Plant diseases seriously endanger plant health, and it is very difficult to control them. A series of nortopsentin analogues were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their antiviral activities and fungicidal activities. Most of these compounds displayed higher antiviral activities than ribavirin. Compounds 1d, 1e, and 12a, with excellent antiviral activities, emerged as novel antiviral lead compounds, among which 1e was selected for further antiviral mechanism research. The mechanism research results indicated that these compounds may play an antiviral role by aggregating viral particles to prevent their movement in plants. Further fungicidal activity tests revealed that nortopsentin analogues displayed broad-spectrum fungicidal activities. Compounds 2p and 2f displayed higher antifungal activities against Alternaria solani than the commercial fungicides carbendazim and chlorothalonil. Current research has laid a foundation for the application of nortopsentin analogues in plant protection.

2,4-Bis(3'-indolyl)thiazoles, 3,5-bis(3'-indolyl)-2(1H)pyrazinone and 3,6-bis(3'-indolyl)pyrazine were synthesized and evaluated for cytotoxic activity against diverse human cancer cell lines by the National Cancer Institute. These compounds demonstrated significant inhibitory effects in the growth of a range of cancer cell lines. 2,4-Bis(3'-indolyl)thiazole displayed selective cytotoxicity against certain leukemia cell lines with GI50 values in the low micromolar range while the substituted derivatives showed a broad spectrum of cytotoxic activity. 3,5-Bis(3'-indolyl)-2(1H)pyrazinone and 3,6- bis[3'-(N-methyl-indolyl)]pyrazine possessed strong inhibitory activity against a wide range of human tumor cell lines. The mechanism of action remained unknown. The results suggested that 2,4-bis(3'-indolyl)thiazoles, 3,5-bis(3'-indolyl)-2(1H)pyrazinone and 3,6-bis[3'-(N-methyl-indolyl)] pyrazine offer potential as lead compounds for the discovery of anticancer agents.
