NOVEL INDOLE DERIVATIVES AS A PROMISING SCAFFOLD FOR THE DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT OF POTENTIAL BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES: AN OVERVIEW
AbstractVarious bioactive aromatic compounds containing the indole nucleus showed clinical and biological applications. It has the unique property of mimicking different structures of proteins and binding to enzymes in a reversible manner. Indole scaffold has been found in many of the important synthetic drug molecules which gave a valuable idea for treatment and binds with high affinity to the multiple receptors helpful in developing new useful derivatives. Indole derivatives possess various biological activities, i.e., antiviral, antifungal, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antifertility, anti-HIV, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antitubercular, anticonvulsant, antimalarial, anticholinesterase activities, etc. which created interest among researchers to synthesize a variety of indole derivatives. This review focussed on recent developments of indole derivatives having different pharmacological profiles as well as different perspectives on how this indole moiety as a privileged structure may be exploited in the future.
