The present invention relates to novel hepcidin antagonists, pharmaceutical compositions comprising them and the use thereof as medicaments for the use in the treatment of iron metabolism disorders, such as, in particular, iron deficiency diseases and anemias, in particular anemias in connection with chronic inflammatory diseases.
The Skraup synthesis with m-ethylaniline has been shown to give a mixture of 7-ethylquinoline (75%) and 5-ethylquinoline (25%). Pure 7-ethylquinoline has been isolated as a solid. Nitration of 7-methyl- and 7-ethylquinolines gives only the 8-nitro derivatives; the minor products from the nitration of impure samples of 7-alkylquinolines arise from the 5-alkyl- contaminants. 5-Methylquinoline is nitrated
