6,7-Dimethoxy-2-methyl-3-(4-nitrophenoxy)quinoline was synthesized by Friedl$\ddot{a}$nder's cyclization reaction. Different bases and solvents were tested in order to optimize the reaction conditions. The highest yields were obtained using piperidine in refluxing ethanol. Further reactions were carried out in order to prepare different diarylamide and diarylurea derivatives in moderate to high yields in order to examine their anticancer activities.

In the present study, some quinoline derivatives have been synthesized like 8-methoxy-4-methyl-2-amino-(3'-chloro-2'-oxo-4'-substituted aryl-1'-azetidinyl)quinolines 8-12 and 8-methoxy-4-methyl-2-amino-(2'-substituted aryl-4'-oxo-1',3'-thiazolidin-3'-yl) quinolines 13-17 from 8-methoxy-4-methyl-2-(substituted arylidenyliminoamino)-quinolines 3-7. The structural assignments of these compounds were based on spectral (IR, $^1H$-NMR, Mass) and elemental (C, H, N) analysis. Further, these compounds were evaluated for antibacterial activity against various bacterial strains. Three compounds 10, 11 and 16 were found to exhibit potent antibacterial activity as compared to the standard drug amphicillin.

5-(3,4,5-Triethoxyphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol 6 on treatment with substituted 3-(bromomethyl)-2-chloroquinoline or 2-(p-tolyloxy)-3-(bromomethyl)quinoline 4a-j afforded the corresponding 3-((5-(3,4,5-triethoxyphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-ylthio)methyl)-2-chloroquinoline or 3-((5-(3,4,5-triethoxyphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-ylthio)methyl)-2-(p-tolyloxy)quinoline 7a-j, in the presence of $K_2CO_3$ and DMF under stirring at ambient temperature. All the synthesized compounds were further screened for their antibacterial activities. Some of our compounds showed excellent antibacterial activities against test organisms and reference standard.

The microscopic origin of nonlinear optical properties of quinoline derivatives have been investigated theoretically using MOPAC-AM1 method. In order to prepare promising nonlinear optical active polymers of polyquinoline derivatives, the optimized positions of strong electron donor and electron acceptor are determined in the heterocyclic ring for the energetically favorable structures. For each compound, the effect of the substituted positions on the microscopic nonlinear coefficients were investigated. Polyquinoline was already evaluated to have outstanding physical and mechanical properties so that its monomeric analogues were designed and synthesized for developing new second and third order nonlinear optical main chain polymers. Using the MOPAC-AM1 method, properties calculated include the intrinsic ground-state dipole moments, the polarizabilities, first and second hyperpolarizabilities under the condition of finite-field $(\omega$ = 0).

The N-[1H-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-chloroquinoline-3-carboxy] succinimide was reacted with amoxicillin, ampicillin and 6-APA to give 6-[D-(-)-$\alpha$-{1H-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-chloroguinoline-3-carboxamido} p-hydroxyphanyl acetamido] penicillanic acid [1], 6-[D-(-)-$\alpha$-{1H-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-chloroquinoline-3-carboxamido} phenylacetamido] penicillanic acid [10] and 6-[1H-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-chloroquinoline-3-carboxamido] penicillanic acid [19]. The 1-alkyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-substituted quinoline-3-carboxylic acids were reacted with ethyl chloroformate for making mixed anhydride; these mixed anhydrides were reacted with amoxicillin, ampilcillin and 6-APA to give 6-[D-(-)-$\alpha$-{1-alkyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-substituted quinoline-3-carboxamido} p-hydroxyphenylacetamido] penicillanic acid [2-9], 6-[D-(1)-$\alpha$-{1-alkyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-substituted quinoline-3-carboxamido} phenylacetamidod penicillanic acid [11-18] and 6-[1-alkyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-substituted quinoline-3-carboxamido] penicillanic acid [20-27].

The bacterium NFQ-1 capable of utilizing quinoline (2,3-benzopyridine) as the sole source of carbon, nitrogen and energy was enriched and isolated from soil samples of dead coal pit areas. Strain NFQ-1 was identified as Pseudomonas nitroreducens NFQ-1 by BIOLOG system, and assigned to Pseudomonas sp. NFO-1. Pseudomonas sp. NFQ-1 was used with the concentration range of 1 to 10 mM quinoline. Strain NFQ-1 could degrade 2.5 mM quinoline within 9 hours of incubation. Initial pH 8.0 in the culture was reduced to 6.8, and eventually 7.0 as the incubation was proceeding. 2-Hydroxyquinoline, the first intermediate of the degradative pathway, accumulated transiently in the growth medium. The highest concentration of quinoline (15 mM) in this work inhibited cell growth and quinoline degradation. Pseudomonas sp. NFQ-1 was able to utilize various quinoline derivatives and aromatic compounds including 2-hydroxyquinoline, p-comaric acid, benzoic acid, p-cresol, p-hydroxybenzoate, protocatechuic acid, and catechol. The specific activity of catechol oxygenases was determined to approximately 184.7 unit/㎎ for catechol 1.2-dioxygenase and 33.19 unit/㎎ for catechol 2,3-dioxygenase, respectively. As the result, it showed that strain NFQ-1 degraded quinoline via mainly orthp-cleavage pathway, and in partial meta-cleavage pathway.

An efficient synthetic method for the preparation of quinolines through indium(III) chloride-catalyzed tandem addition-cyclization-oxidation reactions of imines with alkynes was developed. The processes can provide a diverse range of quinoline derivatives in good yields from simple imines and alkynes.

The growth responses of Ruta chalepensis leaf-derived materials toward human intestinal bacteria were examined. The biologically active constituent of the R. chalepensis extract was characterized as quinoline-4-carboxaldehyde($C_{10}H_{7}NO$). The growth responses varied depending on the bacterial strain, chemicals, and dose tested. At 0.25 and 0.1 mg/disk, quinoline-4-carboxaldehyde strongly inhibited the growth of Clostridium perfringens and weakly inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli without any adverse effects on the growth of three lactic acid bacteria. Furthermore, at 0.05 and 0.025 mg/disk, this isolate showed moderate activity against C. perfringens. In comparison, chloramphenicol at as low as 0.01 mg/disk significantly inhibited the growth of all bacteria tested, and cinnamaldehyde at 0.25 mg/disk did not inhibit Bifidobacterium bifidum, B. longum, E. coli, and Lactobacillus acidophilus, with the exception of C. perfringens. The structure-activity relationship revealed that quinoline-3-carboxaldehyde had strong growth inhibition against C. perfringens, but quinoline, quinoline-3-carboxylic acid, and quinoline-4-carboxylic acid did not inhibit the growth of B. bifidum, B. longum, C. perfringens, E. coli, and L. acidophilus. These results indicate that the carboxyl aldehyde functional group of quinolines seems to be required for growth-inhibiting activity against C. perfringens, thus indicating at least one of the pharmacological actions of R. chalepensis leaf.

A number of 1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(4-substitutedcarbamyl-1-piperazinyl) quinoline [or 1,8-naphthyridine]-3-carboxylic acid and their pivaloyloxymethyl esters were prepared. The compounds synthesized were evaluated for antibacterial activity in vitro against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Proteus vulgaris, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Among those 1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(4-methylcarbamyl-1-piperazinyl) quinoline-3-carboxylic acid [1] and 1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(4-methylcarbamyl-1-piperazinyl)1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid [6] showed the most potent in vitro antibacterial activity.
