- 5-HT3 Receptor Antagonists. 3. Quinoline Derivatives Which May Be Effective in the Therapy of Irritable Bowel Syndrome
-
A series of quinolinecarboxylic acid derivatives has been previously described as a new class of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists due to deviation of a carbonyl moiety from the plane of an aromatic ring in their minimum-energy conformations.These derivatives were evaluated in a wrap-restraint stress-induced defecation model in rats.Reference compounds, ondansetron (1), granisetron (2), and YM060 (4), potently inhibited a stress-induced increase in stools excreted from fed rats (ID50 = 0.27, 0.12, and 0.0052 mg/kg, po, respectively).However, quinoline derivatives exhibited different activities depending on structural class. 4-Hydroxyquinoline-3-carboxylic acid derivatives 5 and 6a possess high affinity for the 5-HT3 receptor (Ki = 6.1 and 1.5 nM, respectively) and exhibit potent activity in the Bezold-Jarisch (B-J) reflex test (ED50 = 0.0017 and 0.00010 mg/kg, iv, respectively), but they did not effectively inhibit the increase in fecal pellet output at the dose of 1 mg/kg, po.On the other hand, most of 1-substituted 2-oxoquinoline-4-carboxylates 10 showed less potent activity in the B-J reflex test than 1 or 2 but inhibited restraint stress-induced defecation more potently than 1 or 2.The ID50 value of endo-8-methyl-8-azabicyclooct-3-yl 1-isobutyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-4-quinolinecarboxylate 10e was 0.013 mg/kg, po.With respect to the selected compounds 6a and 10e, effects on 5-HT- and thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH)-induced defecation, castor oil-induced diarrhea and wrap-restraint stress-induced colonic propulsion in rats were examined.These 5-HT3 receptor antagonists did not effectively inhibit castor oil-induced diarrhea, which has been reported not to be mediated via the 5-HT3 receptor.Although 10e showed 800-fold decreased potency compared with 4 in the B-J refles test, 10e exhibited activity as potent as 4 in 5-HT- and TRH-induced defecation assays; 10e exhibited 7-fold increased potency compared with 4 in wrap-restraint stress-induced colonic propulsions.From these results, 10e appears to interact selectively with 5-HT3 receptors in the gastrointestinal system and might be effective in the therapy of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

- Design and synthesis of novel quinoline/chalcone/1,2,4-triazole hybrids as potent antiproliferative agent targeting EGFR and BRAFV600E kinases
-
New quinoline / chalcone hybrids containing 1,2,4-triazole moiety have been designed, synthesized and their structures elucidated and confirmed by various spectroscopic techniques. The designed compounds showed moderate to good activity on different NCI 60 cell lines in a single-dose assay with a growth inhibition rate ranging from 50% to 94%. Compounds 7b, 7d, 9b, and 9d were the most active compounds in most cancer cell lines with a growth inhibition percent between 77% and 94%. Newly synthesized hybrids were evaluated for their anti-proliferative activity against a panel of four human cancer cell lines. Compounds 7a, 7b, 9a, 9b, and 9d showed promising antiproliferative activities. These compounds were further tested for their inhibitory potency against EGFR and BRAFV600E kinases with erlotinib as a reference drug. The molecular docking study of compounds 7a, 7b, 9a, 9b, and 9d revealed nice fitting into the active site of EGFR and BRAFV600E kinases. Compounds 7b, 9b, and 9d displayed the highest binding affinities and similar binding pattern to those of erlotinib.

- NO-releasing STAT3 inhibitors suppress BRAF-mutant melanoma growth
-
Constitutive activation of STAT3 can play a vital role in the development of melanoma. STAT3-targeted therapeutics are reported to show efficacy in melanomas harboring the BRAFV600E mutant and also in vemurafenib-resistant melanomas. We designed and synthesized a series of substituted nitric oxide (NO)-releasing quinolone-1,2,4-triazole/oxime hybrids, hypothesizing that the introduction of a STAT3 binding scaffold would augment their cytotoxicity. All the hybrids tested showed a comparable level of in vitro NO production. 7b and 7c exhibited direct binding to the STAT3-SH domain with IC50 of ~ 0.5 μM. Also, they abrogated STAT3 tyrosine phosphorylation in several cancer cell lines, including the A375 melanoma cell line that carries the BRAFV600E mutation. At the same time, they did not affect the phosphorylation of upstream kinases or other STAT isoforms. 7c inhibited STAT3 nuclear translocation in mouse embryonic fibroblast while 7b and 7c inhibited STAT3 DNA-binding activity in the A375 cell line. Their anti-proliferating activity is attributed to their ability to trigger the production of reactive oxygen species and induce G1 cell cycle arrest in the A375 cell line. Interestingly, 7b and 7c showed robust cell growth suppression and apoptosis induction in two pairs of BRAF inhibitor-na?ve (-S) and resistant (-R) melanoma cell lines containing a BRAF V600E mutation. Surprisingly, MEL1617-R cells that are known to be more resistance to MEK inhibition by GSK1120212 than MEL1617-S cells exhibit a similar response to 7b and 7c.

