Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is still a global disease threatening people’s lives. With the emergence of multi-drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis the prevention and control of tuberculosis faces new challenges, and the burden of tuberculosis treatment is increasing among the world. Ilamycins are novel cyclopeptides with potent anti-TB activities, which have a unique target protein against M. tuberculosis and drug-resistant strains. Herein, ilamycin F, a major secondary metabolite isolated from the marine-derived mutant strain Streptomyces atratus SCSIO ZH16 ΔilaR, is used as a scaffold to semi-synthesize eighteen new ilamycin derivatives (ilamycin NJL1–NJL18, 1–18). Our study reveals that four of ilamycin NJLs (1, 6, 8, and 10) have slightly stronger anti-TB activities against Mtb H37Rv (minimum inhibitory concentration, 1.6–1.7 μM) compared with that of ilamycin F on day 14th, but obviously display more potent activities than ilamycin F on day 3rd, indicating anti-TB activities of these derivatives with fast-onset effect. In addition, cytotoxic assays show most ilamycin NJLs with low cytotoxicity except ilamycin NJL1 (1). These findings will promote the further exploration of structure-activity relationships for ilamycins and the development of anti-TB drugs.

Abstract
Herein, we have developed a strategy of sequential C-H activations of indole to construct novel 2-alkynyl aza-spiro[4,5]indole scaffolds, which incorporated both alkyne and spiro-units into indole. Gram-scale synthesis and a one-pot, three-step synthesis demonstrated the utility of this protocol. Hybrid conjugates with an oseltamivir derivative further offered a powerful tool for the construction of a versatile spiroindole-containing library via click chemistry.

Abstract
Literature conclusively shows that one of the quinolinequinone analogs (6-anilino-5,8-quinolinequinone), referred to as LY83583 hereafter, an inhibitor of guanylyl cyclase, was used as the inhibitor of the cell proliferation in cancer cells. In the present work, a series of analogs of the LY83583 containing alkoxy group(s) in aminophenyl ring (AQQ1-15) were designed and synthesized via a two-step route and evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against four different cancer cell lines (K562, Jurkat, MT-2, and HeLa) and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) by MTT assay. The analog (AQQ13) was identified to possess the most potent cytotoxic activity against K562 human chronic myelogenous (CML) cell line (IC50 = 0.59 ± 0.07 μM) with significant selectivity (SI = 4.51) compared to imatinib (IC50 = 5.46 ± 0.85 μM; SI = 4.60). Based on its superior cytotoxic activity, the analog AQQ13 was selected for further mechanistic studies including determination of its apoptotic effects on K562 cell line via annexin V/ethidium homodimer III staining potency, ABL1 kinase inhibitory activity, and DNA cleaving capacity. Results ascertained that the analog AQQ13 induced apoptosis in K562 cell line with notable DNA-cleaving activity. However, AQQ13 demonstrated weak ABL1 inhibition indicating the correlation between anti-K562 and anti-ABL1 activities. In continuance, respectively conducted in silico molecular docking and Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion (ADME) studies drew attention to enhanced binding interactions of AQQ13 towards DNA and its high compatibility with the potential limits of specified pharmacokinetic parameters making it as a potential anti-leukemic drug candidate. Our findings may provide a new insight for further development of novel quinolinequinone-based anticancer analogs against CML.

Abstract
DFT-derived reactivity descriptors and Non-Covalent interaction (NCI) analysis were performed to rationalize the regioselectivity in the amination reaction of some isoquinolinequinone derivatives. Statistical analysis was performed to assess robustness of atomic charges to the basis set. Various electronic population schemes including Mulliken population analysis (MPA), electrostatic method (ChelpG), Hirshfeld population analysis (HPA) and Natural population analysis (NPA) have been considered. The results revealed that NPA was the most efficient for this purpose. NCI study using the reduced density gradient (RDG) was performed for revealing weak interactions. Domains defined by isosurfaces of RDG have been integrated to quantitatively study the strength of weak interactions and their stabilities have also been examined. Steric hindrance caused by coordination of ethanol with the neighboring carbonyl prevents the nucleophilic attack on C-6 and therefore leads to preferential C-7 substitution. The quantitative study of NCI clearly demonstrates that the hydrogen bond of carbonyl (2) is more stabilizing. Consequently, the high polarity of hydrogen bond on this carbonyl may explain the high electrophilicity of C-5 compared to C-8. Our work proved that the difference in local reactivity, as well as the steric hindrance are the key elements explaining the high regioselectivity exhibited by the amination reaction.

