Abstract

The utility of oxazole as intermediates for the synthesis of new chemical entities in medicinal chemistry have been increased in the past few years. Oxazole is an important heterocyclic nucleus having a wide spectrum of biological activities which drew the attention of researchers round the globe to synthesize various oxazole derivatives and screen them for their various biological activities. The present review article aims to review the work reported on therapeutic potentials of oxazole scaffolds which are valuable for medical applications during new millennium.

Keywords: Anticancer; Antimicrobial; Antitubercular; Oxazole derivatives.
