Heterocyclic compounds refer to a defining class of organic compounds with
vast biological applications. Heterocyclic compounds are of great significance to life
for the reason that they are abundantly present in nature, such as in the form of
antibiotics, hormones, vitamins, and many more. Among heterocyclic compounds,
nitrogen-based heterocycles are of special biological use because of their boundless
medicinal and biological applications. Carbazoles are one of several nitrogen-based,
biologically active heterocyclic compounds with the chemical formula C12H9N.
Carbazole moiety has diverse pharmaceutical applications, which have attracted the
interest of chemists as well as biologists to study more about these chemical
compounds. This chapter compiles the synthesis of a variety of carbazole-derived
compounds and their anti-inflammatory applications.
Keywords: Anti-inflammatory agents, Biological activity, Carbazoles, Drug discovery, Heterocycles, Heterocyclic compounds, Inflammation, Medicinal chemistry, Pharmaceuticals.
