In our previous work Knoevenagel condensation of quinoline 2-, 3- and 4-carbaldehyde with malononitrile derivatives was used to produce a series of heteroarylidene malononitrile derivatives. Some of these heteroaromatic tyrphostins were potent inhibitors of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor kinase. This work has now been extended by using 6-, 7-, and 8-quinolinecarbaldehyde to prepare 23 new quinoline-tyrphostins 1-23. Most of these compounds were moderately active against the MCF7 breast cancer cell line. The order of potency was 7- > 6 > 8-substituted quinoline, which indicates that increased activity of the 7-substituted quinolines is associated with electron deficiency at the 7-position in the quinoline ring. The most active compound, 12, formed from 7-quinolinecarbaldehyde and ethyl cyanoacetate, had an IC50 value of 2.3 microM. Compounds 1-23 showed similar IC50 values against the MCF7 and MCF7/ADR cell lines (the latter shows fourfold increased protein tyrosine kinase activity) except for the compounds 1 and 15 formed from 6-quinolinecarbaldehyde and malononitrile and 7-quinolinecarbaldehyde and cyanoacetamide, which showed a significant (11- and 42-fold, respectively) increase in potency against the MCF7/ADR cell line. Furthermore, no association was found between growth inhibition and inhibition of the EGFR protein tyrosine kinase (PTK), using a cell-free assay. In addition, new compounds were prepared from 2- and 4-quinolinecarbaldehyde with extended conjugation in the side chains (24-27) or with methoxypolyethoxyethyl esters in the side chain to increase water solubility (28 and 29). These compounds showed substantial cytotoxicity, with IC50 values in the range 1-25 microM, but similar values were observed against both cell lines. No association was found between inhibition of PTK and growth inhibition, again indicating that their mode of action may not be specific for the EGF receptor.

Four analogues of AG957, a known inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase p210(bcr-abl), have been synthesized and tested for their growth inhibitory effect against the BCR/ABL-positive FDrv210C cells as well as the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor-positive Baf/ERX cells. All compounds that can undergo oxidation to the corresponding quinone demonstrated inhibition of FDrv210C cells and Baf/ERX cells. Compounds that cannot become oxidized showed significantly less inhibition of BCR/ABL- or EGF receptor-mediated cell proliferation. The (11)C-labeled compounds were prepared by labeling 4-aminobenzoic acid using [(11)C]CH(3)I, which afforded the corresponding (11)C-labeled methyl ester in excellent yields. Subsequent condensation of the amino group with an appropriately substituted hydroxy benzaldehyde formed the respective Schiff base. Reduction of this compound with NaBH(3)CN gave the (11)C-labeled inhibitors in an overall radiochemical yield of 17.3+/-2.1% (n=3; not decay corrected) and an average specific radioactivity of 40 GBq/micromol (1.1 Ci/micromol) at the end of synthesis. The total synthesis time from EOB including HPLC purification and formulation was 45 min.