- Design, synthesis, and antibacterial evaluation of new quinoline-1,3,4-oxadiazole and quinoline-1,2,4-triazole hybrids as potential inhibitors of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV
-
DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV (topo IV) inhibitors are among the most interesting antibacterial drug classes without antibacterial pipeline representative. Twenty-four new quinoline-1,3,4-oxadiazole and quinoline-1,2,4-triazole hybrids were developed and tested against DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV from Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The most potent compounds 4c, 4e, 4f, and 5e displayed an IC50 of 34, 26, 32, and 90 nM against E. coli DNA gyrase, respectively (novobiocin, IC50 = 170 nM). The activities of 4c, 4e, 4f, and 5e on DNA gyrase from S. aureus were weaker than those on E. coli gyrase. Compound 4e showed IC50 values (0.47 μM and 0.92 μM) against E. coli topo IV and S. aureus topo IV, respectively in comparison to novobiocin (IC50 = 11, 27 μM, respectively). Antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains has been studied. Some compounds have demonstrated superior antibacterial activity to ciprofloxacin against some of the bacterial strain studied. The most active compounds in this study showed no cytotoxic effect with cell viability>86%. Finally, a molecular docking analysis was performed to investigate the binding mode and interactions of the most active compounds to the active site of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV (topo IV) enzymes.

- Quinoline carboxamide core moiety-based compounds inhibit P. falciparum falcipain-2: Design, synthesis and antimalarial efficacy studies
-
Targeting Falcipain-2 (FP2) for the development of antimalarials is a promising and established concept in antimalarial drug discovery and development. FP2, a member of papain-family cysteine protease of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum holds an important role in hemoglobin degradation pathway. A new series of quinoline carboxamide-based compounds was designed, synthesized and evaluated for antimalarial activity. We integrated molecular hybridization strategy with in-silico drug design to develop FP2 inhibitors. In-vitro results of FP2 inhibition by Qs17, Qs18, Qs20 and Qs21 were found to be in low micromolar range with IC50 4.78, 7.37, 2.14 and 2.64 μM, respectively. Among the 25 synthesized compounds, four compounds showed significant antimalarial activities. These compounds also depicted morphological and food-vacuole abnormalities much better than that of E-64, an established FP2 inhibitor. Overall these aromatic substituted quinoline carboxamides can serve as promising leads for the development of novel antimalarial agents.

- Synthesis of Novel Quinoline–Benzoxazolinone Ester Hybrids: In Vitro Anti-Inflammatory Activity and Antibacterial Activity
-
Abstract: A series of novel quinoline-benzoxazolinone ester hybrids were synthesized characterized and assessed for their in vitro anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activity. The in vitro anti-inflammatory activity was executed using protein denaturation assay, proteinase inhibitory assay and human red blood cell membrane stabilization assay. Most of the compounds exhibited potential anti-inflammatory activity. Compound (2-oxobenzo[d]oxazol-3(2H)-yl)methyl-2-(thiophen-2-yl)quinoline-4-carboxylate showed a better anti-inflammatory activity than the standard drugs diclofenac sodium and indomethacin. Furthermore, antibacterial activities of the synthesized compounds were evaluated using resazurin microtiter assay (REMA) and were compared with a positive drug standard chloramphenicol. The compounds demonstrated moderate to potent antibacterial activity. (2-Oxobenzo[d]oxazol-3(2H)-yl)methyl-2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)quinoline-4-carboxylate and (2-oxobenzo[d]oxazol-3(2H)-yl)methyl-2-(2-chlorophenyl)quinoline-4-carboxylate displayed excellent activity against all bacterial strains in comparison to standard chloramphenicol. Moreover, cytotoxicity was performed on MDCK cells using MTT assay and it was found that none of the synthesized derivatives possessed any cytotoxicity.

