- 1,2,3-Triazolyl-4-oxoquinolines: A feasible beginning for promising chemical structures to inhibit oseltamivir-resistant influenza A and B viruses
-
We described the synthesis of a new congener series of 1,2,3-triazolyl-4-oxoquinolines and evaluated their ability to inhibit oseltamivir (OST)-resistant influenza strains. Oxoquinoline derivative 1i was the most potent compound within this series, inhibiting 94% of wild-type (WT) influenza neuraminidase (NA) activity. Compound 1i inhibited influenza virus replication with an EC50 of 0.2 μM with less cytotoxicity than OST, and also inhibited different OST-resistant NAs. These results suggest that 1,2,3-triazolyl-4-oxoquinolines represent promising lead molecules for further anti-influenza drug design.

- An optimised series of substituted N-phenylpyrrolamides as DNA gyrase B inhibitors
-
ATP competitive inhibitors of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV have great therapeutic potential, but none of the described synthetic compounds has so far reached the market. To optimise the activities and physicochemical properties of our previously reported N-phenylpyrrolamide inhibitors, we have synthesized an improved, chemically variegated selection of compounds and evaluated them against DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes, and against selected Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The most potent compound displayed IC50 values of 6.9 nM against Escherichia coli DNA gyrase and 960 nM against Staphylococcus aureus topoisomerase IV. Several compounds displayed minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) against Gram-positive strains in the 1–50 μM range, one of which inhibited the growth of Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium, S. aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes with MIC values of 1.56 μM, 1.56 μM, 0.78 μM and 0.72 μM, respectively. This compound has been investigated further on methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and on ciprofloxacin non-susceptible and extremely drug resistant strain of S. aureus (MRSA VISA). It exhibited the MIC value of 2.5 μM on both strains, and MIC value of 32 μM against MRSA in the presence of inactivated human blood serum. Further studies are needed to confirm its mode of action.

- Structure-activity relationships for ferriprotoporphyrin IX association and β-hematin inhibition by 4-aminoquinolines using experimental and ab initio methods
-
In order to probe structure-activity relationships of association with ferriprotoporphyrin IX (log K) and inhibition of β-hematin formation, a series of 4-aminoquinolines with varying substituents at the 7-position (X) have been synthesized. These have been further elaborated by introduction of two different R groups on the 4-amino nitrogen atom in the form of methyl (R = Me) and ethylamine (R = EtNH2) side chains. Data for a previously investigated series containing an N,N-diethyl-ethylamine side chain were also compared with the findings of this study. Experimentally, log K values for the simple 4-aminoquinoline series (R = H) were found to correlate with the hydrophobicity constant (π) of the group X. The log K values for the series with R = Me and EtNH2 were found to correlate with those of the series with R = H. The log of the 50% β-hematin inhibitory activity (log BHIA50) was found to correlate with log K and either meta (σm) or para (σp) Hammett constants for the series with R = Me and EtNH2, but not the simple series with R = H. To further improve predictability, correlations with ab initio electrostatic parameters, namely Mulliken and CHelpG charges were investigated. The best correlations were found with CHelpG charges which indicated that log K values can be predicted from the charges on atom H-8 and the group X in the quinolinium species computed in vacuum, while log BHIA50 values can be predicted from the CHelpG charges on C-7, C-8 and N-1 for the neutral species in vacuum. These correlations indicate that association and inhibition of β-hematin formation are separately determined. They also suggest that electron withdrawing groups at the 7-position, but not necessarily hydrophobic groups are required for hemozoin inhibition. The upshot is that the correlations imply that considerably more hydrophilic hemozoin inhibitors are feasible.

