Abstract
The achievement of medicinal chemistry, in the last few decades, has intensively increased due to the creation of novel drugs withe isostericnature of tetrazole ring with carboxyl group in longer chain peptides was responsible for the medicinal activity. Therefore a comprehensive search was carried out for 1, 5-disubstituted tetrazoles owing to their synthetic and effective pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibiotic, anti-ulcer, anti-tubercular, anti-hypertensive, etc. In spite of many research papers in the area of tetrazoles with respect to their pharmacological activity there have been no review on1, 5-disubstituted tetrazoles inthis field. The aim of present review is to classify and summarize the pharmaceutical uses of 1, 5-disubstituted tetrazole containing compounds.
