Biological activities of hydrazide derivatives in the new millennium

Abstract

Hydrazides and hydrazones are present in many of the bioactive heterocyclic compounds that are of wide interest because of their diverse biological and clinical applications. This created interest in researchers who have synthesized variety of hydrazide derivatives and screened them for their various biological activities viz. anticancer, anti-HIV, anthelmintic, antimycobacterial, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, trypanocidal as well antimalarial activities.
