Isoquinoline-5-carboxylic acid is an isoquinoline derivative. This group of substances can be used as raw materials for organic synthesis in the preparation of other heterocyclic compounds or pharmaceutical products. Studies have shown that its derivative isoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (IQ3CA) has antimicrobial activity and is a lead compound with antimicrobial properties for plant diseases[1].
