• Regiodivergent Synthesis of 11H-Indolo[3,2-c]quinolines and Neocryptolepine from a Common Starting Material 

      Håheim, Katja Stangeland; Lund, Bjarte Aarmo; Sydnes, Magne Olav (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-23)
      A large number of diversely functionalized analogs of the bioactive natural products neocryptolepine and isocryptolepine have been prepared from a series of 3-bromoquinoline derivatives. The neocryptolepines were obtained by a Pd<sup>0</sup>-catalyzed C−C bond coupling followed by C−N bond formation in yields up to 80 %, whereas the indoloquinolines were prepared by a Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling ...
    • Synthesis and Evaluation of the Tetracyclic Ring-System of Isocryptolepine and Regioiso-Mers for Antimalarial, Antiproliferative and Antimicrobial Activities 

      Håheim, Katja Stangeland; Lindback, Emil; Tan, Kah Ni; Albrigtsen, Marte; Helgeland, Ida Therese Urdal; Clemence, Lauga; Matringe, Theodora; Kennedy, Emily K.; Andersen, Jeanette Hammer; Avery, Vicky M.; Sydnes, Magne Olav (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-30)
      A series of novel quinoline-based tetracyclic ring-systems were synthesized and evaluated in vitro for their antiplasmodial, antiproliferative and antimicrobial activities. The novel hydroiodide salts 10 and 21 showed the most promising antiplasmodial inhibition, with compound 10 displaying higher selectivity than the employed standards. The antiproliferative assay revealed novel pyridophenanthridine ...
