Heterocyclic compounds play important roles in biological processes as they are found in many essential molecules such as nucleic acids, vitamins, hormones, and enzymes. They often exhibit diverse pharmacological activities and are commonly used as the core structures in drug design and development. Additionally, heterocyclic compounds are involved in various metabolic pathways within living organisms.

The benefits of heterocyclic compounds are that the molecules form cycles that bond. Heterocyclic compounds are a common ingredient in medications or drugs.

A benzazepine is any of the class of heterocyclic compounds consisting of a benzene ring fused to an azepine ring.
A single ring of carbon and nitrogen atoms is characteristic of heterocyclic compounds, such as pyrrole or pyridine. These molecules often exhibit unique chemical and biological properties due to the presence of nitrogen in the ring structure.
