A Review Article on Recent Advances in The Pharmacological Diversification of Imidazole Derivative

Imidazole is a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound that plays a vital role in biological and pharmaceutical sciences. Thus, the imidazole ring is a component of several natural products such as purine, histamine, and nucleic acid. The activity of the imidazole ring provides enormous scope in synthesizing various compounds containing pharmacological activities. In this literature, several imidazole derivatives have been described for their biological activities including antifungal, antiulcer, antiviral, anticancer, antibacterial, antitubercular, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anthelmintic, antidepressant, antimalarial, antileishmanial, anticonvulsant, antimicrobial, antihypertensive, antidiabetic, anti-HIV, anti-hepatitis, antioxidant, anticoagulant which reveals the prospect of imidazole in the drug design and medicine.
