Recent developments on antimicrobial quinoline chemistry were shortly reviewed covering six important topics: Historical aspects of the quinoline-based antimicrobial drug development; Increasing resistance problems and reasons for developing new antimicrobial agents; Molecular quinoline-based hybrids in the design and development of novel antimicrobial agents; Structural evolution of the quinol...

The behavior of meso-carbon microbeads in the boiling quinoline was investigated. The meso-carbon microbeads used were of three kinds; Type C, Type M and Type P. These were treated in quinoline at 238 •Ž for 30 min. and the insoluble part was filtered out. This procedure was repeated five times. The amount of quinoline soluble part was measured and the structural characteristics of quinoline in...

The quinoline ring plays an important role in many biological systems. Their chemical Synthesis is flexible, can be easily adapted to prepare new derivatives and rationally devised structures, and hopefully can be a source of useful drugs in future. Anticancer activities have been studied for many quinoline derivatives. It has been known that quinoline derivatives may act as anticancer agents t...

BACKGROUND Quinoline 2-oxidoreductase (Qor) is a member of molybdenum hydroxylase which catalyzes the oxidation of quinoline (2, 3 benzopyridine) to 1-hydro-2-oxoquinoline. Qor has biological and medicinal significances. Qor is known to metabolize drugs produced from quinoline for the treatment of malaria, arthritis, and lupus for many years. However, the mechanistic action by which Qor oxidize...

The effects of prolonged p.o. administration of quinoline or 2-chloroquinoline on rat liver were examined histologically. Hepatocellular carcinomas and hemangioendotheliomas were observed in the livers of rats fed a basal diet containing 0.05, 0.10, or 0.25% quinoline for about 16 to 40 weeks. However, no neoplastic changes were seen in the livers of rats fed a basal diet containing 0.05, 0.10,...

A mild method for the cross-coupling of arylboronic acids with CF3I via the merger of photoredox (to generate CF3 radical) and Cu catalysis (to generate reactive Cu−aryl species) was developed by Professor Sanford and her co-worker of University of Michigan (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2012, 134, 9034− 9037). Potassium carbonate was found a base of choice for the promotion of transmetalation in DMF solve...
