2-Aminopyrimidine based 4-aminoquinoline anti-plasmodial agents. Synthesis, biological activity, structure–activity relationship and mode of action studies
摘要:
2-Aminopyrimidine based 4-aminoquinolines were synthesized using an efficacious protocol. Some of the compounds showed in vitro anti-plasmodial activity against drug-sensitive CQ(S) (3D7) and drug-resistant CQ(R) (K1) strains of Plasmodium falciparum in the nM range. In particular, 5-isopropyloxycarbonyl-6-methyl-4-(2-nitrophenyl)-2-[(7-chloroquinolin-4-ylamino)butylamino] pyrimidine depicted the lowest IC50 (3.6 nM) value (56-fold less than CQ) against CQ(R) strain. Structure activity profile and binding with heme, mu-oxo-heme have been studied. Binding assays with DNA revealed better binding with target parasite type AT rich pUC18 DNA. Most compounds were somewhat cytotoxic, but especially cytostatic. Molecular docking analysis with Pf DHFR allowed identification of stabilizing interactions. (C) 2012 Elsevier Masson SAS.

A quinoline-based cation sensor shows turn-off fluorescent behavior in the presence of Hg2+, Fe3+ and Cu2+ over other cations and offers discrimination of these cations from each other on the basis of the extent of quenching. The observed electronic absorption perturbations are in good agreement with theoretical (DFT, TD-DFT) calculations.
