A new series of 2,4-disubstituted benzo[g]quinoxaline molecules have been synthesized, using naphthalene-2,3-diamine and 1,4-dibromonaphthalene-2,3-diamine as the key starting materials. The structures of the new compounds were confirmed by spectral data along with elemental microanalyses. The cytotoxic activity of all synthesized benzo[g]quinoxaline derivatives was assessed in vitro against the breast MCF-7 cancer cell line. The tested molecules revealed good cytotoxicity toward the breast MCF-7 cancer cell line, especially compound 3. The results of topoisomerase IIβ inhibition assay revealed that compound 3 exhibits potent inhibitory activity in submicromolar concentration. Additionally, compound 3 was found to cause pre-G1 apoptosis, and slightly increase the cell population at G1 and S phases of the cell cycle profile in MCF-7 cells. Finally, compound 3 induces apoptosis via Bax activation and downregulation of Bcl2, as revealed by ELISA assay.
An acetylhydrazide derivative containing a quinazoline nucleus has been utilized to design and synthesize a series of 2,4-disubstituted quinazolines via reaction with several carbon electrophiles including 4-methoxybenzaldehyde and carbon disulfide as well as acetyl and benzoyl chloride. Another series of 2,3-disubstituted-4(3H)-quinazolinones has been also obtained from reactions of a 3-aminoquinazolin-4(3H)-one derivative with other carbon electrophiles, such as chloroacetamide, acetic anhydride, phenyl isocyanate, and ethyl chloroacetate. The structures of the new compounds have been assigned from their spectral data (IR, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR and MS) and elemental analyses. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against breast cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, cervical cancer, and human promyelocytic leukemia cell lines. All the tested compounds showed anticancer activity.
A new and potent class of quinoline derivatives against cancer
Monatshefte für Chemie - Chemical Monthly, 2015
A new class of 4-quinolinylhydrazone derivatives has been synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic potential against three cancer cell lines using the MTT assay. Compounds displaying more than 90 % of growth inhibition were evaluated for in vitro anticancer activities against four human cancer cell lines. The results were expressed as the concentrations that induce 50 % inhibition of cell growth (IC 50) in lg/cm 3. These compounds exhibited good cytotoxic activity against at least three cancer cell lines, with IC 50 values between 0.314 and 4.65 lg/ cm 3. These derivatives are useful starting points for further study for new anticancer drugs and confirm the potential of quinoline derivatives as lead compounds in anticancer drug discovery.

Due to a great deal of biological activities, quinoline derivatives have drawn attention for synthesis and biological activities in the search for new anticancer drug development. In this work, a variety of substituted (phenyl, nitro, cyano, N-oxide, and methoxy) quinoline derivatives (3-13) were tested in vitro for their biological activity against cancer cell lines, including rat glioblastoma (C6), human cervical cancer cells (HeLa), and human adenocarcinoma (HT29). 6-Bromo-5-nitroquinoline (4), and 6,8-diphenylquinoline (compound 13) showed the greatest antiproliferative activity as compared with the reference drug, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), while the other compounds showed low antiproliferative activity. 6-Bromo-5-nitroquinoline (4) possesses lower cytotoxic activity than 5-FU in HT29 cell line. Due to its the apoptotic activity 6-Bromo-5-nitroquinoline (4) has the potential to cause cancer cell death.
Synthesis of New Quinoline Derivatives as Inhibitors of Human Tumor Cells Growth
Archiv der Pharmazie, 2010
A series of new 8-[(2H-tetrazol-5-yl)methoxy]quinoline derivatives, their sugar hydrazones, and their Nglycoside derivatives were synthesized. Furthermore, the 1,2,4-triazole-3-one derivatives 3 and 4 were synthesized from the amidrazone derivative 2. Some of the newly prepared compounds demonstrated inhibitory effects on the growth of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells as compared with the activity of the commonly used anticancer drug, cisplatin. The results of antitumor evaluation revealed that compounds 2-5, 8b, and 12 inhibited the growth of cancer cells through their effect as free-radical regulators by increasing the activity of superoxide dismutase and depletion of intracellular levels of reduced glutathione, catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities, accompanied with a high production of hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide, and other free radicals causing the killing of tumor cells. The results suggested that the prepared compounds possess significant anticancer activity comparable to cisplatin and the antitumor activity of these prepared compounds was accompanied with a reduction in the levels of protein and nucleic acids.
Synthesis and evaluation of 9-anilinothiazolo[5,4-b]quinoline derivatives as potential antitumorals
European journal of medicinal chemistry, 2004
Five new 9-anilinothiazolo[5,4-b]quinoline derivatives (compounds 5, 7, 9, 10, 11) have been prepared. Some of the compounds were prepared by coupling properly substituted anilines to the novel compound 9-chloro-2-(methylthio)thiazolo[5,4-b]quinoline. Of these, compound 7 (9-anilino-2-[[2-(N,N-diethylamino)ethyl]amino]thiazolo[5,4-b]quinoline) showed the best cytotoxic activity in several cell lines. All compounds demonstrated DNA binding in nanomolar range. Compound 7 inhibited the 14 C-thymidine incorporation into DNA. Results indicate that these derivatives deserve more considerations as potential antitumoral drugs.

Synthesis and in vitro antitumor activity of new quinoxaline derivatives
European journal of medicinal chemistry, 2009
A series of novel 5,7-diamino-3-phenyl-2-benzylamino, 2-phenoxy, and 2-thiophenyl substituted quinoxalines has been designed, synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antitumor activity towards cell lines of nine different types of human cancers. Some of these compounds exhibited inhibitory effects on the growth of a wide range of cancer cell lines generally at 10(-6) M, in some cases at 10(-7) M and 10(-8) M concentrations. Within this series the benzylamino quinoxaline derivatives 1b-7b were the most active, whereas compound 2c showed the highest MG_MD value (-5.66).
Objective: The present investigation is designed to synthesize some new isomeric series of quinazoline-4-one/4-thione derivatives, depending upon on the pharmacophoric model of in-vivo anticancer activity by modifying the structures retaining the fundamental structural features for the activity and screened for their antitumor properties. Methods: A new series of 7-chloro-3-[substituted (amino/phenyl amino)]-2-phenyl quinazolin-4 (3H)-one/thione derivatives and 1-(7-chloro-4-oxo/-2-phenylquinazoline-3 (4H-yl)) substituted urea derivatives were synthesized. The reaction scheme proceeds through 7-chloro-2-phenyl-4H-benzo [d] [1, 3] oxazin-4-one which is the intermediate one. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were characterised from infrared (IR), H 1 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectra (m/z) and elemental analysis. The in-vivo antitumor activity was evaluated by body weight analysis, mean survival time and percentage increase in life span methods in Swiss albino mice bearing Ehrilich ascites carcinoma (EAC). Result: The physico-chemical and spectroscopic data established the synthesis of quinazoline derivatives with a common pharmacophore. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antitumor properties. Among the newly quinazoline derivatives screened, six compounds (IIh, IIi, IIj, IIIh, IIIi, IIIj)) have shown significant antitumor activity. Conclusion: The quinazoline derivatives obtained from the present study indicates that the amino group at 3 rd position and urea/thiourea group in phenyl hydrazine ring at 3 rd position of quinzoline skeleton are essential for antitumor activity. Compounds IIh, IIi, IIj, IIIh, IIIi and IIIj were found to be biologically active which may be useful as potential resource for the discovery of anti-tumor compound having common quinazoline pharmacophore with lesser toxic effects. Keywords: 7-chloro-2-phenyl-4H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-4-one, quinazoline derivatives, in-vivo anti-tumour activity.
