Quinoline is a nitrogen-containing heterocycle compound widely used in the medical industry for its pharmacological properties, such as its antimalarial, antimicrobial, antiparasitic, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities. Beyond its medical significance, quinoline shows promising applications in agriculture as a safe and effective pesticide, herbicide, and fertilizer. This review explores the evolution of quinoline research, beginning with its history and synthesis and transitioning to its biological activities and their relevance in agriculture. It then highlights the potential applications of quinoline in modern agriculture, such as pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers, for increasing crop yields and resilience while reducing crop waste. Moreover, it discusses formulation strategies that can enhance the efficacy of quinoline. Finally, the review addresses potential challenges, such as toxicity and environmental impact, underscoring the need for further research to harness quinoline's full potential in sustainable agriculture.
喹啉是一种含氮杂环化合物，因其药理特性，如抗疟疾、抗菌、抗寄生虫、抗炎和抗癌活性，而在医药行业得到广泛应用。除了其医学意义外，喹啉作为一种安全有效的杀虫剂、除草剂和肥料，在农业中也显示出有前景的应用。本文综述探讨了喹啉研究的发展历程，从其历史和合成开始，过渡到其生物活性及其在农业中的相关性。然后强调了喹啉在现代农业中的潜在应用，如杀虫剂、除草剂和肥料，以提高作物产量和抗逆性，同时减少作物浪费。此外，还讨论了可以提高喹啉功效的配方策略。最后，该综述探讨了潜在的挑战，如毒性和环境影响，强调需要进一步研究以充分发挥喹啉在可持续农业中的潜力。
