Sweety Birla*, Sudhir and Vivek

ABSTRACT

Microbial diseases and inflammatory disorders are claiming millions of deaths worldwide every year as per reports of World Health Organization (WHO) therefore discovery and development of effective antimicrobial and anti - inflammatory drugs with novel mechanism of action has become the highest priority task for researchers in this area. Bacterial resistance development has become a very serious clinical problem for many classes of antibiotics. Approximately half of all deaths caused by infectious diseases each year can be attributed to just three diseases: tuberculosis, malaria, and AIDS. Tuberculosis causes nearly 2 million deaths every year, and WHO estimates that nearly 1 billion people will be infected between 2000 and 2020 if more effective preventive procedures are not adopted. Infectious diseases are common diseases all over the world.

Keywords: effective antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory drugs.
