Abstract

Indole is a heterocyclic (bicyclic) molecule, various bioactive indole containing compound showed clinical and biological applications like anticancer, anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiplatelet, anti-tubercular, anti-malarial, antiviral, anti-diabetic and other miscellaneous activities which have been investigated. Indole scaffold found in many drug and it act as a key pharmacophore in synthesizing the most potent biological agents. It's a superb moiety in drug development having the only feature of imitating much protein structure.

Keywords: Indole derivatives, substituted, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antiviral.
