Abstract

In this work, novel 5-fluoro-1-methyl/ethyl-1H-indole-2,3-dione 3-[4-(substituted phenyl)-thiosemicarbazones] 6a-n and 7a-n were synthesized. The Antiviral effects of the compounds were tested against HSV-1 (KOS), HSV-2 (G) HSV-1 TK- KOS ACVr and VV in HEL cell cultures using acyclovir and ganciclovir as standards, and Coxsackie B4 virus in Vero cell cultures using ribavirin and mycophenolic acid as standards. R2 ethyl substituted 7 derivatives were found effective against viruses tested. R1 4-CF3 substituted 7d, R1 4-OCH3 substituted 7 g and R1 3-Cl substituted 7 l showed activity against HSV-1 (KOS), HSV-2 (G) HSV-1 TK- KOS ACVr and VV. Whereas only R1 4-Br substituted 7n has selective activity against coxsackie B4 virus. Molecular modelingstudies of 7d and 7l were performed to determine binding side on HSV-1 glycoprotein B and D, HSV-2 glycoprotein B structures.
