Chemistry and Biological Importance of Heterocyclic Schiff’s Bases

Schiff’s bases containing heterocyclic scaffolds have been known to possess a wide range of biological and pharmacological activities for a long time. In recent years, they have gained significant interest in the area of drug research and development owing to their broad bioactivities such as antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant, antiviral and anticancer activities. In this paper, biologically relevant Schiff’s bases derived from a diverse group of heterocyclic scaffolds have been intensively reviewed.
