Resumo

Bisindole analogs 1–17 were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro β-glucuronidase inhibitory potential. Out of seventeen compounds, the analog 1 (IC50 = 1.62 ± 0.04 μM), 6 (IC50 = 1.86 ± 0.05 μM), 10 (IC50 = 2.80 ± 0.29 μM), 9 (IC50 = 3.10 ± 0.28 μM), 14 (IC50 = 4.30 ± 0.08 μM), 2 (IC50 = 18.40 ± 0.09 μM), 19 (IC50 = 19.90 ± 1.05 μM), 4 (IC50 = 20.90 ± 0.62 μM), 7 (IC50 = 21.50 ± 0.77 μM), and 3 (IC50 = 22.30 ± 0.02 μM) showed superior β-glucuronidase inhibitory activity than the standard (d-saccharic acid 1,4-lactone, IC50 = 48.40 ± 1.25 μM). In addition, molecular docking studies were performed to investigate the binding interactions of bisindole derivatives with the enzyme. This study has identified a new class of potent β-glucouronidase inhibitors.
