Pyrrolo[3,2- c]quinoline derivatives: a new class of kynurenine-3-hydroxylase inhibitors

A series of pyrrolo[3,2- c]quinoline derivatives were synthesised and evaluated as inhibitors of selected enzymes of the kynurenine pathway. 7-Chloro-3-methyl-1 H-pyrrolo[3,2- c]quinoline-4-carboxylic acid ( 7a) was found to be a relatively potent and selective inhibitor of kynurenine-3-hydroxylase...

Zusammenfassung:A series of pyrrolo[3,2- c]quinoline derivatives were synthesised and evaluated as inhibitors of selected enzymes of the kynurenine pathway. 7-Chloro-3-methyl-1 H-pyrrolo[3,2- c]quinoline-4-carboxylic acid ( 7a) was found to be a relatively potent and selective inhibitor of kynurenine-3-hydroxylase (KYN-3-OHase). A molecular modelling study showed a good superimposition of 7a with PNU-156561 and kynurenine the natural substrate of KYN-3-OHase.
