Ever since the introduction of glutaraldehyde as a fixative in electron microscopy of biological specimens, the identification of impurities and consequently their effects on biologic ultrastructure have been under investigation. Several reports postulate that the impurities of glutaraldehyde, used as a fixative, are glutaric acid, glutaraldehyde polymer, acrolein and glutaraldoxime.Analysis of commercially available biological or technical grade glutaraldehyde revealed two major impurity components, none of which has been reported. The first compound is a colorless, water-soluble liquid with a boiling point of 42°C at 16 mm. Utilizing Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopic analysis, this compound has been identified to be — dihydro-2-ethoxy 2H-pyran. This impurity component of the glutaraldehyde biological or technical grades has an UV absorption peak at 235nm. The second compound is a white amorphous solid which is insoluble in water and has a melting point of 80-82°C. Initial chemical analysis indicates that this compound is an aldol condensation product(s) of glutaraldehyde.

Abstract Chalcones derivatized with 1-(2-quinolonyl)-1,2,3-triazoles were synthesized by reaction of 4-azido-2-quinolones with 1-phenyl-3-(4-propargyloxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one, or by aldol reaction of 4-{[1-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinolin-4-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]methoxy}benzaldehydes with acetophenone. Whereas, chalcones bearing two 1-(2-quinolonyl)-1,2,3-triazoles were synthesized by reaction of 1,3-bis(4-propargyloxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one with 4-azido-2-quinolones, or by aldol condensation between 4-{4-[(4-acetylphenoxy)methyl]-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl}quinolin-2(1H)-ones and 4-{[1-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinolin-4-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]methoxy}benzaldehydes.

Seven novel N-alkyl-plinabulin derivatives with aryl groups moieties (nitroquinoline, 1,4-dihydroquinoline, 4-methoxybenzene, and 4-chlorobenzene) have been synthesized via aldol condensation and alkylation in one-pot, and tested for their cytotoxicity against 4 cancer cell lines (KB, HepG2, Lu, and MCF7). Compounds ( Z)−3-((6,8-dimethyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinolin-2-yl)methylene)−6-(( Z)−4-methoxybenzylidene)−1-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)piperazine-2,5-dione (5a), ( Z)−6-(( Z)−4-methoxybenzylidene)−1-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)−3-((1,6,8-trimethyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinolin-2-yl)methylene)piperazine-2,5-dione (5b), and ( Z)−3-(( Z)−4-chlorobenzylidene)−1,4-dimethyl-6-((8-methyl-4-nitroquinolin-2-yl)methylene)piperazine-2,5-dione (8) showed strong cytotoxicity against 3 of the cancer cells lines (KB, HepG2 and Lu) with IC50 values ranging from 3.04 to 10.62 µM. The quinoline-derived compounds had higher cytotoxic activity than the benzaldehyde derivatives. The successful synthesis of these derivatives offers useful information for the development of more potent vascular disrupting agents based on plinabulin.
