Synthesis and Anticoccidial Activities of Substituted Ethyl 4-Hydroxy-11-Oxo-11H-Chromeno[2,3-g]Quinoline-3-Carboxylates

Application of Quinoline Ring in Structural Modification of Natural Products

Natural compounds are rich in pharmacological properties that are a hot topic in pharmaceutical research. The quinoline ring plays important roles in many biological processes in heterocycles. Many pharmacological compounds, including saquinavir and chloroquine, have been marketed as quinoline molecules with good anti-viral and anti-parasitic properties. Therefore, in this review, we summarize the medicinal chemistry of quinoline-modified natural product quinoline derivatives that were developed by several research teams in the past 10 years and find that these compounds have inhibitory effects on bacteria, viruses, parasites, inflammation, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and others.

A one-pot three-component reaction involving 2-aminochromone in aqueous micellar medium: a green synthesis of hexahydrochromeno[2,3-b]quinolinedione

An efficient and green synthesis of hitherto unreported 11-(chromen-3-yl)-8,8-dimethyl-8,9-dihydro-6H-chromeno[2,3-b]quinoline-10,12(7H,11H)-dione has been accomplished by a three-component reaction involving 2-aminochromone, chromone-3-carbaldehyde, and 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione (dimedone) in 0.5 M aqueous SDS solution. The mechanism of the reaction has been studied by isolating the reaction intermediate. This methodology features eco-friendly reaction conditions, a simple working procedure, high atom-economy and high efficiency in product formation.

Intermolecular C-O Addition of Carboxylic Acids to Arynes: Synthesis of o-Hydroxyaryl Ketones, Xanthones, 4-Chromanones, and Flavones

An efficient and simple route to biologically and pharmaceutically important o-hydroxyaryl ketones, xanthones, 4-chromanones, and flavones has been developed utilizing readily available carboxylic acids and commercially available o-(trimethylsilyl)aryl triflates.
