Quinoline alkaloids N Quinoline nucleus (liquid, b.p. 238) -Quinoline is a colorless liquid with an odour similar to that of pyridine, miscible with most organic solvents and with water to the extent of 0.7%. A-Major example for quinoline alkaloids is Cinchona alkaloids (Rubiaceae) which represent pairs of diastereoisomeric alkaloids: quinine, cinchonine, quinidine and cinchonidine and their dihydroderivatives. Alkaloids 1-Source. 2-Biosynthesis. 3-Structures and chemical classes. 4-Preparation in brief. 5-Chemical testing and assay in brief. 6-Applications in therapy. 7-Related drugs. -Cinchona contains 6-7% total alkaloids, 1/2 - 2/3 of which should be quinine and cinchonidine. -Cinchona also contains minor alkaloids of quinoline and indole types such as cinchonamine and quinamine . B-Rutaceae quinoline alkaloids are derived from anthranilic acid e.g. skimianine and platydesmine. Structure of Cinchna alkaloids -The structure of Cinchona alkaloids can be dissected to two ring systems: quinoline and quinuclidine.

H2SO4 is treated with 3.5 ml of 1% iodine solution. On cooling green crystals of iodosulfate of quinine are obtained. 4-Rosquin test (Erythoquinine test): Dil. soln. of quinine + bromine water gives faint yellow color. Addition of 2-3 drops 10% Potassium ferricyanide + 2 drops of dil. NH4OH produces red color. Therapeutic uses of Cinchona alkaloids 1-Quinine: -It is an anti-malarial drug (Malaria is caused by protozoon Plasmodium falciparum). -It acts by intercalation with DNA double helix and complexes with toxic hemoglobin breakdown products formed by the parasite. -Quinine is now replaced by other synthetic anti- malarial agents e.g. chloroquin, but still used in case of drug resistance. -Quinine has also a mild curare- like skeletal muscle relaxant effect and thus used to treat nocturnal recumbency leg cramps especially in the elderly. -Other Cinchona alkaloids have anti-malarial effect also, but less effective than quinine. 2-Quinidine sulfate: -is the major alkaloid used from Cinchona. -It is used in treatment of different cardiac arrhythmias by membrane stabilization as it combines with Na+ channels in the membrane. -It inhibits fibrillation (uncoordinated contraction of the heart muscle - Quinidine is rapidly absorbed by GIT and overdose may lead to diastolic arrest, which makes it unsuitable as anti-malarial agent. -Quinidine gluconate is used in treatment of severe malaria caused by P. falciparum, but it's use is limited due to its effect on the heart. 3-Totaquin (Mixture of Cinchona alkaloids) has been used as substitute for quinine in time of shortages. Quinine and related alkaloids, especially quinidine were also isolated from the bark of Remijia pedunculata (Rubiaceae). Gravimetric estimation of total alkaloids 1-Known amount of Powdered Cinchona is treated with lead subacetate. 2-The mixture is extracted with ammoniacal alcohol in a soxhlet till exhaustion. 3-The extract is concentrated by removing most of the alcohol and treated with dil. H2SO4 to form alkaloidal bisulfate. 4-Acid solution is washed with CHCl3 and chloroformic extract is washed with H2SO4. 5-Combined acid solution is alkalinized with NH3 and extracted several times with CHCl3 till exhaustion. 6-Chloroformic extract is washed with little water and distilled in a tared dry flask. Alcohol (5 ml) is added and residue dried to constant weight at 100oC. Assay of quinine and cinchonidine 1-The residue containing total alkaloids, from the last experiment is converted to neutral sulfates, then to tartarates by treatment with sodium potassium tartarate. 2-The precipitated tartarate is decomposed by NaOH to give free bases which are extracted with CHCl3. 3-The chloroform extract is evaporated and dried at 100 oC. The amount of quinine and cinchonidine is weighed. An HPLC assay and separation of cinchona alkaloids has been published, J. chromatography 295, 276-281 (1984). Isoquinoline alkaloids *Many alkaloids contain the aromatic or reduced isoquinoline ring system. *Isoquinoline was first isolated and characterized from coal tar first and crude petroleum and occurs as a colorless liquid with benzaldhyde- like odour. N Isoquinoline *Isoquinoline alkaloids are widely-distributed in nature e.g. in families Rubiaceae (Ipecacuanha), Papaveraceae (Opium) and Menispermaceae (Curare). More than 700 isoquinoline alkaloids of Pharmaceutical interest have been characterized. *Isoquinoline alkaloids are generally biosynthesized from aromatic amino acids: phenylalanine and tyrosine. 1-Ipecacuanha alkaloids (Terpenoid tetrahydroisoqunoline alkaloids) -Source: alkaloids are localized in the cortex of the roots and rhizomes of Cephalis ipecacuanha and C. accuminata (Rubiaceae), which contain 2-2.5% total alkaloids, 70% of which is emetine. -Major alkaloids are emetine and cephaline, while psychotrine and its O-methyl ether occur in smaller amounts. MeO MeO MeO N MeO N NH H N OMe OR OMe OR R=Me, emetine R=H, cephaline R=Me, O-methylpsychotrine R=H, psychotrine *Psychotrine and cephaline are phenolic, while emetine and O-methylpsychotrine are non phenolic. -These benzyltetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids occur naturally mainly in Rubiaceae genera such as Cephalis and Pogonopus. They also exist in families Alangiaceae and Icacinaceae. Biosynthesis: Ipecac. alkaloids are biosynthesized from two dopamine and a secologanin molecule. Mannich reaction of one molecule of dopamine and one molecule of secologanin gives 3a- desacetylipecoside, which on reaction with a second molecule of dopamine produces emetine and related alkaloids.

