Abstract
Among the family of nitrogen-containing heterocycles, quinoxalinone (or quinoxalin-2-one) core, characterized by pyrazin-2(1H)-one fused to benzene ring at two adjacent carbon atoms, has been frequently found in a variety of pharmacologically active compounds with biological or pharmaceutical applications. It was gratifying that a larger part of these bioactive quinoxalinone-based derivatives has entered various clinical trials, which in turn hastens the synthetic versatility and also initiates various derivatization of quinoxalinone scaffold. In this review, we highlighted the newly emerged quinoxalinone- based derivatives or analogues, with the emphasis of their biological applications and structure-activity analysis covering literatures in recent years.
Keywords: Binding mode, biological activities, derivates, quinoxaline, quinoxalinone skeleton, SAR analysis.

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
