A series of novel bivalent quinolines with a spacer of four to six methylene units between the phenoxy group in the position-7 and various substituents in the position-4 of quinoline skeleton, respectively, were synthesized and evaluated as anticancer agents. The data showed that the majority of the compounds had significant antiproliferative activity with IC
TL;DR

Investigation on the underlying mechanism of action indicated that compound 4b didn't trigger apoptotic processes in cervical cancer cell lines, but inhibit cervical cancer growth through inducing autophagy via the ATG5/ATG7 pathway.
