Design and Synthesis of 3-Sulfenyl Indole based Antiviral Compounds

Abstract

Sulfenyl indole moieties, in particular, 2 or 3-substituted Sulfenyl indoles are prevalent in diverse natural products, biologically active compounds, and pharmaceuticals, which are required for curing many diseases, such as virology, cancers, HIV, allergies, respiratory disorders, etc. Owing to their prevalence in natural and synthesized functional organic molecules, indoles keep receiving tremendous attention in the research and application of many disciplines such as chemistry, biology, pharmaceuticals. In this context, our main objective is to synthesize derivatives of 3-Substituted Sulfenyl Indole as Anti-Viral compounds (primarily against DENV).
