The new substituted quinoline derivatives have been synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic
techniques. A prediction of activity spectra for substances (PASS) of synthesized quinoline compounds showed their
probabilities of being active for the antibacterial activities. Therefore, all the newly synthesized compounds have been
evaluated for their in-vitro antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. It has been observed
that 6-chloro-4-phenylquinoline-2,3-dicarboxylic acid 4a selectively active against Gram (-)ve E. coli and 8-chloro-10-
phenyl-2,3-dihydropyridazino[4,5-b]quinoline-1,4-dione 5a showed selectivity against Gram (+)ve S. aureus. PASS
prediction study indicates that the compound 5a as a potential candidate with a Pa 0.671, maximum from the series.
According to the results obtained from brine shrimp (Artemia salina) lethality bioassay the compounds prove to be non
toxic. The computer aided results are in good agreement with experimental results.

A new approach has been used to investigate new the prediction of toxic properties of chemical
bioactive molecules by means of in-silico techniques structures. It has been help to derive predictions for
which are fast and cost efficient in todays medicinal new structures from a database with experimentally
chemistry research1. The prediction of activity spectra determined toxicity data4.
for substances (PASS) is widely used as in-silico Most of the todays drugs in the market are
technique2. It is based on a strong analysis of structure heterocyclic compounds; among these heterocycles,
activity relationships. It provides more accurate quinoline is important one. The quinoline containing
predictions for compounds belonging to new chemical compounds have wide range of applications such as
classes and to extend the predictable area of new antibacterial5, anticancer6, anti-malarial7 and
biological activities3. This approach can be used at 8
antifungal . Due to such enormous importance, it has
earliest stage of investigation, since only the structural become the synthetic target of many organic and
formula of chemical compound is necessary to obtain medicinal chemistry groups9. Recently, it has been
PASS prediction. The results of prediction are observed that certain bacteria have developed
valuable for planning of the experiment. If the value resistance against well-known antibiotics10. This fact
of Pa is more, there is less probability of false decreases the efficiency of todays antibiotics which
positives in the set of compounds selected for inspired us to search for new antibacterial molecules
biological testing. with high efficiency and less toxicity11,12.
Chemical and pharmaceutical industries and
research institutions need techniques that are capable In continuation of our earlier work on synthesis of
of identifying adverse effect at an early stage of tri-substituted quinoline derivatives13 it encouraged us
product development. This information comes to synthesize different derivatives of quinolines based
rationally from in-vivo testing, but due to the public on the results of PASS and check their in-vitro
pressure to reduce animal experiments and the lack of antibacterial activity. So, here in we wish to report the
important toxicity information for many old synthesis, antibacterial activity and their general
compounds has lead to an increased acceptance of toxicity with brine shrimp (Artemia salina) lethality
alternative, in-silico method. PASS is also used for assay.
