    Synthesis and antimicrobial activities of novel quinoline derivatives carrying 1,2,4-triazole moiety
    (2009) Eswaran, S.; Vasudeva Adhikari, A.V.; Shetty, N.S.
    A new class of quinoline derivatives containing 1,2,4-triazole moiety were synthesized from derivatives of 4-hydroxy-8-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline-3-carbohydrazide 4 through multi-step reactions. The compound 4, on treatment with substituted Isothiocyanates yielded quinoline-thiosemicarbazides 5a-c, which were conveniently cyclized to (5-mercapto-4H-triazol-3-yl)-quinolin-4-ols 6a-c in basic medium. These intermediates were then transformed to their respective chloro derivatives 7a-c by treatment with phosphorus oxychloride, which on further reaction with different biologically active rare amines yielded the target compounds 8a-g, 9a-h and 10a-h in good yield. The ultimate step, involving nucleophilic substitution reaction was achieved by microwave-induced technique, which has reduced the reaction time drastically as well as improved the yield when compared to conventional heating. The newly synthesized final compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities against four strains each. Preliminary results indicated that most of the compounds demonstrated very good antimicrobial activity, comparable to the first line standard drugs. The most effective compounds have exhibited activity at MIC of 6.25 ?g/mL. © 2009 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

    Design and synthesis of some new quinoline-3-carbohydrazone derivatives as potential antimycobacterial agents
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2010) Eswaran, S.; Vasudeva Adhikari, A.V.; Pal, N.K.; Chowdhury, I.H.
    A series of 26 new quinoline derivatives carrying active pharmacophores has been synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antituberculosis activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (MTB), Mycobacterium smegmatis (MC2), and Mycobacterium fortuitum following the broth micro dilution assay method. Compounds 13e, 13i, 13k, 14a, 14c, 14i, and 14k exhibited significant minimum inhibition concentrations, when compared with first line drugs isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin (RIF) and could be ideally suited for further modifications to obtain more efficacious compounds in the fight against multi-drug resistant tuberculosis. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

    New 1,3-oxazolo[4,5-c]quinoline derivatives: Synthesis and evaluation of antibacterial and antituberculosis properties
    (2010) Eswaran, S.; Vasudeva Adhikari, A.V.; Ajay Kumar, R.
    A new class of fused oxazoloquinoline derivatives was synthesized starting from 2-bromo-1-phenylethanones 1a-b through multi-step reactions. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial against Escherichia coli (ATTC-25922), Staphylococcus aureus (ATTC-25923), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC-27853) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (recultured) and antituberculosis activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (ATCC 27294). Preliminary results indicated that most of the compounds demonstrated very good antibacterial and antituberculosis activities which are comparable with the first line drugs. Compounds 6a, 6c, 6g, 6j, 6k and 6n emerged as the lead antitubercular agents with MIC, 1 ?g/mL and 99% bacterial inhibition while eight compounds, viz., 5a, 15k, 6a, 6c, 6g, 6j, 6k and 6n were found to be more potent than INH (MIC: 1.5 ?g/mL) with MIC 1 ?g/mL. © 2009 Elsevier Masson SAS.
