Introduction Cancer is a genetic disease that is caused by changes to gene that control the way our cell functions. In all types of cancers some of the body’s cells begin to divide without stopping and spread into the surrounding tissues. ere are more than 100 types of cancer [1]. A total of 1,658,370 new cancer cases and 589,430 cancer deaths are projected to occur in the United States in 2015 [2]. Despite the availability of improved drugs and targeted cancer therapies, it is expected that the new cases of cancer will jump to 19.3 million worldwide by 2025 [3]. e types of cancer treatment include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormonal therapy. e cancer patients are treated either with single therapy or with combinations of more than one therapy depending on the type of cancer’s advancement [1]. e therapeutic applications of antiproliferative drugs are restricted due to their toxic potentials, resistance, and genotoxicity [4]. e demand for relatively more effective and safer agents for the treatment of cancer is today’s need. Heterocyclic quinoline nucleus occurs in nature and biologically active substances displaying broad therapeutic applications [5]. Several quinoline analogues were reported as anticancer agents [6–13]. e structure of some of the quinoline anticancer drug is shown in Figure 1 [6]. e biological potential of quinoline inspired us to explore further the quinoline derivatives. e quinoline derivatives showed promising antiproliferative activity against HeLa (human cervix cancer cell line) and MDA-MB-435 (melanoma) cell lines [6, 7, 14].

Further since quinoline derivatives were found to inhibitepidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TK)[33] A molecular docking study implying epidermal growthfactor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TK) was carried out

to observe the binding mode of new quinoline analogues(5andashj) on the active site of EGFR-TKThe molecular dockingprotocol is the same as reported earlier by our research group[34] Three different binding modes (green yellow and grey)were observed by ligands (5andashj) as shown in the Figure 4The binding mode of compounds 5c 5d 5f 5 h 5i and5j (green ligands) with the active site of EGFR-TK showedinteractionwith backboneH-bonding of hydroxyl groupwithMet793 and side chain H-bonding of NH with Asp855 (5f5i and 5j) The binding mode of compounds 5b (yellowligands) with the active site of EGFR-TK showed backboneH-bonding of hydroxy group with Met793 and side chain H-bonding of terminal amine with Thr854 The binding modeof compounds 5a 5e and 5g (grey ligands) with the active siteof EGFR-TK showed backbone H-bonding of NH group withArg841 and side chain H-bonding of hydroxyl and aryl NHgroup with Asp855 and Asn842 respectively while showing120587-120587 stacking with Phe723 (compound 5e) 120587-cationic inter-action of substituted phenyl ring with Arg841 (compound5g) The compound 5j showed hydrophobic interaction withMet793 Leu792 Ala743 Gly796 Met766 Leu788 Leu777and Lys745 backbone H-bonding of hydroxyl group withMet793 and side chain H-bonding of NH with Asp855The binding mode of interaction with EGFR-TK is given inFigure 5

Three compounds (10andashc) were tested for antiprolifer-ative activity on leukemia melanoma lung colon CNSovarian prostate and breast cancer cell lines (nearly 60 celllines) as per the NCI US protocol and carried out at NationCancer Institute USAThe compound 10b showedmaximumactivity with growth percent (GP) of 9433 followed bycompound 10c (GP = 9512) and 10a (GP = 9637) Thecompound 10a showed maximum selectivity towards HOP-92 MCF7 SNB-75 T-47D PC-3 and UO-31 with percentGI of 3414 2122 2052 1539 1497 and 1357 respectivelyThe compound 10b showed maximum selectivity towards

28 In Vitro Antiproliferative Activity Antiproliferative activ-ity of the ten compounds (5andashj) was evaluated in twodifferent human cell lines (HeLa and MDA-MB-435) usingthe sulforhodamine B (SRB) protocol [27 28] while theantiproliferative screening compounds (10andashc) were carriedout on leukemiamelanoma lung colon CNS ovarian renalprostate and breast cancers cell lines nearly 60 in numberaccording to the reported NCI US protocol [29ndash32]

Three-dose response parameters (GI50 TGI and LC50)were calculated for each of the experimental agents Growthinhibition of 50 (GI50) was calculated from 100 times [(119879119894 minus119879119911)(119862 minus 119879119911)] = 50 which was the drug concentration re-sulting in a 50 reduction in the net protein increase (asmeasured by sulforhodamine B SRB staining) in controlcells during the drug incubation The total growth inhibition(TGI) was calculated from 119879119894 = 119879119911 which was the drug con-centration resulting in total growth inhibition and signifiedthe cytostatic effectThe LC50 was calculated from 100times[(119879119894minus119879119911)(119862 minus 119879119911)] = minus50 which was the drug concentrationresulting in a net loss of cells following treatment whichindicated the concentration of drug resulting in a 50reduction in the measured protein at the end of the drugtreatment as compared to that at the beginning

28 In Vitro Antiproliferative Activity Antiproliferative activ-ity of the ten compounds (5andashj) was evaluated in twodifferent human cell lines (HeLa and MDA-MB-435) usingthe sulforhodamine B (SRB) protocol [27 28] while theantiproliferative screening compounds (10andashc) were carriedout on leukemiamelanoma lung colon CNS ovarian renalprostate and breast cancers cell lines nearly 60 in numberaccording to the reported NCI US protocol [29ndash32]

