Hetaryl and aryl derivatives of 3,3'-diindolylmethane as promising components of antimicrobial drugs
Abstract
Resistance to antimicrobial drugs and the emergence of multiresistant bacterial strains is a problem of global importance. Recent studies of 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM) and some of its derivatives proved the feasibility of finding new effective inhibitors for the formation of resistant biofilms by pathogenic microorganisms from the ESKAPE group [1]. In addition, information on the effect of bisindole on the synthesis of nucleic acids can become a prerequisite for a wide spectrum of antimicrobial activity of its derivatives [2].
