A heterocyclic aromatic organic compound, derivatives are prevalent in a variety of pharmacologically active synthetic and natural compounds. Have antiseptic, antipyretic, and antiperiodic properties and are used as antimalarials and for preparing other antimalarial drugs. Its derivatives are widely used as fungicides, biocides, antibiotics, alkaloids, dyes, rubber chemicals, and flavoring agents. Additional industrial applications include their use as corrosion inhibitors, preservatives, and as solvents for resins and terpenes, and in transition-metal complex catalysis for uniform polymerization and luminescence chemistry. They are also used in manufacturing oil soluble dyes, food colorants, pharmaceuticals, pH indicators and other organic compounds. Is a catabolite of tryptophan, a fundamental structure in some antihypertensive agents such as the peripheral vasodilators prazosin and doxazosin.