Three-dose response parameters (GI50 TGI and LC50)were calculated for each of the experimental agents Growthinhibition of 50 (GI50) was calculated from 100 times [(119879119894 minus119879119911)(119862 minus 119879119911)] = 50 which was the drug concentration re-sulting in a 50 reduction in the net protein increase (asmeasured by sulforhodamine B SRB staining) in controlcells during the drug incubation The total growth inhibition(TGI) was calculated from 119879119894 = 119879119911 which was the drug con-centration resulting in total growth inhibition and signifiedthe cytostatic effectThe LC50 was calculated from 100times[(119879119894minus119879119911)(119862 minus 119879119911)] = minus50 which was the drug concentrationresulting in a net loss of cells following treatment whichindicated the concentration of drug resulting in a 50reduction in the measured protein at the end of the drugtreatment as compared to that at the beginning

between 06 and 878 percent growth against MDA-MB-435(Figures 2(a) and 2(b)) The compound 5j showed maximumcytotoxicity with minus669 and 06 percent growths againstHeLa and MDA-MB-435 respectively The cytotoxicity ofcompound 5jwas found to be higher than the standard drugadriamycin at 10minus4M concentration against HeLa Furtherthree parameters (GI50 TGI and LC50) were calculated forall the quinoline derivatives The GI50 recorded were rangingbetween 351 and gt100 120583M against HeLa while only thecompound 5j registered GI50 of 604 120583M against MDA-MB-435 and rest of the compounds showed GI50 of gt100 120583MThe LC50 recorded was found to be gt100 120583M for both thecell lines except for the compound 5j which showed LC50of 9133 120583M against HeLa The compounds 5j 5e and 5dshowed TGI of 6319 8817 and 9728120583M respectively againstHeLa while compounds 5e and 5d showed TGI of 6319 and8817 120583M respectively against MDA-MB-435The GI50 TGIand LC50 were recorded for the quinoline derivatives (5andashj)and are shown in Table 1 The value of GI50 was taken intoconsideration to establish the structure activity relationship(SAR) of the synthesized compounds The quinoline having24-dimethyl substitution in phenyl ring was found to bemore favorable than 4-methyl and 2-methyl substitutionwhile 2-chloro substitution was found to be more favorablethan 4-fluoro and 4-bromo substitutions The 4-methoxysubstitution on phenyl ring showed significant antiprolifer-ative activity The order of antiproliferative activity followedwith substitution on phenyl ring as 4-OCH3 gt 2-Cl gt 24-(CH3)2 gt 4-CH3 gt 2-CH3 The images of growth controlof MDA-MB-435 and HeLa cancer cell lines by some of thequinoline analogues (5andashj) and adriamycin are shown inFigures 3(a) and 3(b)

Further since quinoline derivatives were found to inhibitepidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TK)[33] A molecular docking study implying epidermal growthfactor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TK) was carried out

to observe the binding mode of new quinoline analogues(5andashj) on the active site of EGFR-TKThe molecular dockingprotocol is the same as reported earlier by our research group[34] Three different binding modes (green yellow and grey)were observed by ligands (5andashj) as shown in the Figure 4The binding mode of compounds 5c 5d 5f 5 h 5i and5j (green ligands) with the active site of EGFR-TK showedinteractionwith backboneH-bonding of hydroxyl groupwithMet793 and side chain H-bonding of NH with Asp855 (5f5i and 5j) The binding mode of compounds 5b (yellowligands) with the active site of EGFR-TK showed backboneH-bonding of hydroxy group with Met793 and side chain H-bonding of terminal amine with Thr854 The binding modeof compounds 5a 5e and 5g (grey ligands) with the active siteof EGFR-TK showed backbone H-bonding of NH group withArg841 and side chain H-bonding of hydroxyl and aryl NHgroup with Asp855 and Asn842 respectively while showing120587-120587 stacking with Phe723 (compound 5e) 120587-cationic inter-action of substituted phenyl ring with Arg841 (compound5g) The compound 5j showed hydrophobic interaction withMet793 Leu792 Ala743 Gly796 Met766 Leu788 Leu777and Lys745 backbone H-bonding of hydroxyl group withMet793 and side chain H-bonding of NH with Asp855The binding mode of interaction with EGFR-TK is given inFigure 5

Three compounds (10andashc) were tested for antiprolifer-ative activity on leukemia melanoma lung colon CNSovarian prostate and breast cancer cell lines (nearly 60 celllines) as per the NCI US protocol and carried out at NationCancer Institute USAThe compound 10b showedmaximumactivity with growth percent (GP) of 9433 followed bycompound 10c (GP = 9512) and 10a (GP = 9637) Thecompound 10a showed maximum selectivity towards HOP-92 MCF7 SNB-75 T-47D PC-3 and UO-31 with percentGI of 3414 2122 2052 1539 1497 and 1357 respectivelyThe compound 10b showed maximum selectivity towards

target of the oxadiazoles (10andashc) reported here in the presentinvestigation

4 Conclusion

All the quinoline (5andashj) and oxadiazole (10andashc) derivativeswere synthesized in satisfactory yields The compound 5jshowed antiproliferative activity among quinoline derivativeswithGI50 of 351 120583MagainstHeLa (cervix cancer cell line) and604 120583M against MDA-MB-435 (melanoma) respectivelyThe structure activity relationship established showed that4-methoxy substitution was found to be more favorablethan 2-chloro and 24-dimethyl substitution in the phenylring Similarly the compound 10b expressed maximum an-tiproliferative activity on human cancer cell lines at 10 120583Mconcentration EGFR-TK could be the potential target of thequinoline and oxadiazole derivatives reported here
