A series of twenty 3-aminoalkylated indoles was evaluated for their antibacterial activities against both Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria. Compounds 4b and 4r showed good antibacterial activity against both Gram positive and Gram negative strains. However inversing the property of substituent from 4r to 4q resulted in the significant fall in the magnitude of antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli. Keywords 3-Substituted indole one-pot synthesis silver triflate antibacterial agents multicomponent reactions Introduction Antimicrobial resistance continues to grow quickly among key microbial pathogens and has become a severe global problem in recent years. Bacterial resistance to almost all available antibacterial agents has been reported 1 . Because of this many infectious diseases such as HIV infection staphylococcal infection tuberculosis influenza gonorrhea candida infection and malaria are becoming difficult to treat. Thus along with trying to control bacterial resistance there is an urgent need for new potent classes of antibiotics with novel modes of action. The indole scaffold is a prominent and privileged structural motif which is embodied in a myriad of natural products and molecules of pharmaceutical interest in a variety of therapeutic areas 2 3 . They possess a wide spectrum of biological activities such as antibacterial 4 anticonvulsant and antihypertensive .
