Abstract

We describe the synthesis of novel triazole-incorporated diindolylmethanes (DIMs) using a molecular hybridization approach. The antitubercular activity of the DIMs against H37Ra (ATCC 25177) was tested in the active and dormant state. Among all the synthesized conjugates, the compounds , , , , , , and displayed good antitubercular activity against both the active and dormant H37Ra strain. The compound exhibited good antitubercular activity against dormant H37Ra with an IC value of 1 μg mL and IC (MIC) value of 3 μg mL. The compounds , , and displayed good antitubercular activity against active H37Ra with IC values of 2.19, 1.52, and 0.22 μg mL, respectively. The compounds , , , and displayed more than 70% inhibition against the Gram-positive strain at 3 μg mL. The molecular docking study showed the binding modes of the titled compounds in the active site of the DprE1 enzyme and assisted with elucidating a structural basis for the inhibition of .
