- Design, synthesis, and antitumor evaluation of quinoline-imidazole derivatives
-
A series of compounds bearing quinoline-imidazole (8a–e, 9a–e, 10a–e, 11a–e, and 12a–e) not reported previously were designed and synthesized. The target compounds were evaluated for antitumor activity against A549, PC-3, HepG2, and MCF-7 cells by the MTT method, with NVP-BEZ235 being the positive control. Most compounds showed moderate activity and compound 12a showed the best activity against HepG2, A549, and PC-3 cells, with half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of 2.42 ± 1.02 μM, 6.29 ± 0.99 μM, and 5.11 ± 1.00 μM, respectively, which was equal to NVP-BEZ235 (0.54 ± 0.13 μM, 0.36 ± 0.06 μM, 0.20 ± 0.01 μM). Besides, the IC50 value of 12a against the cell line WI-38 (human fetal lung fibroblasts) was 32.8 ± 1.23 μM, indicating that the target compounds were selective for cancer cells. So, 11a and 12a were evaluated against PI3Kα and mTOR to find out if the compounds acted through the PI3K-Akt-mTOR signal transduction pathway. The inhibition ratios to PI3Kα and mTOR were slightly lower than that of NVP-BEZ235, suggesting there may be some other mechanisms of action. The structure–activity relationships and docking study of 11a and 12a revealed that the latter was superior. Moreover, the target compounds showed better in vitro anticancer activity when the C-6 of the quinoline ring was replaced by a bromine atom.

- Synthesis, Structure-Activity Relationship, and Antimalarial Efficacy of 6-Chloro-2-arylvinylquinolines
-
There is an urgent need to develop new efficacious antimalarials to address the emerging drug-resistant clinical cases. Our previous phenotypic screening identified styrylquinoline UCF501 as a promising antimalarial compound. To optimize UCF501, we herein report a detailed structure-activity relationship study of 2-arylvinylquinolines, leading to the discovery of potent, low nanomolar antiplasmodial compounds against a Plasmodium falciparum CQ-resistant Dd2 strain, with excellent selectivity profiles (resistance index 200). Several metabolically stable 2-arylvinylquinolines are identified as fast-acting agents that kill asexual blood-stage parasites at the trophozoite phase, and the most promising compound 24 also demonstrates transmission blocking potential. Additionally, the monophosphate salt of 24 exhibits excellent in vivo antimalarial efficacy in the murine model without noticeable toxicity. Thus, the 2-arylvinylquinolines represent a promising class of antimalarial drug leads.

- Design, synthesis, and evaluation of new 2-(quinoline-4-yloxy)acetamide-based antituberculosis agents
-
Using a classical molecular simplification approach, a series of 36 quinolines were synthesized and evaluated as in vitro inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) growth. Structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies leaded to potent antitubercular agents, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values as low as 0.3 μM against M. tuberculosis H37Rv reference strain. Furthermore, the lead compounds were active against multidrug-resistant strains, without cross-resistance with some first- and second-line drugs. Testing the molecules against a spontaneous mutant strain containing a single mutation in the qcrB gene (T313A) indicated that the synthesized quinolines targeted the cytochrome bc1 complex. In addition, leading compounds were devoid of apparent toxicity to HepG2 and Vero cells and showed moderate elimination rates in human liver S9 fractions. Finally, the selected structures inhibited M. tuberculosis growth in a macrophage model of tuberculosis infection. Taken together, these data indicate that this class of compounds may furnish candidates for the future development of antituberculosis drugs.

