Abstract
Tetrahydroquinoline and isoquinoline scaffolds are important class of heterocyclic compounds, which is implied for the development of new drugs and diagnostic for therapeutic function. Naturally occurring as well as synthetic tetrahydroquinolines/isoquinolines possess many different biological activities and have been testified as remarkable cytotoxic and potency in human cancer cell lines. Tetrahydroquinoline/isoquinoline based compounds displayed a key role in the development of anticancer drugs or lead molecules and acting through various mechanisms such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, DNA fragmentation, inhibition of tubulin polymerization, induced cell cycle arrest, interruption of cell migration, and modulation. The number of tetrahydroquinoline/isoquinoline derivatives has been reported as potent anticancer agents. Due to promising anticancer activities and wideranging properties of these molecules, we have compiled the literature for the synthesis and anticancer properties of various tetrahydroquinolines and isoquinolines. We have reported the synthesis of potent tetrahydroquinoline/isoquinoline molecules of the last 10 years with their anticancer properties in various cancer cell lines and stated their half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50). In addition, we also considered the discussion of molecular docking and structural activity relationship wherever provided to understand the possible mode of activity a target involved and structural feature responsible for the better activity, so the reader can directly find the detail for designing new anticancer agents.

Chemistry Based on Natural Products for Therapeutic Purposes
The development of new pharmaceuticals for a wide range of medical conditions has long relied on the identification of promising natural products (NPs). There are over sixty percent of cancer, infectious illness, and CNS disease medications that include an NP pharmacophore, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Since NP ...read more
Current Trends in Drug Discovery Based on Artificial Intelligence and Computer-Aided Drug Design
Drug development discovery has faced several challenges over the years. In fact, the evolution of classical approaches to modern methods using computational methods, or Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD), has shown promising and essential results in any drug discovery campaign. Among these methods, molecular docking is one of the most notable ...read more

From Biodiversity to Chemical Diversity: Focus of Flavonoids
Flavonoids are the largest group of polyphenols, plant secondary metabolites arising from the essential aromatic amino acid phenylalanine (or more rarely from tyrosine) via the phenylpropanoid pathway. The flavan nucleus is the basic 15-carbon skeleton of flavonoids (C6-C3-C6), which consists of two phenyl rings (A and B) and a heterocyclic ...read more
