A new pyrrolyl 4-quinolinone alkaloid with an unprecedented ring system, named penicinoline (1) was isolated from a mangrove endophytic fungus. The structure of 1 was elucidated by spectroscopic methods and comparison with its derivative, penicinotam (1a), an unexpected lactam that was obtained from 1 by intramolecular dehydration. The structure of 1a was unambiguously confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Penicinoline (1) showed potent in vitro cytotoxicity toward 95-D and HepG2 cell lines with IC(50) values of 0.57 and 6.5 microg/mL, respectively.

Six undescribed 4-quinolone alkaloids, including four racemic mixtures, (±)-oxypenicinolines A-D, and two related ones, penicinolines F and G, together with seven known analogues, were isolated from the mangrove-derived fungus Penicillium steckii SCSIO 41025 (Trichocomaceae). The racemates were separated by HPLC using chiral columns. Their structures including absolute configurations were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) experiments, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

The synthesis of pyrrolyl 4-quinolinone alkaloid, quinolactacide, and its analogues was successfully achieved using 9-azajulolidine (9-AJ)-catalyzed tandem acyl transfer-regioselective cyclization of ,-diacyl--alkynoylaniline derivatives. In addition, this organocatalytic reaction was successfully utilized for the synthesis of a variety of 3-acyl-4-quinolinones in moderate-to-good yields. Mechanistic studies, including a time course nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiment, indicated that the 1,4-addition of 9-AJ to an ynone system can be considered to be the rate-determining step in this quinolinone synthesis.

The irradiation in water of 1-ethyl-6,8-difluoro-7(3-methylpiperazino)3-quinolone-2-carboxylic acid (lomefloxacin), a bactericidal agent whose use is limited by its serious phototoxicity (and photomutagenicity in the mouse), leads to formation of the aryl cation in position eight that inserts into the 1-ethyl chain. Trapping of the cation was examined and it was found that chloride and bromide straightforwardly add in position eight, but with iodide and with pyrrole the 1-(2-iodoethyl) and the 1-[2-(2-pyrrolyl)ethyl] derivatives are formed. Flash photolysis reveals the triplet of lomefloxacin, a short-lived species (lambda max=370 nm, tau=40 ns) that generates the triplet cation (lambda max=480 nm, tau approximately 120 ns).
