(Chemical Equation Presented) A series of twelve substituted 2-phenylquinoline-4-carboxylic acids analogous to antimalarial and antileishmanial natural products was developed via the Doebner reaction employing microwave irradiation (MW). The products were obtained in moderate yields in 0.5-3 minutes and nine of them were evaluated in vitro against the parasites responsible for malaria, leishmaniasis and trypanosomiasis diseases (WHO, Switzerland). Four compounds exhibited activity against Trypanosoma cruzi and another two resulted active against Plasmodium falciparum and Leishmania infantum, respectively.

A novel class of potent and selective non-peptide neurokinin-3 (NK-3) receptor antagonists, featuring the 4-quinolinecarboxamide framework, has been designed based upon chemically diverse NK-1 receptor antagonists. The novel compounds 33-76, prompted by chemical modifications of the prototype 4, have been characterized by binding analysis using a membrane preparation of chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing the human neurokinin-3 receptors (hNK-3-CHO), and clear structure-activity relationships (SARs) have been established. From SARs, (R)-N-[α-(methoxycarbonyl)benzyl]-2- phenylquinoline-4-carboxamide (65, SB 218795, hNK-3-CHO binding K(i) = 13 nM) emerged as one of the most potent compounds of this novel class. Selectivity studies versus the other neurokinin receptors (hNK-2-CHO and hNK-1-CHO) revealed that 65 is about 90-fold selective for hNK-3 versus hNK-2 receptors (hNK-2-CHO binding K(i) = 1221 nM) and over 7000-fold selective versus hNK-1 receptors (hNK-1-CHO binding K(i) = >100 μM). In vitro functional studies in rabbit isolated iris sphincter muscle preparation demonstrated that 65 is a competitive antagonist of the contractile response induced by the potent and selective NK-3 receptor agonist senktide with a K(b) = 43 nM. Overall, the data indicate that 65 is a potent and selective hNK-3 receptor antagonist and a useful lead for further chemical optimization.
