Abstract

Hydroxyquinoline 1 reacts with ethyl chloroacetate in the presence of anhydrous K2CO3 to produce ethyl (quinolin-8-yloxy)acetate 2. Treatment of 2 with hydrazine hydrate forms 2- (quinolin-8-yloxy)acetohydrazide 3, which on condensation with various aldehydes 4a-e gives N'-{((1Z)-arylmethylene)-2-(quinolin-8-yloxy)}acetohydrazides 5a-e. These, on cyclization with mercaptosuccinic acid, yield (2-aryl-4-oxo-3-{((quinolin-8-yloxy)acetyl)amino}-1,3-thiazolidin- 5-yl) acetic acids 6a-e. Compounds 6a-e are further converted into acid chloride derivatives 7a- e by reaction with thionyl chloride. Subsequent treatment of 7a-e with N-hydroxysuccinimide in the presence of TEA furnishes the title compounds 8a-e. Antibacterial and antifungal activities of the final compounds have been evaluated and all the compounds have shown significant inhibition of bacterial and fungal growth.

Highlights

  • The importance of the quinoline nucleus has been well demonstarted as illustrated by the large number of patents employing such species as chemotherapeutic agents

  • A number of biological activities have been associated with quinoline-containing compounds such as anti-inflammatory, antiallergic[1], antimalarial[2], antibacterial[3], antiproliferative[4], anticancer[5,6] and antiparasitic[6] activities

  • We have synthesized a new class of combinational molecules in which all of these moieties are present

Abstract 8-Hydroxyquinoline 1 reacts with ethyl chloroacetate in the presence of anhydrous K2CO3 to produce ethyl (quinolin-8-yloxy)acetate 2. Treatment of 2 with hydrazine hydrate forms 2(quinolin-8-yloxy)acetohydrazide 3, which on condensation with various aldehydes 4a-e gives N'-{[(1Z)-arylmethylene]-2-(quinolin-8-yloxy)}acetohydrazides 5a-e. These, on cyclization with mercaptosuccinic acid, yield (2-aryl-4-oxo-3-{[(quinolin-8-yloxy)acetyl]amino}-1,3-thiazolidin5-yl) acetic acids 6a-e. Compounds 6a-e are further converted into acid chloride derivatives 7ae by reaction with thionyl chloride. Subsequent treatment of 7a-e with N-hydroxysuccinimide in the presence of TEA furnishes the title compounds 8a-e. Antibacterial and antifungal activities of the final compounds have been evaluated and all the compounds have shown significant inhibition of bacterial and fungal growth
