Numbering
[1038] The specific and unequivocal numbering of the intermediates comprising a subscript, defining the substituents of the quinoline scaffold, and a prefix, defining the substituents of the phenyl group, is explained in Table 1 and Table 2. In particular, in Table 2, Examples of intermediates at different stages are given for a specific aryl substituent. The numbering of intermediates F and G is self-explanatory and highlighted in Table 4 of the synthetic methods: an indication of the stereochemistry ((R), (S) or (rac)) and a suffix defining the type of ester (_Et or _tBu) are given. (gem) describes the gem-dimethyl-compound and (rac)-Et refers to the ethyl substituted linker.

Synthetic Methods
[1039] The general synthesis of a compound of this invention is described below in Schemes 1-4. The starting materials are either commercially available or are prepared in similar manners as described in literature procedures or in the specific examples. The desired quinolines D, were either commercially available (such as 4-chloro-2-methylquinolin-7-ol, CAS 148018-30-8) or were synthesized from the possibly substituted 4-chloro-7-methoxyquinolines through a Suzuki Coupling to obtain compounds C, followed by demethylation with BBr.sub.3. Alternatively, the intermediate quinolines C where substituent V is OH or Cl were prepared from the corresponding β-ketoesters and 3-methoxy-aniline followed by cyclisation and potential further halogenation as described by Chen et al. (2015) and Upton et al. (1986) and highlighted in Scheme 1 (see
[1040] When the β-ketoesters could not be purchased, they were synthesized from the required acetophenones and ethyl potassium malonate under basic conditions in a similar manner as indicated in Scheme 1. Alternative syntheses, for example starting from benzoylchlorides and diethylcarbonate, are dearly also possible.
[1041] In the case of 1,8-naphthyridines, where M is N, the specific synthesis, analogue to what suggested by Nicoleti et al. (2012) was employed, which is also outlined in Scheme 1 and is described for intermediates C.sub.4x and C.sub.4.
##STR00080##
[1042] It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the sequence of the synthetic steps is dependent on starting materials availability and functional group compatibility and could vary from compound to compound.
[1043] The quinoline can be further alkylated with a commercial alkylbromide (Z—Br) or subjected to a Mitsunobu (Z—OH) reaction with a commercial alcohol to produce compounds of formula E as outlined in Scheme 2 (see
##STR00081##
[1044] In particular, and for the purpose of rapid diversification, the Mitsunobu/alkylation reaction step (D to E and D.sub.1 to E.sub.1) and the Suzuki Coupling step (C.sub.x to C and E.sub.x to E), described in Schemes 1 and 2, could be reversed. This was applied, for example, to the synthesis of different mono- and bis-ortho-substituted phenyl intermediates ((R)-2F.sub.1_Et, (R)-3F.sub.1_tBu, (R)-4F.sub.1_tBu, (R)-6F.sub.1_tBu, (R)-3F.sub.5_tBu, (R)-4F.sub.5_tBu, (R)-6F.sub.5_tBu), (R)-4F.sub.4_Et, (R)-8F.sub.4_Et, and (R)-9F.sub.4_Et. Building block D.sub.5x (Table 3) is commercially available, and was used in the Mitsunobu reaction directly to obtain intermediate (R)—F.sub.5x_Bu. Conditions for the Suzuki Coupling of intermediates E.sub.x are described in method M3a and M3b.
[1045] Scheme 2 also illustrates how intermediate E.sub.1 (V═H) could be transformed into intermediate E.sub.6 (V═F) through reaction with AgF.sub.2 as described by Fier and Hartwig (2013) or other fluorination agents known in the art. The specific procedures are listed below.
[1046] For the Examples of this invention, Z was generally a potentially substituted alkyl acetate group (compound F); which was usually further modified by hydrolysis to the corresponding carboxylic acid G, followed by coupling with a commercially available, optionally substituted amine, according to standard procedures known in the art, and as described in Scheme 3 (see
##STR00082##
[1047] When R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 form an optionally substituted cyclic amide, this amide can carry an ester moiety or a carbamate moiety, as highlighted in formulas K.sub.x, K or N of Scheme 4, which can be further hydrolyzed or deprotected to obtain compounds of substructure L or P. As it will be obvious to a person skilled in the art, compounds K could be obtained by linear synthesis through a coupling reaction as for compounds of formula J as described in Scheme 3, or in a parallel manner using compounds K. Examples are outlined in Scheme 4 (see
[1048] In case of non-commercially available amide building blocks, the synthesis of compounds M required further derivatization of compound L, in a way that is described in method M11a. Amines P could also be further modified using methods known in the art, to obtain amides of formula Q. An example of such modification is described in method M11d for compound 28. Further hydrolysis of Q, when Q carries a Boc-protected amine, is also possible, as in the case of compound 85. When P was a primary amine, this could also be further modified using methods known in the art, to obtain, over three subsequent reactions and without isolation of the intermediates, N-hydroxyacetamides of formula R; or it could be reacted with an isocyanate to obtain ureas of formula S. Examples of such modifications are described herein exemplarily for compounds 209 and 214. Additionally, the tetrazole derivative 11 de scribed in Table 6 was synthesized from the corresponding nitrile, compound 30, according to method 12.
