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.

Cyclophilin A (CypA) is a member of cyclophilins, a family of the highly homologous peptidyl prolyl cis-trans isomerases (PPIases), which can bind to cyclosporin A (CsA). CypA plays critical roles in various biological processes, including protein folding, assembly, transportation, regulation of neuron growth, and HIV replication. The discovery of CypA inhibitor is now of a great special interest in the treatment of immunological disorders. In this study, a series of novel small molecular CypA inhibitors have been discovered by using structure-based virtual screening in conjunction with chemical synthesis and bioassay. The SPECS_1 database containing 85,000 small molecular compounds was searched by virtual screening against the crystal structure of human CypA. After SPR-based binding affinity assay, 15 compounds were found to show binding affinities to CypA at submicro-molar or micro-molar level (compounds 1-15). Seven compounds were selected as the starting point for the further structure modification in considering binding activity, synthesis difficulty, and structure similarity. We thus synthesized 40 new small molecular compounds (1-6, 15, 16a-q, 17a-d, and 18a-l), and four of which (compounds 16b, 16h, 16k, and 18g) showed high CypA PPIase inhibition activities with IC50s of 2.5-6.2 μM. Pharmacological assay indicated that these four compounds demonstrated somewhat inhibition activities against the proliferation of spleen cells.

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.
