dna intercalators belong to aromatic heterocyclic compounds interacting reversibly with dna. these compounds have been used extremely as cytotoxic agents against cancer. in this study, the synthesis and biological activity of some novel derivatives of cyclopenta [b] quinoline-1, 8-dione as new intercalating agent were investigated. twenty novel derivatives of cyclopenta [b] quinoline-1, 8-dione...

(Thiazolyl-2-yl)hydrazones (THs) are a group of organic compounds containing both hydrazone and 1,3-thiazole pharmacophores present in many approved drugs. They have been investigated greatly recent years due to potent anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, antituberculosis, anti-inflammatory, antiparasitic activities. In this study, one pyridine-based two quinoline-based, novel THs were synthe...

The formation of Cu(II) complexes with two isomeric quinoline-containing scorpiand-type ligands has been studied. The ligands have a tetraazapyridinophane core appended with an ethylamino tail including 2-quinoline (L1) or 4-quinoline (L2) functionalities. Potentiometric studies indicate the formation of stable CuL(2+) species with both ligands, the L1 complex being 3-4 log units more stable th...

An efficient one-pot, three-component method for the preparation of indeno[1,2-b]quinoline-9,11(6H,10H)-dione, acridine-1,8(2H,5H)-dione and various multi-substituted quinoline-3-carbonitrile derivatives has been developed through the Michael addition to enaminones, which was achieved by both microwave irradiation and conventional heating.

The palladium(II) dimer, [Pd(C,N-C(6)H(4)CH(2)NMe(2))Cl](2) reacts with two equivalents of the NHC·CS(2) zwitterionic ligands [NHC = IPr (1,3-diisopropylimidazol-2-ylidene), ICy (1,3-dicyclohexylimidazol-2-ylidene), IMes (1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene), IDip (1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene), SIMes (1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene)] in the ...

In this letter, we report a novel synthesis of ethyl quinoline-3-carboxylates from reactions between a series of indoles and halodiazoacetates. The formation of the quinoline structure is probably the result of a cyclopropanation at the 2- and 3-positions of the indole followed by ring-opening of the cyclopropane and elimination of H-X.

The study of the Vilsmeier-Haack reagent on 4-hydroxyquinaldines resulted in a new versatile intermediate 4-chloro-3-formyl-2-(2-hydroxy-ethene-1-yl)quinolines, which on further treatment with hydrazine hydrate yielded the desired diazepino quinoline derivatives. All the synthesized diazepino quinoline derivatives are screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities. Cytogenetic analy...

In the title compound, C(19)H(16)ClNO(2), the quinoline ring system is planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.008 Å). The phenyl group and the -CO(2) fragment of the ester unit form dihedral angles of 60.0 (1) and 60.5 (1)°, respectively, with the quinoline ring system.

In the title compound, C(11)H(8)ClNO(2), the quinoline fused-ring system is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.020 Å). The formyl group is slightly bent out of the quinoline plane [deviation of the O atom = 0.371 (2) Å].

Novel quinoline derivatives was designed as anticancer iron chelators. Structurally they combine active moieties of known quinoline and thiosemicarbazone bioeffectors. For the synthetic part of study we applied microvawe assisted techniques MAOS. Resulted compounds exhibited interesting anticancer activities against HCT116 cancer cells.
