Novel synthetic routes to prepare biologically active quinoxalines and their derivatives: a synthetic review for the last two decades

Quinoxalines, a class of N-heterocyclic compounds, are important biological agents, and a significant amount of research activity has been directed towards this class. They have several prominent pharmacological effects like antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, and antimicrobial. Quinoxaline deriva...
