Abstract
An expeditious metal free C-3 alkylation of indoles and its NIS-mediated deviation to indolo[2,3-b]quinolines is reported. This protocol, executed in aqueous HFIP has broad substrate scope and is well inclined towards the ideas of sustainable chemistry. Applications of these strategies in accessing bioactive natural products like vibrindole, norcryptotakeine, neocryptolepine and indenoindolone scaffolds has also been demonstrated.

Abstract
Cryptolepine, neocryptolepine, and isocryptolepine have remained popular synthetic targets ever since their isolation from the aqueous extracts of the West African climbing shrub Cryptolepis sanguinolenta. These natural alkaloids were found to contain significant antimalarial, antiproliferative and antimicrobial activities, making them ideal starting points for the development of novel drug candidates. As natural product synthesis is often plagued with step-heavy procedures and poor atom economy, the discovery of synthetic protocols addressing these concerns are sorely needed. In our laboratories, we have devoted our efforts into the development of regiodivergent synthesis whereby two of the indoloquinoline natural products, namely neocryptolepine and 11H-indolo[3,2-c]quinolines, could be assembled in only a few steps from a common and readily available starting material. Our synthetic endeavors to meet these goals include a cascade palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyuara cross-coupling and intramolecular C-N bond formation and a photochemical nitrene insertion strategy. Furthermore, our methods also allowed for the construction of several diversely functionalized natural product derivatives which were subjected to biological evaluations.

Abstract
Norcryptotackieine (1a) belongs to the indoloquinoline class of alkaloids isolated from Cryptolepis sanguinolenta, a plant species that has been traditionally used as an antimalarial agent. Additional structural modifications of 1a can potentially enhance its therapeutic potency. Indoloquinolines such as cryptolepine, neocryptolepine, isocryptolepine, and neoisocryptolepine show restricted clinical applications owing to their cytotoxicity deriving from interactions with DNA. Here, we examined the effect of substitutions at the N-6 position of norcryptotackieine on the cytotoxicity, as well as structure-activity relationship studies pertaining to sequence specific DNA-binding affinities. The representative compound 6d binds DNA in a nonintercalative/pseudointercalative fashion, in addition to nonspecific stacking on DNA, in a sequence selective manner. The DNA-binding studies clearly establish the mechanism of DNA binding by N-6-substituted norcryptotackieines and neocryptolepine. The synthesized norcryptotackieines 6c,d and known indoloquinolines were screened on different cell lines (HEK293, OVCAR3, SKOV3, B16F10, and HeLa) to assess their cytotoxicity. Norcryptotackieine 6d (IC50 value of 3.1 μM) showed 2-fold less potency when compared to the natural indoloquinoline cryptolepine 1c (IC50 value of 1.64 μM) in OVCAR3 (ovarian adenocarcinoma) cell lines.

Abstract
The Plasmodium falciparum dihydrofolate reductase (PfDHFR) and dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (PfDHODH) are essential for Plasmodium falciparum growth and development, and have been validated as targets for the development of new antimalarial agents. Several alkaloids isolated from Cryptolepis sanguinolenta have been reported to have antiplasmodial activity, but their protein targets are unknown. Therefore, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate the interactions and stability of the alkaloids with PfDHFR and PfDHODH. Based on physicochemical characteristics, alkaloids were grouped as sterically bulky (sb) or planar (pg). Docking results revealed strong binding affinities (−6.0 to −13.4 kcal/mol) of the alkaloids against PfDHODH and various strains of PfDHFR while interacting with key residues such as Asp54 and Phe58 in PfDHFR. The pg alkaloids had high binding affinity and preference for the inhibitor binding domain over the flavin mononucleotide (FMN) binding domain in PfDHODH due to size considerations. From the molecular dynamics trajectories, protein-alkaloid complexes were stable throughout the simulation, with supporting evidence from root mean square deviations, root mean square fluctuations, radius of gyration, free binding energies, and other parameters. We report herein that biscryptolepine and cryptomisrine (sb class), as well as cryptolepinone, cryptoheptine, cryptolepine, and neocryptolepine (pg class), are capable of inhibiting PfDHFR effectively in pyrimethamine sensitive and resistant cells. Also, our results show that alkaloids of the pg class can inhibit PfDHODH as FMN decoys, as well as direct enzyme inhibitors, thereby halting crucial protein function.

