Indoles: Role in Diverse Biological Activities
نویسندگان
چکیده
In recent years, indole derivatives have acquired conspicuous significance due to their wide spectrum of biological activities. It is well known fact that the indole nucleus is present as a structural unit in many natural products. Synthesis and biological evaluation of indole derivatives have been a topic of special interest to organic and medicinal chemists. A number of indole derivatives have been reported and widely identified as a privileged structure of pharmacophore with representation in over 3000 natural isolates and are known to possess broad spectrum of biological and pharmaceutical activities.
