A simple and short approach for the synthesis of pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline (3a-3p) and pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinoline (6a-6h) using various Lewis acid catalysts was developed. InCl3 was found to be more effective in providing greater yield of products compared to Yb(OTf)(3), Sc(OTf)(3), SnCl4, AlCl3, TiCl4, ZnCl2, FeCl3, and BF3 center dot Et2O. Moreover, a comparison of conventional and microwave methods has revealed that the latter method is more efficient compared to former one. Structures were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared, mass spectrometry, H-1 and C-13 NMR, X-ray crystallography, and elemental analyses. All of the synthesized compounds were evaluated for alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Compounds 3a, 3p, 3i, 3h, 3k, 3o, and 3g exhibited anti alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 57.5, 60.3, 65.9, 71.9, 80.8, 123.7, and 126.4 mu M, respectively, which is quite comparable to the standard drug acarbose (IC50=115.8 mu M).
