Indoles hold potential as therapeutic agents due to their diverse biological activities. Several indole derivatives are under investigation for their potential use in pharmacology. For instance, indole-3-acetic acid is a plant hormone with potential applications in cancer treatment, while indomethacin, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), is an indole-based compound. The therapeutic efficacy and safety of indoles depend on their specific chemical structure and the context of their use.
