Two series of new fused pyrrolo [3',4':3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoline and pyrrolo [3',4':3,4]pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for the antimicrobial activity. The synthetic approach involves cycloimmonium ylides as 1,3-dipol intermediates. The structures of all synthesized compounds were proved by analytical and spectroscopic data. Crystal structure of compound 11a has been also determined by single crystal XRD. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their expected antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923, Escherichia coli ATCC25922 and Candida albicans ATCC10231, but no one showed activity against all the reference strains.
This work emphasizes the synthesis strategies and antiproliferative related properties of fused pyrrolo-pyridine (including indolizine and azaindoles) and pyrrolo-(iso)quinoline derivatives recently reported in literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
