Beschreibung

7-Methyl-8-nitroquinoline (MNQ) is a synthetic compound that has been shown to have in vitro antifungal activity. MNQ inhibits the growth of fungi by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, which is an essential component of fungal cell membranes. MNQ has been shown to inhibit the growth of Cryptococcus neoformans, a fungus that causes cryptococcosis, and has also been shown to be effective against colorectal carcinoma cells. 7-Methyl-8-nitroquinoline does not show any cytotoxicity on Caco-2 cells, a human colon cancer cell line. The chemical structure of this compound is closely related to quinoline derivatives and it can be synthesized from dimethylformamide and chloride.
