- GABAa receptor ligands often interact with binding sites in the transmembrane domain and in the extracellular domain—can the promiscuity code be cracked?
-
Many allosteric binding sites that modulate gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) effects have been described in heteropentameric GABA type A (GABAA) receptors, among them sites for benzodiazepines, pyrazoloquinolinones and etomidate. Diazepam not only binds at the high affinity extracellular “canonical” site, but also at sites in the transmembrane domain. Many ligands of the benzodiazepine binding site interact also with homologous sites in the extracellular domain, among them the pyrazoloquinolinones that exert modulation at extracellular α+/β? sites. Additional interaction of this chemotype with the sites for etomidate has also been described. We have recently described a new indole‐based scaffold with pharmacophore features highly similar to pyrazoloquinolinones as a novel class of GABAA receptor modulators. Contrary to what the pharmacophore overlap suggests, the ligand presented here behaves very differently from the identically substituted pyrazoloquinolinone. Structural evidence demonstrates that small changes in pharmacophore features can induce radical changes in ligand binding properties. Analysis of published data reveals that many chemotypes display a strong tendency to interact promiscuously with binding sites in the transmembrane domain and others in the extracellular domain of the same receptor. Further structural investigations of this phenomenon should enable a more targeted path to less promiscuous ligands, potentially reducing side effect liabilities.

- 3-(Benzo[: D] thiazol-2-yl)-4-aminoquinoline derivatives as novel scaffold topoisomerase i inhibitor via DNA intercalation: Design, synthesis, and antitumor activities
-
Twenty-seven 3-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-4-aminoquinoline derivatives have been designed and synthesized as topoisomerase I inhibitors. The in vitro anti-proliferation evaluation against four human cancer cell lines (MGC-803, HepG-2, T24, and NCI-H460) and one normal cell line (HL-7702) indicated that most of them exhibited potent cytotoxicity. Among them, 5a was identified as the most promising candidate with a low IC50 value of about 2.20 ± 0.14 and was selected for further exploration. Spectroscopic analyses and agarose-gel electrophoresis assays indicated that 5a could interact with DNA and strongly inhibit topoisomerase I (Topo I). Further screening of the Topo I activity of compounds 5b, 5c, 5e, 5f, 5h, 5i, 5j, 5l, and 5n suggested that some of the compounds might exert quite a different cytotoxicity profile to that of 5a. Molecular modeling studies confirmed that 5a adopts a unique mode to interact with DNA and Topo I. Other molecular mechanistic studies suggested that the treatment of MGC-803 cells with 5a induces S phase arrest, up-regulates the pro-apoptotic protein, down-regulates the anti-apoptotic protein, activates caspase-3, and subsequently induces mitochondrial dysfunction so as to induce cell apoptosis. The in vivo efficiency of 5a was also evaluated on MGC-803 xenograft nude mice and the relative tumor growth inhibition was 42.4percent at 12 mg kg-1 without an obvious loss in the body weight.

- Conjugate Addition Routes to 2-Alkyl-2,3-dihydroquinolin-4(1H)-ones and 2-Alkyl-4-hydroxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylates
-
Under CuBr·SMe2/PPh3 catalysis (5/10 mol-%) RMgCl (R = Me, Et, nPr, CH=CH2, nBu, iBu, nC5H11, cC6H11, Bn, CH2Bn, nC11H23) readily (–78 °C) undergo 1,4-addition to Cbz or Boc protected quinolin-4(1H)-ones to provide 2-alkyl-2,3-dihydroquinolin-4(1H)-ones (14 examples, 54–99 % yield). Asymmetric versions require AlEt3 to Boc-protected ethyl 6-substituted 4(1H)-quinolone-3-carboxylates (6-R group = all halogens, n/i/t-alkyls, CF3) and provide 61–91 % yield, 30–86 % ee; any halogen, Me, or CF3 provide the highest stereoselectivities (76–86 % ee). Additions of AlMe3 or Al(nC8H17)3 provide ≈ 45 and ≈ 75 % ee on addition to the parent (6-R = H). Ligand (S)-(BINOL)P–N(CHPh2)(cC6H11) provides the highest ee values engendering addition to the Si face of the 4(1H)-quinolone-3-carboxylate. Allylation and deprotection of a representative 1,4-addition product example confirm the facial selectivity (X-ray crystallography).

- Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel arylcarboxamide derivatives as anti-tubercular agents
-
Our group has previously reported several indolecarboxamides exhibiting potent antitubercular activity. Herein, we rationally designed several arylcarboxamides based on our previously reported homology model and the recently published crystal structure of the mycobacterial membrane protein large 3 (MmpL3). Many analogues showed considerable anti-TB activity against drug-sensitive (DS) Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) strain. Naphthamide derivatives 13c and 13d were the most active compounds in our study (MIC: 6.55, 7.11 μM, respectively), showing comparable potency to the first line anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) drug ethambutol (MIC: 4.89 μM). In addition to the naphthamide derivatives, we also identified the quinolone-2-carboxamides and 4-arylthiazole-2-carboxamides as potential MmpL3 inhibitors in which compounds 8i and 18b had MIC values of 9.97 and 9.82 μM, respectively. All four compounds retained their high activity against multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) M. tb strains. It is worth noting that the two most active compounds 13c and 13d also exhibited the highest selective activity towards DS, MDR and XDR M. tb strains over mammalian cells [IC50 (Vero cells) ≥ 227 μM], indicating their potential lack of cytotoxicity. The four compounds were docked into the MmpL3 active site and were studied for their drug-likeness using Lipinski's rule of five.

- Design, synthesis, in vitro and in silico studies of novel 4-oxoquinoline ribonucleoside derivatives as HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors
-
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is a public health problem that affects over 38 million people worldwide. Although there are highly active antiretroviral therapies, emergence of antiviral resistant strains is a problem which leads to almost a million death annually. Thus, the development of new drugs is necessary. The viral enzyme reverse transcriptase (RT) represents a validated therapeutic target. Because the oxoquinolinic scaffold has substantial biological activities, including antiretroviral, a new series of 4-oxoquinoline ribonucleoside derivatives obtained by molecular hybridization were studied here. All synthesized compounds were tested against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase (HIV-1 RT), and 9a and 9d displayed the highest antiviral activities, with IC50 values of 1.4 and 1.6 μM, respectively. These compounds were less cytotoxic than AZT and showed CC50 values of 1486 and 1394 μM, respectively. Molecular docking studies showed that the most active compounds bound to the allosteric site of the enzyme, suggesting a low susceptibility to the development of antiviral resistance. In silico pharmacokinetic and toxicological evaluations reinforced the potential of the active compounds as anti-HIV candidates for further exploration. Overall, this work showed that compounds 9a and 9d are promising scaffold for future anti-HIV-1 RT drug design.

- Antiviral activity of 4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxamide derivatives against bovine herpesvirus type 5
-
Background: Bovine herpesvirus type 5 is an important agent of meningoencephalitis in cattle and has been identified in outbreaks of bovine neurological disease in several Brazilian states. In recent years, oxoquinoline derivatives have become an important focus in antiviral drug research. Methods: The cytotoxicity and anti BoHV-5RJ42/01 activity of a set of synthetic 4-oxoquinoline derivatives 4a-k were assayed on Madin-Darby Bovine Kidney cell and antiviral activity by plaque reduction assay. Results: The most promising substance (4h) exhibited CC50 and EC50 values of 1,239 μM ±5.5 and 6.0 μM ±1.5, respectively, with an SI =206. Two other compounds 4j (CC50 = 35 μM ±2 and EC50 = 24 μM ±7.0) and 4k (CC50= 55 μM ±2 and EC50 = 24 μM ±5.1) presented similar inhibitory profile and selectivity indexes of 1.4 and 2.9, respectively. The results of the time-of-addition studies revealed expressive reduction of virus production (≥80%) in different stages of virus replication cycle except for compound 4h that slightly inhibited virus yield in the first 2 h post infection, but it showed expressive virus inhibition after this time. Conclusions: All three compounds slightly interact with the virus on the virucidal assay and they are not able to block virus attachment and penetration. Antiviral effect of oxoquinoline 4h was more prominent than acyclovir which leads us to suggest compound 4h as a promising molecule for further anti-BoHV-5 drug design.

- Quinolone-N-acylhydrazone hybrids as potent Zika and Chikungunya virus inhibitors
-
This work reports the synthesis of quinolone-N-acylhydrazone hybrids, namely 6-R-N'-(2-hydxoxybenzylidene)-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carbohydrazide (R = H: 5a, F: 5b, Cl: 5c and Br: 5d), which exhibited excellent activity against arbovirus Zika (ZIKV) and Chikungunya (CHIKV). In vitro screening towards ZIKV and CHIKV inhibition revealed that all substances have significant antiviral activity, most of them being more potent than standard Ribavirin (5a-d: EC50 = 0.75–0.81 μM, Ribavirin: EC50 = 3.95 μM for ZIKV and 5a-d: 1.16–2.85 μM, Ribavirin: EC50 = 2.42 μM for CHIKV). The quinolone-N-acylhydrazone hybrids were non-toxic against Vero cells, in which compounds 5c and 5d showed the best selectivities (SI = 1410 and 630 against ZIKV and CHIKV, respectively). Antiviral activity was identified by inhibition of viral RNA production in a dose-dependent manner. In the evaluation of the time of addition of the compounds, we observed that 5b and 5c remain with strong effect even in the addition for 12 h after infection. The above results indicate that quinolone-N-acylhydrazones represent a new and promising class to be further investigated as anti-ZIKV and anti-CHIKV agents.

