8-Hydroxyquinoline is an important heterocyclic scaffold in organic and analytical chemistry, used for detecting metal ions and anions due to its chromophore properties. Recently, synthetic modification of 8-hydroxyquinoline has garnered attention for developing potent drug molecules for the treatment of diseases like cancer, HIV, and neurodegenerative disorders. The metal chelation properties of 8-hydroxyquinoline and its derivatives also make them potential drug candidates for various diseases.
8-Hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) is a significant heterocyclic scaffold in organic and analytical chemistry because of the properties of chromophore and is used to detect various metal ions and anions. But from the last 2 decades, this moiety has been drawn great attention of medicinal chemists due to its significant biological activities. Synthetic modification of 8-hydroxyquinoline is under exploration on large scale to develop more potent target-based broad spectrum drug molecules for the treatment of several life-threatening diseases such as anti-cancer, HIV, neurodegenerative disorders, etc. Metal chelation properties of 8-hydroxyquinoline and its derivatives also make these potent drug candidates for the treatment of various diseases. This review comprises 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives reported in the literature in last five years (2016-2020) and we anticipate that it will assist medicinal chemists in the synthesis of novel and pharmacologically potent agents for various therapeutic targets, mainly anti-proliferative, anti-microbial, anti-fungal and anti-viral as well as for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.
