Thiazolidine derivatives and their pharmacological actions

Abstract

Heterocyclic compounds are the backbone of medicinal chemistry as they gave a prominent number of drugs in the clinical market. Thiazolidine, a five membered heterocyclic compound, possess multiple pharmacological activities viz. anti-microbial, anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-convulsant and anti-HIV. Various derivatives of thiazolidine nucleus have been synthesized and screened for these pharmacological activities. The present review summarizes some of these studies that have been reported in the last two decades.
