Abstract

Thieno[3,2-c]quinoline-4-yl-amines - synthesis and investigation of activity against malaria pH-Dependant reduction of the methyl 2-(2-nitrophenyl)thiophene-3-carboxylate 3, formed by Suzuki coupling of methyl 2-iodothiophene-3-carboxylate (2) with 2-nitrophenylboronic acid, yielded the cyclic hydroxamic acid 4 and the lactam 5, respectively. The 4-chlorothieno[3,2-c]quinoline 6 was formed from the lactam 5 by heating with POCI3/PCI5s. Melting of 6 with the novaldiamine base in phenol gave the chloroquine analogue 7, whereas the amodiaquine and the pyronaridine analogues 8 and 9 were obtained using phenol Mannich bases. The reaction of 6 with putrescine and N,N'-bis(3-aminopropyl)piperazine as spacer formed the bisquinoline derivatives 10 and 11 as well as the monosubstituted quinoline 12. In the same manner the isomeric 4-chlorothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 13 reacted to yield the quinoline-4-yl-amines 14-16. The compounds 7-12 and 14-16 were tested for in vitro growth inhibition of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. As most active compound the pyronaridine derivative 9 displayed an IC50 value of 210 nM with the chloroquine sensitive P. falciparum strain 3D7 and 750 nM with the chloroquine resistant P. falciparum strain Dd2....Continue Reading
