Indole, and structures derived from it, are a component of many natural substances, such as the amino acid tryptophan. A new catalytic reaction produces cyclopenta[b]indoles -- frameworks made of ...

A research group at Nagoya University in Japan has successfully developed an ultrafast and simple synthetic method for producing indole derivatives. Their findings are expected to make drug production ...

In a recent study under review at the Scientific Reports journal and currently posted to the Research Square* preprint server, researchers synthesized and evaluated the antitumoral (against several ...

A cost-effective copper-catalyzed reaction enables selective modification at the C5 position of the indole ring, a backbone for pharmaceutical compounds. Indoles, which form the backbone of many ...

Indole, a molecule made up of a six-membered benzene ring fused to a five-membered ring containing nitrogen, forms the core structure of many biologically active compounds. Derivatives of indole, ...

IN attempting to identify trace amounts of metabolites from biological fluids, the use of one of the most powerful tools of organic chemical analysis, infra-red spectroscopy, presents technical ...

A comprehensive review published in Current Pharmaceutical Analysis delves into the anticancer properties and synthesis of heterocyclic natural products. The study examines furan, ...
