Abstract A series of new acrylic acid ethyl esters of quinolinones were synthesized from 4-(bromomethyl)quinolinones and screened for in vitro antimicrobial and in vivo analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. Most of the compounds with chloro substitution at the C-6 or C-7 position in the quinolinone moiety and a methoxy group in the aryloxy moiety showed potent antibacterial and antifungal activities when compared with non-halogenated quinolinones and the quinolinones bearing a CH3 at the C-8 position. In a pharmacological evaluation, the halogen substitution at the C-6 or C-7 position in quinolinones was found to enhance both analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities of the molecule when compared with a simple unsubstituted (non-halogenated) quinolinone. The structures of all newly synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and FAB-MS. Graphical abstract
