Expanding the chemical space of quinolones led to a tandem quinolone-alkyne-cyclisation reaction allowing chemoselective control of the synthesis of tricyclic pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinolin-5-ones. Importantly, we discovered anti-protozoal activity against Plasmodium and Toxoplasma with specific potency of one of the compounds against the liver stage of the malaria parasite in the nanomolar range.

The pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces over 50 different quinolones, 16 of which belong to the class of 2-alkyl-4-quinolone N-oxides (AQNOs) with various chain lengths and degrees of saturation. We present the first synthesis of a previously proposed unsaturated compound that is confirmed to be present in culture extracts of P. aeruginosa, and its structure is shown to be trans-Δ1-2-(non-1-enyl)-4-quinolone N-oxide. This compound is the most active agent against S. aureus, including MRSA strains, by more than one order of magnitude whereas its cis isomer is inactive. At lower concentrations, the compound induces small-colony variants of S. aureus, reduces the virulence by inhibiting hemolysis, and inhibits nitrate reductase activity under anaerobic conditions. These studies suggest that this unsaturated AQNO is one of the major agents that are used by P. aeruginosa to modulate competing bacterial species.

Cathepsins, also known as lysosomal cysteine peptidases, are members of the papain-like peptidase family, involved in different physiological processes. In addition, cathepsins are implicated in many pathological conditions. This report describes the synthesis and evaluation of a series of N-arylanthranilic acids, acridones, and 4-quinolinones as inhibitors of cathepsins V and L. The kinetics revealed that compounds of the classes of acridones are reversible competitive inhibitors of the target enzyme with affinities in the low micromolar range. They represent promising lead candidates for the discovery of novel competitive cathepsin inhibitors with enhanced selectivity and potency. On the other hand, 4-quinolinones were noncompetitive inhibitors and N-arylanthranilic acids were uncompetitive inhibitors.