Abstract
Based on the structural characteristics of the cryptolepine alkaloid, a series of new quindoline derivatives bearing various substituents were prepared and evaluated for their fungicidal and antibacterial activities. Bioassay results showed that compound D7 displayed superior in vitro fungicidal activities against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium graminearum, and Rhizoctonia solani with EC50 values of 0.780, 3.62, 1.59, and 2.85 μg/mL, respectively. Compound A7 showed apparent antibacterial activities toward Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 3.12 μg/mL. Significantly, in vivo antifungal activity suggested that the curative effect (98.3%) of compound D7 was comparable to that of the positive control azoxystrobin (96.7%) at 100 μg/mL. Preliminary mechanistic studies showed that compound D7 might cause mycelial abnormality of S. sclerotiorum, cell membrane breakage, accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and inhibition of sclerotia formation. Therefore, compound D7 could be a novel broad-spectrum fungicidal candidate against plant fungal diseases.

Abstract
Various functionalised 4-amino-2-(methylthio)quinolines are synthesised through triflic acid-mediated N-heteroannulation of α-functionalized-β-anilino-β-(methylthio)acrylonitriles for the first time. The N-heteroannulation process is highly chemoselective and has mild reaction conditions. However, this process fails in the absence of the β-methylthio group in the acrylonitriles. In addition, a new double N-heteroannulation process is demonstrated to synthesise indolo[3,2-c]quinolines from non-heterocyclic precursors. Natural product isocryptolepine is synthesised in four steps from an acyclic precursor.

Abstract
Neocryptolepine (5-methyl-5H-indolo[2,3-b] quinoline) analogs were synthesized and evaluated in vitro and in vivo for their effect versus Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC). The analogs showed stronger cytotoxic activity against EAC cells than the reference drug. The in vivo evaluation of the target compounds against EAC-induced solid tumor in the female albino Swiss mice revealed a remarkable decrease in the tumor volume (TV) and hepatic lipid peroxidation. A noticeable increase of both superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) levels was reported (p < 0.001), which set-forth proof of their antioxidant effect. In addition, the in vitro antioxidant activity of the neocryptolepine analogs was screened out using the DPPH method and showed promising activities activity. The histopathological investigations affirmed that the tested analogs have a remarkable curative effect on solid tumors with minimal side-effect on the liver. The study also includes illustrated mechanism of the antitumor activity at the cell level by flow cytometry. The cell cycle analysis showed that the neocryptolepine analogs extensively increase the aggregation of tumor cells in three phases of the cell cycle (G0/G1, S and G2/M) with the emergence of a hypo-diploid DNA content peak (sub-G1) in the cell cycle experiments, which is a clear-cut for the apoptotic cell population. Furthermore, the immunological study manifested a significant elevation in splenic lymphocyte count (p < 0.001) with the elevation of the responsiveness of lymphocytes to phytohemagglutinin (PHA). These results indicate that these naturally-based neocryptolepine alkaloids exhibit marked antitumor activity in vivo and represent an important lead in the development of natural-based anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Cryptosanguinolentine (isocryptolepine) is one of the minor naturally-occurring monomeric indoloquinoline alkaloids, isolated from the West African climbing shrub Cryptolepis sanguinolenta. The natural product displays such a simple and unique skeleton, which chemists became interested in well before it was found in Nature. Because of its structure and biological activity, the natural product has been targeted for synthesis on numerous occasions, employing a wide range of different strategies. Hence, discussed here are aspects related to the isolation of isocryptolepine, as well as the various approaches toward its total synthesis.

Abstract
Aim: Cancer is a major health burden and a leading cause of death worldwide. We sought to discover potential anticancer molecules with novel scaffold for further development of more active agents to address the issue. Methodology: A series of β-carboline-1-one hydantoins were designed according to a conformational restriction strategy, synthesized via a one-pot Knoevenagel condensation-intramolecular cyclization, and tested in cytotoxicity assays. Results: The study culminated in the identification of 6b and 6c, both of which were found to potently inhibit breast and lung cancer cell lines. Of particular interest was 6c, which was 83 times more potent an inhibitor than 5-fluorouracil in inhibiting MCF-7. Conclusion: This work establishes β-carboline-1-one hydantoin as a promising scaffold in the investigation of anticancer agents.

