Hydrazones are present in many of the bioactive heterocyclic compounds that are of very important use because of their various biological and clinical applications. The synthesis and the importance of hydrazides were studied by many researchers shows various biological, medical and industrial activities. Hydrazones have been demonstrated to possess, among other, antimicrobial, antimycobacterial, antidepressant, anticonvulsant, anticancer, antimalarial, vasodilator activity, etc. The ease of preparation, increased hydrolytic stability relative to imines, and tendency toward crystallinity are all desirable characteristics of hydrazones. Due to these positive traits, hydrazones have been under study for a long time. Keywords: Hydrazones, biological activity, Acyl hydrazones. INTRODUCTION isomer. In recent years, broad study of hydrazides and their Hydrazone moiety plays an important key role in derivative demonstrated diverse biological activities. heterocyclic chemistry1-7. Hydrazone is a class of organic During literature survey, several articles have been found compounds with structure R1R2C=NNH2. They are related with good therapeutic activities of acyl hydrazones. to ketones and aldehydes by the replacement of the oxygen Hydrazones possessing an azometine -NHN=CH- proton with the NNH2 functional group. They are formed usually constitute an important class of compounds for new drug by the action of hydrazine on ketones or aldehydes8-9. The development. Recently, hydrazide-hydrazones have alpha – hydrogen atom of hydrazones is more nucleophilic gained great importance due to their diverse biological as compared to ketones because alpha – hydrogen atom of properties including antibacterial, antifungal, hydrazone is 10 times more acidic than ketones10-11. The anticonvulsant, antiinflammatory, antimalarial and most significant reactivity of hydrazones is the antituberculosis activities. In the literature studies we nucleophilicity of hydrogen carbon atom. Hydrazone is a found that a large number of series of substituted versatile moiety that exhibits a wide variety of biological hydrazide-hydrazone derivatives were synthesized for in- activities. Acyl hydrazones are a very old class of vitro antimicrobial activities against wide variety of molecules: the first example of N-acylhydrazines was microorganisms. mentioned in 1850,12 and a number of N-unsubstituted, Hydrazone Derivatives – Its biological importance mono-and disubstituted acylhydrazines were discovered Hydrazonone nucleus exhibited immense pharmacological and explored by the scientists worldwide.

Acyl hydrazones have been extensively because of their various biological and clinical investigated in recent years as they were found to be applications. Hydrazone-based coupling methods are used associated with various biological activities have in medical biotechnology to couple drugs to targeted promising analytical properties and can be used as antibodies, e.g. antibodies against a certain type of cancer catalysts. The cyclic products of acylhydrazones are an cell. The hydrazone-based bond is stable at neutral pH (in important class of heterocyclic compounds with a wide the blood), but is rapidly destroyed in the acidic range of biological activities13-17. They are synthesized by environment of lysosomes of the cell. The drug is thereby simply refluxing acid hydrazide with various carbonyl released in the cell, where it exerts its function18. compounds in methanol or ethanol.
