Many quinoline (QL) derivatives are present in the environment and pose potential threats to human health and ecological safety. The acute toxicity of 30 haloquinolines (HQs) was examined using the photobacterium Vibrio fischeri. IC₅₀ values (inhibitory concentration for 50% luminescence elimination) were in the range 5.52 to >200 mg·L⁻¹. The derivative 5-BrQL exhibited the highest toxicity, with 3-ClQL, 3-BrQL, 4-BrQL, 5-BrQL, 6-BrQL, and 6-IQL all having IC₅₀ values below 10 mg·L⁻¹. Comparative molecular field analysis modeling based on the steric and electrostatic field properties of the HQs was used to quantify the impact of halogen substituents on their toxicity. QL derivative rings with larger substituents at the 2/8-positions and less negative charge at the 4/5/6/8-positions were positively correlated with acute toxicity towards V. fischeri.
