Carbazoles represent a family of tricyclic compounds that widely appeared in nature. Numerous studies have revealed a diverse array of bioactivity associated with this scaffold. In the present study, a novel and highly efficient methodology for preparing 1,3-dihydroxy-2-carboxycarbazole from indole-3-acetic acid and Meldrum's acid was developed. Furthermore, biological characterization demonstrated that this multisubstituted carbazole analogue exhibited inhibitory activity on Aβ aggregation, ant ...[more]