Abstract
Silver carbonate (Ag2CO3), a common transition metal-based inorganic carbonate, is widely utilized in palladium-catalyzed C–H activations as an oxidant in the redox cycle. Silver carbonate can also act as an external base in the reaction medium, especially in organic solvents with acidic protons. Its superior alkynophilicity and basicity make silver carbonate an ideal catalyst for organic reactions with alkynes, carboxylic acids, and related compounds. This review describes recent reports of silver carbonate-catalyzed and silver carbonate-mediated organic transformations, including cyclizations, cross-couplings, and decarboxylations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A non-hazardous synthetic methodology has been developed for the preparation of compounds based on indolofuroquinoxaline framework. Lemon juice that is known to play the role of a biocatalyst in various organic reactions was used for this purpose. METHOD A number of indolofuroquinoxaline derivatives were prepared via the lemon juice mediated condensation of methyl 2-(2-chloro-1H-indol-3-yl)-2-oxoacetate or its N-alkyl derivatives with 1,2- diamines under ultrasound irradiation. All the synthesized compounds were screened via an MTT assay for their potential anticancer properties in vitro using a number of cancer cell lines including MDA-MB 231, and MCF7, K562, Colo-205 and IMR-32 and the non-cancerous HEK293 cell line. Compounds 3a, 3b and 3c showed promising growth inhibition against K562, MDA-MB 231 and MCF7 cell lines but no significant effects on HEK293 cell line suggesting their selectivity towards cancer cells. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Moreover, according to their IC50 values, all these compounds appeared to be relatively more potent towards K562 cell line over MDA-MB 231 and MCF7 cell lines indicating their potential against leukemia.

Abstract
A novel three-component, two-step, one-pot nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr)-intramolecular cyclization-Suzuki coupling reaction was developed for the synthesis of benzo[h][1,6]naphthyridin-2(1H)-ones (Torins). On the basis of the new efficiently convergent synthetic route, a library of Torin analogs was synthesized. The antimalarial activities of these compounds were evaluated against asexual parasites using a growth inhibition assay and gametocytes using a viability assay.

Abstract
Neocryptolepine, which is a kind of tetracyclic indoloquinoline alkaloid, exhibits the inhibition of topoisomerase II and shows antiproliferative activity. The present study describes the synthesis and antiproliferative evaluation of several neocryptolepine analogues carrying a branched, functionalized dibasic side chain at C11. These 2-substituted 5-methyl-indolo[2,3-b]quinoline derivatives were prepared by nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) of 11-chloroneocryptolepines with appropriate 1,2- and 1,3-diamines. Some of the 11-(ω-aminoalkylamino) derivatives were further transformed into 11-ureido and thioureido analogues. Many of the prepared neocryptolepine derivatives showed submicromolar antiproliferative activity against the human leukemia MV4-11 cell line. Among them, 11-(3-amino-2-hydroxy)propylamino derivatives 2h and 2k were the most cytotoxic with a mean IC50 value of 0.042 μM and 0.057 μM against the MV4-11 cell line, 0.197 μM and 0.1988 μM against the A549 cell line, and 0.138 μM and 0.117 μM against the BALB/3T3 cell line, respectively.

Abstract
Quindoline (QUIND, indolo[3,2-b]quinoline) and cryptolepine (CRYPT, 5-methyl-10H-indolo[3,2-b]quinoline) together with their corresponding derivatives have been studied for decades due to their important biological activity against diseases like malaria. The biological activity of drugs is routinely investigated using fluorescence based methods. However, recent reports show that the photophysics of CRYPT and its analogues is not yet understood. Herein, the photophysics of CRYPT and QUIND is studied in aqueous solutions at different pH values and in both protic and aprotic solvents of different polarities. CRYPT and QUIND are shown to exist in different prototropic forms depending on pH and solvent polarity. CRYPT is found to be more sensitive to the solvent nature. Both compounds are shown to have two-photon stimulated emission. Their two-photon absorption (TPA) cross-sections were measured in the 710-960 nm range. The TPA cross-section is relatively low but allows for the observation of both compounds in HEK 293 T cells, where CRYPT is found mostly in the nucleus and QUIND accumulates in the cytoplasm.

