Abstract
Various substituted pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinolines and pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines were synthesized in good to high yields by the Et3N-mediated reaction of push-pull 3-nitrobenzofurans or 1-Ts-/1-Ms-3-nitroindoles and precursors of carbonyl-stabilized quinolinium and isoquinolinium ylides as 1,3-dipole equivalents. These transformations proceed in a one-pot manner starting with the formal [3 + 2]-cycloaddition stage, which is accompanied by double dearomatization of both quinoline/isoquinoline and benzofuran/indole moieties, followed by ring-opening of cyclic intermediate formed and nitrous acid elimination sequence. [3 + 2]-Cycloadducts were isolated as the final products in cases of impossibility or difficulty of their enolization. The present protocol was successfully extended to 3-nitro-4H-chromene derivatives as push-pull dipolarophile component. Finally, using the method of competing reactions, the reactivity of the starting compounds was compared with each other.

Abstract
In this review, we summarize pyrroloquinoline and pyrroloisoquinoline derivatives (PQs and PIQs) that act on a broad spectrum of biological targets and are used as bacteriostatic, antiviral, plasmodial, anticancer, antidiabetic and anticoagulant agents. Many of these compounds play important roles in the study of DNA and its interactions, the regulation of the cell cycle and programmed cell death. This review involves twenty-five types of skeletally analogical compounds bearing pyrrole and (iso)quinoline scaffolds with different mutual annelations.

Abstract
New dihydro-pyrrol-2-one compounds, featuring dual sulfonamide groups, were synthesized through a one-pot, three-component approach utilizing trifluoroacetic acid as a catalyst. Computational analysis using density functional theory (DFT) and condensed Fukui function explored the structure-reactivity relationship. Evaluation against human carbonic anhydrase isoforms (hCA I, II, IX, XII) revealed potent inhibition. The widely expressed cytosolic hCA I was inhibited across a range of concentrations (KI 3.9-870.9 nM). hCA II, also cytosolic, exhibited good inhibition as well. Notably, all compounds effectively inhibited tumor-associated hCA IX (KI 1.9-211.2 nM) and hCA XII (low nanomolar). Biological assessments on MCF7 cancer cells highlighted the compounds' ability, in conjunction with doxorubicin, to significantly impact tumor cell viability. These findings underscore the potential therapeutic relevance of the synthesized compounds in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Design of tubulin inhibitors as anticancer drugs dynamically developed over the past 20 years. The modern arsenal of potential tubulin-targeting anticancer agents is represented by small molecules, monoclonal antibodies, and antibody-drug conjugates. Moreover, targeting tubulin has been a successful strategy in the development of antiparasitic drugs. In the present review, an overall picture of the research and development of potential tubulin-targeting agents using small molecules between 2018 and 2023 is provided. The data about some most often used and prospective chemotypes of small molecules (privileged heterocycles, moieties of natural molecules) and synthetic methodologies (analogue-based, fragment-based drug design, molecular hybridization) applied for the design of novel agents with an impact on the tubulin system are summarized. The design and prospects of multi-target agents with an impact on the tubulin system were also highlighted. Reported in the review data contribute to the "structure-activity" profile of tubulin-targeting small molecules as anticancer and antiparasitic agents and will be useful for the application by medicinal chemists in further exploration, design, improvement, and optimization of this class of molecules.

Abstract
Aim: A series of new hybrid molecules with two iodine atoms on the sides were synthesized. Methods: A one-pot, two-component method with trifluoroacetic acid as an effective catalyst to obtain dihydro-pyrrol-2-one compounds was developed. Short reaction times, a cheap catalyst, high yields and clean work-up are benefits of this method. Results: The chemical structures of the newly synthesized compounds were verified through spectroscopic techniques. Their antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans was tested in vitro. Conclusion: NC- and OH- radicals confer broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, including against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and yeasts. Compounds 3g >7 and >9 were most active on the two bacterial species, while 3l >9 and >3i were most active against the fungal strain.

Exploring Pyrrolo-Fused Heterocycles as Promising Anticancer Agents: An Integrated Synthetic, Biological, and Computational Approach. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 16:865.

