Brief introduction to quinoline:

Quinoline (1-azanaphthalene or benzo[b]pyridine) is a

stable base. Its derivatives represent the major class of

heterocycles and a number of preparations have been

known for a long time. The quinoline ring system occurs

in various natural products, especially in alkaloids. The

quinoline skeleton is used for many valuable synthetic

agrochemicals and to design many synthetic compounds

with diverse pharmacological activities.

The remarkable capabilities of quinoline alkaloids with biological activity have

received considerable attention from the chemical community, especially from

biochemists and synthetic organic chemists who are concerned with human and

animal health care problems. Quinine is a natural white crystalline alkaloid having

antipyretic, antimalarial, analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities and bitter taste.

It is a stereoisomer of quinidine. Quinine was the first effective drug for malaria

caused by Plasmodium falciparum, appearing in therapeutics in the 17th century.1

The best use of quinine is to treat malaria found by Charles Marie de La Condamine

in 1737. Quinine was extracted from the bark of South American Cinchona tree and

was isolated and named in 1817 by French researchers Pierre Joseph Pelletier and

Joseph Bienaime Caventou.

In 1959 Rao and Cullen2 disclosed the isolation of an initially un-named dark brown

metabolite of streptomycin floccules that exhibited striking activity against several

animal tumors.3,4 The same crystalline compound was isolated from

S. afrochromogens and S. echinatus. The active agent of all these streptomyces and

actinomyces species is streptonigirin.5 By applying variations on the same molecular

framework,6 two closely related antibiotics, streptonigrone7,8 and lavendamycin were

isolated. Looking to the literature scan, there are number of reports available that

covers the isolation, structure determination, synthesis and biological activity of

quinoline alkaloids from plant, microbial and animal sources,9-15 in which some of

the therapeutically active quinoline alkaloids are cryptolepine as an antimalarial,16-19

buchapine as an anti-HIV,20 semecarpifoline as an antiplatelet and aggregation,21

galipeine as an antimalarial and cytotoxic,22 and aaptamine as cardiac.23

Quinoline constitutes important key core units in a large number of

pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and in material science.24 Considerable interest has

been created in the chemistry of quinoline due to their wide spectrum of therapeutic

activities like bactericidal,25 anti-HIV,26 antimalarial,27 antitumor,28 inhibitors of

gastric (H+/K+)-ATPase,29 dihydroorotate dehydrogenase,30 5-lipoxygenase,31

leukotriene D4 receptor32 and anthelmintic.33

Methods for the preparation of quinoline:

Skraup synthesis:

The Skraup synthesis is probably the most important synthetic route for quinoline

derivatives. Quinoline is produced when aniline, concentrated sulfuric acid, glycerol

and oxidizing agent are heated together. The reaction has been shown to proceed by

dehydration of glycerol to acrolein; to which aniline then adds in a conjugate

fashion. Acid-catalysed cyclization produces 1, 2-dihydroquinoline, finally

dehydrogenated by oxidizing agent to give quinoline. Skraup synthesis is the best for

the ring synthesis of quinoline unsubstituted on the hetero-ring.34

Conrad-Limpach Knorr synthesis:

of two ways. The factors governing the manner in which condensation takes place

have been greatly clarified by Houser and Reynolds.35

Friedlander synthesis:

Friedlander36 obtained quinoline by the condensation of o-aminobenzaldehyde with

acetaldehyde in the presence of sodium hydroxide. The Friedlander ring closure

involves two distinct reactions: (1) Schiff base formation between the amino group of

aniline and the carbonyl group of acetaldehyde and (2) an internal Claisen type

condensation between the aryl aldehyde group and -hydrogen of the acetaldehyde.

Piperidine is used as a condensing agent.37

Besthorn and Fischer on the basis of Friedlander’s synthesis of quinoline

demonstrated the mode of formation of flavaniline.38 When acetanilide is heated with

zinc chloride, the acetyl group migrates in part to ortho and para position. The

resulting o-acetyl aniline and p-acetyl aniline then undergo condensation by

Friedlander’s synthesis of quinoline to yield flavaniline.

