Indole is known as a versatile heterocyclic building block for its multiple pharmacological activities and has a high probability of success in the race for drug candidates. Many natural products, alkaloids, and bioactive heterocycles contain indole as the active principle pharmacophore. These encourage the researchers to explore it as a lead in the drug development process. The current manuscript will serve as a torchbearer for understanding the structurally diverse class of indole derivatives with extensive pharmacological activity. The current manuscript describes the intermediates and their functional groups responsible for superior biological activity compared to the standard. The review is written to help researchers to choose leads against their target but also to provide crucial insight into the design of a hybrid pharmacophore-based approach in drug design with enhanced potential. The present reviews on the indole derivatives correlate the structures with biological activities as well as essential pharmacophores, which were highlighted. The discussion was explored under challenging targets like dengue, chikungunya (anti-viral), antihypertensive, diuretic, immunomodulator, CNS stimulant, antihyperlipidemic, antiarrhythmic, anti-Alzheimer's, and neuroprotective, along with anticancer, antitubercular, antimicrobial, anti-HIV, antimalarial, anti-inflammatory, antileishmanial, antianthelmintic, and enzyme inhibitors. So, this review includes a discussion of 19 different pharmacological targets for indole derivatives that could be utilized to derive extensive information needed for ligand-based drug design. The article will guide the researchers in the selection, design of lead and pharmacophore, and ligand-based drug design using indole moiety.
