چکیده
Background: Halofuginone hydrobromide (1) is recognized as an effective drug against several species of Eimeria (E.) in poultry. In this paper, we describe a convenient and low cost preparation method for the compound, as well as primary validation of its activity. Methods: First, 7-bromo-6-chloroquinazolin-4(3H)-one (2) was prepared from m-chlorotoluene by a conventional process, and then chloroacetone was creatively introduced in two steps. Finally, halofuginone hydrobromide (1) was obtained from 7-bromo-6-chloro-3-(3-cholroacetonyl) quinazolin-4(3H)-one (4) by a four-step reaction sequence including condensation, cyclization, deprotection and isomerization. The structures of the relative intermediates and target compound were characterized by melting point, IR, MS and ¹H-NMR. Besides, the protective effect of compound 1-supplemented chicken diet at doses of 6, 3 and 1.5 mg per 1 kg were evaluated on chickens infected with E. tenella, by reduction in mortality, weight loss, fecal oocyst excretion and gut pathology, respectively. Results: Halofuginone hydrobromide (1) was prepared successfully by and improved and innovative method based on traditional research. Moreover, the synthesized halofuginone hydrobromide significantly exhibited an anti-coccidial property. Conclusions: The fruitful work described in this Communication has resulted in halofuginone hydrobromide, which has a good pharmaceutical development prospects, becoming more available for large-scale production.

One-Pot Synthesis of Some New α-Bromoketals and Acetals via 1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0] Undec-7-ene-Hydrobromide-Perbromide
α-Bromoketals and acetals are important synthetic precursors in organic synthesis. In this work, some new α-bromoketals are synthesized by the reaction of aryl methyl ketones with diols in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0] undec-7-ene (DBU) hydrobromide-perbromide in good isolated yields. The latter compound converts aldehydes to acetals and serves as a new and efficient reagent for t...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Halofuginone, an inhibitor of collagen synthesis, prevented and caused resolution of established hepatic fibrosis. A genomic approach in vivo was used to search for additional genes responsible for halofuginone mode of action. METHODS Fibrosis was induced in rats by thioacetamide (TAA) and evaluated by collagen type I gene expression and the levels of collagen, tissue inhibito...
