“…Quinoline | 639 ROMERO Et al. alkaloids derived from plants, animals, and micro-organisms have showed remarkable antitumor activity against different cancer cells (Jain, Chandra, Jain, Pathak, & Vaidya, 2016). Also, several examples of synthetic quinolines have been reported by multiple research groups worldwide as promising anticancer agents (Beauchard et al, 2009;Czoch, Pognan, Kaczmarek, & Boraty, 1994;Ferlin, Gatto, Chiarelotto, & Palumbo, 2001;Gamal, Khan, Maksoud, El-Din, & Oh, 2014;Heiniger, Gakhar, Prasain, Hua, & Nguyen, 2010;Kim et al, 2001;Martirosyan, Rahim-Bata, Freeman, Clarke, & Howard, 2004;Perzyna et al, 2002;Tseng, Chen, Lu, Yang, & Tzeng, 2008;Tseng et al, 2009Tseng et al, , 2010Utsugi et al, 1997). In particular, compounds based on 4-aminoquinolines have received largely attention by its significant anticancer activity (Chen, Chen, Wang, Han, & Tzeng, 2005;Chen, Chung, Chen, Chen, & Jeng, 2002;Chen et al, 2006Chen et al, , 2011Kakadiya et al, 2010;Lee et al, 2004;Lu et al, 2010;Mejía et al, 2009;Sanchez et al, 2011;Su et al, 1995;Via, Gia, Gasparotto, & Ferlin, 2008).…”
