Synthesis and evaluation of thiopyrano[3,4-c]quinoline-9-carboxamide derivatives as inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1)

Abstract

A series of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) inhibitors, 5-oxo-2,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1H-thiopyrano[3,4-c]quinoline-9-carboxamide derivatives, were successfully synthesized and their PARP-1 inhibitory activity was evaluated. These compounds were prepared from carboxylic acid 7 and the appropriate amines, and a number of the synthesized compounds were found to have significant PARP-1 activity. Among them, 9m showed potent activity in a PARP-1 enzymatic assay and cell-based assay (IC50 = 0.045 μM, ED50 = 0.54 μM). Molecular modeling studies confirmed the obtained biological results.