Doebner-Von Miller synthesis:

This is a modification of Skraup synthesis of quinolines and consists in heating

primary aromatic amine and aldehydes with sulfuric acid.39 In this synthesis

glycerol is replaced by two molecules of aldehydes40. The ,β-unsaturated aldehydes,

initially formed from two molecules of aldehydes by acid-catalysed aldol

condensation, reacts with aniline to give secondary amine. Its cyclization in presence

strong acid in dehydrogenation yields quinoline homologue. It is believed that the

oxidative step is brought about by the action of Schiff base produced in situ (from

aniline and aldehyde).

Combes synthesis:

Combes method resembles Conrad-Limpach-Knorr synthesis so closely that it must

be classed as a variant of this method. Aromatic amines are condensed with 1,3-

diketones and the resulting substances are then ring-closed to 2,4-disubstituted

quinolines.41

Pfitzinger synthesis:

The reaction was carried out by Pfitzinger in 1886, by boiling isatin with sodium

hydroxide solution and the resulting keto-acid is condensed directly with ketone.

Isatin is hydrolysed to an o-amino keto acid which condenses with ketones or acids

that have a reactive methylene group.42

Some other methods for the synthesis of quinoline and its various derivatives have

been reported in literature.43-45 In the broad field of quinoline, 2-chloro-3-formyl

quinoline possesses a prominent position in the intermediate category as it can be

utilized for the synthesis of many heterocyclic compounds. There has been relentless

interest towards the use of Vilsmeier-Haack reagent in organic synthesis of several

nitrogen and oxygen heterocycles. It is proved to be a mild and efficient method for

the formylation46-48 of reactive aromatic, heteroaromatic and carbonyl compounds.

The utility of this reagent also explores a powerful route for the synthesis of

substituted 2-chloro-3-formyl quinoline. Meth-Cohn et al49 have shown that

treatment of acetanilide with Vilsmeier-Haack reagent using POCl3 allows the

preparation of 2-chloro-3-formyl quinoline (1).

Introductory features of pyrimidine:

Pyrimidine is the most important member of all the diazines as this ring system

occurs widely in living organism. Pinner67 was the man who first gave the name

pyrimidine to the unsubstituted parent ring. The chemistry68,69 of pyrimidine has

been widely studied in detail. Derivatives of barbituric acid (35), i.e. oxygenated

pyrimidines are perhaps the most widely used in medicine. For example veronal (36)

is used as hypnotics while sodium pentothal (37) is used as an anaesthetic.

Three pyrimidines are of considerable biological importance because of their relation

to the nucleic acid, these are uracil (40a), thymine (40b) and cytosine (41). These

are known to be concerned principally with the biosynthesis of complex

carbohydrates and lipids. The purine ring system obtained from the fusion of

pyrimidine and imidazole nuclei is very important because certain of its derivatives,

as example adenine (42), are building block of RNA and DNA. Many substituted

pyrimidines and compounds in which pyrimidine ring is a part of a more complex

ring system are very widely distributed. Vitamin B1, B2 and B10 are pyrimidines.

Certain pyrimidine ribosides and deoxyribosides called nucleosides occur as

phosphoric esters. Some coenzymes are nucleotides that play a key role in metabolic

processes. Hence, at present research is focused on the chemistry of pyrimidines.

In medicinal chemistry,71 pyrimidine derivatives have been very well known for their

therapeutic applications. The presence of a pyrimidine base in thymine, cytosine

and uracil, which is an essential building block of nucleic acids, DNA and RNA is

one possible reason for its activity. Compounds having pyrimidine nucleus possess

broad range of biological activities, like 5-fluorouracil as anticancer; idoxuridine and

trifluridine as antiviral; zidovudine and stavudine as anti-HIV; trimethoprim,

sulphamethiazine and sulphadiazine as antibacterial; sulphadoxin as antimalerial

and antibacterial; minoxidil and prazosin as antihypertensive; barbiturates e.g.

phenobarbitone as sedative, hypnotics and anticonvulsant; propylthiouracil as

antithyroid; thionsylamine as H1-antihistamine; and toxoflavin and fervennuline as

antibiotics.

