[PMID: 38148301 DOI: 10.1002/ardp.202300513] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2023] [Revised: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/28/2023]
Abstract
A series of novel N-aryl-5-aryl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrimido[4,5-b]quinolin-4-amines 4a-4l was synthesized as potential anticancer agents through Dimroth rearrangement reaction of intermediates 3a-3c. Pyrimido[4,5-b]quinolines 4a-4l showed promising activity against the Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF-7) cell line, compared with lapatinib as the reference drug. Compounds 4d, 4h, 4i, and 4l demonstrated higher cytotoxic activity than lapatinib, with IC50 values of 2.67, 6.82, 4.31, and 1.62 µM, respectively. Compounds 4d, 4i, and 4l showed promising epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibition with IC50 values of 0.065, 0.116, and 0.052 µM, respectively. These compounds were subjected to human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) inhibition and showed IC50 values of 0.09, 0.164, and 0.055 µM, respectively. Compounds 4d, 4i, and 4l are good candidates as dual EGFR/HER2 inhibitors. The most active compound, 4l, was subjected to cell-cycle analysis and induced cell-cycle arrest at the S phase. Compound 4l induced apoptosis 60-fold compared with control untreated MCF-7 cells. 4l can inhibit cancer metastasis. It reduced MCF-7 cell infiltration and metastasis by 45% compared with control untreated cells.

Abstract
A series of N-arylpyrimido[4,5-b]quinolines 3a-e and 2-aryl-2,3-dihydropyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline-4(1H)-ones 5a-e was designed and synthesized as potential anticancer agents against breast cancer. Compounds 3e, 5a, 5b, 5d, and 5e showed promising activity against the MCF-7 cell line. Among them, compound 5b was the most active with IC50 of 1.67 μM. Compound 5b promoted apoptosis and induced cell cycle arrest at S phase. 5b increased the level of pro-apoptotic proteins p53, Bax, and caspase-7 and inhibited the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2. Furthermore, all the synthesized compounds were docked into the crystal structure of HER2 (PBD: 3 pp0). Compounds 3e, 5a, 5b, 5d, and 5e showed good energy scores and binding modes. Finally, Compound 5b was evaluated on the HER2 assay and revealed good inhibition with IC50 of 0.073 μM.

Abstract
A series of novel quinoline appended biaryls have been synthesized (5a-5o) by reacting various substituted boronic acids (4e-4h) with various substituted 2-(4-bromophenoxy)quinolin-3-carbaldehydes (3a-3d) through carbon-carbon bond formation. Effects of various quinoline appended biaryls (5a-5o) on the breast cancer protein 3ERT are moderate to high, as found by in silico molecular docking studies. Comparatively, all quinoline appended biaryls (5a-5o) 5h show better efficacy with a binding energy of -9.39 kcal/mol, and hydrogen bonds are Thr347, Glu353, and Arg394 in the binding pocket. Conclusively, the final novel quinoline appended biaryls (5a-5o) have been confirmed with all the spectral studies, and their efficacy has been validated with in silico studies.

Abstract
Tetrahydroquinoline (THQ) is an important structure for synthesizing multiple biologically active derivatives. Thus, we developed new quinoline derivatives and investigated them as anticancer agents. First, infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and other techniques were used to confirm the structure of synthesized compounds. Then, they were assessed in vitro against three human cancer cell lines. Consequently, four compounds, 10, 13, 15, and 16, were identified as promising anticancer agents with pyrazolo quinoline derivative (15) exhibiting the highest potential IC50 and a strong apoptotic effect on three cell lines.

Abstract
A class of substituted quinolines (PQs) acts as a gap junction enhancer with the ability to increase the gap junctional intercellular communication in breast cancer cells. This study examined the effect of a combinational treatment of PQs and the antineoplastic drug paclitaxel in a xenograft animal model. Mice were implanted with estradiol-17ß (1.7 mg/pellet) before the injection of 1 × 10 T47D breast cancer cells subcutaneously into the inguinal region of mammary fat pad. Animals were treated intraperitoneally with DMSO (control), paclitaxel (10 mg/kg), PQ (25 mg/kg), or a combinational treatment of paclitaxel and PQ. There was no significant difference between the paclitaxel-treated animals and the control group after seven injections of treatment for 2 weeks. All mice treated with PQ had a significant decrease in mammary tumor growth. The combinational treatment of paclitaxel and PQ1 or PQ7 showed a reduction in tumor growth by 2.3- and 2.2-fold, respectively, compared to paclitaxel alone after seven treatments every 2 days. Molecular analysis indicated a significant increase of gap junction proteins and caspase signaling in PQ and paclitaxel-treated tissues compared to control. Furthermore, there is evidence of an upregulation of Cyclin D1 expression in paclitaxel-treated tumors compared to control, suggesting that the neoplastic cells were highly proliferative and nonresponsive to the paclitaxel alone. We have showed for the first time an increase in the efficacy of antineoplastic drugs via the enhancement of gap junctions with PQs, a specific class of gap junction enhancers.

