Construction of the pyridine ring is a practical and streamline way to construct a variety of quindoline derivatives. We have developed a novel method for synthesis of quindoline derivatives by means of intramolecular ring-closure reactions of 3--methylphenylindoles an iminium salt intermediate. This practical method has the advantages of a short reaction time, operational simplicity, and nearly quantitative yields; and it can be used for the rapid synthesis of a variety of valuable quindoline derivatives.

NRAS mutation is the second most common oncogenic factor in cutaneous melanoma. Inhibiting NRAS translation by stabilizing the G-quadruplex (G4) structure with small molecules seems to be a potential strategy for cancer therapy due to the NRAS protein's lack of a druggable pocket. To enhance the effects of previously reported G4 stabilizers quindoline derivatives, we designed and synthesized a novel series of quindoline derivatives with fork-shaped side chains by introducing (alkylamino)alkoxy side chains.

Two total syntheses of quindoline, which take place through the intermediacy of 3-nitroquinoline derivatives, are reported. The general synthetic sequence involves construction of the latter by mechanochemical condensation of benzaldehydes with 2-amino-nitrostyrene, followed either by reduction of the nitro group of the heterocycle and Buchwald-Hartwig cyclization or by a nitrene-mediated cyclization under solventless conditions. Use of PPh to generate the nitrene resulted in the unprecedented formation of a phosphazene in place of quindoline.

Preferential stabilization of G-quadruplex (G4) structures using small-molecule ligands has emerged as an effective approach to develop anticancer drugs. Herein, we report the synthesis of three indole-fused quindoline derivatives with varying lengths of side chains (, , ) as selective ligands for promoter G4 structures. The ligands stabilize the parallel topology of and promoter G4 DNAs over telomeric and duplex DNAs, as evident from the circular dichroism melting and polymerase stop-assay experiments.