- Design, synthesis and 2D QSAR study of novel pyridine and quinolone hydrazone derivatives as potential antimicrobial and antitubercular agents
-
The increased development of highly resistant bacterial strains and tuberculosis, constitute a serious public health threat, highlighting the urgent need of novel antibacterial agents. In this work, two novel series of nicotinic acid hydrazone derivatives (6a-r) and quinolone hydrazide derivatives (12a-l) were synthesized and evaluated as antimicrobial and antitubercular agents. The synthesized compounds were evaluated in vitro for their antibacterial, antifungal and antimycobacterial activities. Compounds 6f and 6p bearing the 3,4,5- (OCH3)3 and 2,5-(OCH3)2 benzylidene motifs were the most potent and as antibacterial, antifungal (MIC: 0.49–1.95 μg/mL) and (MIC: 0.49–0.98 μg/mL) respectively and antimycobacterial activity (MIC = 0.76 and 0.39 μg/mL) respectively. Besides, several derivatives, 6e, 6h, 6l-6o, 6q, 6r, 12a, 12b, 12e, 12h, 12k and 12l, exhibited significant antibacterial and antifungal activities with MIC values ranging from 1.95 to 7.81 μg/mL, they also displayed excellent to good activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis with MIC range from 0.39 to 3.12 μg/mL. In addition, some of the most active compounds were tested for cytotoxic activities against human lung fibroblast normal cells (WI-38) and displayed low toxicity. Moreover, 2D-QSAR models to characterize the descriptors controlling the observed activities, were generated and validated.

- Synthesis, cytotoxicity and mechanistic evaluation of 4-oxoquinoline-3- carboxamide derivatives: Finding new potential anticancer drugs
-
As part of a continuing search for new potential anticancer candidates, we describe the synthesis, cytotoxicity and mechanistic evaluation of a series of 4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxamide derivatives as novel anticancer agents. The inhibitory activity of compounds 10-18 was determined against three cancer cell lines using the MTT colorimetric assay. The screening revealed that derivatives 16b and 17b exhibited significant cytotoxic activity against the gastric cancer cell line but was not active against a normal cell line, in contrast to doxorubicin, a standard chemotherapeutic drug in clinical use. Interestingly, no hemolytical activity was observed when the toxicity of 16b and 17b was tested against blood cells. The in silico and in vitro mechanistic evaluation indicated the potential of 16b as a lead for the development of novel anticancer agents against gastric cancer cells.

- 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.

- Pharmacomodulations around the 4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxamides, a class of potent CB2-selective cannabinoid receptor ligands: Consequences in receptor affinity and functionality
-
CB2 receptor selective ligands are becoming increasingly attractive drugs due to the potential role of this receptor in several physiopathological processes. Thus, the development of our previously described series of 4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxamides was pursued with the aim to further characterize the structure-affinity and structure-functionality relationships of these derivatives. The influence of the side chain was investigated by synthesizing compounds bearing various carboxamido and keto substituents. On the other hand, the role of the quinoline central scaffold was studied by synthesizing several 6-, 7-, or 8-chloro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinolines, as well as 4-oxo-1,4-dihydronaphthyridine and 4-oxo-1,4-dihydrocinnoline derivatives. The effect of these modifications on the affinity and functionality at the CB2 receptor was studied and allowed for the characterization of new selective CB2 receptor ligands.

- Evaluation of 3-carboxy-4(1H)-quinolones as inhibitors of human protein kinase CK2
-
Due to the emerging role of protein kinase CK2 as a molecule that participates not only in the development of some cancers but also in viral infections and inflammatory failures, small organic inhibitors of CK2, besides application in scientific research, may have therapeutic significance. In this paper, we present a new class of CK2 inhibitors-3-carboxy-4(1H)-quinolones. This class of inhibitors has been selected via receptor-based virtual screening of the Otava compound library. It was revealed that the most active compounds, 5,6,8-trichloro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (7) (IC 50 = 0.3 μM) and 4-oxo-1,4-dihydrobenzo[h]quinoline-3-carboxylic acid (9) (IC50 = 1 μM), are ATP competitive (Ki values are 0.06 and 0.28 μM, respectively). Evaluation of the inhibitors on seven protein kinases shows considerable selectivity toward CK2. According to theoretical calculations and experimental data, a structural model describing the key features of 3-carboxy-4(1H)-quinolones responsible for tight binding to CK2 active site has been developed.

- 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.

- An NMR study of halogenated 1,4-dihydro-1-ethyl-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylates
-
Ethyl 1,4-dihydro-1-ethyl-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylate and 29 of its mono-, di-and tri-fluoro and/or -chloro derivatives were synthesized and their 1H, 13C and 19F NMR spectra were recorded. 1H, 13C and 19F chemical shifts, JHH, JFH, JCF and JFF coupling constants are reported. The 13C substituent chemical shift values of the chloro and fluoro substituents were calculated by linear multiple regression.
