- Synthesis and antileishmanial evaluation of thiazole orange analogs
-
Cyanine compounds have previously shown excellent in vitro and promising in vivo antileishmanial efficacy, but the potential toxicity of these agents is a concern. A series of 22 analogs of thiazole orange ((Z)-1-methyl-4-((3-methylbenzo[d]thiazol-2(3H)-ylidene)methyl)quinolin-1-ium salt), a commercial cyanine dye with antileishmanial activity, were synthesized in an effort to increase the selectivity of such compounds while maintaining efficacy. Cyanines possessing substitutions on the quinolinium ring system displayed potency against Leishmania donovani axenic amastigotes that differed little from the parent compound (IC50 12–42 nM), while ring disjunction analogs were both less potent and less toxic. Changes in DNA melting temperature were modest when synthetic oligonucleotides were incubated with selected analogs (ΔTm ≤ 5 °C), with ring disjunction analogs showing the least effect on this parameter. Despite the high antileishmanial potency of the target compounds, their toxicity and relatively flat SAR suggests that further information regarding the target(s) of these molecules is needed to aid their development as antileishmanials.

- Synthesis of carbon-11-labeled casimiroin analogues as new potential PET agents for imaging of quinone reductase 2 and aromatase expression in breast cancer
-
Carbon-11-labeled casimiroin analogues were first designed and synthesized as new potential PET agents for imaging of quinone reductase (QR) 2 and aromatase expression in breast cancer. [11C]casimiroin (6-[ 11C]methoxy-9-methyl-[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-h]quinolin-8(9H)-one, [ 11C]11) and its carbon-11-labeled analogues 5,6,8-trimethoxy-1-[ 11C]methyl-4-methylquinolin-2(1H)-one ([11C]17), 8-methoxy-1-[11C]methyl-4-methylquinolin-2(1H)-one ([ 11C]21a), 6,8-dimethoxy-1-[11C]methyl-4-methylquinolin- 2(1H)-one ([11C]21b), and 5,8-dimethoxy-1-[11C]methyl-4- methylquinolin-2(1H)-one ([11C]21c), were prepared from their corresponding precursors with [11C]methyl triflate ([ 11C]CH3OTf) under basic conditions (NaH) through either O- or N-[11C]methylation and isolated by semi-preparative HPLC method in 40-50% radiochemical yields decay corrected to end of bombardment (EOB), based on [11C]CO2, and 111-185 GBq/μmol specific activity at the end of synthesis (EOS).

- Characterization of 4-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinolin-6-yl acetate as an effective antiplatelet agent
-
We have studied earlier a membrane bound novel enzyme Acetoxy Drug: protein transacetylase identified as Calreticulin Transacetylase (CRTAase) that catalyzes the transfer of acetyl groups from polyphenolic acetates (PAs) to the receptor proteins and thus modulating their biological activities. In this communication, we have reported for the first time that acetoxy quinolones are endowed with antiplatelet action by virtue of causing CRTAase catalyzed activation of platelet Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) by way of acetylation leading to the inhibition of ADP/Arachidonic acid (AA)-dependent platelet aggregation. The correlation of specificity of platelet CRTAase to various analogues of acetoxy quinolones with intracellular NO and consequent effect on inhibition of platelet aggregation was considered crucial. Among acetoxy quinolones screened, 6-AQ (4-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinolin-6-yl acetate/6-acetoxyquinolin-2-one, 22) was found to be the superior substrate to platelet CRTAase and emerged as the most active entity to produce antiplatelet action both in vitro and in vivo. 6-AQ caused the inhibition of cyclooxygenase-1 (Cox-1) resulting in the down regulation of thromboxane A2 (TxA2) and the inhibition of platelet aggregation. Structural modification of acetoxy quinolones positively correlated with enhancement of intracellular NO and antiplatelet action.

- Synthesis of casimiroin and optimization of its quinone reductase 2 and aromatase inhibitory activities
-
An efficient method has been developed to synthesize casimiroin (1), a component of the edible fruit of Casimiroa edulis, on a multigram scale in good overall yield. The route was versatile enough to provide an array of compound 1 analogues that were evaluated as QR2 and aromatase inhibitors. In addition, X-ray crystallography studies of QR2 in complex with compound 1 and one of its more potent analogues has provided insight into the mechanism of action of this new series of QR2 inhibitors. The initial biological investigations suggest that compound 1 and its analogues merit further investigation as potential chemopreventive or chemotherapeutic agents.

- Knorr cyclizations and distonic superelectrophiles
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) The acid-catalyzed Knorr cyclization has been studied by experimental and theoretical methods. The results of these studies indicate that β-ketoamides such as acetoacetanilide undergo diprotonation at the two carbonyl oxygen atoms to form distonic superelectrophiles. Direct observation of a dicationic superelectrophile was achieved by low-temperature 1H, 15N, and 13C NMR from FSO 3H-SbF5-SO2ClF solutions. In synthetic studies, the Bronsted superacid CF3SO3H is found to be an effective acid catalyst for the Knorr cyclization.

- Substituent effects on absorption and fluorescence spectra of carbostyrils
-
Absorption and fluorescence spectra as well as quantum yields of a series of differently substituted carbostyrils (quinolin-2(1H)-ones) are reported. Especially for compounds containing donor substituents in position 6, substantial bathochromic shifts (comparable to analogous coumarins) of both absorption as well as fluorescence transitions are obtained. High absorption intensities and quantum yields are found for 7-donor substituted isomers. Semiempirical molecular orbital calculations (AMI for structures, ZINDO for electronic transition energies) prove to be a suitable tool for the prediction of absorption and fluorescence properties of these compounds. Ab initio and density functional calculations establish the lactam form as the dominant tautomer of the parent quinolin-2(1H)-one.

- 2,4-Diamino-5-benzylpyrimidines and analogues as antibacterial agents. 10. 2,4-Diamino-5-(6-quinolylmethyl)- and -[(tetrahydro-6-quinolyl)methyl]pyrimidine derivatives. Further specificity studies
-
A series of 18 2,4-diamino-5-[(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6-quinolyl)methyl]pyrimidines has been prepared by the condensation of 2,4-diamino-5-(hydroxymethyl)pyrimidine with 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines in acidic medium. Several derivatives were catalytically aromatized; others were synthesized from these by routine aromatic substitution or by condensations of (anilinomethyl)pyrimidines to give quinolinylmethyl analogues. Compounds with 4-methyl-8-methoxy substitution are closely related to trimethoprim (1a) in structure and are excellent inhibitors of bacterial dihydrofolate reductase, with activity at least equivalent to that of 1a. The highest degree of inhibition was achieved with the rigid aromatic series, but greater specificity was accomplished among the tetrahydroquinoline derivatives. This was directly related to N-1 substitution of 4-methyl-8-methoxy derivatives. The spatial relationships around N-1 and protonation at this site may both affect selectivity. Such compounds also had excellent broad-spectrum in vitro antibacterial activity.