- Syntheses and evaluation of new Quinoline derivatives for inhibition of hnRNP K in regulating oncogene c-myc transcription
-
Aberrant overexpression of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNP K) is a key feature in oncogenesis and progression of many human cancers. hnRNP K has been found to be a transcriptional activator to up-regulate c-myc gene transcription, a critical proto-oncogene for regulation of cell growth and differentiation. Therefore, down-regulation of c-myc transcription by inhibiting hnRNP K through disrupting its binding to c-myc gene promoter is a potential approach for cancer therapy. In the present study, we synthesized and screened a series of Quinoline derivatives and evaluated their binding affinity for hnRNP K. Among these derivatives, (E)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-(4-morpholino-6-nitroquinolin-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (compound 25) was determined to be the first-reported hnRNP K binding ligand with its KD values of 4.6 and 2.6 μM measured with SPR and MST, respectively. Subsequent evaluation showed that the binding of compound 25 to hnRNP K could disrupt its unfolding of c-myc promoter i-motif, resulting in down-regulation of c-myc transcription. Compound 25 showed a selective anti-proliferative effect on human cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranged from 1.36 to 3.59 μM. Compound 25 exhibited good tumor growth inhibition in a Hela xenograft tumor model, which might be related to its binding with hnRNP K. These findings illustrated that inhibition of DNA-binding protein hnRNP K by compound 25 could be a new and selective strategy of regulating oncogene transcription instead of targeting promoter DNA secondary structures such as G-quadruplexes or i-motifs.

- Synthesis and identification of quinoline derivatives as topoisomerase I inhibitors with potent antipsoriasis activity in an animal model
-
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory and immune-mediated skin disease. Although certain agents have shown clinical success in treating psoriasis, development of safe and effective strategies for the treatment of this condition remains important. Research suggests that DNA topoisomerase I (Topo I)inhibitors may have potent psoriasis-ameliorating effects. Here, 25 quinoline derivatives were synthesized and identified as Topo I inhibitors. These compounds inhibited the 12–O–tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-induced mouse ear inflammation. The most potent analogs, 5i and 5l, suppressed the expression of inflammatory cytokines in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated HaCaT cells. Additionally, the lead compounds significantly improved imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like inflammation in mice. Moreover, the expression levels of cytokines and inflammatory mediators, such as interleukin (IL)-17A, IL-22, IL-23, nuclear factor-κB subunit p65, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interferon-γ, were dramatically inhibited in the dorsal skin of 5i- and 5l-treated mice. These findings indicate that the inhibition of Topo I activity may potentially be an effective strategy for psoriasis treatment.

- Design, Synthesis, and Antifungal Evaluation of Novel Quinoline Derivatives Inspired from Natural Quinine Alkaloids
-
Inspired by quinine and its analogues, we designed, synthesized, and evaluated two series of quinoline small molecular compounds (a and 2a) and six series of quinoline derivatives (3a-f) for their antifungal activities. The results showed that compounds 3e and 3f series exhibited significant fungicidal activities. Significantly, compounds 3f-4 (EC50 = 0.41 μg/mL) and 3f-28 (EC50 = 0.55 μg/mL) displayed the superior in vitro fungicidal activity and the potent in vivo curative effect against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Preliminary mechanism studies showed that compounds 3f-4 and 3f-28 could cause changes in the cell membrane permeability, accumulation of reactive oxygen species, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, and effective inhibition of germination and formation of S. sclerotiorum sclerotia. These results indicate that compounds 3f-4 and 3f-28 are novel potential fungicidal candidates against S. sclerotiorum derived from natural products.

- 4-Nitro styrylquinoline is an antimalarial inhibiting multiple stages of Plasmodium falciparum asexual life cycle
-
Drugs against malaria are losing their effectiveness because of emerging drug resistance. This underscores the need for novel therapeutic options for malaria with mechanism of actions distinct from current antimalarials. To identify novel pharmacophores against malaria we have screened compounds containing structural features of natural products that are pharmacologically relevant. This screening has identified a 4-nitro styrylquinoline (SQ) compound with submicromolar antiplasmodial activity and excellent selectivity. SQ exhibits a cellular action distinct from current antimalarials, acting early on malaria parasite's intraerythrocytic life cycle including merozoite invasion. The compound is a fast-acting parasitocidal agent and also exhibits curative property in the rodent malaria model when administered orally. In this report, we describe the synthesis, preliminary structure-function analysis, and the parasite developmental stage specific action of the SQ scaffold.

