Abstract: Quinoline is a biologically important bicyclic scaffold found in many natural products and medicinally relevant molecules. Quinoline-containing compounds continue to feature prominently in recent literature on hit identification and hit-to-lead campaigns targeting various biological pathways, underscoring the need for a review of the latest progress. This review presents recently reported quinoline-containing natural products, various synthetic methods for producing quinoline derivatives, and an overview of their diverse biological activities. The biological properties covered include anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-tubercular, α-glucosidase inhibitory, antimicrobial, anti-Alzheimer’s, and antimalarial effects. Finally, a selection of representative quinolinebased chemical probes is presented to assist researchers in strategically designing novel quinoline derivatives for diverse biological applications.