[1049] The compounds of formulae E, F, G, J, K, L, M, P, Q, R, and S are compounds of the general formula I of the invention.

Piperazines carbamates N could also be further modified according to M10a to obtain amines P followed by M11a, M11b, M11c or M11d to yield amides of formula Q. Primary amines such as compounds of formula P_piperidine-NH.sub.2 could be further modified to obtain N-hydroxyacetamides of formula R, using the multi-step method described for compound 209. Primary amines such as compounds of formula P_pyrrolidine could be further modified to obtain ureas of formula S, by reacting with tert-butyl-isocyanate as described for compound 214. It should be apparent to a person skilled in the art that reaction conditions such as temperature, dilution, reaction time or work-up procedures, including pH adjustment, are dependent on reaction partners and functional group compatibility and could vary from compound to compound.
[1217] Generally, enantiomeric excess (ee) of the compounds (esters F and K, carboxylic acids G) was not measured, and was assumed equal to the value determined by chiral HPLC for the final compounds (usually carboxylic acids L). Chiral separation of the diastereomeric mixture was occasionally required to improve ee, particularly when any of the hydroxy-quinolines of formula D were alkylated via M7. Use of HATU as a coupling reagent (M11a) usually resulted in lower ee as compared to the coupling mixture EDC.HCl/HOBt.xH.sub.2O (M11b).

4. Homogeneous TR-FRET Assay for HTS and Activity Determination
[1218] The TR-FRET assay was basically conducted as described in WO2016/193231A1, especially as described in example 1 (hereby incorporated by reference). With respect to the back ground of the mitochondrial transcription it is referred to Falkenberg et al. (2002) and Posse et al. (Posse et al., 2015). The method monitors the activity of mitochondrial RNA-polymerase via detection of the formation of its product, a 407 bp long RNA sequence. Detection of the product is facilitated by hybridization of two DNA-oligonucleotide probes to specific and adjacent sequences within the RNA product sequence. Upon annealing of the probes, two fluorophores that are coupled directly to an acceptor nucleotide probe (ATT0647, 5′) or introduced via a coupled streptavidin interacting with a biotinylated donor nucleotide probe on the other side (Europium cryptate, 3′) are brought into sufficient proximity to serve as a fluorescence-donor-acceptor pair as generally described in Walters and Namchuk (2003). Thus, a FRET signal at 665 nm is generated upon excitation at 340 nm.
[1219] Briefly, the protocol described here was applied for screening and activity determination in a low-volume 384-well microtiter plate with non-binding surface. For high-throughput application in the 1536-well microtiter plate format, volumes of the reagent mixes were adjusted, maintaining the volumetric ratio. Proteins POLRMT (NM_172551.3), TFAM (NM_009360.4) and TFB2M (NM_008249.4) were diluted from their stocks to working concentrations of 150 nM, 1.8 μM and 330 nM respectively, in a dilution buffer containing 100 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 200 mM NaCl, 10% (v/v) glycerole, 2 mM glutathione (GSH), 0.5 mM EDTA and 0.1 mg/mL BSA. Protein dilutions and template DNA, comprising a pUC18 plasmid encoding the mitochondrial light strand promoter, restriction linearized proximal to the promoter 3′-end (pUC-LSP), were mixed at the twofold final assay-concentration in a reaction buffer, containing 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl.sub.2, 40 mM NaCl, 2 mM GSH, 0.01% (w/v) Tween-20 and 0.1 mg/mL BSA.
[1220] 5 μL of this mix were dispensed, depending on the chosen microtiter plate format, using multi-channel pipettes or a Multidrop® dispenser (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham Mass.) into the wells of a microtiter plate and incubated at room temperature (rt) for 10 min. Chemical compounds under scrutiny in the assay were applied using contact-free acoustic droplet-dispensing (Echo520® Labcyte Inc., Sunnyvale Calif.) from 10 mM compound stocks in 100% DMSO, to a final concentration of 10 μM or in serial dilution series of the required concentration range. Equal amounts of DMSO without any compound were added to positive control samples, followed by an incubation step at rt for 10 min.
[1221] The enzymatic reaction was started by the addition of 5 μL of a mix of dNTPs in reaction buffer to a final concentration of 500 μM each. No nucleotide mix was added to negative control samples. The content of the wells was mixed using a VarioTeleshaker™ (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham Mass.) at 1500 rpm for 45 sec after which the microtiter plate was centrifuged at 500×g for 1 min. The samples were incubated for 2 h at rt with humidity control to avoid evaporation. The detection reagents were prepared in a buffer that was composed, such that the enzymatic reaction was terminated due to chelating of Mg-ions and increased ionic strength, containing 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 700 mM NaCl, 20 mM EDTA, and 0.01% (w/v) Tween-20. Importantly Eu-cryptate-coupled streptavidin had to be preincubated with a 100-fold molar excess of a random sequence oligonucleotide for 10 min at rt in the dark to block unspecific binding of single stranded RNA to the protein. Subsequently, the blocked streptavidin(-Eu) was mixed with the DNA-probes on ice and kept away from light until use.
