A new series of quinoline derivatives of combretastatin A-4 have been designed, synthesised and demonstrated as tubulin polymerisation inhibitors. These novel compounds showed significant antiproliferative activities, among them, 12c exhibited the most potent inhibitory activity against different cancer cell lines (MCF-7, HL-60, HCT-116 and HeLa) with IC50 ranging from 0.010 to 0.042 μM, and with selectivity profile against MCF-10A non-cancer cells. Further mechanistic studies suggest that 12c can inhibit tubulin polymerisation and cell migration, leading to G2/M phase arrest. Besides, 12c induces apoptosis via a mitochondrial-dependant apoptosis pathway and caused reactive oxygen stress generation in MCF-7 cells. These results provide guidance for further rational development of potent tubulin polymerisation inhibitors for the treatment of cancer.Highlights A novel series of quinoline derivatives of combretastatin A-4 have been designed and synthesised. Compound 12c showed significant antiproliferative activities against different cancer cell lines. Compound 12c effectively inhibited tubulin polymerisation and competed with [3H] colchicine in binding to tubulin. Compound 12c arrested the cell cycle at G2/M phase, effectively inducing apoptosis and inhibition of cell migration.

Based on the observed pharmacophoric structural features for the reported dual COX/15-LOX inhibitors and inspired by the abundance of COX/LOX inhibitory activities reported for the 1,2,4-triazine and quinoline scaffolds, we designed and synthesized novel 1,2,4-triazine-quinoline hybrids (8a-n). The synthesized hybrids were evaluated in vitro as dual COXs/15-LOX inhibitors. The new triazine-quinoline hybrids (8a-n) exhibited potent COX-2 inhibitory profiles (IC50 = 0.047–0.32 μM, SI ~ 20.6–265.9) compared to celecoxib (IC50 = 0.045 μM, SI ~ 326). Moreover, they revealed potent inhibitory activities against 15-LOX enzyme compared to reference quercetin (IC50 = 1.81–3.60 vs. 3.34 μM). Hybrid 8e was the most potent and selective dual COX-2/15-LOX inhibitor (COX-2 IC50 = 0.047 μM, SI = 265.9, 15-LOX IC50 = 1.81 μM). These hybrids were further challenged by their ability to inhibit NO, ROS, TNF-α, IL-6 inflammatory mediators, and 15-LOX product, 15-HETE, production in LPS-activated RAW 264.7 macrophages cells. Compound 8e was the most potent hybrid in reducing ROS and 15-HETE levels showing IC50 values of 1.02 μM (11-fold more potent than that of celecoxib, IC50 = 11.75 μM) and 0.17 μM (about 43 times more potent than celecoxib, IC50 = 7.46 μM), respectively. Hybrid 8h exhibited an outstanding TNF-α inhibition with IC50 value of 0.40 μM which was about 25 times more potent than that of celecoxib and diclofenac (IC50 = 10.69 and 10.27 μM, respectively). Docking study of the synthesized hybrids into the active sites of COX-2 and 15-LOX enzymes ensures their favored binding affinity. To our knowledge, herein we reported the first 1,2,4-triazine-quinoline hybrids as dual COX/15-LOX inhibitors.

The research on resveratrol (1) has been conducted intensively over a long time due to its proven antioxidant activity and disease-fighting capabilities. Many efforts have also been made to increase these biological effects. In the present study, six new extended aromatic resveratrol analogues containing naphthalene (2) and its bioisosteres quinoline (3 and 4), isoquinoline (5) quinoxaline (6) and quinazoline (7) scaffolds were designed and synthesized using an annulation strategy. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of these compounds were investigated. All compounds showed better antioxidant activity than resveratrol in ABTS assay. As for the anti-inflammatory test, 5 and 7 exhibited better activity than resveratrol. It is worth noting that nitrogen substitution on the extended aromatic resveratrol analogues has a significant impact on cell viability. Taking the antioxidant activities and NO inhibition activities into consideration, we conclude that isoquinoline analogue 5 may qualify for the further investigation of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory therapy. Furthermore, our study results suggest that in order to improve the biological activity of polyphenolic compounds, extended aromaticity and nitrogen substitution strategy could be a viable method for the design of future drug candidates.

