Tetrahydrocarbazole is a heterocyclic compound featuring a fused structure composed of a five-membered pyrrole ring, a benzene ring, and a cyclohexane ring, making it a partially saturated derivative of carbazole.[1] This molecular framework is commonly found in natural products and serves as a scaffold in medicinal chemistry due to its diverse pharmacological activities, including antimicrobial, anticancer, antipsychotic, and anti-inflammatory properties.[1]
Examples of drugs that contain the tetrahydrocarbazole ring system include ondansetron and ramatroban.
