There is a great deal of interest in neurotrophin therapy to prevent neuronal degeneration. The present study aimed at synthesizing new functionalized indole derivatives with structures justifying neuroprotective activity using L-tryptophan (TRP) as starting material. The potential neuroprotective effect of
