In an organic chemistry, largest families of organic compounds are belongs in the heterocyclic compounds. In our daily life important of heterocyclic compounds are of very essential. It has broad range of application in medicinal chemistry and in agrochemicals products. Applications are also found in as developers, as corrosion inhibitors, sanitizers, as copolymers, antioxidants, dye stuff. There is always an important thing about an efficient methodology for synthesizing of new heterocycles moiety. Now in literature survey reveals that more than 85-95% new drugs containing heterocycles which has bright scientific insight in the biological system. In this review work, I mainly focus such type of heterocycle and their families which has main utility in medicinal chemistry. In the recent past developments of imidazole-based compounds in the wide range of medicinal chemistry such as antihypertensive, antineuropathic, antitubercular, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiobesity, antiparasitic, antifungal, antihistaminic, anticancer, and other potential medicinal agents with their broad applications in pathology and diagnostics. Derivatives of imidazole have placed a unique position in the medicinal chemistry field. The involvement of the imidazole scaffold is a key of synthetic strategy in the drug discovery system. The imidazole moiety is a part of several important naturally occurring products, including histamine, purine, nucleic acid and histidine. It is expected that this brief review could be attractive for new thoughts from academia and pharmaceutical industries to designs of more biologically active and non-toxic imidazole-based drugs. The aims of this review work to the reported imidazole derivatives with pharmaceuticals activity during the past years.
