HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WORK
1) Design, diversity-oriented synthesis and structure activity relationship studies of
quinolinyl heterocycles as antimycobacterial agents
Bedaquiline and isoniazide hybridized C3 substituted quinolinyl heterocycles were
synthesized in multi steps by using diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS). Thus, synthesized
compounds were evaluated for antimycobacterial activity against M.smegmatis strain. Preliminary
screening resulted three active hits namely, quinolinyl 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole,
quinolinyl pyrazole and pyrzoline which are isoniazide hydrazide incorporated heterocycles. Thus,
obtained hit moieties were successfully extended for library generation and evaluated for
antimycobacterial activity against M.smegmatis strain. In all, 40 compounds were tested for
antimycobacterial activity and 20 active molecules and 3 promising compounds were observed.
Among this series quinolinyl pyrazole showed very effective MIC (mg/mL) of M.Smegmaties
strain.
2) Quinolinyl heterocycles as antimycobacterial agents: Towards structure optimization of
the active analogues 2-methyl-3-(1H-pyrazol-5-yl)quinoline and 3-(5-(2-methylquinolin-
3-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)-4H-chromen-4-one
Inspired by the earlier report, structure optimization of 3-(5-(2-methylquinolin-3-yl)-
1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)-4H-chromen-4-one and 2-methyl-3-(1H-pyrazol-5-yl)quinoline was under
taken. In the case of 3-(5-(2-methylquinolin-3-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)-4H-chromen-4-one the
scope for further extension is limited, so a reverse synthetic approach was adopted which provides
the two synthetic routes. Among them hydrazones are well known antitubercular agents and taken
for further extension. Diverse functional groups were assembled around the privileged scaffold
i.e., 2-methyl-3-(1H-pyrazol-5-yl)quinoline including a series of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole
derivatives, which were synthesized under Huisgen 1,3-cyclo addition conditions. The
synthesized compounds were evaluated for antitubercular activity against M. smegmatis strain. In
all 40 compounds were tested, wherein 14 active compounds were obtained. Four of these
compounds that were found to be promising in antitubercular screening also exhibited an added
asset of low cytotoxicity.

3) Synthesis and antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory evaluation of 2-(2-methylquinolin-3-
yl)-5-aryl/alkyl, hydrazones and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles Above synthesized quinolinyl hydrazones, oxadiazoles have been evaluated for
antimicrobial (against five gram+ve, five gram-ve, four fungal strains) and anti-inflammatory
activity. Many compounds displayed good antimicrobial activity with a minimum inhibitory
concentration (MIC) on both five gram negative and gram positive bacteria. Some of the
synthesized compounds are inhibited the growth of bacterial and fungal starains more than the
standard. Especially quinolinyl hydrazones shown appreciable antimicrobial activity. 2,5-
Disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole are shown their promising anti-inflammatory activity at different
intervals.
4) (Bromodimethylsulfonium) bromide catalyzed solvent free Friedlander synthesis of
substituted quinolines
A simple and efficient (Bromodimethylsulfonium) bromide catalyzed synthesis of
quinolines, bycondensation of α-amino carbonyl, that is, 2-aminobenzophenone and 2-
aminoacetophenone with α-methylene containing carbonyl like 1,3-dicarbonyls has been
developed. The reaction is versatile, solvent free protocol for generation of structurally diverse
quinolines.
5) (Bromodimethylsulfonium) bromide Catalyzed One-Pot Three-Component Synthesis of
Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines
(Bromodimethylsulfonium) bromide catalyzed one-pot multicomponent reaction of 2-
aminopyridine with aromatic aldehyde(s) and TMSCN yielding N-benzylidene-2-
phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines exclusively has been described. The reaction is solvent free,
versatile, and takes significantly short time.
