Description: Quinoxaline, also called a benzopyrazine, in organic chemistry, is a heterocyclic compound containing a ring complex made up of a benzene ring and a pyrazine ring. It is a colorless oil that melts just above room temperature. Although quinoxaline itself is mainly of academic interest, quinoxaline derivatives are used as dyes, pharmaceuticals, and antibiotics such as olaquindox, carbadox, echinomycin, levomycin and actinoleutin.

Product Data:
Biological target: Quinoxaline and its analogs have been investigated as catalyst ligands.
In vitro activity: A series of novel histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors derived from 3-(benzazol-2-yl)quinoxaline derivatives were designed and synthesized in this study. In vitro results showed that compound 10c had the most potent cytotoxicity, especially in HCT-116 cells with an IC50 value of 0.91 μM, superior to Vorinostat (5.66 μM). These results highlight the great potential of 10c to become a promising anti-cancer HDAC inhibitor. Reference: Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2023 May 15;88:129305. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37116762/
In vivo activity: 15-Prostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) regulates the concentration of prostaglandin E2 in vivo. Inhibitors of 15-PGDH elevate PGE2 levels and promote tissue repair and regeneration. This study describes a novel class of quinoxaline amides that show potent inhibition of 15-PGDH, good oral bioavailability, and protective activity in mouse models of ulcerative colitis and recovery from bone marrow transplantation.
