A series of 1,2,3-triazole derivatives based on the quinoline–benzimidazole hybrid scaffold was designed, synthesized, and screened against a panel of NCI-60 humanoid cancer cell lines for in vitro cytotoxicity evaluation, which revealed that compound Q6 was the most potent cytotoxic agent with excellent GI50, TGI, and LC50 values on multiple cancer cell lines. Q6 was tested further on the BT-474 breast cancer line to evaluate the mechanism of action. Preliminary screening studies based on the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay revealed that compound Q6 had an excellent antiproliferative effect against human breast cancer cells, BT-474, with IC50 values of 0.59 ± 0.01 μM. The detailed study based on the acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining (AO/EB) and the 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) assay suggested that the antiproliferative activity shown was due to the induction of apoptosis on exposure to Q6. Further, DCFDA staining showed the generation of reactive oxygen species, altering the mitochondrial potential and leading to the initiation of apoptosis. This was further supported by JC-1 staining, indicating that this scaffold can contribute to the development of more potent derivatives.

We have developed a synthesis and examined the conformational behavior and recognition properties of dynamic molecular containers 1-3. As follows from the 1H NMR dilution, diffusion NMR, and vapor pressure osmometry measurements, compound 1 has a low affinity for intermolecular aggregation and is mostly present in monomeric form in dilute chloroform solutions. Inspecting the O-H chemical shift resonances of 1, 3, and model compound 4 as a function of temperature afforded the Δδ/ΔT coefficients of 17.0, 17.3, and 4.7 ppb K-1, respectively. In combination with the results from variable temperature 1H NMR and IR measurements, the existence of conformers of 1 and 3 in equilibrium, each having a different extent of hydrogen bonding, was confirmed. Molecular mechanics calculations suggested 1 a as the most favorable conformation, with three additional conformers, 1b, 1C, and 1d, populating local energy minima. Further optimization of each of the four conformers using semiempirical PM3 and ab initio (HF/6-31G*) methods allowed a determination of their relative free energies and the corresponding Boltzmann population distributions which were heavily weighted toward 1a. A computed composite IR spectrum of a fraction-weighted mixture of the conformers of 1 reproduced the experimentally observed IR spectrum in its structural features, leading to a conclusion that conformer 1a indeed dominates the equilibrium. The egg-shaped cavity of 1 (136.6 A3) is complementary in size, shape, and electrostatic potential to chloroform (74.9 A3). A single-crystal X-ray study of 2 revealed a disordered chloroform molecule positioned inside the cavitand along its C3, axis.