Abstract
In an attempt to discover inhibitory compounds against pore-forming toxins, some of the major toxins produced by bacteria, we herein examined the effects of four kinds of indolo[3,2-b]quinoline derivatives on hemolysis induced by the aerolysin-like hemolysin (ALH) of Aeromonas sobria and also by the alpha-hemolysin of Staphylococcus aureus. The results showed that hemolysis induced by ALH was significantly reduced by every derivative, while that induced by alpha-hemolysis was significantly reduced by three out of the four derivatives. However, the degrees of reduction induced by these derivatives were not uniform. Each derivative exhibited its own activity to inhibit the respective hemolysin. Compounds 1 and 2, which possessed the amino group bonding the naphthalene moiety at the C-11 position of indolo[3,2-b]quinoline, had strong inhibitory effects on the activity of ALH. Compound 4 which consisted of benzofuran and quinoline had strong inhibitory effects on the activity of alpha-hemolysin. These results indicated that the amino group bonding the naphthalene moiety of compounds 1 and 2 assisted in their ability to inhibit ALH activity, while the oxygen atom at the 10 position of compound 4 strengthened its interaction with alpha-hemolysin. These compounds also suppressed the hemolytic activity of the supernatant of A. sobria or A. hydrophila, suggesting that these compounds were effective at the site of infection of these bacteria.

[PMID: 25412047 PMCID: PMC6271626 DOI: 10.3390/molecules191119021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2014] [Revised: 11/10/2014] [Accepted: 11/12/2014] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
A series of artemisinin-indoloquinoline hybrids were designed and synthesized in an attempt to develop potent and selective anti-tumor agents. Compounds 7a–7f, 8 and 9 were prepared and characterized. Their antiproliferative activities against MV4-11, HCT-116, A549, and BALB/3T3 cell lines in vitro were tested. Nearly all of the tested compounds (7–9, except for compounds 7d and 7e against HCT-116) showed an increased antitumor activity against HCT-116 and A549 cell lines when compared to the dihydroartemisinin control. Especially for the artemisinin-indoloquinoline hybrid 8, with an 11-aminopropylamino-10H-indolo[3,2-b]quinoline substituent, the antiproliferative activity against the A549 cell line had improved more than ten times. The IC50 value of hybrid 8 against A549 cell lines was decreased to 1.328 ± 0.586 μM, while dihydroartemisin showed IC50 value of >20 µM in the same cell line. Thus, these results have proven that the strategy of introducing a planar basic fused aromatic moiety, such as the indoloquinoline skeleton, could improve the antiproliferative activity and selectivity towards cancer cell lines.

Abstract
The 3-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) molecular modeling technique or comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) has been used to design analogs of the natural product cryptolepine (1). Twenty-three compounds with their in vitro biological activities (IC50 values) against Crytococcus neoformans were used to generate the training set database of compounds for the CoMFA studies. The cross-validated q(2), noncross-validated r(2), and partial least squares (PLS) analysis results were used to predict the biological activity of 11 newly designed test set compounds. The best CoMFA model produced a q(2) of 0.815 and an r(2) of 0.976 indicating high statistical significance as a predictive model. The steric and electrostatic contributions from the contour map were interpreted from the color-coded contour plots generated from the PLS model and the active structural components for potency against C. neoformans were determined and validated in the test set compounds. The 3-substituted benzylthio quinolinium salts (4) that make up the test set were synthesized and evaluated based on the predicted activity from the CoMFA model and the results produced a good correlation between the predicted and experimental activity (R=0.82). Thus, CoMFA has served as an effective tool to aid the design of new analogs and in this case, it has aided the identification of compounds equipotent with amphotericin B, the gold standard in antifungal drug design.

Abstract
The present report describes the synthesis and antiproliferative evaluation of certain 11-aminoalkylamino-substituted 5H- and 6H-indolo[2,3-b]quinolines and their methylated derivatives. These 5-Me- and 6-Me-indolo[2,3-b]quinoline derivatives 10-14, 20 were prepared by amination at the C-11 position of the 11-chloro-5-methyl-5H- and 11-chloro-6-methyl-6H-indolo[2,3-b]quinolines with different substituents on the quinoline ring. The 11-aminoalkylaminomethylated 23, the homologue of 11, was prepared from the same intermediate for a further SAR study. These intermediates are accessible from 4-substituted anilines or their N-methylated analogues and methyl indole-3-carboxylate as a counterpart. The in vitro antiproliferative assay indicated that the 5-methylated derivatives 10-14 are more cytotoxic than their respective 6-methylated 6H-indolo[2,3-b]quinoline derivatives 20. Among them, N-(3-aminopropyl)-2-bromo-5-methyl-5H-indolo[2,3-b]quinolin-11-amine 12f was the most cytotoxic with a mean IC(50) value of 0.12 μM against human leukemia MV4-11 cell line, and also exhibited selective cytotoxicities against A549 (lung cancer), HCT116 (colon cancer) cell lines and normal fibroblast BALB/3T3 with IC(50) values of 0.543, 0.274 and 0.869 μM, respectively. The binding constant of products 12f and 20f to salmon fish sperm DNA were also evaluated using UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, indicating intercalation binding with a constant of 2.93×10(5) and 3.28×10(5)Lmol(-1), respectively.

