“…Among the various heterocyclic compounds, quinolinone derivatives including 2-and 4-quinolinones occur in many natural products such as coal tar, oil, herbs, and dyes. [1][2] 2-Quinolinones have long been targeted in synthetic research due to their sound biological activities and pharmacological properties, which include antiparasitic activity, 3,4 antimicrobial potency, 5,6 antioxidant effect, antiinflammatory activity, 7 anti-convulsion, 8 anti-hepatitis C and B viruses activity, 9,10 anticancer and antitumor activity, 11,12 androgen receptor modulation, 13 CB2 receptor inverse antagonist, potent CDK-5 inhibition, 14 steroid-5a reductase-types inhibition, 15 and potential Rho-kinase inhibition. 16 The great importance of this category of heterocycles oriented our attention to the synthesis of a series of new heterocyclic derivatives combining both known biologically active heterocycles and quinoline in one molecular-frame.…”