[1222] At the end of the enzymatic reaction time 10 μL detection reagent mix was added, such that the final concentration of fluorescent-donor probe (bio-5′-AACACATCTCT(-bio)GCCAAACCCCA-bio-3′), fluorescent-acceptor probe (ATTO647N-5′-ACAAAGAACCCTAACACCAG-3′) and streptavidin(-Eu) in each assay well was 1 nM, 3 nM, and 1 nM respectively. Assay plates were again mixed and centrifuged as above and stored at rt, protected from light for at least 2 h or until binding of the DNA probes to RNA product and binding of streptavidin(-Eu) to the biotinylated DNA probe led to the development of the maximal FRET signal. The generated signal was measured with an EnVision plate reader, including TRF light unit (Perkin Elmer, Waltham Mass.), using excitation at 320 nm, an integration time of 200 μs and a delay time of 100 μs, prior to detection at 620 nm and 665 nm. The ratio of donor- and acceptor-fluorescence was used to assess the specific FRET signal, as a measure of the generated product content (i.e. enzymatic activity).
5. Quantitative Real Time-PCR to Assess Cellular Activity
[1223] Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), based on the TaqMan™ (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham Mass.) technology, was carried out essentially as described in Held et al. (1996). HeLa cells were plated one day before compound treatment in RPMI medium supplemented with 10% Fetal Calf Serum and 2 mM L-glutamine. Cells were incubated with dilution series of compounds or vehicle (DMSO) for 4 h, prior to harvest and extraction of the RNA using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Hilden D), according to the manufacturer's instructions. RNA concentrations were measured spectroscopically, using a NanoDrop-2000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham Mass.) and normalized prior to cDNA synthesis, using a ‘High-Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit’ (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham Mass.). qRT-PCR was carried out using the ‘TaqMan Fast Advance Master Mix’ (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham Mass.) on a 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR machine (Applied Biosystems, Foster City Calif.)
[1224] For these measurements, three genes were used to compare the effect of the scrutinized compounds in relation to their concentration. The POLRMT-gene was used to detect potential influences on nuclear transcription. Mitochondrial transcription in vivo was monitored by measurements 7S RNA. The TBP (TATA-box binding protein) gene was employed as the control (housekeeping gene) during qRT-PCR. The short-lived mitochondrial 7S RNA, which is not post-transcriptionally stabilized, allowed us to monitor rapid changes in mitochondrial transcription activity following compound addition. Biological triplicates were analyzed using the comparative CT Method (ΔΔCt) method (Bubner and Baldwin, 2004) and reported as Rq % values (Rq=Relative quantification=2−ΔΔCt).

7. Inhibition of Various Cancer Cell Lines In Vitro
[1227] The CellTiter-Glo Luminescent Cell Viability Assay (Promega) is a homogeneous method of determining the number of viable cells in culture. It is based on quantification of ATP, indicating the presence of metabolically active cells. The assay can be used to determine the inhibitory activity of the compounds of the invention on the growth of cancer cells in vitro.
[1228] Cells are seeded on day 1 at cell numbers that assure assay linearity and optimal signal intensity. After incubation for 3 h in humidified chambers at 37° C./5% CO.sub.2 compounds/DMSO are added at different concentrations. Cells are further incubated for 72 h at 37° C. and 5% CO.sub.2. Cells treated with the compound vehicle DMSO are used as positive controls and cells treated with 10 μM Staurosporine served as negative controls. At day 4 the CellTiter Glo Reagent is prepared according to the instructions of the kit (Promega Inc.): Reagent is mixed 1:1 with cell culture medium. Thereon, mixture and assay plates are equilibrated at room temperature for 20 min. Equal volumes of the reagent-medium-mixture are added to the volume of culture medium present in each well.
[1229] The plates are mixed at ˜200 rpm for 2 minutes on an orbital shaker. The microplates are then incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes for stabilization of the luminescent signal. Following incubation the luminescence is recorded on a Victor microplate reader (Perkin Elmer) using 200 ms integration time. The data are then analyzed with Excel using the XLFIT Plugin (dose response Fit 205) for IC.sub.50-determination. As quality control, the Z′-factor is calculated from 16 positive and negative control values. Only assay results showing a Z′-factor ≥0.5 are used for further analysis.
[1230] A suitable cell line panel for the CellTiter GLO viability assay is CA-46 (lymphoma), HEC-59 (endometrial), HRT-18 (colon), NCI-H1299 (lung), NCI-H23 (lung), NCI-H596 (lung), SW403 (colon), SW48 (colon), SW948 (colon)