- New quinoline/1,2,4-triazole hybrids as dual inhibitors of COX-2/5-LOX and inflammatory cytokines: Design, synthesis, and docking study
-
A novel series of 19 quinoline/1,2,4-triazole hybrid 6a-i and 7a-j was synthesized and evaluated in vitro as dual COX-2/5-LOX inhibitors. Compounds 6e, 6i, and 7e displayed the highest potency and selectivity for inhibiting COX-2 activity (IC50 = 7.25, 8.13, and 8.48 nM, respectively; selectivity index (COX-1/COX-2) = 44.89, 30.30, and 33.47, respectively) in comparison to celecoxib (COX-2 IC50 = 42.60 nM; selectivity index (SI) = 8.05). The anti-inflammatory activity of the newly synthesized compounds was further examined in vivo using a carrageenan induced paw edema assay. Interestingly, the in vitro findings of the COX inhibitory assay were consistent with the in vivo assay. Moreover, 6e, 6i, and 7e showed a substantial reduction in serum concentrations of PGE2, TNF-α, IL-6. Molecular docking analysis of compounds 6e, 6f, 6i, 7e, and 7f revealed high binding affinities toward COX-2 compared to COX-1, which was matched with the experimental results. In addition, these compounds exhibited different binding orientations into the active site of COX-2, which were dependent on the type of substitutions on N4 of the triazole ring. Among the tested derivatives, compounds 6e, 6i and 7e which showed high selectivity to COX-2, exhibited hydrogen bonding interactions with key amino acids in COX-2 such as Arg120, Arg513, and/or Glu524. In addition, the tested compounds also showed multiple hydrogen bonds with the Arg101, Val110, Arg138 or His130 in 5-LOX. These findings show, taken together, that those derivatives are good leads to potential anti-inflammatory agents with lowest gastric damage.

- Synthesis, Antibacterial, Antioxidant, and Molecular Modeling Studies of Novel [2,3′-Biquinoline]-4-Carboxylic Acid and Quinoline-3-Carbaldehyde Analogs
-
Currently, it has been common to see people being affected and dying from untreatable infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) germs. To tackle this problem, developing new effective chemotropic agents is urgently needed. Hence, this project aims to design, synthesize, and evaluate their antibacterial and antioxidant activities of new series of [2,3′-biquinoline]-4-carboxylic acid and quinoline-3-carbaldehyde analogs. The molecular docking analysis of the compounds against E. coli DNA gyrase was computed to investigate the binding mode of the compounds within the active site of the enzyme. In this regard, a new series of [2,3′-biquinoline]-4-carboxylic acid and quinoline-3-carbaldehyde analogs were synthesized by utilization of Vilsmeier-Haack, Doebner, nucleophilic substitution, and hydrolysis reactions. The structures of the synthesized compounds were determined using UV-Vis, FT-IR, and NMR. The synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity against four bacterial strains using disc diffusion methods. The findings of the study revealed that seven of synthetic compounds possess good antibacterial activity compared to ciprofloxacin which was used as a positive control in the experiment. Among them, compounds 4, 9, and 10 displayed the highest mean inhibition zone of 13.7 ± 0.58, 16.0 ± 1.7, and 20.7 ± 1.5 mm, respectively, at 0.1 μg/μL. The radical scavenging property of these compounds was evaluated using DPPH radical assay where compounds 9 and 20 showed the strongest activity with IC50 values of 1.25 and 1.75 μg/mL, respectively. At the same concentration, the IC50 value of ascorbic acid was 4.5 μg/mL. The synthesized compounds were also assessed for their in silico molecular docking analysis. Compounds 4 (-6.9 kcal/mol), 9 (-6.9 kcal/mol), and 10 (-7.9 kcal/mol) showed the maximum binding affinity close to ciprofloxacin (-7.2 kcal/mol) used as a positive control. Thus, compounds 4, 9, and 10 showed the best antibacterial activities in both in vitro and molecular docking analyses among the synthetic compounds. The results of in silico molecular docking evaluation of the synthetic compounds against E. coli DNA gyrase B were in good agreement with the in vitro antibacterial analysis. Therefore, the antibacterial activity displayed by these compounds is encouraging for further investigation to improve the activities of [2,3′-biquinoline]-4-carboxylic acid by incorporating various bioisosteric groups in either of the quinoline rings.

- A green synthesis of quinoline-4-carboxylic derivatives using p-toluenesulfonic acid as an efficient organocatalyst under microwave irradiation and their docking, molecular dynamics, ADME-Tox and biological evaluation
-
P-Toluenesulfonic acid, being an efficient, nonhazardous, and fast accessible organocatalyst, was used for the preparation of quinoline-4-carboxylic acid derivatives via a one-pot three-component reaction of aromatic benzaldehyde, substituted aniline, and pyruvic acid under microwave irradiation. After completion of the reaction, the pure products were isolated by column chromatography. Here, to achieve the desired synthesis, various catalytic and solvent conditions were applied to perform a comparison study. We are using higher yield, simple work-up process, avoiding the use of hazardous organic solvents, short reaction time and higher advantages of the present protocol in the study. Biological activities of synthesized compounds were tested against various antibacterial, antifungal, antimalarial, and antituberculosis strains. Compounds 4a and 4c (MIC 50 μg/mL) and compounds 4d and 4n (MIC 62.5 μg/mL) were found active against the Escherichia coli strain, compounds 4c and 4p (MIC 25 μg/mL) were found active against the Staphylococcus aureus strain, and compounds 4c and 4d were found active against the Plasmodium falciparum strain. Molecular docking revealed that ligands and proteins fitted exactly in the binding pocket and had significant correlation with the biological activity. We have also tested molecular dynamics and ADME-Tox parameters for the synthesized compounds.

