This review summarizes the synthetic methods, reactions and biological application of important pharmacological succinimides and summarizes recent developments in their derivatives such as dichlorodiformyl, Schiff base, chalcone, Barbier type allylation etc. Over the last years. The biological activity of the cyclic imides is also briefly discussed. Formation of succinimidyl radicals and Single crystal studies on this type of compounds are beyond the scope of this review and will not be discussed. Nor referenced
