BACKGROUND Quinoline ring has therapeutic and biological activities. Quinolyl hydrazones constitute a class of excellent chelating agents. Recently, the physiological and biological activities of quinolyl hydrazones arise from their tendency to form metal chelates with transition metal ions. In this context, we have aimed to study the competency effect of a phenolic quinolyl hydrazone (H2L; pri...

It has been found that certain urinary quinoline derivatives could be eluted from Dowex 50 (H+) columns by washing with a large volume of water (l-3). The present study concerns an examination of urine from normal swine and rabbits for various quinoline derivatives. Seven quinoline derivatives were identified in the urine of these two species, including two apparently new urinary products and t...

Maintaining quality and longevity of cut flowers is one of the critical issues in the floriculture industry, especially in cut flowers; and one of the most important problems in chrysanthemum, as one of the most popular cut flowers. Therefore, an experiment was conducted based on completely randomized design as pulse treatment with the three factors: tea extracts with 4 levels (5, 10, 20, and 4...

Effects of o-phenanthroline, 2,2'-dipyridyl and neocuproine, which form stable complexes preferentially with Fe(II), Fe(II) and specifically with Cu(I), respectively, on the inhibitory activity of bleomycin against DNA synthesis of rat ascites hepatoma AH66 cells were examined. The inhibitory activity of metal-free bleomycin was suppressed in the presence of o-phenanthroline or 2,2'-dipyridyl, ...

A series of novel quinoline-3-carboxamide derivatives 10-17 and 23-27 were designed and synthesized as cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors. All of them exhibited activity against CETP. Particularly, compounds 24 and 26 displayed the best activity against CETP with the same inhibitory rate of 80.1%.

In the title mol-ecule, C(28)H(20)Cl(2)N(2)O(2), the dihedral angle between the 2-chloro-quinoline and 6-chloro-quinoline rings is 7.55 (6)°. The dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and its attached quinoline ring is 62.59 (4)°. In the crystal, aromatic π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.771 (3) and 3.612 (3) Å] help to establish the packing.

Silicon containing pyridine and quinoline sulfides have been prepared using phase transfer catalytic system thiol/alkyl halide / solid KOH/18-crown-6 / toluene. The target S-ethers were isolated in yields up to 81%. The cytotoxicity of the synthesized compounds was studied. Among pyridine sulfides S-[3-(1-methyl- 1-silacyclohexyl)propyl] derivatives 5e and 6e exhibit the highest cytotoxicity. A...

In the title compound, C12H10ClNO3, the asymmetric unit comprises two independent mol-ecules, and the dihedral angle between the least-square planes of the quinoline ring systems of these mol-ecules is 73.30 (5)°. In the crystal, N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the independent mol-ecules lead to supra-molecular layers parallel to (-1-10); both N-H H atoms are bifurcated.

In the title compound, C18H13N3O2·H2O, the oxa-diazole ring forms dihedral angles 7.21 (10) and 21.25 (11)° with the quinoline and benzene rings, respectively. The crystal structure features O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds and is further consolidated by C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions involving the water molecule of hydration.

The title mol-ecule, C(11)H(10)ClNO(2), is almost planar with the C atoms of the meth-oxy groups deviating by -0.082 (2) and 0.020 (2) Å from the least-squares plane defined by the atoms of the quinoline ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.002 Å). An intra-molecular C-H⋯Cl inter-action generates an S(5) ring motif.
