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.

Isoquinoline is a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound that has significant biological importance due to its presence in various natural products and pharmacologically active compounds. It serves as a structural backbone for numerous alkaloids, which exhibit a wide range of biological activities, including antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. Isoquinoline derivatives are also involved in important physiological processes and have potential therapeutic applications, making them valuable in drug discovery and development.
A benzazepine is any of the class of heterocyclic compounds consisting of a benzene ring fused to an azepine ring.
