Azzman N, Anwar S, Syazani Mohamed WA, Ahemad N. Quinolone Derivatives as Anticancer Agents: Importance in Medicinal Chemistry. Curr Top Med Chem 2024; 24:1134-1157. [PMID: 38591202 DOI: 10.2174/0115680266300736240403075307] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024]
Abstract
Quinolone is a heterocyclic compound containing carbonyl at the C-2 or C-4 positions with nitrogen at the C-1 position. The scaffold was first identified for its antibacterial properties, and the derivatives were known to possess many pharmacological activities, including anticancer. In this review, the quinolin-2(H)-one and quinolin-4(H)-one derivatives were identified to inhibit several various proteins and enzymes involved in cancer cell growth, such as topoisomerase, microtubules, protein kinases, phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K) and histone deacetylase (HDAC). Hybrids of quinolone with curcumin or chalcone, 2-phenylpyrroloquinolin-4-one and 4-quinolone derivatives have demonstrated strong potency against cancer cell lines. Additionally, quinolones have been explored as inhibitors of protein kinases, including EGFR and VEGFR. Therefore, this review aims to consolidate the medicinal chemistry of quinolone derivatives in the pipeline and discuss their similarities in terms of their pharmacokinetic profiles and potential target sites to provide an understanding of the structural requirements of anticancer quinolones.

Abstract
A series of small-molecule fluoroquinolones were synthesized, characterized by HRMS and NMR spectroscopy, and screened for their antibacterial activity against MRSA, P. aeruginosa, and E. coli as model G+/G− pathogens. Compounds 2-e, 3-e, and 4-e were more potent than the reference drug balofloxacin against MRSA and P. aeruginosa (MIC values of 0.0195 and 0.039 μg/ml for 2-e, 0.039 and 0.078 μg/ml for each of 3-e and 4-e, respectively). Analysis of the time-dependent antibacterial effect of compound 2-e toward MRSA showed that in the early logarithmic growth phase, bactericidal effects occurred, while in the late logarithmic growth phase, bacterial inhibition occurred because of concentration effects and possibly the development of drug resistance. Compound 2-e exhibited low toxicity toward normal mammalian cell lines 3T3 and L-02 and tumor cell lines A549, H520, BEL-7402, and MCF-7. The compound was not hemolytic. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed that compound 2-e could effectively destroy the membrane and wall of MRSA cells, resulting in the outflow of the cellular contents. Docking studies indicated the good binding profile of these compounds toward DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. ADMET’s prediction showed that most of the synthesized compounds followed Lipinski’s “rule of five” and possessed good drug-like properties. Our data suggested that compound 2-e exhibited potent anti-MRSA activity and is worthy of further investigation.

Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26206203. [PMID: 34684786 PMCID: PMC8540437 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26206203] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2021] [Revised: 10/07/2021] [Accepted: 10/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Two targeted sets of novel 1,5-diaryl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acids 10 and carbohydrazides 11 were designed and synthesized from their corresponding ester intermediates 17, which were prepared via cycloaddition of ethyl isocyanoacetate 16 and diarylimidoyl chlorides 15. Evaluation of these new target scaffolds in the AlphaScreenTM HIV-1 IN-LEDGF/p75 inhibition assay identified seventeen compounds exceeding the pre-defined 50% inhibitory threshold at 100 µM concentration. Further evaluation of these compounds in the HIV-1 IN strand transfer assay at 100 μM showed that none of the compounds (with the exception of 10a, 10l, and 11k, with marginal inhibitory percentages) were actively bound to the active site, indicating that they are selectively binding to the LEDGF/p75-binding pocket. In a cell-based HIV-1 antiviral assay, compounds 11a, 11b, 11g, and 11h exhibited moderate antiviral percentage inhibition of 33–45% with cytotoxicity (CC50) values of >200 µM, 158.4 µM, >200 µM, and 50.4 µM, respectively. The antiviral inhibitory activity displayed by 11h was attributed to its toxicity. Upon further validation of their ability to induce multimerization in a Western blot gel assay, compounds 11a, 11b, and 11h appeared to increase higher-order forms of IN.

