ABSTRACT:

Present work describes the synthesis of (2E)-1-(8-hydroxyquinolin-7-yl)-3-(Aryl) prop-2-en-1-one, derivatives of Chalcones. Starting material 8- hydroxy quinoline was acetylated and subjected to fries rearrangement reaction to yield 7-acetaldehyde-8-hydroxy quinoline which on aldol condensation with various derivatives of benzaldehyde yields 13 compounds. The compounds have been characterized and evaluated for anti-bacterial activity. MIC values of the compounds showing higher zone of inhibition was found to be 100 µg/ml. The activity of the compounds can be attributed to the substitution of electronegative groups in the synthesized compounds.

 

KEY WORDS: anti-bacterial activity, benzaldehyde, Chalcone, electronegative, 8-hydroxyquinoline


 

INTRODUCTION:

Chalcones are α, β -unsaturated ketones which constitute an important group of natural products that serve as precursors for the synthesis of various heterocyclic compounds. Chalcones, analogs of 1,3-diarylprop-2-en-1- one, form a wide class of compounds containing two aromatic rings bound with vinyl ketone fragment. Chalcones, either natural or synthetic, are known to exhibit various biological activities like antimalarial1, antibacterial2, antifibrogenic3, anticancer4, antitrichomonal5, anti-inflammatory6, antileishmanial7, cytotoxic and anti trypanosome cruzi8.

 

The quinoline nucleus is an important structural moiety in a number of complex chemotherapeutic agents. Substituted quinoline and their benzo and hetero fused analogues represent an important class of heterocyclic compounds due to their presences in numerous biologically active natural products. Quinoline analogues have a wide variety of medicinal properties including antitumor, antiviral and antibacterial activities 9-11.

 

Literature survey reveals that 4-chloro-2-phenyl quinolin-3-ol derivatives are pharmacologically active units. Prompted by the therapeutic importance of these two bioactive moieties it was decided to develop novel, simple, economical method for synthesis of variety of chalcone derivatives starting from 8-hydroxy quinoline and various substituted benzaldehydes. The compounds have been subjected for evaluation of anti-bacterial activity.

 

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

All chemicals used were of analytical grade from, SD Fine. Melting point (MP) of all the synthesized compounds were determined by open capillary tube method. These are uncorrected. The purity of all compounds was checked by TLC. TLC was run on Silica Gel G plates using Chloroform and Methanol (9:1). Spots were visualized using iodine vapor chamber. IR spectra were recorded on Shimadzu IR spectrophotometer by using KBr pellets technique.1H-NMR was recorded on Burke AMX 60 MHz spectrophotometer by using DMSO as solvent.

 

 


Synthesis

 

 


Experimental procedure

Step I: Synthesis of 8- acetate quinoline from 8- hydroxy quinoline.

7.250 gm (0.05mol) of 8- hydroxy quinoline was taken in 250 ml RBF and kept in ice bath, to this 4.42 ml (0.05 mol) of acetyl chloride and 25ml of methylene di chloride were added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hr. The completion of reaction was monitored by TLC using n – hexane: acetone (3:2) as a mobile phase. Slight yellowish white colored precipitate was obtained which was filtered, washed with methylene dichloride, dried and recrystalized from hot water.

 

Step II: Synthesis of 7- acetaldehyde-8-hydroxy quinoline from 8- acetate quinoline.

6.54 gm. of 8- acetate quinoline and 16.65 gm. of Aluminum tri chloride (1: 2.5) were refluxed in RBF at 1600C for 1.5 hr. A orange colored mass was obtained. Dilute hydrochloric acid was added to break the Aluminium – Quinoline complex.  Para and Ortho isomers formed were separated by steam distillation.  Separation of isomer was monitored by TLC method using n-heptane:ethylacetate as mobile phase. 

 

Step III: Synthesis of Quinoline derivative of piperine.

1 mole of 7-acetal-8- hydroxyl Quinoline was dissolved in 5ml of 20%NaOH. 1 mole of benzaldehyde derivative was added to this reaction mixture and the reaction mixture was kept at room temperature for 5 min. 20 ml of ethanol was added as solvent. Reaction mixture was kept for stirring for 6 - 8 hr. Product formed was poured in ice cold water  PH was adjusted to 4 with 10% HCl. Product was Filtered and washed, and dried.

 

All the synthesized compounds were characterized by TLC, IR, NMR and elemental analysis (Table 1). 

 

Antibacterial activity:

The in vitro anti-bacterial activity was evaluated by using the agar plate diffusion method12, 13 by measuring the zone of inhibition in mm. All the compounds screened in vitro for their anti-bacterial activity against bacterial strains such as gram positive (Bacillus subtilis NCIM 3251, Staphylococcus aureus NCIM 4200) and gram negative (P. aeurigenosa NCIM 4321, Escherichia coli NCIM 8900, Salmonela typhi NCIM 3782). All the microbial strains were standardized by McFarland Standard method and 108 cfu/ml concentration of microbial culture was used. Ciprofloxacin (10 μg/ml) was used as standard. The compounds were prepared in DMSO (10-100μg/ml). The results of the in vitro anti-bacterial activities are summarized in Table 2.

 

RESULT AND DISCUSSION:

We have synthesized 13 Quinoline derivatives of Chalcone. In the first step 8-hydroxy quinoline was acetylated and in second step fries rearrangement was used to synthesize of 7- acetaldehyde-8-hydroxy quinoline. In the final step various substituted benzaldehyde were subjected for aldol condensation to yield chalcone derivatives.  The FTIR spectra of final derivatives showed the expected bands for the characteristic groups which are present in the compounds expressed in cm-1.1H NMR spectra of final derivatives obtained in CDCl3 showed the expected chemical shift values in ppm using TMS (δ=0) as internal standard.

Amongst all the synthesized compounds, compounds QP1 and QP 11 have shown the poor inhibition against all the selected bacterial strains.  Compounds QP2, QP5, QP8 and QP9 showed moderate inhibition. Compounds QP3, QP4 QP6, QP7, QP 10, QP12, QP13 showed maximum inhibitory activity against all the Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. The variation in activity could be due to electronegative atom present in the substituted compounds. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values for the compounds having maximum zone of inhibition was found to be 100 μg/ml.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION:

Synthesis of quinoline derivatives of chalcone using inexpensive starting material 8-hydroxy quinoline and various derivatives of benzaldehyde have been attempted successfully. The method is novel, low cost, and environmental friendly. The data reveals that, the compounds substituted with Chlorine, bromine, nitro derivatives have proven to be effective antibacterial agents against Gram positive and Gram negative organisms. These compounds can be explored further for their potential activity against resistant bacterial strains.