In this work, some 2-phenyl quinoline-4-carboxamide derivatives (5a-j) were synthesized via base catalyzed Pfitzinger reaction of isatin and acetophenone followed by C-N coupling reaction using POCl3 and assessed them for their in vitro antimicrobial and anticancer activity. The structure of newly synthesized compound were established by FT-IR, 1H & 13C NMR and Mass spectrometric analysis. The synthesized carboxamides were subjected to preliminary in vitro antibacterial activity as well as for antifungal activity. Results of antibacterial activity were compared with standard antibacterial (ciprofloxocin) and antifungal (fluconozole). Among the tested compounds, 5d, 5f and 5h exhibited promising activity with zone of inhibition ranging from 10 to 25 mm. Further, the anticancer activity determined using MTT assay against two cancer cell lines. Compounds 5b, 5d, 5f and 5h showed good anticancer activity among all the other derivatives. In order to correlate the in vitro results, in silico ADME and Molecular docking studies were carried out for (5a-j). ADME properties results showed that all the compounds obey rule of Five rule except 5a, 5e and 5g compound. Molecular docking studies of the synthesized compounds showed good binding affinity through hydrogen bond interactions with key residues on active sites as well as neighboring residues within the active site of chosen target proteins viz. antibacterial, antifungal and anticancer. Comparison of both results of in silico as well as in vitro investigation suggests that the synthesized compounds may act as potential antimicrobial as well as anticancer agents.

- Development of broad-spectrum enterovirus antivirals based on quinoline scaffold
-
Non-polio enteroviruses such as enterovirus A71 (EV-A71), EV-D68, and coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) are significant human pathogens with disease manifestations ranging from mild flu-like symptoms to more severe encephalitis, myocarditis, acute flaccid paralysis/myelitis, and even death. There is currently no effective antivirals to prevent or treat non-polio enterovirus infection. In this study, we report our progress in developing potent and broad-spectrum antivirals against these non-polio enteroviruses. Starting from our previously developed lead compounds that had potent antiviral activity against EV-D68, we synthesized 43 analogs and profiled their broad-spectrum antiviral activity against additional EV-D68, EV-A71, and CVB3 viruses. Promising candidates were also selected for mouse microsomal stability test to prioritize lead compounds for future in vivo mouse model studies. Collectively, this multi-parameter optimization process revealed a promising lead compound 6aw that showed single-digit to submicromolar EC50 values against two EV-D68 strains (US/KY and US/MO), two EV-A71 strains (Tainan and US/AK), and one CVB3 strain, with a high selectivity index. Encouragingly, 6aw was stable in mouse microsomes with a half-life of 114.7 min. Overall, 6aw represents one of the most potent broad-spectrum antiviral against non-polio enteroviruses, rendering it a promising lead candidate for non-polio enteroviruses with translational potential.

- New quinoline/chalcone hybrids as anti-cancer agents: Design, synthesis, and evaluations of cytotoxicity and PI3K inhibitory activity
-
A series of quinoline-chalcone hybrids was designed as potential anti-cancer agents, synthesized and evaluated. Different cytotoxic assays revealed that compounds experienced promising activity. Compounds 9i and 9j were the most potent against all the cell lines tested with IC50 = 1.91–5.29 μM against A549 and K-562 cells. Mechanistically, 9i and 9j induced G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in both A549 and K562 cells. Moreover, all PI3K isoforms were inhibited non selectively with IC50s of 52–473 nM when tested against the two mentioned compounds with 9i being most potent against PI3K-γ (IC50 = 52 nM). Docking of 9i and 9j showed a possible formation of H-bonding with essential valine residues in the active site of PI3K-γ isoform. Meanwhile, Western blotting analysis revealed that 9i and 9j inhibited the phosphorylation of PI3K, Akt, mTOR, as well as GSK-3β in both A549 and K562 cells, suggesting the correlation of blocking PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway with the above antitumor activities. Together, our findings support the antitumor potential of quinoline-chalcone derivatives for NSCLC and CML by inhibiting the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.