The chemistry and biology of this group have attracted the attention of chemists, medicinal chemists, and professionals in health sciences. A number of prescribed drugs incorporate this group, and numerous 8-HQ- based molecules can be used to develop potent lead compounds with good efficacy and low toxicity. This review focusses on the recent advances in the synthesis of 8-HQ derivatives with different pharmacological properties, including anticancer, antiviral, and antibacterial activities. For this purpose, recent relevant references were searched in different known databases and search engines, such as MEDLINE (PubMed), Google Scholar, Science Direct, Scopus, Cochrane, Scientific Information Database (SID), SciFinder, and Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) Web of Knowledge. This review article provides a literature overview of the various synthetic strategies and biological activities of 8-HQ derivatives and covers the recent related literature. Taken together, compounds containing the 8-HQ moiety have huge therapeutic value and can act as potential building blocks for various pharmacologically active scaffolds. In addition, several described compounds in this review could act leads for the development of drugs against numerous diseases including cancer.

Abstract
A series of six 3-aryl-6-(N-methylpiperazin)-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-a]phthalazines were prepared through a facile and efficient one-pot copper-catalyzed procedure from 4-chloro-1-phthalazinyl-arylhydrazones with relatively good yields (62-83%). The one-pot copper-catalytic procedure consists of two simultaneous reactions: (i) a direct intramolecular dehydrogentaive cyclization between ylidenic carbon and adjacent pyrazine nitrogen to form 1,2,4-triazolo ring and, (ii) a direct N-amination on carbon-chlorine bond. Then, an in vitro anticancer evaluation was performed for the synthesized compounds against five selected human cancer cells (A549, MCF-7, SKBr3, PC-3 and HeLa). The nitro-derivatives were significantly more active against cancer strains than against the rest of tested compounds. Specifically, compound 8d was identified as the most promising anticancer agent with significant biological responses and low relative toxicities on human dermis fibroblast. The cytotoxic effect of compound 8d was more significant on PC3, MCF-7 and SKBr3 cancer cells with low-micromolar IC50 value ranging from 0.11 to 0.59 μM, superior to Adriamycin drug. Mechanistic experimental and theoretical studies demonstrated that compounds 8d act as a K+ channel inhibitor in cancer models. Further molecular docking studies suggest that the EGFR Tyrosine Kinase enzyme may be a potential target for the most active 3-aryl-6-(N-methylpiperazin)-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-a]phthalazines.

Abstract
A series of novel 8-aminoquinolines (8-AQs) with an aminoxyalkyl side chain were synthesized and evaluated for in vitro antiplasmodial properties against asexual blood stages, liver stages, and sexual stages of Plasmodium falciparum. 8-AQs bearing 2-alkoxy and 5-phenoxy substituents on the quinoline ring system were found to be the most promising compounds under study, exhibiting potent blood schizontocidal and moderate tissue schizontocidal in vitro activity.

Abstract
An efficient synthesis of hexahydro-4-phenylquinoline-3-carbonitriles is described by the four-component condensation reaction of cyclohexanone, ammonium acetate, malononitrile, and aromatic aldehydes using Fe3O4@SiO2-SO3H nanoparticles as a superior and retrievable heterogeneous catalyst under ultrasonic irradiations. The reusability of the catalyst and little catalyst loading, excellent yields, short reaction times, using the sonochemical procedure as a green process and an alternative energy source are some benefits of this method.

Abstract
Human liver cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers worldwide. The development of resistance to therapy limits the application against the disease. To improve treatment, new effective anticancer agents are constantly pursued. Previously, we reported that an indolylquinoline, 3-((7-ethyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-methyl)-2-methylquinoline (EMMQ), is effective in suppressing the growth of human lung cancer by impairing mitochondria functions. The present study revealed that EMMQ inhibited cell growth and induced apoptosis in liver cancer cells, but not in normal cells. This study demonstrated that EMMQ induced DNA damage by activating p53 and γ-H2AX and cell arrest by suppressing cyclin D1 and CDK2. Damaged DNA injured mitochondrial functions by lowering the membrane potential and producing reactive oxygen species. The subsequent mitochondrial cytochrome c release attenuated pro-survival signals and increased apoptotic characteristics. Introduction of p53 shRNA abrogated drug effects by reducing DNA damage while maintaining mitochondria integrity. In brief, the study demonstrates that the effectiveness of EMMQ accentuated apoptosis of hepatocarcinoma cells by activating p53. Based on these collective findings, the study offered a new perspective of EMMQ that was shown to be a promising candidate to treat liver cancer.

