THERAPEUTIC SIGNIFICANCE OF QUINOLINE DERIVATIVES AS ANTIMICROBIAL AGENTS
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Microbial infections are one of the leading diseases which are responsible for millions of deaths every year because of lack of effective antimicrobial therapy and this situation becomes more complicated because of microbial resistance towards conventional antibiotics. Quinoline derivatives have proved their medicinal importance by having broad spectrum of pharmacological activities like antimicrobial, anticancer, antiviral and anti-inflammatory activities etc. This review article deals with the antimicrobial potential of novel quinoline derivatives as an effort to provide better treatment for microbial infections.
