Application
1H-Pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-4-carboxylic acid (7-Azaindole-4-carboxylic acid, CAS 479553-01-0) is a privileged purine bioisostere widely used in medicinal chemistry. Its rigid, hydrogen-bond-capable 7-azaindole core enhances target binding affinity for kinase ATP pockets. The carboxylic acid at the 4-position enables facile amide, ester, and hydroxamate formation for rapid structure-activity relationship studies. This scaffold is a key pharmaceutical intermediate for synthesizing potent inhibitors of FGFR, PI3K, CDK, and EGFR families for targeted cancer therapy. It is also employed in the development of antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory agents. The compound's high metabolic stability and binding selectivity make it valuable for fragment-based drug discovery and GMP synthesis. High purity ensures reproducible results in high-throughput screening.
