Synthesis of 5-, 6- and 7-substituted-2-aminoquinolines as SH3 domain ligands

The Src homology 3 (SH3) domains are small protein-protein interaction domains that mediate a range of important biological processes and are considered valuable targets for the development of therapeutic agents. We have been developing 2-aminoquinolines as ligands for SH3 domains--so far the only reported examples of entirely small-molecule ligands for the SH3 domains. The highest affinity 2-aminoquinolines so far identified are 6-substituted compounds. In this article, the synthesis of several new 2-aminoquinolines, including 5-, 6- and 7-substituted compounds, for Tec SH3 domain ligand binding studies is presented. As a part of the synthetic investigation, the utility of different methods for the synthesis of 2-aminoquinolines was explored and potentially powerful methods were identified for the synthesis of 2-aminoquinolines with diverse functionality. Of the compounds prepared, the 5-substituted-2-aminoquinolines generally bound with similar affinities to unsubstituted 2-aminoquinoline, whilst the 7-substituted compounds generally bound with similar or lower affinity than unsubstituted 2-aminoquinoline. However, the 6-substituted-2-aminoquinolines generally bound with significantly higher affinity than unsubstituted 2-aminoquinoline. In addition, one 6-substituted-N-benzylated-2-aminoquinoline was also tested for SH3 binding and some evidence for the formation of additional contacts at other regions of the SH3 domain was found. These results provide new and useful SAR information that should greatly assist with the challenge of developing high affinity small-molecule ligands for the SH3 domains.     

Synthesis of derivatives of 7-iodo-4-aminoquinolines

7-Iodo- and 7,8-diiodo-4-(3-dimethylaminopropylamino)quinolines and 7-iodo-4-(3) dipropyl-aminopropylamlno)- and 7-iodo-4-(3-diallylaminopropylamino)quinoline were obtained by the reaction of 7-iodo- and 7,8-diodo-4-chloroquinolines with the corresponding diamines. The catalytic hydrogenation of 7-iodo-4-(3-diallylaminopropylamino)quinoline at normal pressure leads to 7-iodo-4-(3-dipropylaminopropylamino)quinoline.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 972–975, July, 1980.

Synthesis and Characterization of Novel 7-6-7 Ring-Based PCP Pincer Rhodium Complexes

Abstract

A series of Rh-PCP pincer complexes (^iPrPCP)Rh(L) bearing a novel alkyl–aryl mixed “7-6-7” ring skeleton has been synthesized and fully characterized. The 7-6-7 ring skeleton in the hydrido-chloro and carbonyl species was found to assume the cis and trans conformations, respectively, in solid state as determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. This suggested a flexibility of the backbone compared with the similar but strictly fixed anthracene backbone. Electron density on the central rhodium atom was investigated by IR experiments and by DFT computations. NMR monitoring of the reaction of the hydrido-chloro complex with base followed by application of H₂ showed the presence of what are likely to be the active 14e^? species and the dihydride derivative. Especially, noteworthy is the former that was found to be relatively stable, in contrast to the corresponding iridium complex.

6-(Acylmethyl)-7-hydroxypteridines 7-14 as well as the isomeric 7-(acylmethyl)-6-hydroxypteridines 15-22 were prepared by condensation of 5,6-diaminouracils 1 and 2 with ethyl aroylpyruvates 3-6 in pyridine and hydrochloric acid, respectively.

QSAR studies of some side chain modified 7-chloro-4-aminoquinolines as antimalarial agents

The quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) analyses were carried out for a series of new side chain modified 4-amino-7-chloroquinolines to find out the structural requirements of their antimalarial activities against both chloroquine sensitive (HB3) and resistant (Dd2) Plasmodium falciparum strain. The statistically significant best 2D QSAR models for Dd2, having correlation coefficient (r²) = 0.9188 and cross validated squared correlation coefficient (q²) = 0.8349 with external predictive ability (pred_r²) = 0.7258 and for HB3, having r² = 0.9024, q² = 0.8089 and pred_r² = 0.7463 were developed by multiple linear regression coupled with genetic algorithm (GA–MLR) and stepwise (SW–MLR) forward algorithm, respectively. The results of the present study may be useful on the designing of more potent analogues as antimalarial agents.

Synthesis and Antimycobacterial Evaluation of N-(4-(Benzyloxy)benzyl)-4-aminoquinolines

Tuberculosis remains a global health problem that affects millions of people around the world. Despite recent efforts in drug development, new alternatives are required. Herein, a series of 27 N-(4-(benzyloxy)benzyl)-4-aminoquinolines were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to inhibit the M. tuberculosis H37Rv strain. Two of these compounds exhibited minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) similar to the first-line drug isoniazid. In addition, these hit compounds were selective for the bacillus with no significant change in viability of Vero and HepG2 cells. Finally, chemical stability, permeability and metabolic stability were also evaluated. The obtained data show that the molecular hits can be optimized aiming at the development of drug candidates for tuberculosis treatment.