Abstract
Identification of the novel (E)-N′-((2-chloro-7-methoxyquinolin-3-yl)methylene)-3-(phenylthio)propanehydrazide scaffold 18 has led to the development of a new series of biologically active hydrazide compounds. The parent compound 18 and new quinoline derivatives 19–26 were prepared from the corresponding quinoline hydrazones and substituted carboxylic acids using EDC-mediated peptide coupling reactions. Further modification of the parent compound 18 was achieved by replacement of the quinoline moiety with other aromatic systems. All the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anti-cancer activity against the SH-SY5Y and Kelly neuroblastoma cell lines, as well as the MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast adenocarcinoma cell lines. Analogues 19 and 22 significantly reduced the cell viability of neuroblastoma cancer cells with micromolar potency and significant selectivity over normal cells. The quinoline hydrazide 22 also induced G1 cell cycle arrest, as well as upregulation of the p27kip1 cell cycle regulating protein.

Int J Mol Sci 2016; 17:ijms17020178.

Abstract
The mechanism of gap junction enhancer (PQ1) induced cytotoxicity is thought to be attributed to the change in connexin 43 (Cx43) expression; therefore, the effects of Cx43 modulation in cell survival were investigated in mammary carcinoma cells (FMC2u) derived from a malignant neoplasm of a female FVB/N-Tg(MMTV-PyVT)634Mul/J (PyVT) transgenic mouse. PQ1 was determined to have an IC50 of 6.5 µM in FMC2u cells, while inducing an upregulation in Cx43 expression. The effects of Cx43 modulation in FMC2u cell survival was determined through transfection experiments with Cx43 cDNA, which induced an elevated level of protein expression similar to that seen with PQ1 exposure, or siRNA to silence Cx43 protein expression. Overexpression or silencing of Cx43 led to a reduction or an increase in cell viability, respectively. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family has been implicated in the regulation of cell survival and cell death; therefore, the gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC)-independent function of PQ1 and Cx43 in the Raf/Mitogen-activated protein kinase/ERK kinase/extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (Raf-MEK-ERK) cascade of cellular survival and p38 MAPK-dependent pathway of apoptosis were explored. PQ1 treatment activated p44/42 MAPK, while the overexpression of Cx43 resulted in a reduced expression. This suggests that PQ1 affects the Raf-MEK-ERK cascade independent of Cx43 upregulation. Both overexpression of Cx43 and PQ1 treatment stimulated an increase in the phosphorylated form of p38-MAPK, reduced levels of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, and increased the cleavage of pro-caspase-3. Silencing of Cx43 protein expression led to a reduction in the phosphorylation of p38-MAPK and an increase in Bcl-2 expression. The mechanism behind PQ1-induced cytotoxicity in FMC2u mammary carcinoma cells is thought to be attributed to the change in Cx43 expression. Furthermore, PQ1-induced apoptosis through the upregulation of Cx43 may depend on p38 MAPK, highlighting that the effect of PQ1 on gap junctions as well as cellular survival via a MAPK-dependent pathway.

Abstract
Six rhizobacteria isolated from common bean and able to protect bean plants from the common bacterial blight (CBB) causal agent, were in vitro evaluated for their potential antifungal effects toward different plant pathogenic fungi, mostly soil-borne. By dual culture assays, the above bacteria resulted producing diffusible and volatile metabolites which inhibited the growth of the majority of the pathogens under study. In particular, the latter substances highly affected the mycelium growth of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum strains, one of which was selected for further studies either on mycelium or sclerotia. Gas chromatographic analysis of the bacterial volatiles led to the identification of an array of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Time course studies showed the modification of the VOCs profile along a period of 5 days. In order to evaluate the single detected VOC effects on fungal growth, some of the pure compounds were tested on S. sclerotiorum mycelium and their minimal inhibitory quantities were determined. Similarly, the minimal inhibitory quantities on sclerotia germination were also defined. Moreover, observations by light and transmission electron microscopes highlighted hyphae cytoplasm granulation and ultrastructural alterations at cell organelles, mostly membranes, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum. The membranes appeared one of the primary targets of bacterial volatiles, as confirmed by hemolytic activity observed for the majority of pure VOCs. However, of interest is the alteration observed on mitochondria as well.

