Click chemistry is totally an approach consisting of efficient and reliable reactions that bind two molecular building blocks and require no complex purification techniques. The aspire of achieving molecules with the desired characteristics and behaviour is the key to the click chemistry concept. In this concept, in order to obtain 1,2,3-triazole products as diversely functionalized molecules, copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction has been widely used for years in the field of materials science, organic synthesis and the biochemistry. This review focusses on the importance of click chemistry for obtaining biologically active triazole molecules and therefore the applications of such 1,2,3-triazole derivatives in medicinal chemistry field are highlighted.
