Quinoline is a significant scaffold among heterocyclic compounds and can be used as a key building block for the development of novel medications. Quinoline and its derivatives are recognised as biologically active substances with a number of pharmacological properties. Nowadays, quinolinebased heterocycle scaffolds have achieved a prominent position in medicinal chemistry due to their significant pharmaco-logical and biological properties. The discovery and creation of cutting-edge medications to treat a variety of diseases is an example of the usefulness of these compounds. The current study outlines the range of methods available to create different quinolone-based heterocycle scaffolds and their advantageous therapeutic applications using the literature that has been published up to 2022.