Abstract
A new series of fifteen 5-, 6-, and 8-appended 4-methylquinolines were synthesized and evaluated for their neural protective activities. Selected compounds were further examined for their inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) and protein kinase C (PKC). Two most potent analogs, compounds 3 and 10, show nanomolar protective activities in amyloid β-induced MC65 cells and enzymatic inhibitory activities against GSK-3β, but poor PKC inhibitory activities. Using normal mouse model, the distribution of the most potent analog 3 in various tissues and possible toxic effects in the locomotors and inhibition of liver transaminases activities were carried out. No apparent decline of locomotor activity and no inhibition of liver transaminases were found. The compound appears to be safe for long-term use in Alzheimer's disease mouse model.

Abstract
The advent of Camptothecin added a new dimension in the field anticancer drug development containing quinoline motif. Quinoline scaffold plays an important role in anticancer drug development as their derivatives have shown excellent results through different mechanism of action such as growth inhibitors by cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, inhibition of angiogenesis, disruption of cell migration, and modulation of nuclear receptor responsiveness. The anti-cancer potential of several of these derivatives have been demonstrated on various cancer cell lines. In this review we have compiled and discussed specifically the anticancer potential of quinoline derivatives, which could provide a low-height flying bird's eye view of the quinoline derived compounds to a medicinal chemist for a comprehensive and target oriented information for development of clinically viable anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Apoptosis, a programmed cell death, is an important control mechanism of cell homeostasis. Deficiency in apoptosis is one of the key features of cancer cells, allowing cells to escape from death. Activation of apoptotic signaling pathway has been a target of anti-cancer drugs in an induction of cytotoxicity. PQ1, 6-methoxy-8-[(3-aminopropyl)amino]-4-methyl-5-(3-trifluoromethylphenyloxy)quinoline, has been reported to decrease the viability of cancer cells and attenuate xenograft tumor growth. However, the mechanism of the anti-cancer effect is still unclear. To evaluate whether the cytotoxicity of PQ1 is related to induction of apoptosis, the effect of PQ1 on apoptotic pathways was investigated in T47D breast cancer cells. PQ1-treated cells had an elevation of cleaved caspase-3 compared to controls. Studies of intrinsic apoptotic pathway showed that PQ1 can activate the intrinsic checkpoint protein caspase-9, enhance the level of pro-apoptotic protein Bax, and release cytochrome c from mitochondria to cytosol; however, PQ1 has no effect on the level of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2. Further studies also demonstrated that PQ1 can activate the key extrinsic player, caspase-8. Pre-treatment of T47D cells with caspase-8 or caspase-9 inhibitor suppressed the cell death induced by PQ1, while pre-treatment with caspase-3 inhibitor completely counteracted the effect of PQ1 on cell viability. This report provides evidence that PQ1 induces cytotoxicity via activation of both caspase-8 and caspase-9 in T47D breast cancer cells.

Abstract
Animal models are commonly used to analyze the mechanism of carcinogenesis as well as the development and screening of potent drugs. Here the transgenic strain FVB/N-Tg(MMTV-PyVT)634Mul/J (also known as PyVT) was used as a model system for measuring tumor burden, drug sensitivity, and metastasis of mammary carcinomas. Loss of gap junctional intercellular communication and the down regulation of connexin expression are characteristic of neoplastic cells. The substituted quinoline, 6-methoxy-8-[(3-aminopropyl)amino]-4-methyl-5-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyloxy)quinolone (PQ1), has been shown to restore GJIC and increase connexin expression in breast cancer cell lines while not affecting normal mammary cells, suggesting that it may provide effective anticancer treatment with less detrimental effects. The PyVT spontaneous mammary tumor mouse model was used to determine the biological and histological effects of PQ1 on tumorigenesis and metastasis at three stages of development: Pretumor, early tumor and late tumor formation. Treatment with PQ1 at all three stages of development significantly reduced tumor growth. PQ1 treatment further increased Cx43 expression during pre- and early-tumor formation, while it prevented an increase in Cx46 expression during late stage tumor formation. This study shows that Cx43 expression and neoplastic cellular growth are inversely related, but that PQ1 can alter tumor growth through targeting gap junction proteins to prove clinical efficacy in the treatment of spontaneous mammary tumors.

