The charge transfer complex formations between indole derivatives and methylviologen were investigated spectroscopically. In aqueous solutions near room temperature, the order of complex stability was tryptamine < tryptophan < indole < indole acetate, which is the reverse order of the magnitude of molar absorptivities. This was interpreted as involvement of contact charge transfer. The decrease of enthalpy of complex formation (-${\Delta}$H) was highest in tryptamine, and lowest in indole acetate. ${\Delta}$H and entropy of complex formation (${Delta}$S) varied nearly in a linear fashion with isokinetic temperature $242^{\circ}$K. These results were attributed to the hydration-dehydration properties of the side chains in indole derivatives. Except indole acetate, the complex formations were greatly enhanced by the addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS). However, the direct relationship between the enhanced complex formation and SDS micelle formation was not found. The enhanced charge transfer interaction inSDS solutions was attributed to the increased ${\Delta}$S by interaction between methylviologen and SDS in premicellar level. The order of complex stability in SDS solutions was indole acetate < tryptophan < trypamine < indole, which reflects the hydrophobicity of indole derivatives as well as electrostatic interaction between indole derivatives and methylviologen associated with SDS.

-4,9-dione derivatives were prepared from $2-chloro-3-({\alpha}-accetyl-{\alpha}-ethoxycarbonyl-methyl)-1,4-naphthoquinone$ and 2-chloro-3-N-phenylamino-1,4-naphthoquinone. $2-Chloro-3-({\alpha}-acetyl-{\alpha}-ethoxycarbonyl-methyl)-1,4-naphthoquinone$ was reacted with amines to give $2-amino-3-({\alpha}-acetyl-{\alpha}-ethoxycarbonyl-methyl)-1,4-naphthoquinone$ derivatives. Subsequent treatment of $2-amino-3-({\alpha}-acetyl-{\alpha}-ethoxycarbonyl-methyl)-1,4-naphthoquinone$ with sodium ethoxide gave -4,9-dione derivatives. When 2-chloro-3-N-phenylamino-1,4-naphthoquinone reacted with sodium ${\alpha}-cyano$ ethyl acetate, 2-amino-3-ethoxycarbonyl-N-phenyl--4,9-dione was obtained. However, with sodium diethyl malonate, not -4,9-dione but 2-chloro-3-bis-(methoxycarbonyl)-methyl-2H-3-N-phenylamino-1,4-naphthoquinone was obtained.

The HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp120 plays a vital role in the entry of the virus into the host cells. The crucial role of the glycoprotein suggests gp120 as potential drug target for the future antiviral therapies. Identification of the binding mode of small drug like compounds has been an important goal in drug design. In the current study we attempt to propose binding mode of indole derivatives in the binding pocket of gp120. These derivatives are reported to inhibit HIV-1 by acting as attachment inhibitors that bind to gp120 and prevent the gp120-CD4 interaction and thus inhibit the infectivity of HIV-1. To elucidate the molecular basis of the small molecules interactions to inhibit the glycoprotein function we employed the molecular docking simulation approach. This study provides insights to elucidate the binding pattern of indole-based gp120 inhibitors and may help in the rational design of novel HIV-1 inhibitors with improved potency.

The new N-aryl-benz[f]-indole-4, 9-dione derivatives were synthesized via in tramolecular cyclization when triethylamine was employed as a base for the reaction of 2-chloro-3-$(\alpha$-cyano-$\alpha$-ethoxycarbonyl-methyl)-1, 4-naphthoquinone and arylamines.

The effect of anionic polyelectrolytes, poly(styrenesulfonate) (PSS) and poly(vinylsulfonate) (PVS), on the charge transfer complexing between indole derivatives and methyl viologen($MV^{++}$) cation was investigated. The results were compared with effect of NaCl and an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS). Both PSS and PVS enhanced the complex formation of neutral species (indole and indole acetate at low pH), zwitter ionic tryptophan, and positively charged tryptamine and tryptophan at low pH with $MV^{++}$. This result was attributed to the contribution of hydrophobic interaction, in addition to electrostatic interaction. The enhancing effect of PSS was much higher than that of PVS reflecting the higher hydrophobicity of PSS. The interaction between indole acetate anion and $MV^{++}$ was greatly reduced by addition of PVS and PSS. The higher charge density of PVS was appeared as greater reducing effect indicating the importance of electrostatic force in this case. In all cases, the effect of polyelectrolytes showed maxima, and further addition of PVS and PSS decreased the effect. This behavior was explained in terms of distribution of indole derivatives and $MV^{++}$ in domain of polyanions. The complex formation constants and molar absorptivities of complexes were determined, and the values were compared with those in water and SDS solutions.

A series of 3-(substituted-benylidene)-1, 3-dihydro- indolin-2-one, 3-(substituted-benylidene)-1, 3-dihydro- indolin-2-thione and 2, 2'-dithiobis 3-(substituted-benylidene)-1, 3-dihydro-indole derivatives was investigated as inhibitor of $p60^{c-Src}$tyrosine kinase by performing receptor docking studies and inhibitory activity toward tyrosine phosphorylation. Some compounds were shown to be docked at the site, where the selective inhibitor PP1 [1-tert-Butyl-3-p-tolyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4-yl-amine] was embedded at the enzyme active site. Evaluation of all compounds for the interactions with the parameters of lowest binding energy levels, capability of hydrogen bond formations and superimposibility on enzyme active site by docking studies, it can be assumed that 3-(substituted-benzylidene)-1, 3-dihydro-indolin-2-one and thione derivatives have better interaction with enzyme active site then 2, 2'-dithiobis 3-(substituted-benzylidene)-1, 3-dihydro indole derivatives. The test results for the inhibitory activity against tyrosine kinase by Elisa method revealed that 3-(substituted-benylidene)-1, 3-dihydro- indolin-2-thione derivatives have more activity then 3-(substituted-benylidene)-1, 3-dihydro- indolin-2-one derivatives.

The reaction of 1,3,5-triketones and arylhydrazines provided indolylpyrazole derivatives in a one-pot reaction in good to moderate yields. Both the pyrazole and indole rings were constructed simultaneously with phenylhydrazine, $RCOCH_2CO$- moiety for the pyrazole and the remaining -$CH_2COR$ part for the indole ring.

The 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone was reacted with diethyl methylmalonate and sodium amide in the toluene to yield 3-chloro-2-(1-methyl-1-diethoxycarbonyl)-methyl-1,4-naphthoq uinone(I). When this compound I was reacted with some alkylamines (methylamine, ethylamine, ethanolamine, 2-bromoethylamine, propylamine, isopropylamine, cyclohexylamine, benzylamine, 4-piperidylmethylamine), 3-methyl-2,3-dihydrobenz(f)indole-2,4,9-trione derivatives(IIa-i) were obtained via intramolecular cyclization.
