Synthesis of New Quinoline Derivatives

Synthesis and antibacterial evaluation of (5Z)-5-[(2-piperidinequinoline-3-yl)methyl]-2-chloroquinoline derivatives: Docking study on substituted N-alkylation and binding mechanisms with E. Coli PDF enzyme

A number of new substances were included into the (5Z)-5-[(2-piperidinequinoline-3-yl)methyl]-2-chloroquinoline structural framework. The condensation process 2-chloroquinoline, which served as a crucial reagent in the reaction with 3-carbaldehydes to produce 2,4-thiazolidinedione, allowed for the production of 1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-dione. The newly developed substances were described by means of their reactions with halide compounds, particularly those pertaining to substituted N-alkylation. Elemental analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR) were used to identify the chemical. Furthermore, the antibacterial activity of the produced compounds was evaluated in vitro against a range of pathogens, including Bacillus subtilis, and Escherichia coli. Moreover, docking experiments were conducted using the PDF enzyme of E. coli to improve our understanding of the binding mechanism between the synthesized 5(A-N) compounds and the enzyme.

Design and synthesis of luotonin A-derived topoisomerase targeting scaffold with potent antitumor effect and low genotoxicity

Conventional topoisomerase (Topo) inhibitors typically usually exert their cytotoxicity by damaging the DNAs, which exhibit high toxicity and tend to result in secondary carcinogenesis risk. Molecules that have potent topoisomerase inhibitory activity but involve less DNA damage provide more desirable scaffolds for developing novel chemotherapeutic agents. In this work, we broke the rigid pentacyclic system of luotonin A and synthesized thirty-three compounds as potential Topo inhibitors based on the devised molecular motif. Further investigation disclose that two compounds with the highest antiproliferation activity against cancer cells, 5aA and 5dD, had a distinct Topo I inhibitory mechanism different from those of the classic Topo I inhibitors CPT or luteolin, and were able to obviate the obvious cellular DNA damage typically associated with clinically available Topo inhibitors. The animal model experiments demonstrated that even in mice treated with a high dosage of 50 mg/kg 5aA, there were no obvious signs of toxicity or loss of body weight. The tumor growth inhibition (TGI) rate was 54.3 % when 20 mg/kg 5aA was given to the T24 xenograft mouse model, and 5aA targeted the cancer tissue precisely without causing damage to the liver and other major organs.

Activity prediction of aminoquinoline drugs based on deep learning

The results of the traditional prediction method for the activity of aminoquinoline drugs are inaccurate, so the prediction method for the activity of aminoquinoline drugs based on the deep learning is designed. The molecular holographic distance vector method was used to describe the molecular structure of 40 aminoquinoline compounds, and the principal component regression method was used for modeling and quantitative analysis. Two methods were used to predict the activity of aminoquinoline drugs. The correlation coefficients of the results obtained from the two sets of activity data and the cross test were 0.9438 and 0.9737, and 0.8305 and 0.9098, respectively. Our data suggested that method for the activity prediction of aminoquinoline drugs based on deep learning studied in this paper can better predict the activity of aminoquinoline drugs and provide a strong basis for the activity prediction of aminoquinoline drugs.

Regioselective four-component synthesis of new tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline-based 2-amino-1,4-dihydropyridine and pyridin-2(1H)-one derivatives using nano-ZnO catalysis

Four-component reaction between primary amines, dialkylacetylendicarboxylates, tetrazolo[1,5-a] quinoline-4-carbaldehyde and ethyl-2-cyanoacetate in the presence of 1,4-diaza-bicyclo[2.2.2]octane and zinc oxide nanoparticles results to the regioselective production of new tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline-based 2-amino-1,4-dihydropyridine or pyridin-2(1H)-one derivatives in good to high yields. The selectivity of the catalyzed reaction toward the generation of the dihydropyridine or pyridin-2(1H)-one derivatives was found to be strongly dependent on the size of the alkyl groups in the ester moieties of the acetylenic esters. According to single-crystal X-ray diffraction and NMR studies, the pyridin-2(1H)-one derivatives involve a restricted rotation around the C-C bond connecting the tetrazoloquinoline and dihydropyridinone cyclic systems.

