Poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase-1 is an important target enzyme in drug design; inhibitors have a wide variety of therapeutic activities. A series of quinoline-8-carboxamides was designed to maintain the required pharmacophore conformation through an intramolecular hydrogen bond. 3-Substituted quinoline-8-carboxamides were synthesized by Pd-catalyzed couplings (Suzuki, Sonogashira, Stille) to 3-iodoquinoline-8-carboxamide, an efficient process that introduces diversity in the final step. 2-Substituted quinoline-8-carboxamides were prepared by selective Pd-catalyzed couplings at the 2-position of 2,8-dibromoquinoline, followed by lithium-bromine exchange of the intermediate 2-(alkyl/aryl)-8-bromoquinolines and reaction with trimethylsilyl isocyanate. The intramolecular hydrogen bond was confirmed by X-ray and by NMR. The SAR of the 3-substituted compounds for inhibition of human recombinant PARP-1 activity showed a requirement for a small narrow group. Substituents in the 2-position increased potency, with the most active 2-methylquinoline-8-carboxamide having IC(50) = 500 nM (IC(50) = 1.8 microM for 5-aminoisoquinolin-1-one (5-AIQ, a standard water-soluble inhibitor)).

A number of effective anti-cancer drugs contain either indole or quinoline group. Compounds fused indole and quinoline moieties altogether as indolylquinoline were rarely reported as anti-cancer agents. We reported here that a synthetic indolylquinoline derivative, 3-((7-ethyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-methyl)-2-methylquinoline (EMMQ), inhibited the growth of human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells in dose- and time-dependent manners. The cytotoxicity was mediated through apoptotic cell death that began with mitochondrial membrane potential interruption and DNA damage. EMMQ caused transient elevation of p53 that assists in cytochrome c release, cleavage of downstream PARP and procaspase-3 and mitochondria-related apoptosis. The degree of apoptotic cell death depends on the status of tumor suppressor p53 of the target cells. H1299 cells with stable ectopic expression of p53 induced cytotoxicity by disrupting mitochondria functions that differed with those transfected with mutant p53. Knocking-down of p53 attenuated drug effects. EMMQ suppressed the growth of A549 tumor cells in xenograft tumors by exhibiting apoptosis characteristics. Given its small molecular weight acting as an effective p53 regulator in NSCLC cells, EMMQ could be an addition to the current list of lung cancer treatment.
