Current Developments in the Pharmacological Activities and Synthesis of Carbazole Derivatives.

Abstract

The growing prevalence of multidrug resistance and its detrimental effects pose a significant threat to public health, which is one reason for the current interest in the introduction of novel agents. To combat this adverse effect and drug resistance, numerous drugs have been developed over time, and their safety is still being evaluated; derivatives or medications based on the carbazole moiety are one of the key contributors. Therefore, this review explores carbazole-based derivatives as possible drugs to treat Alzheimer's, diabetes, inflammation, cancer, and many more, along with their synthetic schemes, SARs, and activity. Some of the carbazole-based drugs available in the market and under clinical trials are also tabulated. By integrating this insight, describe how these compounds are being reinvented as targeted therapeutic agents. This comprehensive analysis is designed to guide researchers in developing next-generation drugs to address various challenges and leverage the unique pharmacological properties of carbazole-derived drugs.
