A series of novel bisquinoline derivatives connected by a 4-oxy-3-fluoroaniline moiety were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antitumour activities against a panel of five cancer cell lines (H460, HT-29, MKN-45, U87MG, and SMMC-7721). Most of compounds tested showed a potent activity and high selectivity towards the H460 and MKN-45 cell lines. Among the compounds tested, six (15d, 15e, 15m, 15n, 16a, and 16i) were further examined for their c-Met kinase activity; the compounds showed high efficacy with IC 50 values in the single-digit nM range. An analysis of structure-activity relationships indicated that an unsubstituted or a halogen-substituted phenyl ring on the 2-arylquinoline-4-carboxamide moiety was favourable for antitumour activity.

A novel class of potent and selective non-peptide neurokinin-3 (NK-3) receptor antagonists, featuring the 4-quinolinecarboxamide framework, has been designed based upon chemically diverse NK-1 receptor antagonists. The novel compounds 33-76, prompted by chemical modifications of the prototype 4, have been characterized by binding analysis using a membrane preparation of chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing the human neurokinin-3 receptors (hNK-3-CHO), and clear structure-activity relationships (SARs) have been established. From SARs, (R)-N-[α-(methoxycarbonyl)benzyl]-2- phenylquinoline-4-carboxamide (65, SB 218795, hNK-3-CHO binding K(i) = 13 nM) emerged as one of the most potent compounds of this novel class. Selectivity studies versus the other neurokinin receptors (hNK-2-CHO and hNK-1-CHO) revealed that 65 is about 90-fold selective for hNK-3 versus hNK-2 receptors (hNK-2-CHO binding K(i) = 1221 nM) and over 7000-fold selective versus hNK-1 receptors (hNK-1-CHO binding K(i) = >100 μM). In vitro functional studies in rabbit isolated iris sphincter muscle preparation demonstrated that 65 is a competitive antagonist of the contractile response induced by the potent and selective NK-3 receptor agonist senktide with a K(b) = 43 nM. Overall, the data indicate that 65 is a potent and selective hNK-3 receptor antagonist and a useful lead for further chemical optimization.