PDE5 targeting represents a new and promising strategy for apoptosis induction and inhibition of tumor cell growth due to its over-expression in diverse types of human carcinomas. Accordingly, we report the synthesis of series of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one carrying quinoline moiety (11a-r) with potential dual PDE5 inhibition and apoptotic induction for cancer treatment. These hybrids were structurally elucidated and characterized with variant spectroscopic techniques as 1H NMR, 13C NMR and elemental analysis. The assessment of their anticancer activities has been declared. All the rationalized compounds 11a-r have been selected for their cytotoxic activity screening by NCI against 60 cell lines. Compounds 11a, 11b, 11j and 11k were the most active hybrids. Among all, compound 11j was further selected for five dose tesing and it displayed outstanding activity with strong antitumor activity against the nine tumor subpanels tested with selectivity ratios ranging from 0.019 to 8.3 at the GI50 level. Further, the most active targets 11a, b, j and k were screened for their PDE5 inhibitory activity, compound 11j (with IC50 1.57 nM) exhibited the most potent PDE5 inhibitory activity. Moreover, compound 11j is also showed moderate EGFR inhibition with IC50 of 5.827 ± 0.46 μM, but significantly inhibited the Wnt/β-catenin pathway with IC501286.96 ± 12.37 ng/mL. In addition, compound 11j induced the intrinsic apoptotic mitochondrial pathway in HepG2 cells as evidenced by the lower expression levels of the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein, and the higher expression of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax, p53, cytochrome c and the up-regulated active caspase-9 and caspase-3 levels. All results confirmed by western blotting assay. Compound 11j exhibit pre G1 apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase. In conclusion, hybridization of quinoline moiety with the privileged pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidinon-4-one structure resulted in highly potent anticancer agent, 11j, which deserves more study, in particular, in vivo and clinical investiagtions, and it is expected that these results would be applied for more drug discovery process.

A novel series of quinoline derivatives of combretastatin A-4 incorporating rigid hydrazone and a cyclic oxadiazole linkers were synthesized and have demonstrated potent tubulin polymerization inhibitory properties. Many of these novel derivatives have shown significant antiproliferative activities in the submicromolar range. The most potent compound, 19h, demonstrated superior IC50 values ranging from 0.02 to 0.04 μM against four cancer cell lines while maintaining low cytotoxicity in MCF-10A non-cancer cells, thereby suggesting 19h’s selectivity towards proliferating cancer cells. In addition to tubulin polymerization inhibition, 19h caused cell cycle arrest in MCF-7 cells at the G2/M phase and induced apoptosis. Collectively, these findings indicate that 19h holds potential for further investigation as a potent chemotherapeutic agent targeting tubulin.

Human sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) plays pivotal roles in multiple biological processes such as cell cycle regulation, autophagy, immune and inflammatory responses. Dysregulation of SIRT2 was considered as a main aspect contributing to several human diseases, including cancer. Development of new potent and selective SIRT2 inhibitors is currently desirable, which may provide a new strategy for treatment of related diseases. Herein, a structure-based optimization approach led to new 2-((4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)thio)-N-phenylacetamide derivatives as SIRT2 inhibitors. SAR analyses with new synthesized derivatives revealed a number of new potent SIRT2 inhibitors, among which 28e is the most potent inhibitor with an IC50 value of 42?nM. The selectivity analyses found that 28e has a very good selectivity to SIRT2 over SIRT1 and SIRT3. In cellular assays, 28e showed a potent ability to inhibit human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and increase the acetylation of α-tubulin in a dose-dependent manner. This study will aid further efforts to develop highly potent and selective SIRT2 inhibitors for the treatment of cancer and other related diseases.

Though malaria mortality rates are down 48% globally since 2000, reported occurrences of resistance against current therapeutics threaten to reverse that progress. Recently, antimalarials that were once considered unsuitable therapeutic agents have been revisited to improve physicochemical properties and efficacy required for selection as a drug candidate. One such compound is 4(1H)-quinolone ICI 56,780, which is known to be a causal prophylactic that also displays blood schizonticidal activity against P. berghei. Rapid induction of parasite resistance, however, stalled its further development. We have completed a full structure-activity relationship study on 4(1H)-quinolones, focusing on the reduction of cross-resistance with atovaquone for activity against the clinical isolates W2 and TM90-C2B, as well as the improvement of microsomal stability. These studies revealed several frontrunner compounds with superb in vivo antimalarial activity. The best compounds were found to be curative with all mice surviving a Plasmodium berghei infection after 30 days.

4-Anilinoquinazoline is a privileged scaffold in developing small molecule inhibitors of tyrosine kinases (TK) especially epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). 2 series belonging to 3'-substituted-4-anilinoquinazoline scaffold were synthesized and screened in vitro on isolated and a breast cancer cell line. The research aims at exploring the activity of compounds having diverse substituents at 3' position of the aniline moiety. Generally, the meta-substituted-anilinoquinazolines exhibited significant inhibitory activity against isolated enzyme as well as MCF-7 cancer cell line. For instance, compound 10b inhibited >99% of EGFR activities at 10 M concentration. 6 of the tested compounds exhibited range of anti-proliferative activity below 10 M potency. In particular, compounds 6e and 10b displayed the highest activity among the tested compounds with IC50 values equal to 8.6 and 4.84 M, respectively. Structure-based tools were utilized to rationalize EGFR-TK binding of compound 10b since it is the most active compound in the enzyme inhibition test. Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart.New York.
