About

Isatin is an indole (an aromatic heterocyclic organic compound) derivative. Isatin has a lactam (a cyclic amide) structure. Cyclic ester structures are active nucleuses in pharmacological activity and flavorings. They are used as intermediates for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, herbicides, certain pigments and other chemical compounds.
