino-1,4-naphthoquinone, and indole in acetonitrile medium under reflux conditions in the presence of 10 mol% sulfamic acid as a catalyst in 20-30 min of reaction time. Three new bonds have formed (2 C-C, 1 C-N) in this methodology. Bioactive moieties such as indole, pyrrole and naphthoquinone are present in our product.

The role of gut bacteria in human health has long been acknowledged and dysbiosis of the gut microbiota has been correlated with a variety of disorders. Synthetic biology has rapidly grown over the past few years offering a variety of biological applications such as harnessing the relationship between bacteria and human health. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are thought to be appropriate chassis organisms for genetic modification with potential biomedical applications.

Background: Cholera can result in the expulsion of important microbiota from the gut and result in death if left untreated. The disease transmits mainly via drinking water carrying Vibrio cholerae; and household contacts (HHC) of cholera patients are at elevated risk during the first week of infection. The gut microbiota profiles of HHC-children of cholera patients at Dhaka city slums were investigated before (day 0) and after (day 8) delivery of chlorinated water as part of the major study 'CHoBI7 trial (cholera-hospital-based intervention for 7 days)'.
