On the ordeal of quinolone preparation via cyclisation of aryl-enamines; synthesis and structure of ethyl 6-methyl-7-iodo-4-(3-iodo-4-methylphenoxy)-quinoline-3-carboxylate
Recent studies directed to the design of compounds targeting the bc(1) protein complex of Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite responsible for most lethal cases of malaria, identified quinolones (4-oxo-quinolines) with low nanomolar inhibitory activity against both the enzyme and infected erythrocytes. The 4-oxo-quinoline 3-ester chemotype emerged as a possible source of potent bc(1) inhibitors, prompting us to expand the library of available analogs for SAR studies and subsequent lead optimization. We now report the synthesis and structural characterization of unexpected ethyl 6-methyl-7-iodo-4-(3-iodo-4-methylphenoxy)quinoline-3-carboxylate, a 4-aryloxy-quinoline 3-ester formed during attempted preparation of 6-methyl-7-iodo-4-oxo-quinoline-3-carboxylate (4-oxo-quinoline 3-ester). We propose that the 4-aryloxy-quinoline 3-ester derives from 6-methyl-7-iodo-4-hydroxy-quinoline-3-carboxylate (4-hydroxy-quinoline 3-ester), the enol form of 6-methyl-7-iodo-4-oxo-quinoline-3-carboxylate. Formation of the 4-aryloxy-quinoline 3-ester confirms the impact of quinolone/hydroxyquinoline tautomerism, both on the efficiency of synthetic routes to quinolones and on pharmacologic profiles. Tautomers exhibit different cLogP values and interact differently with the enzyme active site. A structural investigation of 6-methyl-7-iodo-4-oxo-quinoline-3-carboxylate and 6-methyl-7-iodo-4-hydroxy-quinoline-3-carboxylate, using matrix isolation coupled to FTIR spectroscopy and theoretical calculations, revealed that the lowest energy conformers of 6-methyl-7-iodo-4-hydroxy-quinoline-3-carboxylate, lower in energy than their most stable 4-oxo-quinoline tautomer by about 27 kJ mol(-1), are solely present in the matrix, while the most stable 4-oxo-quinoline tautomer is solely present in the crystalline phase.Fundacao para a Ciencia e Tecnologia (FCT - Portugal) [UID/Multi/04326/2013]; QREN-COMPETE-UE; CCMAR; FCT [SFRH/BD/81821/2011, RECI/BBB-BQB/0230/2012, UI0313/QUI/2013, UID/FIS/04564/2016]; FEDER/COMPETE-UE; [PTDC/QEQ-QFI/3284/2014 - POCI-01-0145-FEDER-016617]info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Scientific Opinion on the re-evaluation of Quinoline Yellow (E 104) as a food additive:Question No EFSA-Q-2008-223
The Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to Food provides a scientific opinion re-evaluating the safety of Quinoline Yellow (E 104). Quinoline Yellow has been previously evaluated by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) in 1975, 1978 and 1984, and the EU Scientific Committee for Food (SCF) in 1984. Both committees established an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) of 0-10 mg/kg body weight (bw). Studies not evaluated by JECFA and the SCF included a chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity study with a
reproductive toxicity phase in rats and a study on behaviour in children by McCann et al. from 2007. The latter study concluded that exposure to a mixture of colours including Quinoline Yellow resulted in increased hyperactivity in 8- to 9-years old children. The Panel concurs with the conclusion from a previous EFSA opinion on the McCann et al. study that the findings of the study cannot be used as a basis for altering the ADI. The Panel notes that Quinoline Yellow was negative in in vitro genotoxicity as well as in long term carcinogenicity studies. The Panel concludes that the currently available database on semi-chronic, reproductive, developmental and long-term toxicity of Quinoline Yellow, including a study in rats not apparently taken into
consideration by JECFA or the SCF, provides a rationale for re-definition of the ADI. Using the NOAEL of 50 mg/kg bw/day provided by the chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity study with a reproductive toxicity phase carried out in rats and applying an uncertainty factor of 100 to this NOAEL, the Panel establishes an ADI of 0.5 mg/kg bw/day. The Panel notes that at the maximum levels of use of Quinoline Yellow, refined intake estimates are generally well over the ADI of 0.5 mg/kg bw/day
A New synthesis of triazolo[4,5-g]quinolines and unexpected ring reduced products by treatment with hydrazine hydrate
A new synthesis of the linear heterocycle 4-chloro-1H-triazolo[4,5-g]quinoline by reduction of
the novel compound 4-chloro-1H-triazolo[4,5-g]quinoline-1-oxide is reported. Treatment of the
latter with hydrazine hydrate in ethanol in a sealed steel vessel in the presence or not of
palladised charcoal, under various conditions of both time and temperature, afforded some
derivatives of both ring reduction and ring construction

