A review on thiazolidinediones used as a potent anticancer agent

Abstract

Heterocyclic compounds and their derivative has been an fascinating field in medicinal chemistry because of their biological and pharmacological properties. Heterocyclic compounds are cyclic compounds in which the ring contains carbon, one or more atoms of other elements, commonly called as hetero atoms. Heterocyclic compounds usually contain hetero atoms like nitrogen, sulphur and oxygen. This review reflects the contribution of Thiazolidinedione as a scaffold to develop novel class of anticancer agents through PPAR-γ activation mechanism.
