Therapeutic potential of quinoline based heterocycles was recognized as a core structure in various pharmaceuticals such as anti-inflammatory, (Chen et al, 2004;Wen et al, 2015) antimicrobial (Baragaٌ a et al, 2016;Desai et al, 2014), antimalarial (Hamama et al, 2016;Kaur et al, 2010), and antioxidant agents (Orhan et al, 2013;Tseng et al, 2011).
