Owing to its fascinating features and interesting pharmacological activities, many researchers have proved that oxazole is an active agent in treating different diseases. Based on this fact, this article outlines intramolecular and two component intermolecular cyclization to oxazoles and benzoxazoles. The theme is well documented in this review article covering the era from 2007 till present. Moreover, bioactivity and mechanistic insights are provided with different synthetic approaches, encompassing various pathways.

ABSTRACT Isoxazole and its derivatives are an important class of heterocyclic compound displaying a broad spectrum of biological activities which have made them privileged structures. In the present work, attempts were made to identify leading isoxazole moieties as candidate drugs against many diseases. For example, isoxazole substituted 9-anilino acridine derivatives was found to have increased antioxidant activities. The molecular docking studies show a good correlation between their biological activities screened and auto dock binding free energy. These derivatives will encourage helping to design future anti cancer agents with higher therapeutic potential. Another example is isoxazole incorporated 2-quinolones to show increased antimicrobial and anti inflammatory activities. More importantly, various isoxazole derivatives greatly increase biological properties of the structure like anti-infective action, anticancer properties, anti-protozoal and mutagenic properties. A modification in their structures has offered a high degree of diversity that has proven useful for the development of new therapeutic agents having improved potency and lesser toxicity. In the present study of concise review, is provided on the activities of isoxazole and its derivatives which involve history, chemistry, different methods of synthesis of isoxazole with biological activities and docking studies.

Ils ont été synthétisés en milieu dilué, d’une part, et en émulsion inverse, d’autre part; dans les deux cas à partir d’un copolymère statistique composé d’unités 2-éthyl-2-oxazoline et éthylène imine. Ces nanogels n’ont pas montré d’interactions spécifiques avec des protéines telles que la BSA et se sont avérés non-toxiques in vitro. Une plateforme à base d’un copolymère POx statistique porteur de fonctions aldéhydes a par ailleurs permis d’accéder à une librairie de POx, incluant des structures greffées et réticulées. Enfin, l’auto-assemblage en solution d’un copolymère à blocs de type poly(2-methyl-oxazoline)-b-poly(2-isopropyl-2-oxazoline) (PMeOx- b-PiPrOx), a été étudié en détail.
