A mini review on biological potential of 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives

Abstract

Among heterocyclic compounds, 1,3,4-oxadiazole has become an important synthons in development of new drugs. Compounds containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole cores have a broad biological activity spectrum, including antibacterial, antifungal, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anticancer, antidepressant, anticonvulsant, and anti-diabetic properties. The ability of 1,3,4-oxadiazole heterocyclic compounds to undergo various chemical reactions has made them important because of their privileged structure, which has an enormous biological potential.
