In-silico, Synthesis, Characterization, and In-vitro Studies on Benzylidene-based 2-chloroquinolin Derivatives as Free Radical Scavengers in Parkinson's Disease.

Parkinson's disease is the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantial nigra part of the brain leading to neurodegeneration. Whereas, reactive oxygen species and mitochondrial impairment are considered to be the major pathophysiology of neurodegeneration. The benzylidene-based 2-chloroquinolin derivatives were synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, NMR, and MS spectrometry which were screened using various approaches.
