There is an urgent need to develop new efficacious antimalarials to address the emerging drug-resistant clinical cases. Our previous phenotypic screening identified styrylquinoline UCF501 as a promising antimalarial compound. To optimize UCF501, we herein report a detailed structure-activity relationship study of 2-arylvinylquinolines, leading to the discovery of potent, low nanomolar antiplasmodial compounds against a Plasmodium falciparum CQ-resistant Dd2 strain, with excellent selectivity profiles (resistance index 200). Several metabolically stable 2-arylvinylquinolines are identified as fast-acting agents that kill asexual blood-stage parasites at the trophozoite phase, and the most promising compound 24 also demonstrates transmission blocking potential. Additionally, the monophosphate salt of 24 exhibits excellent in vivo antimalarial efficacy in the murine model without noticeable toxicity. Thus, the 2-arylvinylquinolines represent a promising class of antimalarial drug leads.

Aberrant overexpression of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNP K) is a key feature in oncogenesis and progression of many human cancers. hnRNP K has been found to be a transcriptional activator to up-regulate c-myc gene transcription, a critical proto-oncogene for regulation of cell growth and differentiation. Therefore, down-regulation of c-myc transcription by inhibiting hnRNP K through disrupting its binding to c-myc gene promoter is a potential approach for cancer therapy. In the present study, we synthesized and screened a series of Quinoline derivatives and evaluated their binding affinity for hnRNP K. Among these derivatives, (E)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-(4-morpholino-6-nitroquinolin-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (compound 25) was determined to be the first-reported hnRNP K binding ligand with its KD values of 4.6 and 2.6 μM measured with SPR and MST, respectively. Subsequent evaluation showed that the binding of compound 25 to hnRNP K could disrupt its unfolding of c-myc promoter i-motif, resulting in down-regulation of c-myc transcription. Compound 25 showed a selective anti-proliferative effect on human cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranged from 1.36 to 3.59 μM. Compound 25 exhibited good tumor growth inhibition in a Hela xenograft tumor model, which might be related to its binding with hnRNP K. These findings illustrated that inhibition of DNA-binding protein hnRNP K by compound 25 could be a new and selective strategy of regulating oncogene transcription instead of targeting promoter DNA secondary structures such as G-quadruplexes or i-motifs.

A green and efficient synthesis of 4-heteryl-quinolines (9a, 9b, 9c, 9d), (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) and (11a, 11b, 11c, 11d) has been described using PEG-600 as a green solvent. Initially, 4-chloro-2-methylquinolines (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d) on reaction with aromatic heterocyclic thiols (6), (7), and (8) using PEG-600 at 100°C for 30–40 min resulted in (9), (10), and (11) in good yields. Alternatively, (9), (10), and (11) could also be prepared in dimethylformamide using K2CO3 as base and tetrabutylammonium bromide as phase transfer catalyst at 100°C for 1–2 h. All the compounds were synthesized and characterized by IR, NMR, mass spectroscopy, and 13C NMR analysis. All synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity against clinical strains that include Gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis MTCC 121, staphylococcus aureus MLS-16 MTCC 2940, Micrococcus lutes MTCC 2470, and Staphylococcus aureus MTCC 96) and Gram-negative bacteria (Candida albicans MTCC 3017, Klebsiella planticola MTCC 530, Escherichia coli MTCC 739, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa MTCC 2453). The results revealed that compounds (9a, 9d, 10a, 10c, 11b, and 11d) exhibited significant antibacterial activity almost equal to the standard drug, that is, Ciprofloxacin.

In an attempt to develop newer antitubercular and antibacterial agents against the increasing bacterial resistance, we have designed new quinoline–pyrazole analogs (8a–u) following the molecular hybridization approach. The structure of one of the final compounds, 8a was unambiguously confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) analysis. The target compounds were evaluated for their antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and antibacterial activity against three common pathogenic bacterial strains. Four derivatives (8b, 8c, 8j and 8o) displayed significant antitubercular activity. The compounds derived from 8-trifluoromethylquinoline and 6-fluoroquinoline scaffolds with halogen substitution on the pyrazole ring exhibited superior inhibition activity than corresponding 6-methoxyquinoline analogs. The cytotoxic studies revealed that the active compounds are nontoxic to normal Vero cell lines with selectivity index values ≥10, which indicate the suitability of these compounds for further drug development. The in silico molecular docking study demonstrated strong binding affinity of the compounds with the target enzymes (InhA, CYP121 and TMPK) of M. tuberculosis. Further, the in vitro antibacterial activity of compounds 8b, 8c, 8d and 8g is comparable with that of the reference drug, Ciprofloxacin.

A series of N1-{4-[(10S)-dihydroartemisinin- 10-oxyl]}phenylmethylene-N2-(2-methylquinoline-4-yl) hydrazine derivatives 9a-9n possessing 4-quinolylhydrazone and artemisinin cores were herein synthesized and evaluated for their activities against cysteine protease falcipain- 2 of Plasmodium falciparum. The structures were clearly confirmed by elemental analysis, 1H NMR, and mass spectra. The pharmacological results indicated that all compounds showed excellent activity against recombinant falcipain-2 (IC50 = 0.15-2.28 μM). The best one of this series was compound 9d (IC50 = 0.15 μM). The molecular docking results showed that the compound 9d made close contact with the key active site of cysteine protease falcipain-2.

experimental part, p. 659 - 664 (2012/06/29)
With an aim to develop promising anti-tumor agents, a novel series of 2-arylvinyl-4-aminoquinoline derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicity against H-460, HT-29, HepG2 and SGC-7901 cell lines in vitro. The pharmacological results indicated that most compounds were more potent than the positive controls, especially compounds 8, 14 and 16 with IC50 values ranging from 0.05 to 0.85 μM against all tested cell lines respectively, which were 5.7- to 112-fold better than Iressa. The most active compound 14 (IC50 values of 0.05, 0.25, 0.16, 0.68 μM), bearing 4-fluorostyryl at C-2 position and 3-(dimethylamino)-1-propylamino at C-4 position, showed great promise as a lead for the development of more effective quinoline analogues.

Two series of novel 2-substituted-4-amino-6-halogenquinolines 8a-l and 13a-h were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against H-460, HT-29, HepG2 and SGC-7901 cancer cell lines in vitro. The pharmacological results indicated that most compounds with 2-arylvinyl substituents exhibited good to excellent antiproliferative activity. Among them, compound 8e was a considered promising lead for further structural modifications with IC50 values of 0.03 μM, 0.55 μM, 0.33 μM and 1.24 μM, which was 2.5- to 186-fold more active than gefitinib and compound 1.
