Chalcones are α, β unsaturated aromatic ketones having enone moiety and exhibit a wide array of pharmaceutical and biological activities. Chalcones possess a wide range of biological activities such as anticancer, antituberculosis, antidiabetic, antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antimalarial. Nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic compounds are an extremely important class of organic compounds with a broad spectrum of pharmaceutical activities. Pyrazolines are N‐ heterocyclic compounds that exhibit a wide range of pharmaceutical activities and are synthesized from chalcone with enhanced biological activity. The present study summarizes the chemistry of various chalcone‐based pyrazolines and their derivatives with the available data till 2021.
Heterocycles that include nitrogen are now indispensable to humanity. The majority of the major pharmaceuticals on the market are composed of heterocycles that include nitrogen. One such substance is benzodiazepine, which was shown to have potential as an anti-anxiety medication in 1955. A novel class of chalcone-based benzodiazepines continues to receive the most attention because of their enhanced pharmacological, medicinal, and biological actions. The present study covers the chemistry of some important biologically active chalcone-based benzodiazepines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
