Abstract: A five-membered heterocyclic compound known as 1,2,4-oxadiazole has one oxygen, two
carbon, and two nitrogen atoms within a ring. Numerous studies have shown that 1,2,4-oxadiazole has the
potential to be an essential moiety in many harmful pharmacological conditions. 1,2,4-oxadiazole and its
derivatives have been used as an antiviral, cough suppressant, vasodilator, anxiolytic, etc. To synthesize a
single molecule with potent pharmacological action, two or more pharmacophores are combined currently.
This enhances pharmacological effects, facilitates interaction possible with many targets, and reduces
the adverse effects related to them. It has been reported that synthesis of 1,2,4-oxadiazole and its analog is
possible using a variety of methods. In this present review, we emphasized recently accepted synthetic
methods for 1,2,4-oxadiazole and its analogs synthesis. Additionally, the structure-activity relationship
concerning several pharmacological effects, interactions with various targets, and the utility of different
techniques for the analysis and purification has been described. On the behalf of the above study, the
researchers can use this review study to better understand their 1,2,4-oxadiazole research in the future.
