Abstract

Quinoline and its analogues are found in various natural products, many of which are active pharmacophores with significant bioactivities. This article discussed the plethora of quinoline derivatives and their analogues that have anti-cancer properties. The review will be helpful for the scientific community since several possible anticancer drugs based on quinolines are discussed here. In addition to this, the synthetic aspect of many such quinoline derivatives showing anti-cancer activities is also revealed in this article. These quinoline-based anti-oncogenic molecules can be synthesized using several acids, bases, and azides or with the help of reagents like Jone’s reagent and Lawesson’s reagent.