Pharmacological actions and uses of Ipecac. Alkaloids 1-Emetine and cephaline are emetic alkaloids in case of drug overdose. They act by irritation of the stomach. Emetine also causes emesis by stimulation of chemoreceptor trigger zone 2-Cephaline is more toxic than emetine and in small doses, these alkaloids have expectorant effect (in this case, crude extract is used not pure alkaloid). 3-Emetine has been used to treat amoebic dysentery with no effect on bacillary infection. However, it is toxic and cumulative and the treatment should not be continue for more than 10 days. 4-Both emetine and cephaline are potent protein synthesis inhibitors acting at the stage of translocation. They have anti- tumor and antiviral effects but too toxic to be used therapeutically. 5-O-methyl psychotrine possesses fairly low effect on protein synthesis but showed promising ability to curb viral replication by inhibition of HIV-reverse transcriptase (potential to be used in treatment of AIDS infection). 6-Emetine inhibits protein synthesis in the animal and protozoon. It inhibits DNA synthesis and kills viruses but is not anti-bacterial. Emetine is extremely toxic causing cardiac

    Synthesis of Indole and Oxindole Derivatives Incorporating Pyrrolidino, Pyrrolo Or Imidazolo Moieties

    From DEPARTMENT OF BIOSCIENCES AT NOVUM Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden SYNTHESIS OF INDOLE AND OXINDOLE DERIVATIVES INCORPORATING PYRROLIDINO, PYRROLO OR IMIDAZOLO MOIETIES Stanley Rehn Stockholm 2004 All previously published papers have been reproduced with permission from the publishers. Published and printed by Karolinska University Press Box 200, SE-171 77 Stockholm, Sweden © Stanley Rehn, 2004 ISBN 91-7140-169-5 Till Amanda Abstract The focus of this thesis is on the synthesis of oxindole- and indole-derivatives incorporating pyrrolidins, pyrroles or imidazoles moieties. Pyrrolidino-2-spiro-3’-oxindole derivatives have been prepared in high yielding three-component reactions between isatin, α-amino acid derivatives, and suitable dipolarophiles. Condensation between isatin and an α-amino acid yielded a cyclic intermediate, an oxazolidinone, which decarboxylate to give a 1,3-dipolar species, an azomethine ylide, which have been reacted with several dipolarophiles such as N- benzylmaleimide and methyl acrylate. Both N-substituted and N-unsubstituted α- amino acids have been used as the amine component. 3-Methyleneoxindole acetic acid ethyl ester was reacted with p- toluenesulfonylmethyl isocyanide (TosMIC) under basic conditions which gave (in a high yield) a colourless product. Two possible structures could be deduced from the analytical data, a pyrroloquinolone and an isomeric ß-carboline. To clarify which one of the alternatives that was actually formed from the TosMIC reaction both the ß- carboline and the pyrroloquinolone were synthesised. The ß-carboline was obtained when 3-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester was treated with a tosylimine. An alternative synthesis of the pyrroloquinolone was performed via a reduction of a 2,3,4-trisubstituted pyrrole obtained in turn by treatment of a vinyl sulfone with ethyl isocyanoacetate under basic conditions.

