Hydrazide derivatives- Its properties and applications

In Organic chemistry, the characterization of hydrazine is a class of organic framework. Hydrazides and their derivatives are of greater use in biological as well as economical industry.

In this Blog, you would be able to understand the properties and applications of hydrazide and acetohydrazide as a perfect NLO material.

hydrazide derivatives


Structural framework

A common hydrazine core replaces a functional group of at least one hydrogen atom with an acyl group substitute. 

The overall structure for hydrazides is E(=O)NRNR2, in which the R's are frequently hydrogens. The chemistry of the – C = N – group of hydrazides is the basis of the condensation reaction.

It also represents an important class of compounds used in producing new drugs.

Acetohydrazides, also known as N-acyl hydrazones, are synthesized using Acid Catalysts using standard practices similar to those used for Schiff bases. 

In this procedure, hydrazide is allowed to react with a substituted aliphatic/aromatic aldehyde in the presence of acid as a catalyst.

Nearly all the syntheses of acetohydrazide derivatives have the same technique. The synthesis of N-acyl hydrazones and their structural study have gained Significant attention to the emergence of geometrical isomers and biological properties in recent years, primarily because of their efficacy in the synthesis.

The hydrazone group contributes to the nucleophilic and electrophilic character, which enhances their use in organic chemistry and the fabrication of new drugs. 

Properties Of Hydrazide derivatives

Aromatic hydrazide derivatives are considered an effective inhibitor of corrosion in mild steel. These derivatives are helpful for various biological properties; hydrazides are valuable starting materials for a broad range of results that can be used in pharmaceutical products and as surfactants. 

Hydrazides have been known to associate with antibacterial activity. In addition, they are often used as potential inhibitors to combat corrosion in many metals, including mild steel.

The examples of other organic acid hydrazides that were tested for corrosion inhibition were salicylic acid hydrazide (SAH), anthranilic acid hydrazide (AAH), and benzoic acid hydrazide (BAH), which have AOH, ANH2, and AH respective replacements.

Acetohydrazide- a powerful derivative of hydrazides

Acetohydrazide derivatives are powerful anticancer, analgesic, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and antiproliferative agents, inhibiting enzyme and antibacterial activity, and antidepressants. 

Their ability to inhibit platelet aggregation at the PAF receptor level was outstanding and proven to be a potent antithrombic agent. In contrast, some more acetohydrazide surrogates are reported to inhibit tumor necrosis factor activity.

The pyridine ring also improves the antitumor function by adding specific substituents, such as Thiazole, thiophene, benzothiophene, triazole, or pyrazole Cyanoacetohydrazide.

Applications:

Hydrazides and their derivatives have attracted considerable interest due to various applications in the field of medicine, such as, 

  • antibacterial
  • anti-inflammatory 
  • anticancer
  • antiplatelet
  • antimalarial 
  • analgesic 
  • antioxidant 

Hydrazides and their analogs have been effectively used to fabricate medicinal products such as anti-tuberculosis, antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antiplatelet agents, anticonvulsants, antioxidants, antimalarial agents, and anti-trypanosomal agents. In particular, tuberculosis diagnosis requires isonicotinic acid hydrazide.

The Structural-Activity Relationship (SAR) of the compounds with these rings is reported as an anticancer. Thiazolo derivatives portray anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antiparkinson, and anticonvulsant activity with 2,6-disubstitutedsotonic acid hydrazides.

In addition to their medicinal effects, these scaffolds have been successfully entailed in organic reactions in the form of reactive functional groups. In addition, hydrazides can be used as organo-catalysts in several chemical transformations.

In the same way, hydrazides have acted as effective vasodilators and hormone antagonists. These compounds are a big concern and inspiration for medicinal chemistry due to the unknown biological potential associated with such compounds.

Several acetohydrazide products demonstrate anti-HIV activity and N-substituted thiosemicarbazide have antidiabetic potential. The new form of acetohydrazide analogs is reported to have anti-inflammatory activity and anti-thyroid movement. 

They have also prevented mild steel corrosion in the acidic medium. Gummadi and associates have reported several acetohydrazide that have exhibited moderate to the strong antibacterial and antifungal activity.

Non-linear optical properties

Acetohydrazides are promising applicants for NLO materials among organic NLO molecules because these compounds contain an additional C = O site which induces an extensive p-electron. 

The binding affinities with the protein by intermolar interactions and the delocalization of pi electrons are strengthened more extensively by adding different substituents in the aromatic rings. 

The entire hydrazone fragment is delocalized. Since the backbone of the hydrazone is an asymmetric charging transmitter, molecular nonlinearity for electron withdrawing and donating groups is immensely increased.

Organic compounds often test and compare NLO materials with urea and NLO reaction molecules. Thus, hydrazides will appear as good NLO content due to their structural similarity to urea. 

The research community has focused on developing new derivatives to achieve great medicinal and biological applications for such molecules.
