As STAT3 has been validated as an anticancer target, its inhibitors have been shown to possess therapeutic promise for the treatment of human cancers. To identify novel and selective STAT3 inhibitors, a virtual screening based on the STAT3 SH2 domain was performed and a small molecule, 2-phenylquinoline-4- carboxylic acid (5a), with an inhibition constant Ki value of 17.53 iM to STAT3 was discovered. On this basis, the derivatives of 5a including esters, amides and dimers were synthesized. The bioactivity and inhibitory selectivity of the derivatives were assayed using human breast cancer cell lines, MDA-MB-468 and MCF-7. Among the derivatives, 5c and 9b showed the most potent inhibitory activity with a good selectivity, and also inhibited STAT3 protein level of MDA-MB-468 cells. The results demonstrated a successful application of virtual screening for lead discovery. Compound 9b might be an effective STAT3 inhibitor lead for the further development of antitumor agents.

It is established that drugs targeting viral proteins are at risk of generating resistant strains. However, drugs targeting host factors can potentially avoid this problem. Herein, we report structure-activity relationship studies leading to the discovery

A series of quinoline inhibitors of C. albicans prolyl tRNA synthetase was identified. The most potent analogue, 2-(4bromo-phenyl)-6-chloro-8-methyl-4-quinolinecarboxylic acid, showed IC50=5 nM (Ca. ProRS) with high selectivity over the human enzyme.
