Aromatic hydrazones of 7-hydrazino-8-hydroxyquinoline were studied as anti-HIV and antibacterial compounds. A set of the compounds with different aromatic moieties bearing electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents has been selected and obtained via the hydrazo coupling and "one-pot" click reaction with aldehydes. The compounds possess activity against both bacterial and fungal targets. Cellular Ku70-inhibiting activity has been found for the series, opening a new class of inhibitors for potential anti-HIV treatment. The compounds display anti-HIV activity in infected cells at submicromolar concentrations. Their low solubility can be overcome by incorporation in water-soluble neutral polyalginate microgels (33% wt load of the compound).
