with dihydropyrimidinone (DHPM) analogues as resistance reversal agents (RAs) and investigated their antimalarial activities based on DHPM’s resistance reversal abilities. The present study employed click chemistry to link DHPM and quinoline compounds which offered several synthetic advantages over the previously used amide coupling for the same hybrids. Among the synthesised compounds, 4 hybrids with

Conjugates between pharmaceuticals and small molecules enable access to a vast chemical space required for the discovery of new lead molecules with modified therapeutic potential. However, the dearth of specific chemical reactions that are capable of functionalizing drugs and bioactive natural products presents a formidable challenge for preparing their conjugates. Here, we report a support-free CuI-nanoparticle-catalyzed strategy for conjugating electron-deficient and electron-rich terminal alkynes with a ciprofloxacin methyl ester. Our conjugation technique exploits the late-stage functionalization of bioactive natural products such as tocopherol, vasicinone, amino acids, and pharmaceuticals such as aspirin and paracetamol to provide conjugates in excellent yields under mild and green conditions. This protocol also enabled the synthesis of (hetero)arene-ciprofloxacin 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles in good yields and high regioselectivities. These synthesized ciprofloxacin conjugates were evaluated in vitro for their antibacterial activity against a panel of relevant bacteria. A significant number of conjugates showed comparable activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Moreover, some conjugates exhibited less toxicity than ciprofloxacin against two mammalian cell lines, suggesting the utility for the future investigation of these compounds for in vivo efficacy and pharmacokinetic studies.

The propargyl ethers 7-chloro-(4-propargyloxy)quinoline, 1-propargyloxynaphthalene and 2-propargyloxybenzophenone react with [AuCl(PPh3)] in the presence of KOH to give the gold(I) alkynyl complexes [Au(CCOCH2Ar)(PPh3)] in good yields. The compounds were fully characterised by spectroscopic methods and were subsequently examined for their biological activity against four tumour cell lines as well as their activity against Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite responsible for malaria. The compounds show antiproliferative effects in human cancer cells with IC50 values ranging from 0.4–12 μM.
