Abstract

Heterocyclic compounds have diverse structure, which makes them broad and economical therapeutic agents. Pyrazole is a five-membered aromatic ring that contains two nitrogen atom and is responsible for the diverse functions of heterocyclic compounds. This implies the need of reviewing the work that already has been done on the potential of pyrazole scaffolds in the field of medicinal chemistry for the synthesis of new compounds with more effective antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-tuberculosis, and anti-inflammatory activities.
