Abstract
INTRODUCTION The quinolone scaffold is a bicyclic benzene-pyridinic ring scaffold with nitrogen at the first position and a carbonyl group at the second or fourth position. It is endowed with a diverse spectrum of pharmacological activities, including antitumor activity, and has progressed into various development phases of clinical trials for their target-specific anticancer activity. AREAS COVERED The present review covers both classes of quinolones, i.e. quinolin-2(H)-one and quinolin-4(H)-one as anticancer agents, along with their possible mode of binding. Furthermore, their structure-activity relationships, molecular mechanisms, and pharmacokinetic properties are also covered to provide insight into their structural requirements for their rational design as anticancer agents. EXPERT OPINION Synthetic feasibility and ease of derivatization at multiple positions, has allowed medicinal chemists to explore quinolones and their chemical diversity to discover newer anticancer agents. The presence of both hydrogen bond donor (-NH) and acceptor (-C=O) functionality in the basic scaffold at two different positions, has broadened the research scope. In particular, substitution at the -NH functionality of the quinolone motif has provided ample space for suitable functionalization and appropriate substitution at the quinolone's third, sixth, and seventh carbons, resulting in selective anticancer agents binding specifically with various drug targets.

Abstract
Quinolone is a privileged scaffold in medicinal chemistry and 4-Quinolone-3-Carboxamides have been reported to harbor vast therapeutic potential. However, conversion of N-1 substituted 4-Quinolone 3-Carboxylate to its corresponding carbamates is highly restrictive. This motivated us to adopt a much simpler, scalable and efficient methodology for the synthesis of highly pure N-1 substituted 4- Quinolone-3-Carboxamides with excellent yields. Our adopted methodology not only provides a robust pathway for the convenient synthesis of N-1 substituted 4- Quinolone-3-Carboxamides which can then be explored for their therapeutic potential, this may also be adaptable for the derivatization of other such less reactive carboxylate species.

Life Sci 2022; 293:120272. [PMID: 35065164 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2021.120272] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2021] [Revised: 12/20/2021] [Accepted: 12/23/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
Carbostyrils are quinolone derivatives, with possible growth inhibition properties on cancer cells. Unlike many tumors, 15-Lipoxygenase-1 (15-LOX-1) is highly expressed in prostate cancer (PCa) cells and has oncogenic properties. Here, with the hypothesis that 6-, 7- and 8-geranyloxycarbostyril (GQ) have inhibitory properties on 15-LOX-1, their effects were assessed on PCa cells. Their cytotoxic effects were evaluated by MTT assay and mechanism of cell death was investigated using annexin V/PI staining. Finally, the anti-tumor properties of 8-GQ were assessed in immunocompromised C57BL/6 mice bearing human PCa cells. Accordingly, these compounds could effectively inhibit 15-LOX activity in PCa cells. MTT and flow cytometry tests confirmed their toxic effects on PCa cells, with no significant toxicity on normal cells, and apoptosis was the main mechanism of cell death. In vivo results indicated that use of 8-GQ at 50 mg/kg had stronger anti-tumor effects than 5 mg/kg cisplatin, with fewer side effects on normal tissues. Therefore, 8-GQ can be introduced as a potential drug candidate with 15-LOX-1 inhibitory potency, which can be effective in treatment of prostate cancer, and should be considered for further drug screening investigations.

Abstract
Globally, cancer is considered as the major leading cause in decreasing the patient health care system of human beings. The growing threat from drug-resistant cancers makes heterocyclic moieties as an urgent need to develop more successful candidates for anti-cancer therapy. In view of outstanding pharmacological activities Quinolone and its derivatives have attracted more attention towards drug designing and biological evaluation in the search of new drug molecules. The inspired researchers attempted efforts in order to discover quinolone based analogs due to its wide range of biological activities. Due to immense pharmacological importance, distinct synthetic methods have been executed to attain new drug entities from quinolones and all the reported molecules have shown constructive anticancer activity. Some of the synthetic protocol like, one pot synthesis, post-Ugi-transformation, catalysed based synthesis, enzyme-based synthesis and nano-catalyst based synthetic procedures are also discussed as recent advancement in production of quinolone derivatives. In this review, recent synthetic approaches in the medicinal chemistry of quinolones and potent quinolone derivatives on the basis of structural activity relationship are outlined. Moreover, their major methods and modifications are discussed.

Abstract
Background:
Quinolines have been characterized as a class of potential antitumor agents,
and a large number of natural and synthetic quinolines acting as antitumor agents were reported.
Methods:
A series of 7-chloro-4(1H)-quinolone derivatives were synthesized. The antiproliferative
effect of these compounds was evaluated by MTT assay against five human tumor cell lines. The
mechanism of action of the selected compound 7h was also investigated.
Results and Discussion:
Most of the compounds had more potent antiproliferative activities than
the lead compound 7-chloro-4(1H)-quinolone 6b. Compound 7h was found to be the most potent
antiproliferative agent against human tumor cell lines. Further investigation demonstrated that compound
7h triggered ATG5-dependent autophagy of colorectal cancer cells by promoting the functions
of LC3 proteins.
Conclusion:
These results were useful for designing and discovering more potent novel antitumor
agents endowed with better pharmacological profiles.

