Antimalarial agents are an important key for the prevention and eradication of malaria. The heterocyclic aromatic quinoline scaffold is a favored structure in drug development because its derivatives have a wide range of biological properties. The quinoline family contains a lot of antimalarial agents like chloroquine, piperaquine, quinine, etc. Chloroquine had been a significant antimalarial agent for more than five decades. To enhance the efficacy in malarial treatment a new system of several other quinoline-based drugs has been synthesized. This mini-review intends to provide a literature overview of antimalarial compounds containing a quinoline core, encompassing papers from 2018 to the present along with the synthesis and pertinent figures. It could be useful for researchers to design more effective antimalarial drugs in the future.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
