ABSTRACT
Quinoxaline moieties are nitrogen containing heterocyclic
derivatives
which have broad spectrum biological and pharmaceutical
applications. The quinoxaline derivatives are used for the cure of
vast
range of various diseases. Modifications in structure of
quinoxaline
substrates have provided applications in various fields and
developed
remarkable efficacy against diseases with lesser side effects. In
this
account, glimpses of such quinoxaline derivatives have been
presented
known for their activity as antiprotozoal, anticancer,
antimalarial,
antimicrobial antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic,
anti-tubercular,
anti-nociceptive, anthelmintic and as a kinase inhibitor.
KEYWORDS: Bioactive quinoxaline, anticancer, antimicrobial,
antineoplastic, anti-
inflammatory.
INTRODUCTION
Organic compounds which are formed by replacing carbon atoms of
ring with one or more N,
O or S elements are called as heterocyclic organic compounds.
Quinoxaline moiety and its
derivatives are belonged to class of nitrogen containing
heterocyclic compounds with broad
range of biological activities and pharmacological applications.
[1]
Benzopyrine and
diazanaphthalene are its other names. Quinoxaline ring atoms are
numbered as below in
Figure 1. The number of resonance structures of quinoxaline
increases by the fusion of one or
more benzene rings to quinoxaline and phenazine rings and the
dipole moment of quinoxaline
is zero. [2]

Quinoazoline, cinnolenes and phthalazines are isomeric with
quinoxline. Quinoxaline is
formed by the fusion of diazine with benzene ring. Some of
heterocyclic system are given
below. [3]

Quinoxaline derivatives act as antiprotozoal,
antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial and as a kinase
inhibitor. [5]
Quinoxaline have

derivatives to develop new pathways for therapeutic targets, drug
design and future drug
discovery.
Abid & Azam reported substituted indophenazines quinoxaline
derivative 1 as anti-amoebic
and psychotropic agent as well as anti-inflammatory. The derivative
1 was formed by the
refluxing of 1-N-thio-carboxamide-3-phenyl-2-pyrazolines with
1,2-dichloroquinoxaline. [7]
Wagle et al screened
3-Methyl-7-substituted-1{[5-(aryl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles-2-yl]-methyl}-

acute and chronic pains. [8]

antibacterial activity against both Gram positive and Gram negative
bacteria. Antibacterial
activity against E. coli. were exhibited by 47c, 47d, 49a, 49c and

activity was not showed by compound 49d against Escherichia coli
and Pseudomonas
aeruginosa. The quinoxaline derivatives 49b and 49c were not
exhibited antimicrobial
characteristics against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. As we introduced
aromatic ring and –CH3
group in the compounds, the lipophilicity of the compounds were
increased. High
antibacterial activity of these compounds 46, 47a, 47c, 47d, 47e
and 49c were due to
increase in lipophilicity which resulted in permeability through
the microbial cell wall. The
derivative 49d was showed best antimicrobial activities due to
presence of –COOH and was
considered as analogue to famous antimicrobial agent benzoic
acid.
The quinoxaline derivatives 46, 48, and 49a acted as moderate

The nitrogen containing heterocyclic quinoxaline core can easily be
synthesized and modified
into different derivatives which have potential biological,
pharmacological and medicinal
applications. The quinoxaline compounds are pharmacophore and have
diverse applications
in biological, pharmacological and organic material chemistry
fields. Quinoxaline is
important moiety which is biologically active and exhibit excellent
and remarkable clinical
and therapeutic properties. The plethora of research mentioned in
this review article is helpful
to develop such strategies and methodologies to synthesize new
generation of quinoxaline
skeleton based therapeutic agents, drugs and analogues which have
optimum potent efficacy,
no cytotoxicity and greater bio absorption.
