Abstract
Cancer is a rapid, out of control, and proliferation pathology of ordinary cells, which has become one of the most infamous and aggressive health afflictions worldwide. Molecular hybridization is related to a combination of two or more pharmacophores of bioactive frames which generate a single molecular structure with enhanced activity. Previous studies described the piperazine framework as a central structure in numerous synthetic and natural compounds, showing a wide range of biological activities. Here, we review, highlight and discuss a detailed account of the anticancer applications of some important piperazine-containing hybrid heterocycles; we have also included several patents approved for the anticancer activity of piperazine heterocycles.