- Synthesis, characterization, and antileishmanial activity of certain quinoline-4-carboxylic acids
-
Leishmaniasis is a fatal neglected parasitic disease caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania and transmitted to humans by different species of phlebotomine sandflies. The disease incidence continues to increase due to lack of vaccines and prophylactic drugs. Drugs commonly used for the treatment are frequently toxic and highly expensive. The problem of these drugs is further complicated by the development of resistance. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop new antileishmanial drug candidates. The aim of this study was to synthesize certain quinoline-4-carboxylic acids, confirm their chemical structures, and evaluate their antileishmanial activity. Pfitzinger reaction was employed to synthesize fifteen quinoline-4-carboxylic acids (Q1-Q15) by reacting equimolar mixtures of isatin derivatives and appropriate α-methyl ketone. The products were purified, and their respective chemical structures were deduced using various spectral tools (IR, MS, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR). Then, they were investigated against L. donovani promastigote (clinical isolate) in different concentration levels (200 μg/mL to 1.56 μg/mL) against sodium stibogluconate and amphotericin B as positive controls. The IC50 for each compound was determined and manipulated statistically. Among these compounds, Q1 (2-methylquinoline-4-carboxylic acid) was found to be the most active in terms of IC50.

- Phenylquinoline transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 antagonists for the treatment of pain: Discovery of 1-(2-phenylquinoline-4-carbonyl)-N-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)pyrrolidine-3-carboxamide
-
Reported herein is the design, synthesis, and pharmacologic characterization of a class of TRPV1 antagonists constructed on a phenylquinoline platform that evolved from Cinchophen lead. This design composes three sections: a phenylquinoline headgroup attached to an aliphatic carboxamides, which is tethered at a phenyl tail group. Optimization of this design led to the identification of 37, comprising a pyrrolidine linker and a trifluoromethyl–phenyl tail. In the TRPV1 functional assay, using cells expressed hTRPV1, 37 antagonized capsaicin-induced Ca2+ influx, with an IC50 value of 10.2 nM. In the complete mice analgesic model, 37 exhibited better antinociceptive activity than the positive control BCTC in diverse pain models. All of these results suggested that 37 could be considered as a lead candidate for the further development of antinociceptive drugs.

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of 2-phenylquinoline-4-carboxamide derivatives as a new class of tubulin polymerization inhibitors
-
A novel series of 2-phenylquinoline-4-carboxamide derivatives was synthesized, characterized and evaluated for its antiproliferative activity against five cancer cell lines, Hela, SK-OV-3, HCT116, A549 and MDA-MB-468, and a normal human fetal lung fibroblastic cell line, MRC-5. Among them, compound 7b displayed potent cytotoxic activity in vitro against SK-OV-3 and HCT116 cell lines with IC50 values of 0.5 and 0.2 μM, respectively. In general, the antiproliferative activity was correlated with the binding property of the colchicine binding site and inhibitory effect on tubulin polymerization. In addition, immunofluorescence and flow cytometry analysis revealed that selected compounds caused disruption of the mitotic spindle assembly and G2/M phase arrest of the cell cycle, which correlated with proliferation inhibitory activity. Molecular docking analysis demonstrated the interaction of 7b at the colchicine binding site of tubulin. These results indicate these compounds are promising inhibitors of tubulin polymerization for the potent treatment of cancer.

A convergent synthesis of a series of 16 new polysubstituted (5-hydroxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)(quinolin-4-yl)methanones, starting from isatin and alky(aryl/heteroaryl) ketones, is described. The diheteroaryl methanones were achieved at yields of up to 95% by a [3?+?2] cyclocondensation reaction involving 4-alkyl(aryl/heteroaryl)-4-methoxy-1,1,1-trifluorobut-3-en-2-ones (by two-step reaction) and 2-alkyl(aryl/heteroaryl)-4-carbohydrazides (by three-step reaction). Subsequently, representative dehydrated heterocyclic derivatives were obtained from the respective 5-hydroxy-2-pyrazoline moieties by classical dehydration reactions, which resulted in the corresponding (5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)(quinolin-4-yl)methanones (three examples) at yields of 69–82%. The subsequent cytotoxicity evaluation showed that compounds with aromatic groups at the 2-position of the quinoline and a methyl moiety at the 3-position of the pyrazole have significant cytotoxicity in human leukocytes at high concentrations (200?μM).

