- 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 cytotoxicity of novel 2-arylvinyl-4- aminoquinoline derivatives
-
With an aim to develop promising anti-tumor agents, a novel series of 2-arylvinyl-4-aminoquinoline derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicity against H-460, HT-29, HepG2 and SGC-7901 cell lines in vitro. The pharmacological results indicated that most compounds were more potent than the positive controls, especially compounds 8, 14 and 16 with IC50 values ranging from 0.05 to 0.85 μM against all tested cell lines respectively, which were 5.7- to 112-fold better than Iressa. The most active compound 14 (IC50 values of 0.05, 0.25, 0.16, 0.68 μM), bearing 4-fluorostyryl at C-2 position and 3-(dimethylamino)-1-propylamino at C-4 position, showed great promise as a lead for the development of more effective quinoline analogues.