Synthetic study of pyrimidines:

Chalcone derivatives72 are important starting materials for the syntheses of different

classes of heterocyclic compounds such as pyrazolines, thiophenes and pyrimidines

etc. Most of these compounds are highly bioactive and are widely used in

pharmaceutics. Since the late 1980s, tremendous interest in the pyrimidine

derivatives has been observed, as evidenced by the growing number of

publications.73,74 Many biologically active compounds found in the literature have

pyrimidone, pyrazole or quinoline constituents in their structures.75-78 Recently,

Studies on potential antimicrobial agents

Page 71

pyrimidine derivatives were found to be associated with biological activities such as

antimalarial,79,80 antibacterial81 and anticancer82 activities. Numerous methods have

been reported to prepare pyrimidine derivatives.83-86 Deshmukh M B et al87 have

carried out a green, simple and environmentally friendly approach towards one-step

synthesis of 2,6-diamino-4-phenyl pyrimidine-5-carbonitriles (43) by three-

component condensation of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile and guanidine

hydrochloride in aqueous medium using potassium carbonate in the presence of

tetrabutyl ammonium bromide. Here, tetrabutyl ammonium bromide was used

which helps for the uniform dispersion of organic compounds in water. The same

reaction was also extended for the aliphatic aldehydes like crotonaldehyde but was

not successful.

Pharma-significance of pyrimidines:

There has been considerable interest in the development of different types of

synthesis for the production of pyrimidines. This is because pyrimidines represent

one of the most active classes of compounds, possessing a wide spectrum of

biological activity.94-96 Pyrimidines and their fused ring derivatives have a broad

spectrum of biological activity; best known as heterocyclic core of the nucleic acid

bases. These ring systems are often incorporated into drugs designed for

anticancer,97,98 antiviral,99 antihypertensive,100 analgesic,101 antipyretic,102 anti-

inflammatory,103 antipsoriasis104 agents. Some of them are active in the blood

circulatory system105 and can stimulate the skin preparative regeneration and

increase the efficacy of antibiotic therapy of staphylococcus and proteus infected

wounds.106

Pirisino R et al107 have studied 2-phenylpyrazolo-4-ethyl-4,7-dihydro[1,5-

a]pyrimidine-7-one, FPP028 (59), for its analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory

activities. The anti-inflammatory property of FPP028 was evaluated by carrageenan-

induced paw oedema and cotton pellet-induced granuloma methods and found to

Page 75

possess activity similar to indomethacin, phenylbutazone and isoxicam. Similarly

FPP028 was shown to possess analgesic and antipyretic activities comparable to

former drugs. Modica M et al108 have synthesized some new

thiadiazolothienopyrimidinones and tested them for anti-inflammatory and analgesic

activities and found encouraging results. Cenicola et al109 evaluated some

imidazolo[1,2-c]pyrimidines (60) for anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic

activities. Desai et al110 have synthesized some new 4-(4-(4-aminophenyl)-6-(aryl)-

1,6-dihydropyrimidin-2-ylthio)butanenitriles (61) and tested them for antimicrobial

activity.

Nargund L V G et al111 reported the synthesis of few substituted 2-mercapto-3-(N-

inflammatory and antimicrobial activities. The compounds showed moderate to good

antimicrobial activity against various Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Inhibitory activity of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives (63) against c-Src kinase

for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke was also reported by Mukaiyama H et

al112. One of the synthesized compounds inhibited c-Src selectively and exhibited

satisfactory central nervous system penetration.
