7-Azaindole (Cat No.: R004454) is a heterocyclic aromatic compound consisting of a fused pyrrole and pyridine ring, where a nitrogen atom replaces the carbon at the 7-position of the indole structure. This modification imparts unique electronic and hydrogen-bonding properties, making 7-azaindole a valuable scaffold in medicinal chemistry. It serves as a core structure in the design of kinase inhibitors, antiviral agents, and anticancer compounds. Its ability to mimic purine bases also makes it relevant in drug discovery targeting nucleic acid-associated enzymes and receptors.