Abstract
As part of a continuing search for new potential anticancer candidates, we describe the synthesis, cytotoxicity and mechanistic evaluation of a series of 4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxamide derivatives as novel anticancer agents. The inhibitory activity of compounds 10–18 was determined against three cancer cell lines using the MTT colorimetric assay. The screening revealed that derivatives 16b and 17b exhibited significant cytotoxic activity against the gastric cancer cell line but was not active against a normal cell line, in contrast to doxorubicin, a standard chemotherapeutic drug in clinical use. Interestingly, no hemolytical activity was observed when the toxicity of 16b and 17b was tested against blood cells. The in silico and in vitro mechanistic evaluation indicated the potential of 16b as a lead for the development of novel anticancer agents against gastric cancer cells.

Abstract
Naphthyridine compounds are important, because they exhibit various biological activities including anticancer, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory activity. Some naphthyridines have antimitotic effects or demonstrate anticancer activity by inhibiting topoisomerase II. These compounds have been investigated as potential anticancer agents, and several compounds are now part of clinical trials. A series of naphthyridine derivatives were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activities against human cervical cancer (HeLa), leukemia (HL-60), and prostate cancer (PC-3) cell lines using an MTT assay. Some compounds (14, 15, and 16) were more potent than colchicine against all three human cancer cell lines and compound (16) demonstrated potency with IC50 values of 0.7, 0.1, and 5.1 µM, respectively. Comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) were used for quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) molecular modeling of these compounds. We obtained accurate and predictive three-dimensional QSAR (3D-QSAR) models as indicated by the high PLS parameters of the HeLa (q(2), 0.857; r(2), 0.984; r(2) pred, 0.966), HL-60 (q(2), 0.777; r(2), 0.937; r(2) pred, 0.913), and PC-3 (q(2), 0.702; r(2), 0.983; r(2) pred, 0.974) cell lines. The 3D-QSAR contour maps suggested that the C-1 NH and C-4 carbonyl group of the naphthyridine ring and the C-2 naphthyl ring were important for cytotoxicity in all three human cancer cell lines.

Abstract
New 6- (or 6,7-) substituted 2-(hydroxyl substituted phenyl)quinolin-4-one derivatives were synthesized and screened for antiproliferative effects against cancer cell lines. Structure-activity relationship correlations were established and the most promising compound 2-(3-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)-6-pyrrolidin-1-ylquinolin-4-one (6h) exhibited strong inhibitory activity against various human cancer cell lines, particularly non-small cell lung cancer NCI-H522. Additional studies suggested a mechanism of action resembling that of the antimitotic drug vincristine. The presence of a C-ring OH group in 6h will allow this compound to be converted readily to a water soluble and physicochemically stable hydrophilic prodrug. Compound 6h is proposed as a new anticancer lead compound.

Abstract
Three recently developed selective phospholipase D (PLD) inhibitors N-(2-(4-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)piperidin-1-yl)ethyl)-2-naphthamide (VU0155056), (S)-N-(1-(4-(5-chloro-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)piperidin-1-yl)propan-2-yl)-2-naphthamide (VU0155069), and N-(2-(4-oxo-1-phenyl-1,3,8-triazaspiro[4,5]decan-8-yl)ethyl)quinoline-3-carboxamide (VU0285655-1) inhibited O2 (•-) generation in formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP)-stimulated rat neutrophils. A novel 2-phenyl-4-quinolone compound 6-chloro-2-(2-chlorophenyl)-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylate (Fal-002-2), which inhibited O2 (•-) generation, also reduced the fMLP- but not phorbol ester-stimulated PLD activity (IC50 16.0 ± 5.0 μM). Fal-002-2 attenuated the interaction of PLD1 with ADP-ribosylation factor (Arf) 6, Ras homology (Rho) A and protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms (α, βI, and βII), and also inhibited the membrane recruitment of Arf6 and RhoA in fMLP-stimulated neutrophils, but not in GTPγS-stimulated cell-free system. The cellular levels of GTP-bound Arf6 and GTP-bound RhoA were reduced by Fal-002-2. Fal-002-2 also attenuated the membrane recruitment of Rho-associated protein kinase 1, phosphorylation of myosin light chain 2 at Thr18/Ser19 and PLD1 at Thr147, and the interaction of Arf6 with both arfaptin 1 and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase 1A. The association between RhoA and Vav, the interaction of Vav with both Lyn and Lck, the membrane recruitment of Vav, and the phosphorylation of Vav at Tyr174, but not Src family at Tyr416, were all attenuated by Fal-002-2 in fMLP-stimulated neutrophils. These results indicate that Fal-002-2 is not a direct PLD inhibitor, but the inhibition of fMLP-stimulated PLD activity by Fal-002-2, which partly accounts for its suppression of O2 (•-) generation, is attributable to the blockade of both Arf6 and RhoA activation and attenuation of the interaction of Arf6, RhoA and PKC isoforms with PLD1 in rat neutrophils.