Abstract
The isoquinolinequinone (IQQ) pharmacophore is a privileged framework in known cytotoxic natural product families, caulibugulones and mansouramycins. Exploiting both families as a chemical starting point, we report on the structured development of an IQQ N-oxide anticancer framework which exhibits growth inhibition in the nM range across melanoma, ovarian and leukaemia cancer cell lines. A new lead compound (16, R6 = benzyl, R7 = H) exhibits nM GI50 values against 31/57 human tumour cell lines screened as part of the NCI60 panel and shows activity against doxorubicin resistant tumour cell lines. An electrochemical study highlights a correlation between electropositivity of the IQQ N-oxide framework and cytotoxicity. Adduct binding to sulfur based biological nucleophiles glutathione and cysteine was observed in vitro. This new framework possesses significant anticancer potential.

Abstract
In the search for new quinoid compounds endowed with potential anticancer activity, the synthesis of novel heterodimers containing the cytotoxic 7-phenylaminoisoquinolinequinone and 2-phenylaminonaphthoquinone pharmacophores, connected through methylene and ethylene spacers, is reported. The heterodimers were prepared from their respective isoquinoline and naphthoquinones and 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl alkenes. The access to the target heterodimers and their corresponding monomers was performed both through oxidative amination reactions assisted by ultrasound and CeCl3·7H2O catalysis "in water". This eco-friendly procedure was successfully extended to the one-pot synthesis of homodimers derived from the 7-phenylaminoisoquinolinequinone pharmacophore. The electrochemical properties of the monomers and dimers were determined by cyclic and square wave voltammetry. The number of electrons transferred during the oxidation process, associated to the redox potential EI1/2, was determined by controlled potential coulometry.

Abstract
The design of hybrid (chimeric) molecules containing two different pharmacophores connected via a spacer (linker) is a promising approach to the functionalization of natural compounds and potentially of drug molecules. These are important examples for the use of this approach with anthracycline antibiotics. The use of this methodology may help to eliminate some of the drawbacks of anthracycline drugs, e.g., high cardiotoxicity and MDR development.

Abstract
A broad range of 3-acyl-2,5-bis(phenylamino)-1,4-benzoquinones were synthesized and their voltammetric values, as well as in vitro cancer cell cytotoxicities, were assessed. The members of this series were prepared from acylbenzoquinones and phenylamines, in moderate to good yields (47–74%), through a procedure involving a sequence of two in situ regioselective oxidative amination reactions. The cyclic voltammograms of the aminoquinones exhibit two one-electron reduction waves to the corresponding radical-anion and dianion, and two quasi-reversible oxidation peaks. The first and second half-wave potential values (E1/2) of the members of the series were sensitive to the push-pull electronic effects of the substituents around the benzoquinone nucleus. The in vitro cytotoxic activities of the 3-acyl-2,5-bis(phenylamino)-1,4-benzoquinones against human cancer cells (bladder and prostate) and non-tumor human embryonic kidney cells were measured using the MTT colorimetric method. The substitution of both aniline groups, by either methoxy (electron donating effect) or fluorine (electron withdrawal effect), decreased the cytotoxicity in the aminoquinones. Among the members of the unsubstituted phenylamino series, two of the 18 compounds showed interesting anti-cancer activities. A preliminary assay, looking for changes in the expression of selected genes, was performed. In this context, the two compounds increased TNF gene expression, suggesting an association with an inflammatory-like response.
