Hydrazonoyl Halides: Their Versatile Biological Activities

Abstract

The various biological activities namely anthelmintic, antiarthropodal, antiviral, antimicrobial, herbicidal, antisarcoptic, acaricidal, insecticidal and miticidal activities exhibited by the hydrazonoyl halides are surveyed. Also, the uses of such halides as pesticides, weed controlling and antihypertensive agents as well as lipoxygenase and cyclooxy- genase inhibitors are presented. Furthermore, their contact dermatitis and phytotoxicity effects are pointed out in addition to their metabolic fate.
