A series of quinoline-3-carboxylic acid derivatives has been synthesized with easy reaction conditions (in aqueous micellar microreactors and using microwave irradiation) and tested for its biological activity against human African trypanosomiasis (HAT). From this series, several derivatives of quinoline-3-carboxylic acid such as 23 and 24 exhibited potent activity against Trypanosoma brucei in vitro and had low cytotoxicity. The combination of electron withdrawing and donating groups in the structure seems to be the crucial factor to inhibit T. brucei.

Lowering hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels from covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) and the integrated genome could reduce the persistence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Since HBV replication occurs in the liver and to ameliorate the peripheral neuropathy observed with a first-generation tricyclic 4-pyridone PAPD5/7 inhibitor () having high systemic exposure, we focused on increasing the hepatocyte concentration and reducing plasma levels. Optimization of a novel series of PAPD5/7 inhibitors that decrease HBsAg levels led to the tetracyclic 2-pyridone , which was similarly potent to and but showed dramatically higher rodent liver-to-plasma ratios.

The higher prevalence of cancer and the unmet need for antioxidant/anti-inflammatory chemotherapeutic compounds with little side effect are of utmost importance. In addition, the increased likelihood of failure in clinical trials along with increasing development costs may have diminished the range of choices among newer drugs for clinical use. This has dictated the necessity to seek out novel medications by repurposing as it needs less time, effort, and resources to explore new uses of a current or unsuccessful medication.

Novel antibacterial agents needed constantly to counter the ever emergent resistance development to commercially available drugs; one of the effective synthetic antibacterial classes is fluoroquinolone (FQ). This study includes structure activity relationship based design and synthesis of novel fluoroquinolone molecules active against resistant pathogens bearing mutations of DNA gyrase and/or topoisomerase IV which also express efflux pumps. Here, series of compounds were prepared by treating 1-cyclopropyl-6,7-difluoro-8-methoxy-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-quinoline-3-carboxylic acid as a core with various 4-substituted-3,3-dialkyl piperidines as side chains, through conventional synthetic approaches.

The small molecule 8-methoxy-2-oxo-1,2,4,5-tetrahydrocyclopenta[de]quinoline-3-carboxylic acid () behaves as a reactive non-fluorescent Michael acceptor, which after reaction with thiols becomes fluorescent, and an efficient Eu antenna, after self-assembling with this cation in water. This behavior makes a highly selective GSH biosensor, which has demonstrated high potential for studies in murine and human cells of the immune system (CD4 T, CD8 T, and B cells) using flow cytometry. GSH can be monitored by the fluorescence of the product of addition to (445 nm) or by the luminescence of Eu (592 nm).
