The importance of the term ‘Imidazole” and its derivates are popular since past few years with the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and treatment of various diseases. The imidazole ring occurs in a number of naturally occurring compounds, and very widely distributed in essentials amino acids, L-histidine and its derivatives have powerful pharmacological properties. Purins, present in living systems contain the imidazole ring. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
