Bacterial infections cause substantial morbidity and mortality across the world and pose serious threats to humankind. Drug resistance, especially multidrug resistance resulting from different defensive mechanisms in bacteria, is the leading cause of failure the chemotherapy, making it an urgent need to develop more effective antibacterials. Quinazoline and quinazolinone frameworks have received considerable attention due to their diversified therapeutic potential. In particular, quinazoline/quinazolinone hybrids could exert antibacterial activity through various mechanisms and are useful scaffolds for the discovery of novel antibacterials. This review principally emphases on the antibacterial potential, structure-activity relationships (SARs), and mechanism of action of quinazoline and quinazolinone hybrids, covering articles published between 2017 and 2021.
