Synthesis and anti-cancer activity of 1,4-disubstituted imidazo[4,5-c]quinolines

Abstract: The synthesis and anti-cancer activity evaluation of fused imidazoquinoline compounds is reported in this paper. Yb(OTf)3 has been utilized as a catalyst for the synthesis of 1,4-diaryl substituted imidazo[4,5-c]quinolines via a modified Pictet-Spengler approach. The desired imidazole ring was synthesized from imines using TosMIC (toluenesulfonylmethyl isocyanide) and subsequently functionalized at the C-4 position yielding an imidazoquinoline skeleton. Importantly, the final step was carried out without the a… Show more

“…2 Therefore, the desired compounds were screened for their anticancer activity using MTT assay. 24 In order to validate the assay, standard anticancer drug camptothecin was used as positive control. According to the result, six most active compounds (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, 3j, 3k) were filtered by measuring their IC50 values against lung carcinoma cell A549 cells (Figure 2).…”

“…All synthesized compounds were also evaluated for anti-cancer activity and few compounds were found active, in which the highest activity was exhibited by 4-(2-bromophenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-imidazo [4,5-c]quinoline having IC50: 103.3 μM. [34] The mechanism for yerbium triflate catalysed cyclization is shown in Scheme 47. The electrophilic attack of imidazole ring followed by oxidative aromatization is envisioned as key step in the formation of final product.…”

“…Recently, Bhattacharya and co-workers reported an efficient protocol for the synthesis of 1,4-diaryl-substituted imidazo [4,5-c]quinolines through a modified Pictet-Spengler reaction of 2-(1-aryl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)aniline with aromatic aldehydes using 20 mol% of Yb(OTf) 3 as a catalyst (Scheme 129). 162 The reaction involves the formation of the imine followed by electrophilic attack on the imidazole ring at the C4-position. Finally, aerial oxidation results in the formation of desired product.…”
