The aim of this work was to synthesise derivatives from identified plant based pyridoindole lead scaffold, and to assess phosphodiesterase 5A inhibitory potential by and . Pyridoindole derivatives were synthesised by using six-stage reactor. screening was carried out by grip-based docking methodology. In step-I, tryptophan as a starting material was reacted with different aldehydes and ketones to obtain 11 molecules. In step-II, obtained molecules were reacted with ethanol and benzyl alcohols to obtain D1 to D22 derivatives. investigation resulted in best three molecules D12, D4 and D8 with promising BE score. Oral acute toxicity study of selected molecules resulted in LD50 value 500 mg/kg in rats. The result of antihypertensive study shown that molecule D12 was found to be the best antihypertensive lead molecule. This study could be a best platform to tailor novel biomolecules for inhibiting phosphodiesterase 5A enzyme in hypertension management.

Depression is emerging as the predominant psychiatric disorder globally. Despite the wide availability of antidepressants, up to 30% of patients exhibit poor response to treatment, falling into the category of treatment-resistant depression (TRD). This underscores the need for the exploration of novel therapeutic options.

Despite an accumulating number of studies, treatments for depression are currently insufficient. Therefore, the search for new substances with antidepressant potential is very important. In this study, we hypothesized that treatment with a newly synthesized pyridoindole derivative compound SMe1EC2M3 would result in protective and antidepressant-like effects on behavioral outcomes and reverse the impaired adult hippocampal neurogenesis caused by chronic mild stress (CMS).

A visible light-enabled cascade cyclization strategy is disclosed with concomitant phosphorylation and heterocycle construction. It provides a novel and environmentally benign approach for accessing tetrahydroindolizine-containing phosphonates under metal-free conditions. Mechanistic studies revealed that phosphinoyl radicals were generated from H-phosphonates a HAT process.

Neurotoxicity of chemotherapeutics involves peculiar alterations in the structure and function, including abnormal nerve signal transmission, of both the peripheral and central nervous system. The lack of effective pharmacological approaches to prevent chemotherapy-induced neurotoxicity necessitates the identification of innovative therapies. Recent evidence suggests that repeated treatment with the pentacyclic pyridoindole derivative DDD-028 can exert both pain-relieving and glial modulatory effects in mice with paclitaxel-induced neuropathy.

A new alkaloid named aspergilalkaloid A () with pyridoindole hydroxymethyl piperazine dione structure along with six known compounds were isolated from deep-sea derived fungus sp. HDN20-1401. The structure including absolute configuration was elucidated by extensive NMR analyses, HRESIMS, ECD calculation, and theoretical NMR calculation with DP4+ analysis.
