Novel (quinolin-8-yl-oxy)-pyrazole/thiophene derivatives: Synthesis, characterization and their pharmacological evaluation

Quinoline-derivatives as privileged scaffolds for medicinal and pharmaceutical chemists: A comprehensive review

The quinoline scaffolds are privileged for their numerous biological activities in the pharmaceutical field. This moiety constitutes a well-known space in several marketed preparations. The quinoline scaffolds gained attention in modern days being an important chemical moiety in the identification, designing, and synthesis of novel potent derivatives. The current review is developed to shine the light on critical and significant insights on the quinoline derivatives possessing diverse biological activities such as analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antialzheimer, anti-convulsant, anti-oxidant, antimicrobial, anti-cancer activities and so on. A detailed summary of quinoline ring from its origin to the recent advancements regarding its synthesis, green chemistry approaches, patented methods, and its marketed drugs is presented in the review. We attempted to review the literature compiling the critical information that has potential to encourage fellow researchers and scientists for the design and development of quinoline scaffold based active molecules that have improved therapeutic performance along with profound pharmacological properties.
