Abstract
Carbazole, a natural alkaloid, has been recognized as an effective anticancer agent for over 40 years. However, only a limited number of carbazole-based compounds have received FDA approval for cancer treatment. Current cancer therapies are often associated with significant side effects, causing physical, emotional, and financial burdens for patients. Additionally, despite advancements, cancer prevention and treatment remain challenging due to suboptimal clinical outcomes. The development of new drugs is crucial for achieving safer and more effective cancer therapies. This review focuses on various carbazole derivatives and hybrid composites, highlighting their interactions with distinct receptors and their mechanisms of anticancer action, along with a general structure–activity relationship (SAR). It also emphasizes carbazole-based compounds employed in chemoprevention, which aim to delay or prevent malignant progression. By covering carbazole derivatives and their anticancer potential from 2013 to the present, along with their current clinical status, this study offers valuable insights and updates for researchers in the field.
期刊介绍：
The main aim of the journal is to publish original contributions of scientific work on the role of chirality in chemistry and biochemistry in respect to biological, chemical, materials, pharmacological, spectroscopic and physical properties.
Papers on the chemistry (physiochemical, preparative synthetic, and analytical), physics, pharmacology, clinical pharmacology, toxicology, and other biological aspects of chiral molecules will be published.
