Hydrazides/hydrazones as antimicrobial and anticancer agents in the new millennium.

Hydrazide/hydrazone derivatives are of quite interest for medicinal chemists because of their vast spectrum of biological activity. Literature reports reveal that the hydrazide derivatives have been extensively studied for their biological profile during the past decade. The aim of the present work is to collect literature reports focusing the antimicrobial and anticancer study of different hydrazide/hydrazone derivatives carried out during the past decade which will serve as a valuable source of information for the researchers working in the field of antimicrobial and anticancer research.
