- Description: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by the pathogen, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. According to the World Health Organization, TB is the ninth leading cause of death worldwide ranking above HIV/AIDS. This high mortality rate of TB begs the questions about the efficiency of the current therapy and raises an urgent need to create novel anti-tuberculosis agents which will aid in curbing this burden. Quinoline containing compounds have remarkable biological activities across a wide spectrum of diseases including anti-tuberculosis. On the other hand, thiazolidinedione containing compounds possess a broad spectrum of biological properties. In this study, we rationally designed compounds containing these pharmacophoric units and investigated them for their potential biological activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Considering antimalarial activity of quinoline-based compounds, the compounds achieved were also cross-screened for their activity against the Plasmodium falciparum parasite, a causative agent of malaria. In all the synthesized compounds, compound 2.6a, 2.6b and 2.7b emerged as most active compounds against the H37Rv strain with MIC₉₀ values ranging in between of 1.08 – 17.1 μM. In addition, none of the compounds showed any inhibitory activities against the 3D7 strain of P. falciparum parasite. All the compounds prepared in this study showed no significant human cytotoxic effects as measured by HeLa cell line.

- Description: Herein a series of novel thiosemicarbazones (TSCs) derived from 2-oxoquinoline scaffold is reported, and the target compounds have been successfully synthesized and characterized using standard spectroscopic techniques. The in vitro biological activities of synthesized molecules were evaluated against Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasites (strain 3D7), Trypanosoma brucei brucei parasites (strain 427) and HeLa cells. All the compounds displayed modest or no activity at a concentration of 20 μM and percentage viability of >50 % was often observed. Except for compound 9o, none of the final compounds exhibited cytotoxic effects against HeLa cells at 20 μM.
