A new series of 2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives has been synthesized with the help of different aromatic benzaldehydes and final compounds were characterized by FTIR and 1H NMR. 2,5- disubstituted-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives were synthesized by the reaction of Schiff base derivatives with 2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-oxadiazoles. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their anticancer activity. These compounds were evaluated for their anticancer activity against various cancer cell lines. Five of the compounds possessed good to moderate anti-cancer activity. Three of the synthesized compounds i.e. 6a, 6f and 6g were found to possess maximum growth inhibition. The order for the % control growth inhibition of MCF-7 was found to be 6a>6f>6g>5b>6h, as shown in Table II-VI.

Development in the field of bio-inorganic chemistry increased the interest in Schiff base and its complexes due to its biological importance in many fields, including anticancer activity. Discovery of the antitumor activity of Schiff base and its complexes against various tumor cell lines fascinates the researchers to develop new anticancer drugs without any side effects. Thus, the present review focuses on the anticancer activity of Schiff bases and their metal complexes.