1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition Reactions of Azomethine Ylides with Carbonyl Dipolarophiles Yielding Oxazolidine Derivatives

We provide a comprehensive account of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of azomethine ylides with carbonyl dipolarophiles. Many different azomethine ylides have been studied, including stabilized and non-stabilized ylides. Of the carbonyl dipolarophiles, aldehydes including formaldehyde are the most studied, although there are now examples of cycloadditions with ketones, ketenes and carboxyl systems, in particular isatoic anhydrides and phthalic anhydrides. Intramolecular cycloadditions with esters can also occur under certain circumstances. The oxazolidine cycloadducts undergo a range of reactions triggered by the ring-opening of the oxazolidine ring system.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of New Hydrazone Derivatives of Quinoline and Their Cu(II) and Zn(II) Complexes against Mycobacterium tuberculosis

A new series of quinoline hydrazone derivatives and their metal complexes have been synthesized and their biological properties have been evaluated against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37 RV strain). Most of the newly synthesized compounds displayed 100% inhibitory activity at a concentration of 6.25–25 μg/mL, against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Fluorescence properties of all the synthesized compounds have been studied.

A combined experimental and theoretical studies on FT-IR, FT-Raman and UV-vis spectra of 2-chloro-3-quinolinecarboxaldehyde

In the present study, the FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of 2-chloro-3-quinolinecarboxaldehyde (2Cl3QC) have been recorded in the region 4000-400 and 3500-50 cm(-1), respectively. The fundamental modes of vibrational frequencies of 2Cl3QC are assigned. Theoretical information on the optimized geometry, harmonic vibrational frequencies, infrared and Raman intensities were obtained by means of density functional theory (DFT) gradient calculations with complete relaxation in the potential energy surface using 6-31G(d,p) basis set. The vibrational frequencies which were determined experimentally from the spectral data are compared with those obtained theoretically from DFT calculations. A close agreement was achieved between the observed and calculated frequencies by refinement of the scale factors. The infrared and Raman spectra were also predicted from the calculated intensities. Thermodynamic properties like entropy, heat capacity, zero point energy, have been calculated for the molecule. The predicted first hyperpolarizability also shows that the molecule might have a reasonably good non-linear optical (NLO) behavior. The calculated HOMO-LUMO energy gap reveals that charge transfer occurs within the molecule. Stability of the molecule arising from hyper conjugative interactions, charge delocalization have been analyzed using natural bond orbitals (NBO) analysis. The results show that charge in electron density (ED) in the π(∗) antibonding orbitals and E((2)) energies confirms the occurrence of ICT (intra-molecular charge transfer) within the molecule. UV-visible spectrum of the title molecule has also been calculated using TD-DFT/CAM-B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) method. The calculated energy and oscillator strength almost exactly reproduces reported experimental data.

Synthesis and DNA binding studies of novel heterocyclic substituted quinoline schiff bases: a potent antimicrobial agent

The present article deals with the synthesis of 2-chloroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde [(2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl) methylene] hydrazone (CQCMH) (2a-c) and 2-chloroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde [4-(dimethylamino) benzylidene] hydrazone (CQCDBH) (3a-c) from quinoline derivatives under suitable experimental conditions. The synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, (1)HNMR, and mass spectral data. The selected compounds were studied for interaction with calf thymus-DNA (CT-DNA) by electronic spectra, viscosity measurements as well as thermal denaturation studies. On binding to DNA, the absorption spectrum underwent bathochromic and hypochromic shifts. The binding constant (K(b)) had value of 2.3 x 10(3) M(-1) for (2a) and 2.5 x 10(4) M(-1) for (3a). The viscosity measurements indicated that the viscosity of sonicated rod like DNA fragments increased. The synthesized derivatives have been screened for antibacterial and antifungal activities.