Abstract
Intramolecular inverse electron demand cycloadditions of isatin-derived 1,2,4-triazines with acetylenic dienophiles tethered by amidations or transesterifications proceed in excellent yields to produce lactam- or lactone-fused α-carbolines. Beginning with various isatins and alkynyl dienophiles, a pilot-scale library of eighty-eight α-carbolines was prepared by using this robust methodology for biological evaluation.

Abstract
Non-covalent binding of planar aromatic molecules into the S1 specificity pocket of the serine protease α-chymotrypsin (αCHT) can be detected by measuring induced circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopic signals. Utilizing this phenomenon, αCHT association of proflavine (PRF), the well known serine protease inhibitor has been investigated together with plant-derived compounds including isoquinoline, pyridocarbazole and indoloquinoline alkaloids, of which αCHT binding has never been reported. Non-degenerate exciton coupling between π-π* transitions of the ligand molecules and two tryptophan residues (Trp172 and Trp215) near to the binding site is proposed to be responsible for the induced CD activity. The association constants calculated from CD titration data indicated strong αCHT association of sanguninarine, ellipticine, desmethyl-isocryptolepine and isoneocryptolepine (K(a) ≈ 10(5) M(-1)) while berberine, coptisine and chelerythrine bind to the enzyme with lower, PRF-like affinity (K(a) ≈ 10(4) M(-1)). PRF-trypsin and ellipticine-trypsin binding interactions have also been demonstrated. The binding of the alkaloids into the S1 pocket of αCHT has been confirmed by CD competition experiments. Molecular docking calculations showed the inclusion of PRF as well as the alkaloid molecules in the S1 cavity where they are stabilized by hydrophobic and H-bonding interactions. These novel nonpeptidic scaffolds can be used for developing selective inhibitors of serine proteases having chymotrypsin-like folds. Furthermore, the results provide a novel, CD spectroscopic based approach for probing the ligand binding of αCHT and related proteases.

Abstract
Previous studies have indicated that the δ-carboline (2) ring system derived from the natural product cryptolepine (1) may represent a pharmacophore for anti-infective activity. This paper describes the design and synthesis of a small library of substituted δ-carbolines and the evaluation of the anti-fungal and anti-bacterial activities. An evaluation of the anti-bacterial activity of a previously reported library of ring-opened analogs was also conducted to provide an opportunity to test the hypothesis that both group of compounds may have the same biological target. Results indicate that against a selected group of fungal pathogens, substituted δ-carbolinium analogs displayed higher potency and several fold lower cytotoxicity than cryptolepine the parent natural product. Both the δ-carbolinium compounds and their ring-opened analogs, exhibited equally high anti-bacterial activity against the selected pathogens and especially against the gram positive bacteria evaluated.

Abstract
Ring-opened benzothieno[3,2-b]quinolinium salts (3) were designed and synthesized with substitution on the thiophene moiety. In vitro screenings were carried out against fungal pathogens including Cryptococcus neoformans, Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida krusei and Aspergillus fumigatus. In all, by replacing the N-methyl group (2) with N-ω-phenylpentyl or ω-cyclohexylpentyl group to form substituted 3-(phenylthio)quinolinium compounds produced remarkable potencies, as high as 300-fold (cf, cryptolepine (1)=250 μg/mL vs 11p=0.8 μg/mL for C. albicans) over the starting tetracyclic parent. In addition, all the N-ω-cyclohexylpentyl analogs produced superior activity against all the microorganisms tested than the N-ω-phenylpentyl substituted compounds. The potential of these compounds to induce toxicity in Vero cells was also investigated and the majority of them showed lower or no cytotoxicity at 10 μg/mL than amphotericin B, the gold standard in antifungal drug development. For instance, the trifluoromethyl substituted analogs (11n-p) have selectivity indices over 2-fold better than those of amphotericin B in C. neoformans. Overall, this ring-opened scafford of benzothienoquinolines, with substitution on the thiophenyl moiety, serves as a new lead for further development.
