“…The acylhydrazones [(hydrazide-hydrazone (ACOANHA N‚CHA)] are classified as important functional group which exhibit significant role in anti-inflammatory (Todeschini et al, 1998;Radhwan et al, 2007;Gaston et al, 1996;Almasirad et al, 2005;Murineddu et al, 2001), antimalarial (Gemma et al, 2006), antimicrobial (Masunari and Tavares, 2007;Kuc¸ukguzel et al, 2002), anticonvulsant (Dimmock et al, 2000;Ragavendran et al, 2007), antitumor (Bernhardt et al, 2009;Whitnall et al, 2006;Vicini et al, 2006;Terzioglu and Gursoy, 2003;Abadi et al, 2003), analgesic (Lima et al, 2000), antiplatelet (Silva et al, 2004) and antitubercular (Vavrikova et al, 2011a;Manvar et al, 2008;Vavrikova et al, 2011b) activities. In recent years, researchers have turned their interest by replacing the central heterocyclic spacer of the bis(indole) alkaloids with biologically active long chain linkers such as glyoxylamide derivatives , and acylhydrazones and their cytotoxic activity was evaluated against human cancer cell lines (Kumar et al, 2012).…”
