“…It can be found in many secondary metabolites in living organisms, and exits also in many bio-active compounds ( Fig. 1) with broaden biological activities, [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] especially using for anticancer, [15][16][17][18] anti-HIV, 19,20 and treating acid-related disorder, 21 and also using for the inhibitors of topoisomerase 1, 22 anhydrase II, 23 mutated B-Raf, 24,25 cyclooxygenase-2. 26,27 Particularly, compounds containing thioether, sulfone or sulfoxide moieties could exhibit signicantly anti-bacterial, [28][29][30][31][32] anti-fungal, 33,34 herbicidal 35 and insecticidal 36,37 activities for crop protection.…”
Novel trifluoromethylpyridine amide derivatives containing sulfur moieties were synthesized, which exhibited good antibacterial and insecticidal activities for potential crop protection agents.

“…Indoles and benzimidazole are gaining attention because of their anti-tumour and anti-estrogenic effects. Karadayi and associates 126 in 2020 reported novel indole-benzimidazole derivatives. They synthesised a set of indole-benzimidazoles having benzene sulfonyl structure and evaluated to assess their anti-proliferative activity.…”
“…When R 1 as p‐fluorobenzyl and R 2 as bromo, the lead compound showed potent anticancer effects and moderate structural affinity to ER. Compounds 21 and 22 (Figure 8) can modulate ER target gene expression in a dose‐dependent manner as compared to tivozanib (standard drug) [44] …”
Indole moiety is a magnificent nucleus in the development of anticancer drugs. The pharmacological profile of indole is excellent in targeting a wide range of proteins, enzymes. An indole has a nitrogen atom that is capable of forming hydrogen bonds with the targets emphasizing its potential. Many studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of indole in the treatment of cancer by working through various pathways. Indole-based drugs got market approval to be used as chemotherapeutics, such as vincristine and vinblastine which encourage researchers to work on indole derivatives for cancer treatment with a better pharmacokinetic profile. This prompted us to review on indole derivatives as anticancer agents to bring out their potential derivatives under study. This study encompasses literature published between 2014 and 2021 on indole scaffold that exhibits in vitro and in vivo potential against cancer by searching PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct databases. The search terms were "anticancer", "indole", "cell lines", "structure-activity relationship" and "cytotoxic activity."[a] A.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
