Abstract

Cinnoline has good attention in the field of research study due to its wide spectrum of biological activity and therapeutic applications. Cinnoline is a good lead compound for the synthesis of novel drugs. There is a growing interest in the synthesis of several cinnoline derivatives as better drug candidates for the treatment of various diseases. Cinnoline contain a strong pharmacophoric moiety and ring structure it attracts the researchers to this nucleus for the synthesis of novel drugs. Through this review, introduce a new way for a researcher by introducing this nucleus and develop a novel class of drugs who have a better therapeutic profile. In this review, mainly discuss the different pharmacological activity of cinnoline which has already discussed by the researchers. These reports have resulted in a great number of contributions in diverse areas of interest. This study may produce a new way for the researchers to design and develop the cinnoline derivatives with good pharmacological activities.

Keywords: Cinnoline, Anticancer agent, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal activity.
