Abstract
Imidazoles, natural or synthetic constitute an important class of bioactive heterocycles which have been found more effective in the treatment of various infectious and life threatening diseases. They exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities such as anti-diabetic, antiviral, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal etc. The purpose of this review is to provide an overall update of the imidazole containing natural products mainly possessing antifungal and antibacterial activities till 2014.

Dementia is the leading cause of AD, which affects about 30 million people worldwide. According to the World Alzheimer report 2018, a new case of dementia develops every ...read more
Recent Advances in Biotransformation of Bioactive Terpenoids using Aspergillus niger
Biotransformation is the reaction catalyzed by biological catalysts of either isolated enzymes or whole cell cultures of microorganisms. This process has been extensively applied in the conversion of bioactive terpenoids with high regio- and stereospecifity. This process has been also applied in the lead discovery and development. Aspergillus niger has ...read more
