- Unsymmetrical bisquinolines with high potency against P. falciparum Malaria
-
Quinoline-based scaffolds have been the mainstay of antimalarial drugs, including many artemisinin combination therapies (ACTs), over the history ofmoderndrugdevelopment. Althoughmuch progress has beenmade in the search for novel antimalarial scaffolds, itmay be that quinolineswill remain useful, especially if very potent compounds fromthis class are discovered. We report here the results of a structure-activity relationship(SAR) study assessingpotentialunsymmetrical bisquinoline antiplasmodial drug candidates using in vitro activity against intact parasites in cell culture. Many unsymmetrical bisquinolineswere found to be highly potent against both chloroquine-sensitive and chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum parasites. Further work to develop such compounds could focus on minimizing toxicities in order to find suitable candidates for clinical evaluation.

- Coordinating Activation Strategy-Induced Selective C?H Trifluoromethylation of Anilines
-
A simple protocol for the synthesis of 2-(trifluoromethyl)aniline derivatives through a coordinating activation strategy was developed. The reaction showed good reactivity and gave the target products in moderate to good yields. Pleasingly, the directing group could be recovered in excellent yield. Furthermore, this strategy allowed efficient access to the synthesis of floctafenine. A single-electron-transfer mechanism was proposed to be responsible for this trifluoromethylation reaction.

- Synthesis of ring-substituted 4-aminoquinolines and evaluation of their antimalarial activities
-
A simple two-step synthesis method was used to make 51 B-ring-substituted 4-hydroxyquinolines allowing analysis of the effect of ring substitutions on inhibition of growth of chloroquine sensitive and resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum, the dominant cause of malaria morbidity. Substituted quinoline rings other than the 7-chloroquinoline ring found in chloroquine were found to have significant activity against the drug-resistant strain of P. falciparum W2.

- Preparation of 4-hydroxyquinolines
-
Process for the preparation of 4-hydroxyquinolines of the general formula: STR1 in which R represents a hydrogen atom, or one, two or three substituents, which may be the same or different, selected from halogen atoms, alkyl radicals containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkoxy radicals containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and the trifluoromethyl radical, the substituent(s) being in the 2-, 3-, 5-, 6-, 7- or 8-position, by the oxidation, by means of oxygen or air, in the presence of a catalyst based on platinum or ruthenium, or alloys thereof, of a 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-4-one of the general formula: STR2 in which R is as defined above.