The chemical starting point 20-phenylspiro[indoline-3,30-pyrrolidin]-2-one scaffold was identified by virtual fragment screening utilizing ligand- and structure based methods. As a part of the hit-to-lead optimization a structure-activity relationship analysis was performed to explore the differently substituted 20-phenyl-derivatives, introducing the phenylsulphonyl pharmacophore and examining the corresponding reduced spiro[pyrrolidine-3,30-indoline] scaffold. The optimization process led to ligands with submicromolar affinities towards the 5-HT6 receptor that might serve as viable leads for further optimization. Keywords: oxindole; indoline; coerulescine; 5-HT6R; G-protein coupled receptor 1. Introduction The recent isolation of naturally occurring and biologically active spiropyrrolidinyl-oxindole alkaloids initiated a significant research on synthetic derivatives [1], particularly compounds with the spiro[indoline-3,30-pyrrolidine]-2-one ring system.

    And 3-Vinylindoles As 4Π Components in Cycloaddition Reactions

    2- and 3-Vinylindoles as 4π Components in Cycloaddition Reactions [a] [a] [a] Elisabetta Rossi,* Giorgio Abbiati, and Valentina Pirovano [a] Dipartimento di Scienze Farmaceutiche, Sezione di Chimica Generale e Organica “A. Marchesini”, 21, Via Venezian, 20133 Milano, Italy E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The review summarizes the most recent achievements in the chemistry of 2-vinylindoles and 3-vinylindoles. In particular, we focus on the behavior of these compounds as dienes in cycloaddition reactions. The majority of the literature in this field deals with [4+2] cycloaddition, and only one report of [4+1] cycloaddition has appeared in the literature until now. Thus, the main section reviews [4+2] cycloaddition with acti- vated cyclic and acyclic dienophiles under Lewis-acid catalysis or organocatalysis conditions. In addition, cycloadditions performed with simple -systems as dienophiles, occurring through activation by transition-metal catalysts, are reviewed. This section mainly involves the use of allenes as dienophiles under gold catalysis conditions. In both cases, the authors report excellent levels of diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity. Two separate subsections deal with the synthesis of natural compounds and with the use of methyleneindolinones as dienophiles. Elisabetta Rossi obtained her master's degree in Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technology in 1981 from the University of Milan. In 1984 she obtained a specialization qualification in Analytical and Chemical Methodologies for Fine Chemicals at the Politecnico of Milan. In 1984 she became Assistant Professor, and in 2001, after a four-year period at University of L'Aquila, she was appointed Associate Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Milan.

    Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors in Acute Lung Injury: What Are the Perspectives?

    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors in Acute Lung Injury: What Are the Perspectives? Daniela Mokra 1,* and Juraj Mokry 2 1 Department of Physiology, Jessenius Faculty of Medicine in Martin, Comenius University in Bratislava, 03601 Martin, Slovakia 2 Department of Pharmacology, Jessenius Faculty of Medicine in Martin, Comenius University in Bratislava, 03601 Martin, Slovakia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Despite progress in understanding the pathophysiology of acute lung damage, currently approved treatment possibilities are limited to lung-protective ventilation, prone positioning, and supportive interventions. Various pharmacological approaches have also been tested, with neuro- muscular blockers and corticosteroids considered as the most promising. However, inhibitors of phosphodiesterases (PDEs) also exert a broad spectrum of favorable effects potentially beneficial in acute lung damage. This article reviews pharmacological action and therapeutical potential of nonselective and selective PDE inhibitors and summarizes the results from available studies focused on the use of PDE inhibitors in animal models and clinical studies, including their adverse effects. The data suggest that xanthines as representatives of nonselective PDE inhibitors may reduce acute lung damage, and decrease mortality and length of hospital stay. Various (selective) PDE3, PDE4, and PDE5 inhibitors have also demonstrated stabilization of the pulmonary epithelial–endothelial barrier
