6. BRIEF RESUME OF THE INTENDED WORK

6.1 NEED FOR THE STUDY

A number of organic compounds obtained by chemical synthesis have useful antimicrobial activity for the treatment of local and systemic infections. Pyrazolidinedione derivatives are an important class of heterocyclic compounds because of their wide spectrum of biological activity and clinical applications. The pyrazolidinedione ring system is very useful intermediate/subunit for the development of molecules of pharmaceutical interest. Pyrazolidinedione derivatives have found application in diverse therapeutic area such anti-microbial, analgesic and anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant, anti-hypertensive and anti neoplastic activities.1-8

Substituted indole derivatives posses diverse therapeutic activities such as anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, anticancer, antihistaminic and blood platelet anti aggregation activities. They are inhibitors of Pim 1 which is implicated in the developement of a large no of tumors. They are also useful as anti tubercular agents.9-25

Substituted benzimidazole derivatives have been reported to posses antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anthelmintic, anti-protozoal, antiviral, anti-ulcer and antineoplastic activites.26-40

These findings triggered interest in us to incorporate pyrazolidinediones , indole, and benzimidazole ring systems in one frame work to obtain compounds with better antimicrobial & anti-inflammatory activities.
