The antibiotics currently used for clinical treatment of MRSA have developed resistance, and there is an urgent need to develop new antimicrobials to treat infections caused by MRSA strains. Quinoline analogues play an important role in the development of antimicrobials. Herein, we discussed the current development of antibacterial activities of quinoline analogues, mainly for anti-MRSA activity, and their structure-activity relationships (SARs) from the perspective of using the quinoline nucleus to search for novel potential anti-MRSA candidates. Additionally, the mechanisms of some representative quinoline analogues against MRSA were clarified. Altogether, this review could provide further insights for the rational development of quinoline-based antibacterial drugs, especially against MRSA.展开更多