- Phosphorescent biscyclometallated iridium(iii) ethylenediamine complexes functionalised with polar ester or carboxylate groups as bioimaging and visualisation reagents
-
We report the synthesis, characterisation and photophysical properties of new phosphorescent biscyclometallated iridium(iii) ethylenediamine (en) complexes functionalised with polar ester or carboxylate groups [Ir(N^C)2(en)]n(X) (n = +1, X = Cl-, HN^C = methyl 4-(2-pyridyl)benzoate Hppy-COOMe (1a), methyl 2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxylate Hpq-COOMe (2a); n = -1, X = Li+, HN^C = 4-(2-pyridyl)benzoate Hppy-COO- (1b), 2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxylate Hpq-COO- (2b)). In aqueous solutions, the carboxylate complexes 1b and 2b displayed emission quenching (ca. 7 and 74 fold, respectively) and lifetime shortening upon protonation, and their pKa values were determined to be 5.13 and 3.46, respectively. The pq complexes 2a and 2b exhibited hypsochromic shifts in their emission maxima and a significant increase in emission intensity (ca. 84 and 15 fold, respectively) upon nonspecific binding to the protein bovine serum albumin (BSA). Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) and laser-scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) results revealed that the ester complexes 1a and 2a were efficiently internalised by the human cervix epithelioid carcinoma (HeLa) cells through energy-requiring pathways and subsequently localised in endosomes and mitochondria, respectively. They showed good biocompatibility in the dark, but became significantly cytotoxic upon photoirradiation due to the generation of singlet oxygen. In contrast, in aqueous solutions of physiological pH, the carboxylate complexes 1b and 2b existed as the anionic form and hardly entered cells due to limited membrane permeability, as evidenced by the intense emission surrounding the plasma membrane of the cells. They showed negligible cytotoxicity and the cell viability remained over 95% for an incubation period of 24 hours. In view of the low cytotoxicity and strongly emissive nature of the hydrophilic ppy-COO- complex 1b in an aqueous medium, the potential application of the complex as a visualisation reagent has been demonstrated using zebrafish (Danio rerio) as an animal model.

- CYTOSINE DEAMINASE MODULATORS FOR ENHANCEMENT OF DNA TRANSFECTION
-
Compounds and methods are provided for enhancing or boosting the transfection rate or efficiency of mammalian cells by foreign DNA, such as bacterial plasmid DNA. Compounds, including natural products and inventive synthetic compounds can increase the effectiveness of uptake and incorporation of foreign DNA by mammalian cells, such as human cells, by suppression of DNA cytosine deamination, which is believed to be a mechanism by which these cells eliminate foreign DNA. Inhibition of the cytosine deaminase enzymes by compounds as described herein serves to provide more effective transfection of eukaryotic cells by plasmids including engineered gene sequences. Transfection can be used to study cellular processes, or to cure genetic diseases in human patients. The inventive materials and methods increase the efficiency and effectiveness of such transfection techniques.

- Design, synthesis and antitumour activity of bisquinoline derivatives connected by 4-oxy-3-fluoroaniline moiety
-
A series of novel bisquinoline derivatives connected by a 4-oxy-3-fluoroaniline moiety were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antitumour activities against a panel of five cancer cell lines (H460, HT-29, MKN-45, U87MG, and SMMC-7721). Most of compounds tested showed a potent activity and high selectivity towards the H460 and MKN-45 cell lines. Among the compounds tested, six (15d, 15e, 15m, 15n, 16a, and 16i) were further examined for their c-Met kinase activity; the compounds showed high efficacy with IC 50 values in the single-digit nM range. An analysis of structure-activity relationships indicated that an unsubstituted or a halogen-substituted phenyl ring on the 2-arylquinoline-4-carboxamide moiety was favourable for antitumour activity.

- Design, synthesis and evaluation of quinoline-based small molecule inhibitor of stat3
-
As STAT3 has been validated as an anticancer target, its inhibitors have been shown to possess therapeutic promise for the treatment of human cancers. To identify novel and selective STAT3 inhibitors, a virtual screening based on the STAT3 SH2 domain was performed and a small molecule, 2-phenylquinoline-4- carboxylic acid (5a), with an inhibition constant Ki value of 17.53 iM to STAT3 was discovered. On this basis, the derivatives of 5a including esters, amides and dimers were synthesized. The bioactivity and inhibitory selectivity of the derivatives were assayed using human breast cancer cell lines, MDA-MB-468 and MCF-7. Among the derivatives, 5c and 9b showed the most potent inhibitory activity with a good selectivity, and also inhibited STAT3 protein level of MDA-MB-468 cells. The results demonstrated a successful application of virtual screening for lead discovery. Compound 9b might be an effective STAT3 inhibitor lead for the further development of antitumor agents.

- Comparative study of the affinity and metabolism of type i and type II binding quinoline carboxamide analogues by cytochrome P450 3A4
-
Compounds that coordinate to the heme-iron of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are assumed to increase metabolic stability. However, recently we observed that the type II binding quinoline carboxamide (QCA) compounds were metabolically less stable. To test if the higher intrinsic clearance of type II binding compounds relative to type I binding compounds is general for other metabolic transformations, we synthesized a library of QCA compounds that could undergo N-dealkylation, O-dealkylation, benzylic hydroxylation, and aromatic hydroxylation. The results demonstrated that type II binding QCA analogues were metabolically less stable (2- to 12-fold) at subsaturating concentration compared to type I binding counterparts for all the transformations. When the rates of different metabolic transformations between type I and type II binding compounds were compared, they were found to be in the order of N-demethylation > benzylic hydroxylation> O-demethylation > aromatic hydroxylation. Finally, for the QCA analogues with aza-heteroaromatic rings, we did not detect metabolism in aza-aromatic rings (pyridine, pyrazine, pyrimidine), indicating that electronegativity of the nitrogen can change regioselectivity in CYP metabolism.

