- The quinoline scaffold is key in developing new drugs, particularly quinolones and their derivatives, due to their wide range of biological activities, including antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties.
- The review covers efficient methods to synthesize various quinolone-based structures and highlights their biological effects.
- Additionally, it discusses the mechanisms and reactions involved in producing these compounds, as well as specific biological activities of certain heteroannulated quinolones.