Abstract
Five new series of pyrrolo-fused heterocycles were designed through a scaffold hybridization strategy as analogs of the well-known microtubule inhibitor phenstatin. Compounds were synthesized using the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of cycloimmonium N-ylides to ethyl propiolate as a key step. Selected compounds were then evaluated for anticancer activity and ability to inhibit tubulin polymerization in vitro. Notably, pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoline 10a was active on most tested cell lines, performing better than control phenstatin in several cases, most notably on renal cancer cell line A498 (GI50 27 nM), while inhibiting tubulin polymerization in vitro. In addition, this compound was predicted to have a promising ADMET profile. The molecular details of the interaction between compound 10a and tubulin were investigated through in silico docking experiments, followed by molecular dynamics simulations and configurational entropy calculations. Of note, we found that some of the initially predicted interactions from docking experiments were not stable during molecular dynamics simulations, but that configurational entropy loss was similar in all three cases. Our results suggest that for compound 10a, docking experiments alone are not sufficient for the adequate description of interaction details in terms of target binding, which makes subsequent scaffold optimization more difficult and ultimately hinders drug design. Taken together, these results could help shape novel potent antiproliferative compounds with pyrrolo-fused heterocyclic cores, especially from an in silico methodological perspective.

Abstract
Drug discovery in targeted nucleic acid therapeutics encompass several stages and rigorous challenges owing to less specificity of the DNA binders and high failure rate in different stages of clinical trials. In this perspective, we report newly synthesized ethyl 4-(pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinolin-4-yl)benzoate (PQN) with minor groove A-T base pair binding selectivity and encouraging in cell results. This pyrrolo quinolin derivative has shown excellent groove binding ability with three of our inspected genomic DNAs (cpDNA 73 % AT, ctDNA58% AT and mlDNA 28 % AT) with varying A-T and G-C content. Notably in spite of similar binding patterns PQN have strong binding preference with A-T rich groove of genomic cpDNA over the ctDNA and mlDNA. Spectroscopic experiments like steady state absorption and emission results have established the relative binding strengths (Kabs = 6.3 × 105 M-1, 5.6 × 104 M-1, 4.3 × 104 M-1 and Kemiss = 6.1 × 105 M-1, 5.7 × 104 M-1 and 3.5 × 104 M-1 for PQN-cpDNA, PQN-ctDNA and PQN-mlDNA respectively) whereas circular dichroism and thermal melting studies have unveiled the groove binding mechanism. Specific A-T base pair attachment with van der Waals interaction and quantitative hydrogen bonding assessment were characterized by computational modeling. In addition to genomic DNAs, preferential A-T base pair binding in minor groove was also observed with our designed and synthesized deca-nucleotide (primer sequences 5/-GCGAATTCGC-3/ and 3/-CGCTTAAGCG-5/). Cell viability assays (86.13 % in 6.58 μM and 84.01 % in 9.88 μM concentrations) and confocal microscopy revealed low cytotoxicity (IC50 25.86 μM) and efficient perinuclear localization of PQN. We propose PQN with excellent DNA-minor groove binding capacity and intracellular permeation properties, as a lead for further studies encompassing nucleic acid therapeutics.

Abstract
In this work, five acrylonitrile adducts were screened for antibacterial activity against Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis, Microbial Type Culture Collection and Gene Bank (MTCC 1305) and Gram-negative Escherichia coli (MTCC 443). Synthesis was followed by aza-Michael addition reaction, where the acrylonitrile accepts an electron pair from the respective amines and results in the formation of n-alkyliminobis-propionitrile and n-alkyliminopropionitrile under microwave irradiation. Characterization of the compounds were performed using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H NMR) and Electrospray Ionisation Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS). The particle size characterization was done by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) technique. The antibacterial study showed higher inhibition rate for both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The antibacterial ability was found to be dose dependent. The minimum inhibitory concentration against both bacteria were found to be 1, 3, 0.4, 1, 3 µl/ml for E. coli and 6, 6, 0.9, 0.5, 5 µl/ml for B. subtilis. Time-kill kinetics evaluation showed that the adducts possess bacteriostatic action. Further it was evaluated for high-throughput in vitro assays to determine the compatibility of the adducts for drug delivery. The haemolytic and thrombolytic activity was analysed against normal mouse erythrocytes. The haemolytic activity showed prominent results, and thereby projecting this acrylonitrile adducts as potent antimicrobial and haemolytic agent.

