Studies on heterocyclic compounds are an evergreen branch of organic chemistry and attract the attention of chemists working not only in the field of natural products but also in synthetic chemistry. Indazole and its derivatives are one of the most vital heterocycles in drug molecules. Diversely substituted indazole derivatives have gained considerable attention in the field of medicinal chemistry due to their versatile biological activities. This mini review aims to abridge the recent (2011-2021 till date) advances in various methods for the synthesis of indazole derivatives. Moreover, the current developments in the biological activities of indazole-based compounds are also presented.
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.
