- Synthesis and preliminary structure-activity relationship study of 2-aryl-2H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinolin-3-ones as potential checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1) inhibitors
-
The serine-threonine checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1) plays a critical role in the cell cycle arrest in response to DNA damage. In the last decade, Chk1 inhibitors have emerged as a novel therapeutic strategy to potentiate the anti-tumour efficacy of cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents. In the search for new Chk1 inhibitors, a congeneric series of 2-aryl-2 H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinolin-3-one (PQ) was evaluated by in-vitro and in-silico approaches for the first time. A total of 30 PQ structures were synthesised in good to excellent yields using conventional or microwave heating, highlighting that 14 of them are new chemical entities. Noteworthy, in this preliminary study two compounds 4e2 and 4h2 have shown a modest but significant reduction in the basal activity of the Chk1 kinase. Starting from these preliminary results, we have designed the second generation of analogous in this class and further studies are in progress in our laboratories.

- Structure-activity relationship investigations of the modulating effect of core substituents on the affinity of pyrazoloquinolinone congeners for the benzodiazepine receptor
-
A series of 6- and 7-substituted-2-arylpyrazolo [4,3-c] quinolin-3-ones was synthesized and tested in vitro for binding with the benzodiazepine receptor in competition with [3H]flunitrazepam. Electronic parameters (molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), charge distribution on the nitrogen atoms, dipole moment μ, and ionization potential (IP) were calculated for the compounds by semi-empirical quantum chemistry methods. Lipophilicity of the compounds, expressed as logarithm of the octanol-water partition coefficient (log P), was calculated by the program Pallas. A quantitative correlation of the biological data with molecular parameters revealed a significant dependence (r = 0.95) of the activity on hydrophobic constants of the substituents, log P, and magnitude of the MEP minimum associated with the carbonyl oxygen atom.