Abstract
The loss of gap junctional intercellular communication is characteristic of neoplastic cells, suggesting that the restoration with a gap junction enhancer may be a new therapeutic treatment option with less detrimental effects than traditional antineoplastic drugs. A gap junction enhancer, 6-methoxy-8-[(2-furanylmethyl) amino]-4-methyl-5-(3-trifluoromethylphenyloxy) quinoline (PQ7), on the normal tissue was evaluated in healthy C57BL/6J mice in a systemic drug distribution study. Immunoblot analysis of the vital organs indicates a reduction in Cx43 expression in PQ7-treated animals with no observable change in morphology. Next the transgenic strain FVB/N-Tg(MMTV-PyVT) 634Mul/J (also known as PyVT) was used as a spontaneous mammary tumor mouse model to determine the biological and histological effects of PQ7 on tumorigenesis and metastasis at three stages of development: Pre tumor, Early tumor, and Late tumor formation. PQ7 was assessed to have a low toxicity through intraperitoneal administration, with the majority of the compound being detected in the heart, liver, and lungs six hours post injection. The treatment of tumor bearing animals with PQ7 had a 98% reduction in tumor growth, while also decreasing the total tumor burden compared to control mice during the Pre stage of development. PQ7 treatment increased Cx43 expression in the neoplastic tissue during Pre-tumor formation; however, this effect was not observed in Late stage tumor formation. This study shows that the gap junction enhancer, PQ7, has low toxicity to normal tissue in healthy C57BL/6J mice, while having clinical efficacy in the treatment of spontaneous mammary tumors of PyVT mice. Additionally, gap junctional intercellular communication and neoplastic cellular growth are shown to be inversely related, while treatment with PQ7 inhibits tumor growth through targeting gap junction expression.

Abstract
Collaborative research projects between chemists, biologists, and medical scientists have inevitably produced many useful drugs, biosensors, and medical instrumentation. Organic chemistry lies at the heart of drug discovery and development. The current range of organic synthetic methodologies allows for the construction of unlimited libraries of small organic molecules for drug screening. In translational research projects, we have focused on the discovery of lead compounds for three major diseases: Alzheimer's disease (AD), breast cancer, and viral infections. In the AD project, we have taken a rational-design approach and synthesized a new class of tricyclic pyrone (TP) compounds that preserve memory and motor functions in amyloid precursor protein (APP)/presenilin-1 (PS1) mice. TPs could protect neuronal death through several possible mechanisms, including their ability to inhibit the formation of both intraneuronal and extracellular amyloid β (Aβ) aggregates, to increase cholesterol efflux, to restore axonal trafficking, and to enhance long-term potentiation (LTP) and restored LTP following treatment with Aβ oligomers. We have also synthesized a new class of gap-junction enhancers, based on substituted quinolines, that possess potent inhibitory activities against breast-cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Although various antiviral drugs are available, the emergence of viral resistance to existing antiviral drugs and various understudied viral infections, such as norovirus and rotavirus, emphasizes the demand for the development of new antiviral agents against such infections and others. Our laboratories have undertaken these projects for the discovery of new antiviral inhibitors. The discussion of these aforementioned projects may shed light on the future development of drug candidates in the fields of AD, cancer, and viral infections.

Abstract
Gap junctions are intercellular channels connecting adjacent cells, allowing cells to transport small molecules. The loss of gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) is one of the important hallmarks of cancer. Restoration of GJIC is related to the reduction of tumorigenesis and increase in drug sensitivity. Previous reports have shown that PQ1, a quinoline derivative, increases GJIC in T47D breast cancer cells, and subsequently attenuates xenograft breast tumor growth. Combinational treatment of PQ1 and tamoxifen can lower the effective dose of tamoxifen in cancer cells. In this study, the effects of PQ1 were examined in normal C57BL/6J mice, evaluating the distribution, toxicity, and adverse effects. The distribution of PQ1 was quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. The expressions of survivin, caspase-8, cleaved caspase-3, aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), and gap junction protein, connexin 43 (Cx43), were assessed using western blot analysis. Our results showed that PQ1 was absorbed and distributed to vital organs within 1 h and the level of PQ1 decreased after 24 h. Furthermore, PQ1 increased the expression of survivin, but decreased the expression of caspase-8 and caspase-3 activity. Interestingly, the expression of AhR increased in the presence of PQ1, suggesting that PQ1 may be involved in the AhR-mediated response. Previously, PQ1 caused an increase in Cx43 expression in breast cancer cells; however, PQ1 induced a decrease in Cx43 in normal tissues. Hemotoxylin and eosin staining of the tissues showed no histological change between the treated and the untreated organs. Our studies indicate that the administration of PQ1 by an oral gavage can be achieved with low toxicity to normal vital organs.
