6-Fluoroquinolin-8-ol

6-fluoroquinolin-8-ol is a fungicidal agent that belongs to the quinoline derivatives group. It inhibits the synthesis of dextrose and trichophyton mentagrophytes, which are important for the growth of fungi. 6-fluoroquinolin-8-ol has shown synergistic effects with 8-hydroxyquinoline and other quinoline derivatives. This drug has been shown to be cytotoxic and neuropathogenic in animal models, leading to an increased incidence of Parkinson's disease in mice following treatment with this compound. The cytotoxicity of 6-fluoroquinolin-8-ol may be due to its ability to cause oxidative damage by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS).
