Study on the regioselectivity of the N-ethylation reaction of N-benzyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxamide

4-Oxoquinolines are a class of organic substances of great importance in medicinal chemistry, due to their biological and synthetic versatility. N-1-Alkylated-4-oxoquinoline derivatives have been associated with different pharmacological activities such as antibacterial and antiviral. The presence of a carboxamide unit connected to carbon C-3 of the 4-oxoquinoline core has been associated with various biological activities. Experimentally, the N-ethylation reaction of N-benzyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carbox-amide occurs at the nitrogen of the oxoquinoline group, in a regiosselective way. In this work, we employed DFT methods to investigate the regiosselective ethylation reaction of N-benzyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxamide, evaluating its acid/base behavior and possible reaction paths.

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.

Breaking and Making of Rings: A Method for the Preparation of 4-Quinolone-3-carboxylic Acid Amides and the Expensive Drug Ivacaftor

A simple and convenient method to access 4-quinolone-3-carboxylic acid amides from indole-3-acetic acid amides through one-pot oxidative cleavage of the indole ring followed by condensation (Witkop-Winterfeldt type oxidation) was explored. The scope of the method was confirmed with more than 20 examples and was successfully applied to the synthesis of the drug Ivacaftor, the most expensive drug on the market.