- Synthesis of some 2-aryl- and 2,3-diaryl-quinolin-4-carboxylic acid derivatives
-
Eighteen 2-aryl- and 2,3-diaryl-quinolin-4-carboxlic acid derivatives were synthesized. Basically, the synthetic design of these compounds arose from the appropriate disconnections of the target compounds, which revealed pyruvic acid, aromatic amine, and benzaldehyde or phenyl pyruvic acid, aromatic amine, and benzaldehyde as possible logical precursors for 2-aryl- and 2,3-aryl-quinolin-4- carboxylic acids respectively. The purity and identities of the synthesized compounds were elucidated through chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques (ultraviolet, infrared, mass, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR). The prepared derivatives were screened for their antibacterial activity against the standard bacterial organisms B. subtilis, S. aureus, E. coli, and P. vulgaris. 2,3-Diphenyl-6-sulfanilamido-quinolin-4-carboxylic acid showed the highest activity against the four tested organisms.

- Small molecule quantification by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry for metabolites of drugs and drug candidates
-
Identification and quantification of the metabolites of drugs and drug candidates are routinely performed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The best practice is to generate a standard curve with the metabolite versus the internal standard. However, to avoid the difficulties in metabolite synthesis, standard curves are sometimes prepared using the substrate, assuming that the signal for substrate and the metabolite will be equivalent. We have tested the errors associated with this assumption using a series of very similar compounds that undergo common metabolic reactions using both conventional flow electrospray ionization LC-MS and low-flow captive spray ionization (CSI) LC-MS. The differences in standard curves for four different types of transformations (O-demethylation, N-demethylation, aromatic hydroxylation, and benzylic hydroxylation) are presented. The results demonstrate that the signals of the substrates compared with those of the metabolites are statistically different in 18 of the 20 substrate-metabolite combinations for both methods. The ratio of the slopes of the standard curves varied up to 4-fold but was slightly less for the CSI method. Copyright

- Highly active and recyclable silica gel-supported palladium catalyst for mild cross-coupling reactions of unactivated heteroaryl chlorides
-
Silica gel-supported β-ketoiminatophosphane-Pd complex (Pd@SiO 2) was shown to be a highly active and long-lived catalyst for aqueous Suzuki, Stille and Sonogashira coupling reactions of heteroaryl chlorides. A wide range of heteroaryl chlorides could be efficiently coupled with different nucleophilic partners in the presence of only 0.5 mol% catalyst and under mild conditions. This is one of the most powerful heterogeneous catalysts for the couplings of diverse heteroaryl chlorides. Furthermore, the catalyst could be reused with almost consistent activity.

Ytterbium perfluorooctanoate [Yb(PFO)3] has been proved to be an efficient catalyst for Doebner reaction of pyruvic acid, aldehydes and amines under mild conditions in water to afford quinoline-4-caboxylic acid derivatives with three component one-pot method in good yields. The process is operationally simple and environmentally benign and the catalyst has readily been recycled for several times with consistent activity. Furthermore, a plausible mechanism for this transformation is also presented.

- Studies on novel 2-imidazolidinones and tetrahydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones as potential TACE inhibitors: Design, synthesis, molecular modeling, and preliminary biological evaluation
-
Compounds belonging to the class of 2-imidazolidinones and tetrahydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones were synthesized and evaluated for their TACE inhibitory activity. Most of the compounds showed very good TACE inhibitory activity. Docking study clearly indicates importance of the P1′ group of the inhibitor for the TACE inhibitory activity. This work proves that these two classes of molecules could be used as potential leads for the development of TACE inhibitors.

- Expanded heterogeneous Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions of aryl and heteroaryl chlorides under mild conditions
-
A mesoporous LTA zeolite (MP-LTA)-supported palladium catalyst was developed for the highly efficient Suzuki-Miyaura reaction of aryl and heteroaryl chlorides. The couplings of various aryl chlorides with arylboronic acids in aqueous ethanol were efficiently achieved in the presence of 1.0 mol% of the catalyst. Furthermore, the scope of this catalyst was extended to the coupling of heteroaryl chlorides. Regardless of the substituents, all of the coupling reactions were very clean and highly efficient under mild heating. It shows that our catalyst is one of the most powerful heterogeneous catalysts for the coupling of a wide range of aryl and heteroaryl chlorides. The catalyst could be repetitively used at least 10 times without a significant loss of its catalytic activity. Compared to mesoporous SBA-15 and MCM-41 materials, the MP-LTA support proved to be very stable and robust to prevent degradation upon reuse.

