    New quinoline derivatives: Synthesis and investigation of antibacterial and antituberculosis properties
    (Elsevier Masson SAS, 2010) Eswaran, S.; Vasudeva Adhikari, A.V.; Chowdhury, I.H.; Pal, N.K.; Thomas, K.D.
    Four new series of quinoline derivatives were synthesized starting from 2-trifluoromethyl aniline through multi-step reactions. In the reaction sequence,substituted aniline was cyclized to 4-hydroxy quinoline 1,which was then transformed to 4-chloro-2,8-bis(trifluoromethyl)quinoline 2. The key scaffold 4-hydrazinyl-2,8-bis(trifluoromethyl)quinoline 3,obtained from the compound 2,was successfully converted to target quinoline derivatives,viz. hydrazones 4aet,ureas 5aee,thioureas 6aec and pyrazoles 7aed,in good yields. The newly synthesized title compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli,Staphylococcus aureus,Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae (recultured) and antituberculosis activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and MDR-TB. Preliminary results indicated that most of the hydrazone derivatives demonstrated very good antibacterial and antituberculosis activities while other derivatives showed moderate activity. © 2010 Elsevier Masson SAS.

    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.
