Indole and its derivatives have engaged a unique place in the chemistry of nitrogen heterocyclic compounds. The recognition of the plant growthhormone, heteroauxin, the significant amino acids, tryptamine & tryptophan and anti-inflammatory drug, indomethacine are the imperativederivatives of indole which have added stimulus to this review work. Isatin (1H-indole-2,3-dione), an indole derivative of plant origin. Althoughit is a naturally occurring compound, but was synthesized by Erdmann and Laurent in 1840 before it was found in nature. Isatin is a versatileprecursor for many biologically active molecules and its diversified nature makes it a versatile substrate for further modifications. It is concernedin many pharmacological activities like anti-malarial, antiviral, anti-allergic, antimicrobial etc; isatin and its derivatives have been also found todemonstrate promising outcomes against various cancer cell lines. This review provides a brief overview on the recent advances and futureperspectives on chemistry and biological aspects of isatin and its derivatives reported in the recent past.

Nitrogen-containing heterocycles are one of the most common structural motifs in approximately 80% of the marketed drugs. Of these, benzimidazoles analogues are known to elicit a wide spectrum of pharmaceutical activities such as anticancer, antibacterial, antiparasitic, antiviral, antifungal as well as chemosensor effect. Based on the benzimidazole core fused heterocyclic compounds, crescent-shaped bisbenzimidazoles were developed which provided an early breakthrough in the sequence-specific DNA recognition. Over the years, a number of functional variations in the bisbenzimidazole core have led to the emergence of their unique properties and established them as versatile ligands against several classes of pathogens. The present review provides an overview of diverse pharmacological activities of the bisbenzimidazole analogues in the past decade with a brief account of its development through the years.

Chalcones are useful intermediates in the synthesis of heterocyclic compound and the unique reagents in organic synthesis. The usual approach to obtain chalcones is through Claisen-Schmidt condensation. Several novel heterocyclic chalcone analogs have emerged. Chalcones are multifunctional molecules that possess promising pharmacological activities. Chalcones are known for anti-cancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-tubercular, antileishmanial, antimalarial, anthelmintic, osteogenic activities. This review article focuses on recent applications of Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction employed in the synthesis of chalcone, its transformation to heterocyclic compounds and pharmacological activities.

Mercapto-substituted 1,2,4-triazoles are very interesting compounds as they play an important role in chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic effects on cancer. In recent decades, literature has been enriched with sulfur- and nitrogen-containing heterocycles which are used as a basic nucleus of different heterocyclic compounds with various biological applications in medicine and also occupy a huge part of natural products. Therefore, we shed, herein, more light on the synthesis of this interesting class and its application as a biologically active moiety. They might also be suitable as antiviral and anti-infective drugs.

Thiazoles have attracted much synthetic interest due to their wide variety of biological properties and are important members of heterocyclic compounds. In recent years, studies on the synthesis of thiazole compounds have been increasing because of the properties of this core. In particular, the hybrid structures in which the thiazole ring and the other nuclei are linked have gained popularity. Hybrid structures are formed by the combination of different groups of chemical reactivity and biological activity characteristics. In this review, we highlight recent developments related to hybrid structures containing a thiazole core, recently developed as anticancer, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-tubercular, antialzheimer and antidiabetic compounds.

Background: For the development of suitable lead molecules to different diseases is a highly challenging task for medicinal chemists. Nowadays, hybrid pharmacophore concept has developed as a useful structural modification tool in the drug design of new drug candidates for different diseases. Hybrid pharmacophore approach consists of combination of two or more pharmacophoric moieties from different biologically active compounds with complementary functions or different mechanisms of action into a single molecule. This often results in synergistic activity or enhanced drug efficacy. Objective: To develop the suitable leads for different diseases there will be a lot of scope to study the substitution of heterocyclic moieties on the different positions of isatin ring. The broad and potent activities of the isatin and their derivatives have been established them as pharmacologically significant scaffolds. In this review, an attempt has been made with specifically emphasizing the hybridization of Isatin with different derivatives of heterocyclic compounds on the different positions of the isatin ring (aryl ring, isatin nitrogen and C2/C3 carbonyl moieties). Conclusion: This review highlighted the recent advances of dual acting isatin-heterocyclic hybrids presenting various pharmacological activities viz., anticancer, antitubercular, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial.

: Recent advances in the metal-catalyzed hydrofunctionalization of alkynes with carboxylic acids are comprehensively reviewed. Both inter- and intramolecular processes, leading respectively to enol esters and lactones, are discussed, as well as the involvement of these transformations in the synthesis of natural products and biologically active molecules, and the assembly of elaborated heterocyclic compounds though cascade processes. Literature published since 2011 is covered.

Benzimidazole is an important moiety from a medicinal chemistry perspective due to its various biological activities such as antimicrobial, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-Alzheimers, and anti-inflammatory, etc. 2-acetylbenzimidazole is exploited to obtain various heterocyclic compounds of pharmacological interest. This review's main motive is to present the literature on 2-acetylbenzimidazole chemistry and provide valuable and up-to-date information for its applications. The present review is carried out by compiling literature from 1964 to 2020 concerning the synthesis and biological aspects of various heterocyclic compounds derived from 2-acetylbenzimidazole. Literature was collected from various online search engines viz. Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, Core, and Semantic scholar. 2-acetylbenzimidazole has been successfully employed as a synthon to obtain heterocyclic system viz. oxirane, pyrazoline, thiazole, pyrazole, isoxazoline, isoxazole, pyridine, pyrimidine, thiazine, diazepine, and other miscellaneous rings. 2-acetylbenzimidazole has shown promise for the convenient synthesis of various heterocyclic compounds. The reactions can be carried out on various reactive sites of 2-acetylbenzimidazole, which are the carbonyl group and the amino group. This review will help to explore various heterocyclic compounds and particularly in the synthesis of biologically useful compounds.

In this work, we prepared an excellent yield of (2-oxo-2H-pyrano[3,2-h] quinolin-4-yl) acetic acid; compound (1) and from the reaction of it with hydrazine hydrate (100%) we obtain 2-(2-oxo-2H-pyrano [3,2-h] quinolin-4-yl) aceto hydrazide (2) which is the starting material for the synthesis of several series of new compounds: such as schiff’s bases (3a-e) and compound (4) in good yields, hydrazide derivatives like compound (5), derivatives of mercapto oxadiazole as compound (6) and derivatives of pyrazolyl as compound (7). All these compounds were found to possess high antimicrobial activity against G+ and G- bacteria and against antifungal as described in scheme (1). Anticancer activity was screened only for compound (1). The IC50 value of it against breast cancer was found = 6.83 µM comparable with that of the drug of doxorubicin which has IC50 = 5.6. As a result these newly compounds from (1) to (7) are considerable as potent compounds for various pharmacological activities.