Abstract
2-(3-Alkylaminophenyl)-6-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)quinolin-4-ones 1-3 were synthesized and screened for anti-proliferative activity against three human cancer cell lines, as well as the normal cell line Detroit 551. All of the synthesized target compounds 1-3 demonstrated potent cytotoxic activity against the cancer cell lines, but weak inhibitory activity toward the normal cell line. 2-(3-Methyl aminophenyl)-6-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)quinolin-4-one (1), one of the potent compounds in vitro, was also tested in an in vivo Hep3B xenograft nude mice model, and its significant anticancer activity was reconfirmed. Therefore, compound 1 merits further investigation as an antitumor clinical trial candidate and potential anticancer agent.

Inhibition of formyl peptide-stimulated superoxide anion generation by Fal-002-2 occurs mainly through the blockade of the p21-activated kinase and protein kinase C signaling pathways in ratneutrophils. Eur J Pharmacol 2013; 701:114-23.

Abstract
In formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP)-stimulated rat neutrophils, a synthetic compound, 6-chloro-2-(2-chlorophenyl)-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylate (Fal-002-2), inhibited superoxide anion (O2(•-)) generation with an IC50 value of about 11μM, which was not mediated by scavenging the generated O2(•-) or by a cytotoxic effect on neutrophils. Fal-002-2 effectively attenuated the phosphorylation of Ser residues in p47(phox) and the association between p47(phox) and p22(phox) in fMLP-stimulated neutrophils. The interaction of p47(phox) with protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms (α, βI, βII, δ and ζ) was attenuated by Fal-002-2 with a similar IC50 value to that required for inhibition of O2(•-) generation, whereas Fal-002-2 had no prominent effect on PKC isoform membrane translocation and did not affect the kinase activity. Moreover, Fal-002-2 had no effect on the phosphorylation of Akt and downstream glycogen synthase kinase-3β, only slightly affected the intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration, phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), but effectively attenuated the downstream MAPK-activated protein kinase-2 phosphorylation. The interaction of p21-activated kinase (PAK) 1with p47(phox), phosphorylation of PAK1 (Thr423/Ser144) and the membrane recruitment of PAK1 were effectively inhibited by Fal-002-2. Fal-002-2 also blocked the activation of Rac1 and Cdc42 in a concentration range that effectively inhibited PAK activation. Taken together, these results suggest that Fal-002-2 inhibits fMLP-stimulated O2(•-) generation in neutrophils mainly through the blockade of PKC and PAK signaling pathways and partly through p38 MAPK signaling.

Abstract
Malaria is a protozoal parasitic disease that is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, and the Americas and causes more than 800,000 deaths per year. The continuing emergence of multidrug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum drives the ongoing need for the development of new and effective antimalarial drugs. Our previous work has explored the preliminary structural optimization of 4(1H)-quinolone ester derivatives, a new series of antimalarials related to the endochins. Herein, we report the lead optimization of 4(1H)-quinolones with a focus on improving both antimalarial potency and bioavailability. These studies led to the development of orally efficacious antimalarials including quinolone analogue 20g, a promising candidate for further optimization.

Abstract
CHM-1 [2-(2-fluorophenyl)-6,7-methylenedioxyquinolin-4-one] (1) has a unique antitumor mechanism of action. However, because 1 has relatively low hydrophilicity, it was evaluated only via ip administration, which is not clinically acceptable. In this study, we synthesized the monosodium phosphate salt (CHM-1-P-Na, 4) of 1 as a hydrophilic prodrug. Compound 4 was rapidly converted into 1 following iv and po administration and also possessed excellent antitumor activity in a SKOV-3 xenograft nude mice model. Compound 4 also had clear-cut pharmacological effects on enzymes related with tumor cells. Neither 4 nor 1 significantly affected normal biological function in a safety pharmacology profiling study. Compound 1 caused apoptotic effects in breast carcinoma cells via accumulation of cyclin B1, and importantly, the endogenous levels of the mitotic spindle checkpoint proteins BubR1 directly correlated with cellular response to microtubule disruption. With excellent antitumor activity profiles, 4 is highly promising for development as an anticancer clinical trials candidate.

