A recent report from the National Institute of Technology Silchar in Assam, India, explores the versatile nature of indole-containing Schiff bases in biotechnology. The study highlights various methods of synthesizing these compounds, including microwave synthesis and a solvent-free approach called "direct fusion." Indole Schiff bases have shown potential in fields such as antibacterial treatments, cancer therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, antioxidants, and even obesity-related issues. The research concludes that the metal complexes derived from these Schiff bases often exhibit improved qualities, expanding their potential applications. [Extracted from the article]
