Background: From a chemistry point of view, we hypothesized that superlative dual cytotoxicity-radical scavenging bioefficacies of series 4 FQs correlate to their acidic groups and C8-C7 ethylene diamine Chelation Bridge.

Methodology: Newly synthesized 16 lipophilic-acid chelating FQs have been screened for in vitro duality of proliferation inhibition and radical scavenging capacities.

Results: Substantially in LPS prompted RAW264.

Objectives: In this work, 9 lipophilic-acid chelating FQs (fluoroquinolones) comprising chelating groups  have been prepared, characterized and screened for in vitro cytotoxicity, radical scavenging and antiinflammation propensities.

Methods: Using sulforhodamine B colorimetric bioassay vs. cisplatin; FQs-inflicted reductions' of viability against breast T47D and MCF7, Pancreatic PANC-1, colorectal HT29, HCT116, SW620, CACO2, SW480 and Leukaemia K562 cancer cell lines were examined in quadruplicates/dose/cell line.

Background: Incidence rates and prevalence of cancer are substantially high globally. New safe therapeutic drugs are endorsed to overcome the high toxicity and poor safety profile of clinical anticancer agents.

Objective: As antineoplastic Vosaroxin is a commercial fluoroquinolone (FQ), we hypothesize that superlative antiproliferation activity of lipophilic FQs/TFQs series correlates to their acidic groups and C8-C7 ethylene diamine Chelation Bridge along with bulky dual halogenations.

Hyperlipidemia and oxidative stress have been implicated as contributing factors to the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Currently, a large number of antihyperlipidemic medications are conveniently available in the market. Nonetheless, the majority of antihyperlipidemics lack the desired safety and efficacy.

Fluoroquinolones (FQs) have been identified recently as potent inhibitors of pancreatic lipase (PL). The aim of this study was to synthesize novel FQs and triazolofluoroquinolones (TFQs) and to evaluate them in vitro with respect to their antilipolytic efficacy and potency properties. The PL-IC values of 12 FQs and TFQs (3 (a-c)-6 (a-c)) were in the range of 12.

Context: Dyslipidemia is a major risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases. Many dyslipidemic patients do not achieve their target lipid levels with the currently available medications, and most of them may experience many side effects.

Objective: The present work aimed toward identifying a new class of novel nicotinic acid-carboxamide derivatives as promising antihyperlipidemic compounds.

Abstract New 9-(alkyl/aryl)-4-fluoro-6-oxo[1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-h]quinoline-5-carboxylic acids and their esters were designed and synthesized. A detailed discussion of the reactions utilized in the preparation of the intermediate and target compounds is reported. All the newly synthesized compounds were fully characterized using all the physico-chemical means needed.
