Abstract

The development of new potent chemical architectures, possessing anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-hypertensive, antidepressant, anticancer, antiplatelet, antimalarial and anticonvulsant etc. biological activities remain the main focus thought of many researchers. Among others, hydrazone derivatives acquire azomethine -NHN=CH- group gain considerable attention due to its diverse biological activities. A wide variety of hydrazone derivatives have been synthesized and their biological activities also been evaluated from time to time. The goal of present review is to highlight the diverse potential pharmacological activities of hydrazone derivatives as observations for new drug development.
