ABSTRACT

The extensive survey of literature has revealed that the oxadiazole possess wide range of biological activities including anticancer , anti-inflammatory , fungicidal , herbicidal , pesticidal, analgesic, anticonvulsant , anti-HIV , antibacterial and plant growth regulator activities .It is observed from that literature certain five membered heterocyclic compound possess interesting anti-inflammatory ,antimicrobial ,antibacterial ,anticonvulsant, antiviral and antifungal activity . It can act as an important tool for researchers to develop newer compounds possessing oxadiazole moiety that could be better agents in terms of efficacy and safety.