- Searching for New Leads for Tuberculosis: Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Novel 2-Quinolin-4-yloxyacetamides
-
In this study, a new series of more than 60 quinoline derivatives has been synthesized and evaluated against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37Rv). Apart from the SAR exploration around the initial hits, the optimization process focused on the improvement of the physicochemical properties, cytotoxicity, and metabolic stability of the series. The best compounds obtained exhibited MIC values in the low micromolar range, excellent intracellular antimycobacterial activity, and an improved physicochemical profile without cytotoxic effects. Further investigation revealed that the amide bond was the source for the poor blood stability observed, while some of the compounds exhibited hERG affinity. Compound 83 which contains a benzoxazole ring instead of the amide group was found to be a good alternative, with good blood stability and no hERG affinity, providing new opportunities for the series. Overall, the obtained results suggest that further optimization of solubility and microsomal stability of the series could provide a strong lead for a new anti-TB drug development program.

- SAR and identification of 2-(quinolin-4-yloxy)acetamides as Mycobacterium tuberculosis cytochrome bc 1 inhibitors
-
A previous phenotypic screen by GSK identified 2-(quinolin-4-yloxy)acetamides as potent growth inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). We report the results of a preliminary structure-activity relationship (SAR) study of the compound class which has yielded more potent inhibitors. An Mtb cytochrome bd oxidase deletion mutant (cydKO) was found to be hypersensitive to most members of the compound library, while strains carrying single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the qcrB gene, which encodes a subunit of the menaquinol cytochrome c oxidoreductase (bc1) complex, were resistant to the library. These results identify that the 2-(quinolin-4-yloxy)acetamide class of Mtb growth inhibitors can be added to the growing number of scaffolds that target the M. tuberculosis bc1 complex.

- Synthesis and antitubercular and antibacterial activity of some active fluorine containing quinoline–pyrazole hybrid derivatives
-
In an attempt to develop newer antitubercular and antibacterial agents against the increasing bacterial resistance, we have designed new quinoline–pyrazole analogs (8a–u) following the molecular hybridization approach. The structure of one of the final compounds, 8a was unambiguously confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) analysis. The target compounds were evaluated for their antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and antibacterial activity against three common pathogenic bacterial strains. Four derivatives (8b, 8c, 8j and 8o) displayed significant antitubercular activity. The compounds derived from 8-trifluoromethylquinoline and 6-fluoroquinoline scaffolds with halogen substitution on the pyrazole ring exhibited superior inhibition activity than corresponding 6-methoxyquinoline analogs. The cytotoxic studies revealed that the active compounds are nontoxic to normal Vero cell lines with selectivity index values ≥10, which indicate the suitability of these compounds for further drug development. The in silico molecular docking study demonstrated strong binding affinity of the compounds with the target enzymes (InhA, CYP121 and TMPK) of M. tuberculosis. Further, the in vitro antibacterial activity of compounds 8b, 8c, 8d and 8g is comparable with that of the reference drug, Ciprofloxacin.

- Quinoline derivatives as antitubercular/antibacterial agents
-
A number of quinoline derivatives of known antibacterial agents have been prepared and tested against the micro-organisms S. coli, S. paratyphi B, S. aureus and in particular against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37-Rv. It has not been possibfe to establish correlation between antibacterial and antitubercular activities of these compounds. However, the antitubercular effect at MIC of 5 μg/mL against H37Rv shows that many modified compounds are more inhibitory than the parent agents such as 3-aminophenol, sulphamethoxazole, sulphaphenazole, sulphathiazole and monoacetyldapsone; among these the most effective are those with substituents such as 6-methyl, 6-chloro, 6-ethoxy-, or 8-methoxy functions in quinoline moiety.