Abstract
Cancer accounts for numerous deaths each year, and it is one of the most common causes of death worldwide, despite many breakthroughs in the discovery of novel anticancer candidates. Each new year the FDA approves the use of new drugs for cancer treatments. In the last years, the biological targets of anticancer agents have started to be clearer and one of these main targets is tubulin protein; this protein plays an essential role in cell division, as well as in intracellular transportation. The inhibition of microtubule formation by targeting tubulin protein induces cell death by apoptosis. In the last years, numerous novel structures were designed and synthesized to target tubulin, and this can be achieved by inhibiting the polymerization or depolymerization of the microtubules. In this review article, recent novel compounds that have antiproliferation activities against a panel of cancer cell lines that target tubulin are explored in detail. This review article emphasizes the recent developments of tubulin inhibitors, with insights into their antiproliferative and anti-tubulin activities. A full literature review shows that tubulin inhibitors are associated with properties in the inhibition of cancer cell line viability, inducing apoptosis, and good binding interaction with the colchicine binding site of tubulin. Furthermore, some drugs, such as cabazitaxel and fosbretabulin, have been approved by FDA in the last three years as tubulin inhibitors. The design and development of efficient tubulin inhibitors is progressively becoming a credible solution in treating many species of cancers.

Abstract
Cyclization of substituted thiosemicarbazones with α-bromo-4-cyanoacetophenone allows rapid single-step sustainable syntheses of 4-cyanophenyl-2-hydrazinylthiazoles libraries (30 examples, 66-79%). All show anticancer efficacy against HCT-116 and MCF-7 carcinoma cell lines with the majority being more active than cisplatin positive controls. The compounds 2-(2-(2-hydroxy-3-methylbenzylidene)hydrazinyl)-4-(4-cyanophenyl)thiazole (3f) and 2-(2-((pentafluorophenyl)methylene)-hydrazinyl)-4-(4-cyanophenyl)thiazole (3a') show optimal GI50 values (1.0 ± 0.1 μM and 1.7 ± 0.3 μM) against MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Against colorectal carcinoma HCT-116 cells, (2-(2-(3-bromothiophen-2-yl)methylene)hydrazinyl)-4-(4-cyanophenyl)thiazole (3b'), 2-(2-(2-hydroxy-3-methylbenzylidene)hydrazinyl)-4-(4-cyanophenyl)thiazole (3f), 2-(2-(2,6-dichlorobenzylidene)hydrazinyl)-4-(4-cyanophenyl)thiazole (3n) and 2-(2-(1-(4-fluorophenyl)ethylidene)hydrazinyl)-4-(4-cyanophenyl)thiazole (3w) are the most active (GI50 values: 1.6 ± 0.2, 1.6 ± 0.1, 1.1 ± 0.5 and 1.5 ± 0.8 μM respectively). Control studies with MRC-5 cells indicate appreciable selectivity towards the cancer cells targeted. Significant (p < 0.005) growth inhibition and cytotoxicity effects for the thiazoles 3 were corroborated by cell count and clonogenic assays using the same cancer cell lines at 5 and 10 μM agent concentrations. Cell cycle, caspase activation and Western blot assays demonstrated that compounds 3b' and 3f induce cancer cell death via caspase-dependent apoptosis. The combination of straight forward synthesis and high activity makes the thiazoles 3 an interesting lead for further development.

Abstract
The carbocatalyzed synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted quinolines is disclosed. This process involved a three-component Povarov reaction of anilines, aldehydes and electron-enriched enol ethers, which gave the substrate for the subsequent oxidation. Graphene oxide (GO) was exploited as a heterogeneous, metal-free and sustainable catalyst for both transformations. The multicomponent reaction proceeded under simple and mild reaction conditions, exhibited good functional group tolerance, and could be easily scaled up to the gram level. A selection of tetrahydroquinolines obtained was subsequently aromatized to quinolines. The multistep synthesis could also be performed as a one-pot procedure. Investigation of the real active sites of GO was carried out by performing control experiments and a by full characterization of the carbon material by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR).
