Quinoline and its derivatives are diverse pharmacological agents. They play a vital role in the development of new therapeutic agents. Many new therapeutic agents have been developed by using quinoline nucleus. Hence quinoline and its derivatives constitute an important class of heterocyclic compounds for the new drug development. Quinoline is also known as 1-azanapthalene and many researchers have synthesized large number of quinoline derivatives. Different synthetic routes have been developed by these researchers for the synthesis of quinoline derivatives. These derivatives have also been evaluated for the relevant biological activity by in vitro as well as in vivo methods. The present review focuses on detailed work done so far on the quinoline and its derivatives in the search of new therapeutic agents. The review covers the synthesis as well as biological activities of quinoline derivatives such as antimalarial, anticancer, antibacterial, anthelmintic, antiviral, antiprotozoal, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, cardiovascular, reproductive, central nervous system activity, hypoglycemic and miscellaneous...

Type 2 diabetes is a serious health problem globally. In type 2 diabetes insulin resistance in various tissues such as liver, muscle and β-cell is the major pathophysiological defects. People with long term uncontrolled hyperglycemia are at risk of developing a number of serious and life-threatening complications which mainly affect the heart and blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Current drug development strategy has focused towards the control of hyperglycemia but the treatment of severe complications has been neglected. Many herbs including Momordica charantia, Coccinia indica, Ficus carica, Gymnema sylvestre, Ocimum santum and many more have traditionally been used for the treatment of diabetes and associated complications. Natural products have been reported to have their efficacy in diabetes and its complications by protecting pancreatic β-cells, increasing insulin sensitivity, reducing oxidative stress and by targeting various proteins. Thus, now a day plant based natural product (phytoconstituents) have been the basis of drug development program for the treatment of various diseases. The present review summarizes the latest updates on phytochemicals from...
