Article Abstract
Due to the structure of acylhydrazones both by the pharmacophore -CO-NH-N= group and by the different substituents present in the molecules of compounds of this class, various pharmacological activities were reported, including antitumor, antimicrobial, antiviral, antiparasitic, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antiedematous, antiglaucomatous, antidiabetic, antioxidant, and actions on the central nervous system and on the cardiovascular system. This fragment is found in the structure of several drugs used in the therapy of some diseases that are at the top of public health problems, like microbial infections and cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, the acylhydrazone moiety is present in the structure of some compounds with possible applications in the treatment of other different pathologies, such as schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and Huntington's disease. Considering these aspects, we consider that a study of the literature data regarding the structural and biological properties of these compounds is useful.

The growing prevalence of Alzheimer's disease calls for a drug that can simultaneously act towards several targets involved in the pathophysiology of the disease. In our study, we evaluated the potential of hydrazone and -acylhydrazone derivatives of vitamin B6 and pyridine-4-carbaldehyde to be used as multi-target directed ligands targeting cholinergic system by inhibiting acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterase, lowering the accumulation of β-amyloid plaques by inhibiting both the β-secretase activity and amyloid self-aggregation, and maintaining the biometal balance by chelating certain biometals. Our results showed that all of the tested hydrazones were potent inhibitors of human cholinesterases with inhibition constants (i) in micromolar range able to lower the activity of β-secretase, inhibit amyloid aggregation, chelate biometals and act as antioxidants.

Background: The potential application of vanillin as a fungicide has garnered significant attention in the agricultural product market and food industries. Consequently, a novel series of vanillin derivatives containing thiazole and hydrazone fragments were strategically designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their antifungal activity against six representative plant phytopathogenic fungi.
Results: In the in vitro antifungal assay, some title vanillin derivatives showed good antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium solani, and Magnaporthe grisea.

A new series of acyl hydrazones have been synthesized from 4-chloro-8-nitro-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde. These compounds were characterized using various spectroscopic techniques. Density functional theoretical (DFT) studies were conducted to understand the correlation between electronic parameters and biological activity.

Mastering the control of external stimuli-induced chemical transformations with detailed insights into the mechanistic pathway is the key for developing efficient synthetic strategies and designing functional molecular systems. Enzymes, the most potent biological catalysts, efficiently utilize their built-in electric field to catalyze and control complex chemical reactions within the active site. Herein, we have demonstrated the interfacial electric field-induced prototropic tautomerization reaction in acylhydrazone entities by creating an enzymatic-like nanopocket within the atomically sharp gold electrodes using a mechanically controlled break junction (MCBJ) technique.

Eliminating persistent inflammation and choosing dressings that provide the best healing environment is key to promoting wound healing. Dynamic and reversible hydrogels have attracted much attention because of their capacity to adapt to irregular wound surfaces. Herein, oxidized hydroxyethyl starch (OHES) and hyaluronic acid (HA-ADH) were crosslinked via the dynamic acylhydrazone bond to form an anti-inflammatory function hydrogel (HA-ADH/OHES@XT) that could release xanthatin (XT) slowly.
