Abstract:Quinolone alkaloids are N‐heterocycles with extensive structural diversity, mainly derived from in fungi from anthranilic acid and amino acids as precursors with a wide range of biological activities as antifungal, antimicrobial, anti‐inflammatory, and insecticidal activities. The quinolone basic skeleton comprised of either 2‐quinolones or 4‐quinolones generated more than one hundred compounds. Several reviews discussed quinolones; particularly, the fluoroquinolones, yet few studies tackled natural quinolones… Show more
