Why is it important?

This review article highlights promising compounds and synthetic strategies. Other scientist can use it as a roadmap to develop better drugs so instead of reading dozens of paper, readers get a concise overview in one place.

Perspectives

Exploring indole-based compounds has deepened my appreciation for how small structural changes can lead to significant biological impacts. Writing this review allowed me to reflect on the remarkable versatility of the indole scaffold in drug discovery. I hope it inspires further research and innovation in medicinal chemistry, especially in the areas of synthesis and structure–activity relationships.