Abstract
A series of substituted 2-arylnaphthyridin-4-one analogues, which were previously synthesized in our laboratory, were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against human lung cancer A549 and human renal cancer Caki-2 cells using MTT assay. Some compounds (11, 12, and 13) showed stronger cytotoxicity than colchicine against both tumor cell lines, and compound 13 exhibited the most potent activity with IC(50) values of 2.3 and 13.4 microM, respectively. Three-dimensional quantitative structure activity relationship (3D-QSAR) studies of comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) were performed. Predictive 3D-QSAR models were obtained with q(2) values of 0.869 and 0.872 and r(2) (ncv) values of 0.983 and 0.993 for CoMFA and CoMSIA, respectively. These results demonstrate that CoMFA and CoMSIA models could be reliably used in the design of novel cytotoxic agents.

Abstract
As part of our continuing investigation of azo-flavonoid derivatives as potential anticancer drug candidates, a series of 2-aryl-6,7-methylenedioxyquinolin-4-one analogues was designed and synthesized. The design combined structural features of 2-(2-fluorophenyl)-6,7-methylenedioxyquinolin-4-one (CHM-1), a previously discovered compound with potent in vivo antitumor activity, and 2-arylquinolin-4-ones, identified by CoMFA models. The newly synthesized analogues were evaluated for cytotoxicity against seven human cancer cell lines, and structure-activity relationship (SAR) correlations were established. Analogues 1, 37, and 39 showed potent cytotoxicity against different cancer cell lines. Compound 1 demonstrated selective cytotoxicity against Hep 3B (hepatoma) cells. Compound 37 was cytotoxic against HL-60 (leukemia), HCT-116 (colon cancer), Hep 3B (hepatoma), and SK-MEL-5 (melanoma) cells. Compound 39 exhibited broad cytotoxicity against all seven cancer cell lines, with IC50 values between 0.07 and 0.19 microM. Results from mechanism of action studies revealed that these new quinolone derivatives function as antitubulin agents.

Abstract
In the present study a quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) analysis was applied to a series of 100 of 7- and 3-substituted 1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1-(2-thiazolyl)-1,8-naphthyridine derivatives. The Chem-X (version 2000) software was used to develop 3D QSAR models. The steric and electrostatic interactions between a probe atom (H(+)) and a set of aligned molecules were assessed using the comparative molecular field analysis method. Statistically relevant models were derived for both electrostatic and steric fields. A 2D model over a restricted series of close structural analogs was derived as well. A number of conclusions on the relationship between the type and size of different substituents and the antitumor activity of the compounds were derived.

Abstract
A series of 2,5-diaryl-3-methylpyrimido[4,5-c]quinolin-1(2H)-ones (7-30), variously substituted at the 2- and 5-phenyl moieties, were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against a PC3 cancer cell line. Cytotoxicity data revealed that the type of substituent as well as substitution pattern have variable influence on cytotoxic activity. Among the compounds tested, compounds (9), (13), (18), (19), and (23) demonstrated appreciable cytotoxic activity with mean IC(50) values of 2.0, 1.4, 1.6, 2.2, and 1.9microM, respectively. Methyl substitution at the 2-phenyl ring was found to yield the least active compounds. Two of the most potent compounds (13) and (18) were further investigated for inhibition of tubulin polymerization and found to have no activity at the concentrations used in the assay.

Abstract
A 2-phenyl-4-quinolone (2-PQ) derivative, 2-(3-fluorophenyl)-6-methoxyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (YJC-1), was synthesized in our laboratory. In this study, we delineated the growth-inhibitory effect of YJC-1 in human lung carcinoma A549 cells. YJC-1 inhibited cell growth with an IC(50) value of about 4.8 microM via microtubule polymerization, causing growth arrest in the mitotic phase. Immunoblotting analysis revealed a dramatic induction of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor p21(Cip1/Waf1) and down-regulation of Cdc25C phosphatase to inhibit the protein expression of cyclin B1 and CDK1. We also found that YJC-1 induced a profound time-dependent elevation in p21(Cip1/Waf1) gene expression in comparison with the negative control. In vivo, we also found that YJC-1 significantly suppressed tumor growth in mice inoculated with A549 cells. These findings suggest that YJC-1 can suppress A549 cell growth via mitotic phase arrest.

