Medicinal chemistry of indole derivatives: Current to future therapeutic prospectives.

TL;DR: This review summarizes some of the recent effective chemical synthesis (2014-2018) for indole ring and emphasized on the structure-activity relationship (SAR) to reveal the active pharmacophores of various indole analogues accountable for anticancer, anticonvulsant, antimicrobial, antitubercular, antimalarial, antiviral, antidiabetic and other miscellaneous activities which have been investigated in the last five years.

Indole: A privileged scaffold for the design of anti-cancer agents.

TL;DR: This review aimed to provide a clear knowledge on the recent development of indoles as anti-cancer agents, such as myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1) inhibitors, proviral insertion site in moloney murine leukemia virus (Pim), and made an insight into the corresponding structure-activity relationships (SARs).
Journal ArticleDOI

Indole in the target-based design of anticancer agents: A versatile scaffold with diverse mechanisms.

TL;DR: The present article aims to review the current application of indole core in the design of new anticancer agents that may act via various targets such as histone deacetylases, sirtuins, PIM kinases, DNA topoisomerases and σ receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predictive Model for Site-Selective Aryl and Heteroaryl C-H Functionalization via Organic Photoredox Catalysis.

TL;DR: Using electron density calculations, this work was able to predict the site selectivity of direct C-H functionalization in a number of heterocycles and identify general trends observed across heterocycle classes.
