N-Myristoyltransferase (NMT) is a prospective drug target against parasitic protozoa. Herein we report the successful discovery of a series of Plasmodium vivax NMT inhibitors by high-throughput screening. A high-resolution crystal structure of the hit compound in complex with NMT was obtained, allowing understanding of its novelbindingmode. A set of analogues was designed and tested to define the
A [4 + 2] annulation involving cascade Knoevenagel, aza-Wittig and dehydrofluorination reactions is developed for the synthesis of substituted quinolin-4-ols including analogs bearing CF2H, CF3, and C2F5 groups. This simple and highly efficient method is also applicable for the synthesis of substituted quinolines. A number of reported biologically active compounds can be readily prepared by this one-pot

Reactions of N-Hydroxysuccinimide Esters of Anthranilic Acids with Anions of .BETA.-Keto Esters. A New Route to 4-Oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic Acid Derivatives.
A new approach for the synthesis of 4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid derivtives is described. This methodology involves the C-acylation of the anions of appropriate β-keto esters with novel N-hydroxysuccinimide esters of anthranilic acids. The intermediate C-acylation products 3 are spontaneously cyclized to afford 3-ethoxycarbonyl-4-oxoquinoline derivatives 4. The introduction of a variety of substituents at positins 1 and 2 of the quinoline ring is feasible with the selection of suitable anthranilic acids and β-keto esters. The structure of the obtained 2-substituted 3-ethoxycarbonyl-4-oxoquinolines was confirmed by IR and NMR spectral data.
