Abstract
Abstract:
Heterocyclic compounds containing nitrogen have emerged as crucial entities in the realm
of medicinal chemistry. Among these, Schiff bases derived from indole or compounds incorporating
an indole moiety have demonstrated a wide range of biological properties, including antibacterial,
anticancer, antitumor and antimicrobial activities. The diverse characteristics exhibited by Schiff
bases have stimulated the exploration of their antimicrobial potential, with the aim of developing
more effective drugs to save precious lives. This review article focuses on the synthesis of various
Schiff bases derived from the indole moiety and their antimicrobial activities. The extensive body of
work in synthesizing these Schiff bases and evaluating their antimicrobial properties is comprehensively
discussed. The insights provided in this review can serve as a valuable resource for researchers
engaged in the development of efficient drugs.
