1-Phenylisatin is a reactant for preparation of indolin-2,3-dione Schiff bases as potential antimycobacterial agents, antipyretic agents, antiproliferative agents, phenylacetamides as anticonvulsant agents and selective Galanin GAL3 receptor antagonists.
1-Phenylisatin is an isatin. It is a potential anticancer, anti-HIV drug. Its binding interaction with a model transport protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been investigated using fluorescence spectroscopic technique. Interactions between human adult hemoglobin (Hb) and 1-phenylisatin has been investigated by steady state and time-resolved fluorescence along with circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopic, FTIR and anisotropy.
