A review on biological and medicinal impact of heterocyclic compounds
Abstract
Heterocyclic compounds have gained a lot of attention because of their numerous significant medical and biological uses. Research interest on heterocyclic compounds is rapidly increasing due to the extensive synthetic study and functional utility. They are found in more than 90% of novel drugs, and span the gap between biology and chemistry, where so much scientific discovery and application occurs. Heterocycles also play a role in different fields, inclusive of medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, and others. Pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and veterinary items are the main applications of heterocyclic compounds. In our review, we cover the majority of bio-active heterocycles that have recently been synthesized and introduced a new phase of possible antifungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, anticonvulsant, anthelmintics, anthelmintic antipyretics, anti-allergic, anti-histamine, herbicidal, anticancer, antihypertensive and anti-leprosy therapeutics.
