A series of 4(3H)-quinazolinones structurally related to 2-methyl-3-o-tolyl-4(3H)-quinazolinone (methaqualone, 3) were synthesized and evaluated for anticonvulsant activity. Preliminary screening of these compounds revealed that 2-[2-oxo-2-(4-pyridyl)ethyl]-3-aryl-4(3H)-quinazolinones 6l and 8i, 8k, and 8p-r having a single ortho substituent on the 3-aryl group had the most promising anticonvul...

Quinazolinones are interesting materials because of their valuable biological effects. In this study some new 2,3-disubstituted-4(3H)quinqzolinone derivatives were synthesized from anthranilic acid in six steps by introducing a new chiral center to the aliphatic side chain of the quinazolinone. In the last step, a single acylation on the hydrazine moiety afforded final compounds. The structures...

Quinazolinones are interesting molecules with a wide range of biological activities. We prepared a number of quinazolinone derivatives by the condensation of 5-bromo- or 5-nitro-substituted anthranilic acids with chloro-acyl chlorides. Anthranilic acid derivatives were treated with either 3-chloro-propionyl chloride or 4-chloro-butyryl chloride to yield the corresponding N-acyl-anthranilic acid...

Quinazolinones represent a class of sedative and anticancer drugs. Quinazolinones-based compounds have ability to suppress prostate tumor growth via apoptosis. Apoptosis is very common in embryos and adults of normal and injured mammalian testes. Effects a new derivative of quinazolinone (4(3H) quinazolinone-2-ethyl-2-phenyl ethyl (QEPE)), on the testis of Balb/C mice embryos were investigated....
