Abstract

Abstract The heterocyclic indole is one of the most prevalent pharmacophores in nature. It has been a highly privileged scaffold for designing targeted and anticancer therapeutics. Countless fused heterocyclic templates have been developed with diverse physicochemical and biological properties. Due to their versatile ethanobotanical and pharmacological values, indole and its derivatives seek high demand in the chemical and healthcare sectors. Extensive anticancer research has been conducted in this decade to evaluate their efficacy for diverse malignancies. The chapter explores the anticancer activity of natural and synthetic indole derivatives expressed through targeting different biological receptors and enzymes.
