Indole hybridized diazenyl derivatives: Synthesis, antimicrobial activity, cytotoxicity evaluation and docking studies

In search of effective antimicrobial and cytotoxic agents, a series of indole hybridized diazenyl derivatives (DS-1 to DS-21) was efciently prepared by condensation of diazotized p-aminoacetophenone with indole or nitroindole followed by reaction with different aromatic/heteroaromatic amines of biological significance.
