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 which have a wide variety of potential applications in biological,
medicinal and pharmacological fields. [4]
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}-
quinoxaline-2(1H)-ones as best anti-inflammatory compound. Non-steroidal anti-
inflammatory drugs (NASID) were used for inflammation, arthritis, margarine, fever or for
acute and chronic pains. [8]

most potent and active in anxiolytic effect. The functional groups of compounds 36, 36b, 38

The quinoxaline derivatives 46, 47a, 47c, 47d, 47e, 49a and 49c were showed excellent
antibacterial activity against both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. Antibacterial
activity against E. coli. were exhibited by 47c, 47d, 49a, 49c and 49e. The antibacterial
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 antifungal agent against both
A. niger and C. albicans strains. The quinoxaline compounds 47b, 47c, 47d and 47e exhibited
no activity against C. albicans while showed moderate antifungal activity against A. niger.

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.