Synthesis, In Silico Studies, Antiprotozoal and Cytotoxic Activities of QuinolineâBiphenyl Hybrids
This is the pre-peer reviewed version of the following article: Synthesis, In Silico Studies, Antiprotozoal and Cytotoxic Activities of QuinolineâBiphenyl Hybrids, which has been published in final form at https://doi.org/10.1002/slct.201903835. This article may be used for non-commercial purposes in accordance with Wiley Terms and Conditions for Use of Self-Archived VersionsThe synthesis, in silico studies, antiprotozoal and cytotoxic activities of eleven quinolineâbiphenyl hybrids are described herein. The structure of the synthesized products was elucidated by a combination of spectrometric analyses. The synthesized compounds were evaluated against Plasmodium falciparum, and amastigotes forms both Leishmania (V) panamensis and Trypanosoma cruzi. Cytotoxicity was evaluated against human Uâ937 macrophages. 8âphenylquinoline (4âa) showed similar activity than meglumine antimoniate and 4â(quinolinâ8âyl)phenol (4âb) exhibited an activity similar to that of benznidazole. 8â(3,4âdimethoxyphenyl) quinoline (4âk) showed the best activity against P. falciparum. Although these compounds were toxic for mammalian Uâ937 cells, however they may still have potential to be considered as candidates for drug development because of their antiparasite activity. Molecular docking was used to determine the in silico inhibition of some of the designed compounds against PfLDH and cruzipain, two important pharmacological targets involved in antiparasitic diseases. All hybrids were docked to the threeâdimensional structures of PfLDH and T. cruzi cruzipain as enzymes using AutoDock Vina. Notably, the docking results showed that the most active compounds 4â(quinolinâ8âyl)phenol (4âb, CE50: 11.33â
ÎŒg/mL for T. cruzi) and 8â(3,4âdimethoxyphenyl) quinoline (4âk, CE50: 8.84â
ÎŒg/mL for P. falciparum) exhibited the highest scoring pose (â7.5 and â7.7â
kcal/mol, respectively). This result shows a good correlation between the predicted scores with the experimental data profile, suggesting that these ligands could act as competitive inhibitors of PfLDH or T. cruzi cruzipain enzymes, respectively. Finally, in silico ADME studies of the quinoline hybrids showed that these novel compounds have suitable drugâlike properties, making them potentially promising agents for antiprotozoal therapy
Enantioselective hydrogenation of activated ketones in the presence of Ptâcinchona catalysts. Is the proton transfer concept valid?
Experimental evidences related to the proton transfer in the catalytic system Pt-Cinchona
alkaloids for enantioselective hydrogenation of activated ketones were collected and analyzed.
Both new and earlier results indicate that in aprotic media direct transfer of proton from
platinum to the substrate with the involvement of quinuclidine nitrogen as a general rule can
be questioned
A ratiometric AlÂłâș ion probe based on the coumarin-quinoline FRET system
A coumarin-quinoline based fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) system (TCQ) has been synthesized and employed as a ratiometric fluorescence probe. The selective fluorescent response of the probe TCQ toward AlÂłâș was devised by employing a quinoline moiety as a FRET energy donor with a coumarin moiety as an energy acceptor. The quinoline emission at 390 nm decreased and the coumarin emission at 480 nm increased concurrently on addition of AlÂłâș under excitation wavelength at 253 nm. The TCQ probe exhibited high selectivity for AlÂłâș as compared to other tested metal ions and the ratiometric sensing of AlÂłâș was determined by plotting the fluorescence intensity ratio at 480 nm and 390 nm versus AlÂłâș ion concentration. Moreover, test strips based on TCQ were fabricated, which were found to act as a convenient and efficient AlÂłâș ion detection kit. Furthermore, this system has been used for imaging of AlÂłâș in living cells

Synthesis, anti-tuberculosis activity and QSAR study of 2,4-diarylquinolines and analogous polycyclic derivatives
The multicomponent syntheses of 2,4-di-aryl-quinolines and analogous polycyclic derivatives as anti-tuberculosis agents were described. They were prepared via Beyer and FriedlĂ€nder methods under microwave irradiation in short reaction times and good yields. Several homogeneous and heterogeneous acid catalysts were compared for preparing 2,4-di-arylquinolines and among them trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) reached the higher yields. Two derivatives exhibited activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (Mtb), underwent additional testing and were considered lead compounds. The synthesis of a series of polycyclic analogous led to six new active compounds and a Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship study (QSAR) study was established.Fil: Muscia, Gisela Celeste.
