... Refluxing a solution of 5-substituted thiophene-3-carboxaldehydes 30 and malonic acid in pyridine produced 5-substituted 3-(3-thienyl)acrylic acids 31, which upon heating with SOCl 2 in chlorobenzene underwent cyclization to produce the corresponding 3-chloro-thieno[2,3-b]thiophene-2-carbonyl chlorides 32 (Scheme 15) [37]. Thereafter, reaction of 32 with aniline derivatives in refluxing toluene afforded the 3-cholorothieno[2,3-b]thiophene-2-carboxamides 33, which were photochemically dehydro-halogenated to give the respective products 34 (Scheme 15) [37]. ...

The quinoline scaffold has become an important construction motif for the development of new drugs. The quinolones and their heteroannulated derivatives have high importance due to their diverse spectrum of biological activities as antifungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetes, anti-Alzheimer’s disease, antioxidant and diuretic activities. This review summarizes the various new, efficient and convenient synthetic approaches to synthesize diverse quinolone-based scaffolds and their biological activities. We also dealt with the important mechanism, the route and type of reactions of the obtained products. The biological activities of some heteroannulated quinolones were also discussed.

... The antiviral zidovudine, the anticancer 5-fluorouracil and the antifungal flucytosine ( Fig. 2) are among the pyrimidine-containing chemotherapeutics currently in use, [15] in addition to several pharmacological properties such as anticancer [16][17][18] and selective inhibitors for multidrug resistance (MDR).

A novel series of pyrimido[5,4-c]quinoline derivatives variously substituted at positions 2 and 5 have been synthesized, in good to excellent yields, via rapid base-catalyzed cyclization reaction of 2,4-dichloroquinoline-3-carbonitrile (5) with guanidine hydrochlorides 6a-c. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro antiproliferative activity. The most active hybrids 26a-d, 28a-d, and 30B were assessed against topoisomerase (topo) I, topo IIα, CDK2, and EGFR. The majority of the tested compounds exhibited selective topo I inhibitory activity while had weak topo IIα inhibitory action with compounds 30B and 28d, showed better topo I inhibitory activity than the reference camptothecin. Compound 30B, the most potent derivative as antiproliferative agent, exhibited moderate activity against CDK2 (IC50 = 1.60 µM). The results of this assay show that CDK2 is not a potential target for these compounds, implying that the observed cytotoxicity of these compounds is due to a different mechanism. Compounds 30B, 28d, and 28c were found to be the most potent against EGFR and their EGFR inhibitory activities (IC50 = 0.40±0.2, 0.49±0.2, and 0.64±0.3, respectively) relative to the positive control erlotinib (IC50 = 0.07 ± 0.03 µM). These results revealed that topo I and EGFR are attractive targets for this class of chemical compounds.

Isatins have been widely used in the preparation of a variety of heterocyclic compounds, where the skeletal editing of isatins has shown significant advantages for the construction of diverse heterocycles. This review highlights the progress made in the last decade (2013−2023) in the skeletal editing of the isatin scaffold. A series of ring expansion reactions for the construction of quinoline skeleton, quinolone skeleton, polycyclic quinazoline skeleton, medium‐sized ring skeleton, as well as a series of ring opening reactions for the generation of 2‐(azoly)aniline skeleton by the cleavage of C−C bond and C−N bond are highlighted. It is hoped that this review will provide some understanding of the chemical transformations of isatins and contribute to the further realization of its molecular diversity.
