40. Figure 16: Graphical representation of antimycobacterial active compounds
Design and diversity oriented synthesis of novel quinoline containing heterocycles has been
achieved employing simple reaction protocols and common intermediates. Simultaneous screening for
antimycobacterial activity led to the identification of quinolinyl oxadiazole and pyrazole frameworks as
active molecules. The synthetic protocols have been successfully extended for generation of library of
uinolinyl oxadiazoles, pyrazolines and pyrazoles. In all, 40 compounds were tested for antimycobacterial
activity and lead identification gave of 20 active molecules and 3 (8, 12j and 12m) promising
compounds. Further, lowcytotoxic effects of these compounds against A549 cell line underline their
potential as antitubercular agents.

An extra heterocycle substitution on oxadiazole enhances the antifungal activity. 3-[5-(4-

inhibited fungal growth to significant extent.

The anti-inflammatory activity profile indicates that compounds with heterocyclic substitution at 5th
position of oxadiazole is again the best candidate among the tested molecules. Thiophene substitution
shows better anti-inflammatory activity than standard at 1 h, 2 hrs, 3 hrs time but activity falls at 4
hrs, while in case of pyrazole substitution activity falls from 3 hrs. 2-(2-Methylquinolin-3-yl)-5-(1-
phenylethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (89b) is the only alkyl substitution that exhibits good activity.

and 39b (40.5) compared to their cytotoxicity in IC50 (>100) highlight that these
are promising scaffolds to design and develop
quinolinyl based antimycobacterial agents.
• 14i showed cytotoxicity with IC50 value 32.70±8.29 µM while its MIC was found
to be 14.92±0.012 (µg/ml).
• Thus, this compound may not be a good antitubercular agent.
• Interestingly quinolinyl hydrazones were shown good antimycobacterial activity
than the corresponding pyrazolyl1,2,3-triazoles.
• It was initiated to gone for antibacterial activity of quinolinyl hydrazone

66. • Selective structure optimization of the hits was attempted on 3-(5-(2-methylquinolin-
3-yl)-1,3,4- oxadiazol-2-yl)-4H-chromen-4-one and 2-methyl-3-(1H-pyrazol-5-

• Molecular hybridization of 2-methyl-3-(1H-pyrazol-5-yl)quinoline employing the
copper catalyzed Huisgen’s 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (Click reaction) led to
introduction of 1,2,3-triazole ring.
• 40 compounds synthesized were evaluated for their antimycobacterial activity and
cytotoxicity against A549 cell line.
• All Among the 14 antitubercular active compounds, 3 have shown promising activity
coupled with low cytotoxicity profile.

The above experiments indicate that, both imine and cyanohydrin formation are plausible pathways
for this reaction

77. Plausible mechanism
via imine formation
via cyanohydrin formation

85. Total 129 compounds were synthesized. Design, diversity oriented synthesis of
bedaquiline related N-heterocycles were succesfully achieved and evaluated against
M.smegmatis strain for anti TB activity. Based on hits observed, lead generation, SAR and
structure optimization was carried out. In all 100 novel quinolinyl heterocycles, 80
compounds were tested for antimycobacterial activity 34 active and 6 promising
compounds were observed. Low cytotoxocity of the compounds highlighted their
efficiency. In addition to this, these compounds also having good antimicrobial as well as
anti-inflammatiry activities. Synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives (16
compounds) were completely studied and a variety of cyclic, acyclic quinolinyl derivatives
(21 compounds) were achieved under solvent free conditions without involving tedious
purification techniques
Conclusions