Abstract
Our group has previously reported several indolecarboxamides exhibiting potent antitubercular activity. Herein, we rationally designed several arylcarboxamides based on our previously reported homology model and the recently published crystal structure of the mycobacterial membrane protein large 3 (MmpL3). Many analogues showed considerable anti-TB activity against drug-sensitive (DS) Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) strain. Naphthamide derivatives 13c and 13d were the most active compounds in our study (MIC: 6.55, 7.11 μM, respectively), showing comparable potency to the first line anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) drug ethambutol (MIC: 4.89 μM). In addition to the naphthamide derivatives, we also identified the quinolone-2-carboxamides and 4-arylthiazole-2-carboxamides as potential MmpL3 inhibitors in which compounds 8i and 18b had MIC values of 9.97 and 9.82 μM, respectively. All four compounds retained their high activity against multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) M. tb strains. It is worth noting that the two most active compounds 13c and 13d also exhibited the highest selective activity towards DS, MDR and XDR M. tb strains over mammalian cells [IC50 (Vero cells) ≥ 227 μM], indicating their potential lack of cytotoxicity. The four compounds were docked into the MmpL3 active site and were studied for their drug-likeness using Lipinski's rule of five. Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of arylcarboxamide derivatives based on an antimycobacterial indole-2-carboxamide scaffold. The most active compounds demonstrated activities against MDR and XDR M. tb strains.![]()

Abstract
Schistosomiasis represents a public health problem and praziquantel is the only drug used for treatment of all forms of the disease. Thus, the development of new anti-schistosomal agents is of utmost importance to increase the effectiveness, reduce side effects and delay the emergence of resistance. The present study was conducted to report the therapeutic efficacy of PPQ-8, a new synthetic quinoline-based compound against Schistosoma mansoni. Mice were treated with PPQ-8 at day 49 post infection using two treatment regimens (20 and 40 mg/kg). Significant reductions were recorded in hepatic (62.9% and 83.6%) and intestinal tissue egg load (57.4% and 73.5%), granuloma count (75.4% and 89.1%) and diameter (26.2% and 47.3%), in response to the drug regimens, respectively. In addition, both treatment regimens induced significant decrease in liver (23.3% and 32.8%) and spleen (37.5% and 45.3%) indices. Also, there were significant reductions in mature ova, total worm and female count, which were more prominent with the higher dose. The reduction in the level of nitric oxide in the liver by both therapeutic regimens to 22.5% and 47.2% indicates the anti-oxidant activity of PPQ-8. Bright field microscopic examination of worms recovered from infected and PPQ-8-treated mice showed nearly empty intestinal caeca with no observable changes in the tegument. Our findings hold promise for the development of a novel anti-schistosomal drug using PPQ-8, but further in vitro and in vivo studies are needed to elucidate the possible mechanism/s of action and to study the effect of PPQ-8 on other human schistosomes.

Abstract
The electroreductive coupling of 1-alkoxycarbonyl-4-quinolones with benzophenones in the presence of trimethylsilyl chloride gave adducts reacted at the 2-position of 4-quinolones as trimethylsilyl ethers. The adducts were transformed to 2-(diarylhydroxymethyl)-4-quinolones. The electroreduction of 1,3-diethoxycarbonyl-4-quinolones and polyhalogenated 3-alkoxycarbonyl-1-alkyl-4-quinolones with benzophenones also gave adducts reacted at the 2-position of 4-quinolones. On the contrary, the electroreductive coupling of 1,3-diethooxycarbonyl-8-methoxy-4-quinolones occurred at the 4-position of 4-quinolones to give 4-substituted quinolines.

Abstract
In the modern scenario, the quinolone scaffold has emerged as a very potent motif considering its clinical significance. Quinolones possess wide range of pharmacological activities such as anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, antiprotozoal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, carbonic anhydrase inhibitory and diuretic activity etc. The versatile synthetic approaches have been successfully applied and several of the resulted synthesized compounds exhibit fascinating biological activities in numerous fields. This has prompted to discover quinolone-based analogues among the researchers due to its great diversity in biological activities. In the past few years, various new, efficient and convenient synthetic approaches (including green chemistry and microwave-assisted synthesis) have been designed and developed to synthesize diverse quinolone-based scaffolds which represent a growing area of interest in academic and industry as well as to explore their biological activities. In this review, an attempt has been made by the authors to summarize (1) One of the most comprehensive listings of quinolone-based drugs or agents in the market or under various stages of clinical development; (2) Recent advances in the synthetic strategies for quinolone derivatives as well as their biological implications including insight of mechanistic studies. (3) Further, the biological data is correlated with structure-activity relationship studies to provide an insight into the rational design of more active agents.

Abstract
A series of piperazinyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline carboxylates were synthesized by the reaction of ethyl 4-chloro-1-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylates with various piperazines and their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR and mass spectral analysis. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activities. Further, the in silico molecular docking studies of the active compounds was performed to explore the binding interactions between piperazinyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline carboxylate derivatives and the active site of the Staphylococcus aureus (CrtM) dehydrosqualene synthase (PDB ID: 2ZCQ). The docking studies revealed that the synthesized derivatives showed high binding energies and strong H-bond interactions with the dehydrosqualene synthase validating the observed antimicrobial activity data. Based on antimicrobial activity and docking studies, the compounds 9b and 10c were identified as promising antimicrobial lead molecules. This study might provide insights to identify new drug candidates that target the S. aureus virulence factor, dehydrosqualene synthase.
