Part 2, Studies on the Synthesis of Quinolone Derivatives with their Biological Activity

Quinolones are among the class of antibiotics that are used most frequently worldwide and are used for treating a variety of bacterial diseases in humans. Recent research has shown that new, improved analogues of quinolones are being used as anticancer, antifungal, antiviral and other antimicrobial agents. In an earlier review (Part 1), we discussed the synthesis and antibacterial activity of quinolones in detail. This review focuses on the detailed study of newly synthesized quinolone compounds and their biological activity in different dimensions.
