Indazole and Indole Intermediates for Medicinal Chemistry

Indazole and indole derivatives are widely used in medicinal chemistry programs. Their nitrogen-containing rings and substitution patterns make them valuable scaffolds for API development.

Why these scaffolds matter

These scaffolds are used in oncology APIs such as Axitinib, Pazopanib and Niraparib, and serotonin/triptan APIs such as Sumatriptan and Rizatriptan.

Representative building blocks

  • 4-Methyl-1H-indazol-5-amine (CAS 101257-89-0): aminomethylindazole building block
  • 5-Aminoindazole (CAS 19335-11-6): aminoindazole scaffold for medicinal chemistry
  • 5-Iodo-1H-indazole (CAS 55919-82-9): iodinated indazole for cross-coupling

Sourcing notes

Confirm the exact substitution position and CAS number before ordering. Indazole and indole isomers can have very different reactivity and downstream targets.

Frequently asked questions

Are indazole and indole the same scaffold?

No. They are different heterocycles. Indazole has two adjacent nitrogen atoms, while indole has one nitrogen atom in the five-membered ring.

What applications use these intermediates?

Oncology APIs and CNS/neurology chemistry are common application areas.

Can I request a custom substitution?
