- Substituent-controlled chemoselective synthesis of multi-substituted pyridones: Via a one-pot three-component cascade reaction
-
An efficient and concise one-pot strategy for the synthesis of multisubstituted pyridones via a one-pot three-component cascade reaction catalyzed by Cs2CO3 under solvent-free conditions has been developed. The substituent-controlled chemoselective cycloaddition process involved steps including a Michael addition/ethanol elimination/intermolecular cyclization sequence utilizing anilines, diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, and diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate. In doing so, various 2-pyridone and 4-pyridone species (41 examples) could be obtained in good to excellent yields.

- 3-(Benzo[: D] thiazol-2-yl)-4-aminoquinoline derivatives as novel scaffold topoisomerase i inhibitor via DNA intercalation: Design, synthesis, and antitumor activities
-
Twenty-seven 3-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-4-aminoquinoline derivatives have been designed and synthesized as topoisomerase I inhibitors. The in vitro anti-proliferation evaluation against four human cancer cell lines (MGC-803, HepG-2, T24, and NCI-H460) and one normal cell line (HL-7702) indicated that most of them exhibited potent cytotoxicity. Among them, 5a was identified as the most promising candidate with a low IC50 value of about 2.20 ± 0.14 and was selected for further exploration. Spectroscopic analyses and agarose-gel electrophoresis assays indicated that 5a could interact with DNA and strongly inhibit topoisomerase I (Topo I). Further screening of the Topo I activity of compounds 5b, 5c, 5e, 5f, 5h, 5i, 5j, 5l, and 5n suggested that some of the compounds might exert quite a different cytotoxicity profile to that of 5a. Molecular modeling studies confirmed that 5a adopts a unique mode to interact with DNA and Topo I. Other molecular mechanistic studies suggested that the treatment of MGC-803 cells with 5a induces S phase arrest, up-regulates the pro-apoptotic protein, down-regulates the anti-apoptotic protein, activates caspase-3, and subsequently induces mitochondrial dysfunction so as to induce cell apoptosis. The in vivo efficiency of 5a was also evaluated on MGC-803 xenograft nude mice and the relative tumor growth inhibition was 42.4percent at 12 mg kg-1 without an obvious loss in the body weight.

- Novel quinolone-3-carboxylic acid derivatives as anti-HIV-1 agents: design, synthesis, and biological activities
-
A new series of quinolone-3-carboxylic acids featuring different hydrophobic groups at N-1, C-2, C-7, and C-8 positions were synthesized and evaluated for their activity against single-cycle replicable HIV NL4-3 as inhibition rate of p24 expression in Hela cells cultures. Most of the synthesized compounds showed anti-HIV activity with no significant cytotoxicity at concentration of 100 μM. The most active compounds 4h, 4k, and 4j exhibited anti-HIV activity with an inhibition rate of 55, 71, and 84 %, respectively. A docking study using the crystallographic data available for PFV integrase including its complexes with Mg2+ and Raltegravir revealed that the active compounds could occupy same space near Raltegravir and interact with the Mg2+ ions in the active site. Thus, the anti-HIV activity of the synthesized compounds might involve a metal chelating mechanism. [InlineMediaObject not available: see fulltext.]

- Synthesis of 6-aryl substituted 4-quinolones via Suzuki cross coupling
-
A convenient way to introduce aryl functionalization in the 6-position of 4-quinolones is developed via selective bromination and subsequent arylation by Suzuki cross-coupling. Ethyl 4-quinolone 3-carboxylates were subjected to selective bromination at C-6 followed by arylation under microwave irradiation that yielded the desired cross-coupling products within 5 minutes. This approach can expediently be used for library synthesis of the aryl functionalized 4-quinolone derivative, an important class of biologically active compounds.

- Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel quinoline derivatives as HIV-1 Tat-TAR interaction inhibitors
-
Thirty-two quinoline derivatives were designed and synthesized as HIV-1 Tat-TAR interaction inhibitors. All the compounds showed high antiviral activities in inhibiting the formation of SIV-induced syncytium in CEM174 cells. Nine of them with low cytotoxicities were evaluated by Tat dependent HIV-1 LTR-driven CAT gene expression colorimetric enzyme assay in human 293T cells, indicating effective inhibitory activities of blocking the Tat-TAR interaction. Molecular modeling experiments indicated that these compounds may inhibit Tat-TAR interaction by binding to Tat protein instead of TAR RNA.

- Design and synthesis of potent inhibitors of the malaria parasite dihydroorotate dehydrogenase
-
Pyrimidine biosynthesis presents an attractive drug target in malaria parasites due to the absence of a pyrimidine salvage pathway. A set of compounds designed to inhibit the Plasmodium falciparum pyrimidine biosynthetic enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (PfDHODH) was synthesized. PfDHODH-specific inhibitors with low nanomolar binding affinities were identified that bind in the N-terminal hydrophobic channel of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase, the presumed site of ubiquinone binding during oxidation of dihydroorotate to orotate. These compounds also prevented growth of cultured parasites at low micromolar concentrations. Models that suggest the mode of inhibitor binding is based on shape complementarity, matching hydrophobic regions of inhibitor and enzyme, and interaction of inhibitors with amino acid residues F188, H185, and R265 are supported by mutagenesis data. These results further highlight PfDHODH as a promising new target for chemotherapeutic intervention in prevention of malaria and provide better understanding of the factors that determine specificity over human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase.

- Evaluation of 3-carboxy-4(1H)-quinolones as inhibitors of human protein kinase CK2
-
Due to the emerging role of protein kinase CK2 as a molecule that participates not only in the development of some cancers but also in viral infections and inflammatory failures, small organic inhibitors of CK2, besides application in scientific research, may have therapeutic significance. In this paper, we present a new class of CK2 inhibitors-3-carboxy-4(1H)-quinolones. This class of inhibitors has been selected via receptor-based virtual screening of the Otava compound library. It was revealed that the most active compounds, 5,6,8-trichloro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (7) (IC 50 = 0.3 μM) and 4-oxo-1,4-dihydrobenzo[h]quinoline-3-carboxylic acid (9) (IC50 = 1 μM), are ATP competitive (Ki values are 0.06 and 0.28 μM, respectively). Evaluation of the inhibitors on seven protein kinases shows considerable selectivity toward CK2. According to theoretical calculations and experimental data, a structural model describing the key features of 3-carboxy-4(1H)-quinolones responsible for tight binding to CK2 active site has been developed.

- N-Arylpiperazinyl-N'-propylamino derivatives of heteroaryl amides as functional uroselective α1-adrenoceptor antagonists
-
Novel arylpiperazines were identified as α1-adrenoceptor (AR) subtype- selective antagonists by functional in vitro screening. 3-[4-(ortho- Substituted phenyl)piperazin-1:yl]propylamines were derivatized with N,N- dimethyl anthranilamides, nicotinamides, as well as carboxamides of quinoline, 1,8-naphthyridine, pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine, isoxazolo[3,4- b]pyridine, imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine, and pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines. Strips of rabbit bladder neck were employed as a predictive assay for antagonism in the human lower tract. Rings of rat aorta were used as a 'negative screen' for the test antagonists. Binding to α1-ARs was relatively sensitive to size and electronic features of the arylpiperazine portion of the antagonists and permissive to these features on the heteroaryl carboxamide side. These structure-affinity findings were exploited to produce nicotinamides (e.g. 13ii and 25x) and pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines (e.g. 37f and 37y) ligands with nanomolar affinity at the α1-AR subtype prevalent in the human lower urinary tract (pA2 values: 8.8, 10.7, 9.3, and 9.9, respectively) and displaying 2-3 orders of magnitude selectivity over the α(1D)-AR.
