It possesses a lot of pharmacological properties, such as antioxidant, anti-cancerous, antimicrobial, antiviral, etc. It is an aromatic plant having a sweet and sour smell and is used as a herb. In different plant species, essential oils present in the leaves and other parts give them their unique smell and fragrance. Many phytochemicals have been isolated from this plant, like alkaloids, triterpenes, cardenolides, flavonoids, and bufadienolides, as well as lipids, steroids, and glycosides from various extracts. Among them, only some compounds have medicinal properties. In this review, we have analyzed the ADME properties of the phytochemicals present in the plant to identify which chemical can act as a drug candidate using the SwissADME server.\u0000","PeriodicalId":7951,"journal":{"name":"Anti-Infective Agents","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43193979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, antibiotic resistance has become a major concern to public health across the globe. Carbazole derivatives are present in carbazomycins, an unprecedented class of antibiotics showing potential antibacterial activities. As reported in the literature, carbazole derivatives also possess significant antimicrobial activities against bacterial resistance, such as Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The antimicrobial profile of carbazole derivatives has been achieved through various bacterial pathways. Carbazole hybrids based on the multi-target direct ligand (MTDL) approach were also extensively studied as they exhibited significant antibacterial activities. This article reviews antimicrobial potential, docking analysis, and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of carbazole and its derivatives against tested bacterial strains from 2014 to 2022. This review can also be helpful for investigators in the design and development of new molecules based on carbazole structure against various resistant bacterial infections.\u0000","PeriodicalId":7951,"journal":{"name":"Anti-Infective Agents","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46299444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