Abstract
Several 2-amino-pyrimido[4,5-c]quinolin-1(2H)-ones variously substituted at positions 3, 5, and 9 were prepared from their corresponding lactones. The target compounds were investigated for in vitro cytotoxic activity against a panel of human cancer cell lines, namely, lung fibrosarcoma HT-1080, colon adenocarcinoma HT-29, and breast carcinoma MDA-MB-231. Analysis of data revealed that the presence of chloro at position 9 has a major positive impact on cytotoxic activity. Additional halogen substitution at the para position of the 3-phenyl group further enhances activity. Furthermore, compound (25) was found to dose-dependently inhibit tubulin polymerization. In accordance, flow cytometric analysis of the most potent compounds (23-26) indicated that the tested compounds induce cell cycle arrest in the G(2)/M phase. The obtained results introduce the rarely described pyrimido[4,5-c]quinolin-1(2H)-one ring system as a new scaffold for promising antimitotic agents.

Abstract
The present report describes the synthesis and antiproliferative evaluation of certain 4-anilino-8-methoxy-2-phenylquinoline and 4-anilino-8-hydroxy-2-phenylquinoline derivatives. The antiproliferative activity of 4'-COMe-substituted derivatives decreased in an order of 6-OMe (1, 3.89 microM) > 8-OMe (8, 10.47 microM) > 8-OH (9, 14.45 microM), indicating that the position of substitution at the quinoline ring is crucial. For 3'-COMe derivatives, the antiproliferative activity of 8-OH (11, 1.20 microM) is more potent than its 8-OMe counterpart (10, 8.91 microM), indicating that a H-bonding donating substituent is more favorable than that of a H-bonding accepting group. Comparison of 8-OH derivatives, the antiproliferative effect of COMe (11) is more potent than its oxime derivative (15a, 2.88 microM), which in turn is more potent than the methyloxime counterpart (15b, 5.50 microM). Compound 11 is especially active against the growth of certain solid cancer cells such as HCT-116 (colon cancer), MCF7, and MDA-MB-435 (breast cancer) with GI50 values of 0.07, <0.01, and <0.01 microM, respectively. Flow cytometric analyses revealed that growth inhibition by 11 and 15a was due to accumulation in S-phase. This result is interesting because 2-phenylquinolone derivatives have been reported to be antimitotic agents which induced cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase.

Abstract
A number of 2-(furan-2-yl)-4-phenoxyquinoline derivatives have been synthesized and evaluated for anti-inflammatory evaluation. 4-[(2-Furan-2-yl)quinolin-4-yloxy]benzaldehyde (8), with an IC(50) value of 5.0 microM against beta-glucuronidase release, was more potent than its tricyclic furo[2,3-b]quinoline isomer 3a (>30 microM), its 4'-COMe counterpart 7 (7.5 microM), and its oxime derivative 13a (11.4 microM) and methyloxime derivative 13b (>30 microM). For the inhibition of lysozyme release, however, oxime derivative 12a (8.9 microM) and methyloxime derivative 12b (10.4 microM) are more potent than their ketone precursor 7 and their respective tricyclic furo[2,3-b]quinoline counterparts 4a and 4b. Among them, 4-[4-[(2-furan-2-yl)-quinolin-4-yloxy]phenyl]but-3-en-2-one (10) is the most active against lysozyme release with an IC(50) value of 4.6 microM, while 8 is the most active against beta-glucuronidase release with an IC(50) value of 5.0 microM. (E)-1-[3-[(2-Furan-2-yl)quinolin-4-yloxy]phenyl] ethanone oxime (11a) is capable of inhibiting both lysozyme and beta-glucuronidase release with IC(50) values of 7.1 and 9.5 microM, respectively. For the inhibition of TNF-alpha formation, 1-[3-[(2-furan-2-yl)quinolin-4-yloxy]phenyl]ethanone (6) is the most potent with an IC(50) value of 2.3 microM which is more potent than genistein (9.1 microM). For the inhibitory activity of fMLP-induced superoxide anion generation, 11a (2.7 microM), 11b (2.8 microM), and 13b (2.2 microM) are three of the most active. None of above compounds exhibited significant cytotoxicity.
