Investigating the antiproliferative activity of quinoline-5,8-diones and styrylquinolinecarboxylic acids on tumor cell lines
摘要:
The structure-activity relationships of new quinoline based compounds were investigated. Quinoline-5,8-dione and styrylquinoline scaffolds were used for the design of potentially active compounds. The novel analogues had comparable antiproliferative activity to cisplatin when evaluated in a bioassay against the P388 leukemia cell line. However, these compounds appeared far less efficient against SK-N-MC neuroepithelioma cells. Analogues without the 5,8-dione structure but containing the 8-carboxylic acid group were also found to induce antiproliferative activity. Hydrophobicity as measured by HPLC did not correlate with antiproliferative activity. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The lack of the wide spectrum of biological data is an important obstacle preventing the efficient molecular design. Quinoline derivatives are known to exhibit a variety of biological effects. lit the current publication, we tested a series of novel quinoline analogues for their photosynthesis-inhibiting activity (the inhibition of photosynthetic electron transport in spinach chloroplasts (Spinacia oleracea L.) and the reduction of chlorophyll content in Chlorella vulgaris Beij.). Moreover, antiproliferative activity was measured using SK-N-MC neuroepithelioma cell line. We described the structure-activity relationships (SAR) between the chemical structure and biological effects of the synthesized compounds. We also measured the lipophilicity of the novel compounds by means of the RP-HPLC and illustrate the relationships between the RP-HPLC retention parameter log K (the logarithm of capacity factor K) and log P data calculated by available programs.

An Efficient Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of Structurally Diverse Styrylquinolines
Aromatic aldehydes undergo condensation with quinaldines under microwave irradiation to afford structurally diverse styrylquinolines in high yields under solvent-free conditions. A comparison with the conventional method clearly indicates the advantages of the new protocol.