- Oxoquinoline acyclonucleoside phosphonate analogues as a new class of specific inhibitors of human immunodeficiency virus type 1
-
The emergence of a multidrug-resistant HIV-1 strain and the toxicity of anti-HIV-1 compounds approved for clinical use are the most significant problems facing antiretroviral therapies. Therefore, it is crucial to find new agents to overcome these issues. In this study, we synthesized a series of new oxoquinoline acyclonucleoside phosphonate analogues (ethyl 1- [(diisopropoxyphosphoryl)methyl]-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylates 3a-3k), which contained different substituents at the C6 or C7 positions of the oxoquinoline nucleus and an N1-bonded phosphonate group. We subsequently investigated these compounds' in vitro inhibitory effects against HIV-1-infected peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The most active compounds were the fluoro-substituted derivatives 3f and 3g, which presented excellent EC 50 values of 0.4 ± 0.2 μM (3f) and 0.2 ± 0.005 μM (3g) and selectivity index values (SI) of 6240 and 14675, respectively.

- Synthesis and anti-HSV-1 activity of quinolonic acyclovir analogues
-
Several 1-[(2-hydroxy-ethoxy)methyl]-3-carbethoxy-4(1H)quinolones (2a-l) and l-[(2-hydroxy-ethoxy)methyl]-4(1H)quinolone-3-carboxylic acids (3a-j and 3l) were synthesized and 2a-j, 2l and 3a-j, 3l were evaluated against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), employing a one-pot reaction: silylation of the desired quinolone (BSTFA 1% TMCS) followed by equimolar amount addition of 1,3-dioxolane, chlorotrimethylsilane and KI, at room temperature. The acyclonucleosides 2a-l were obtained in 40-77% yields. The esters 2a-j and 2l were subsequently converted into the corresponding hydroxyacids 3 in 40-70% yields. Attempts of hydrolysis of 2k produced only a mixture of degradation products. Antiviral activity of 2 and 3 on HSV-1 virus infection was assessed by the virus yield assay. Except for compounds 2i and 3e, the acyclonucleosides were found to reduce the virus yield by 70-99% at the concentration of 50 μM, being the acids, in general, more effective inhibitors than their corresponding esters. Compounds 3j and 2d exhibited antiviral activity against HSV-1 virus with EC50 of 0.7 ± 0.04 and 0.8 ± 0.09 μM, respectively. Both compounds were not toxic towards the Vero cell line.

- Structural specificity of chloroquine-hematin binding related to inhibition of hematin polymerization and parasite growth
-
Considerable data now support the hypothesis that chloroquine (CQ)- hematin binding in the parasite food vacuole leads to inhibition of hematin polymerization and parasite death by hematin poisoning. To better understand the structural specificity of CQ-hematin binding, 13 CQ analogues were chosen and their hematin binding affinity, inhibition of hematin polymerization, and inhibition of parasite growth were measured. As determined by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), the stoichiometry data and exothermic binding enthalpies indicated that, like CQ, these analogues bind to two or more hematin μ-oxo dimers in a cofacial π-π sandwich-type complex. Association constants (K(a)'s) ranged from 0.46 to 2.9 x 105 M-1 compared to 4.0 x 105 M-1 for CQ. Remarkably, we were not able to measure any significant interaction between hematin μ-oxo dimer and 11, the 6-chloro analogue of CQ. This result indicates that the 7-chloro substituent in CQ is a critical structural determinant in its binding affinity to hematin μ-oxo dimer. Molecular modeling experiments reinforce the view that the enthalpically favorable π-π interaction observed in the CQ-hematin μ-oxo dimer complex derives from a favorable alignment of the out-of-plane π-electron density in CQ and hematin μ-oxo dimer at the points of intermolecular contact. For 4- aminoquinolines related to CQ, our data suggest that electron-withdrawing functional groups at the 7-position of the quinoline ring are required for activity against both hematin polymerization and parasite growth and that chlorine substitution at position 7 is optimal. Our results also confirm that the CQ diaminoalkyl side chain, especially the aliphatic tertiary nitrogen atom, is an important structural determinant in CQ drug resistance. For CQ analogues 1-13, the lack of correlation between K(a) and hematin polymerization IC50 values suggests that other properties of the CQ-hematin μ-oxo dimer complex, rather than its association constant alone, play a role in the inhibition of hematin polymerization. However, there was a modest correlation between inhibition of hematin polymerization and inhibition of parasite growth when hematin polymerization IC50 values were normalized for hematin μ-oxo dimer binding affinities, adding further evidence that antimalarial 4-aminoquinolines act by this mechanism.
