Abstract
Quinoline, isoquinoline, and indoles are common heterocyclic compounds. They have many biological activities, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antitumor, anti-virus, anti-rheumatism, immunity regulation, expectorant, and analgesic. Over the past few centuries, traditional natural products have made great contributions to the discovery and development of new therapeutic agents. Many important drugs have been found from these three classes of compounds. In this mini-review, we mainly cover the research progress on antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, analgesic activities of quinoline, isoquinoline, and indole compounds over the past 20 years (2000- 2019). We aim to explore new characteristic groups or structures in the search for active lead compounds and provide a basis for rational drug design.
Keywords: Quinoline, isoquinoline, indole, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, analgesic activity.

Bioprospecting of Natural Products as Sources of New Multitarget Therapies
According to the Convention on Biological Diversity, bioprospecting is the exploration of biodiversity and indigenous knowledge to develop commercially valuable products for pharmaceutical and other applications. Bioprospecting involves searching for useful organic compounds in plants, fungi, marine organisms, and microorganisms. Natural products traditionally constituted the primary source of more than ...read more
Drugs and mitochondria
Mitochondria play a central role in the life and death of cells. They are not merely the center for energy metabolism but are also the headquarters for different catabolic and anabolic processes, calcium fluxes, and various signaling pathways. Mitochondria maintain homeostasis in the cell by interacting with reactive oxygen-nitrogen species ...read more
Mitochondria as a Therapeutic Target in Metabolic Disorders
Mitochondria are the primary site of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in mammalian cells. Moreover, these organelles are an important source of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in virtually any nucleated cell type. The modulation of a myriad of cellular signaling pathways depends on the mitochondrial physiology. Mitochondrial dysfunction is observed ...read more