- Discovery of a novel class of selective non-peptide antagonists for the human neurokinin-3 receptor. 2. Identification of (S)-N-(1-phenylpropyl)-3- hydroxy-2-phenylquinoline-4-carboxamide (SB 223412)
-
Optimization of the previously reported 2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxamide NK-3 receptor antagonist 14, with regard to potential metabolic instability of the ester moiety and affinity and selectivity for the human neurokinin-3 (hNK-3) receptor, is described. The ester functionality could be successfully replaced by the ketone (31) or by lower alkyl groups (Et, 21, or n-Pr, 24). Investigation of the substitution pattern of the quinoline ring resulted in the identification of position 3 as a key position to enhance hNK-3 binding affinity and selectivity for the hNK-3 versus the hNK-2 receptor. All of the chemical groups introduced at this position, with the exception of halogens, increased the hNK-3 binding affinity, and compounds 53 (3-OH, SB 223412, hNK- 3-CHO binding K(i) = 1.4 nM) and 55 (3-NH2, hNK-3-CHO binding K(i) = 1.2 nM) were the most potent compounds of this series. Selectivity studies versus the other neurokinin receptors (hNK-2-CHO and hNK-1-CHO) revealed that 53 is about 100-fold selective for the hNK-3 versus hNK-2 receptor, with no affinity for the hNK-1 at concentrations up to 100 μM. In vitro studies demonstrated that 53 is a potent functional antagonist of the hNK-3 receptor (reversal of senktide-induced contractions in rabbit isolated iris sphincter muscles and reversal of NKB-induced Ca2+ mobilization in CHO cells stably expressing the hNK-3 receptor), while in vive this compound showed oral and intravenous activity in NK-3 receptor-driven models (senktide-induced behavioral responses in mice and senktide-induced miosis in rabbits). Overall, the biological data indicate that (S)-N-(1-phenylpropyl)-3-hydroxy- 2-phenylquinoline-4-carboxamide (53, SB 223412) may serve as a pharmacological tool in animal models of disease to assess the functional and pathophysiological role of the NK-3 receptor and to establish therapeutic indications for non-peptide NK-3 receptor antagonists.

- Discovery of a novel class of selective non-peptide antagonists for the human neurokinin-3 receptor. 1. Identification of the 4-quinolinecarboxamide framework
-
A novel class of potent and selective non-peptide neurokinin-3 (NK-3) receptor antagonists, featuring the 4-quinolinecarboxamide framework, has been designed based upon chemically diverse NK-1 receptor antagonists. The novel compounds 33-76, prompted by chemical modifications of the prototype 4, have been characterized by binding analysis using a membrane preparation of chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing the human neurokinin-3 receptors (hNK-3-CHO), and clear structure-activity relationships (SARs) have been established. From SARs, (R)-N-[α-(methoxycarbonyl)benzyl]-2- phenylquinoline-4-carboxamide (65, SB 218795, hNK-3-CHO binding K(i) = 13 nM) emerged as one of the most potent compounds of this novel class. Selectivity studies versus the other neurokinin receptors (hNK-2-CHO and hNK-1-CHO) revealed that 65 is about 90-fold selective for hNK-3 versus hNK-2 receptors (hNK-2-CHO binding K(i) = 1221 nM) and over 7000-fold selective versus hNK-1 receptors (hNK-1-CHO binding K(i) = >100 μM). In vitro functional studies in rabbit isolated iris sphincter muscle preparation demonstrated that 65 is a competitive antagonist of the contractile response induced by the potent and selective NK-3 receptor agonist senktide with a K(b) = 43 nM. Overall, the data indicate that 65 is a potent and selective hNK-3 receptor antagonist and a useful lead for further chemical optimization.

- Synthesis and aldose reductase inhibitory activity of N-(quinolinyl thiocarbonyl) glycine derivatives
-
The onset of diabetic complications may be prevented by the inhibition of aldose reductase.Derivatives of N-(quinolinyl thiocarbonyl) glycine were prepared and their in vitro and ex vivo aldose reductase inhibitory activities were tested on rat lens.The cincophen derivatives were the most potent in vitro with an enzyme inhibition value of 29percent at 10-8 M and 91percent at 10-7 for the N--N-methylglycine compound 10a.This activity was shown to be dependent on the nature of the substituents and seems to be optimal for the acids; esterswerefound to be inactive.No compound have shown ex vivo inhibitory activity.It is concluded that the lack of ex vivo activity is likely due to a poor bioavailability or a bad penetration of the compounds in target tissue (lens). aldose reductase inhibitors / diabetic complications / N-(quinolinyl thiocarbonyl) glycine
