3-phenylaminoisoxazol-5(2h)-ones,s ubstituted on nitrogen with an isoquinoline or quinazoline group, react with tertiary amine bases to give imidazo annelated compounds. when the n-substituent is a nitropyridine, 2-aminoindole derivatives are formed instead. evidence is presented that the reactions proceed by initial addition of the tertiary arnine to c-4

Previous evidence showed the ability of the quinazoline-based A1-adrenoreceptor antagonist doxazosin to suppress prostate tumor growth via apoptosis. In this study, we carried out structural optimization of the chemical nucleus of doxazosin and a subsequent structure-function analysis toward the development of a novel class of apoptosis-inducing and angiogenesis-targeting agents. Our lead compo...

Over the years, the development of targeted medicines has made significant achievements. As a typical example, receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) inhibitors have become important chemotherapy drugs for a variety of cancers. However, the effectiveness of these agents is always hindered by poor response rates and acquired drug resistance. In order to overcome these limitations, several dual-targeted...

Article history: Received on: 06/02/2017 Accepted on: 30/03/2017 Available online: 30/06/2017 Objectives: The present research work is designed to synthesize some new series of quinazoline-4-one/4-thione derivatives by modifying the structures retaining the fundamental structural features for the biological activity and screened for their anti-microbial, analgesic and anti-inflammatory properti...

1-phenyl-2H,6H-imidazo[1,5-c]quinazoline-3,5-dione reacts with ethyl bromoacetate under mild conditions to give 2-(ethoxycarbonylmethyl)-1-phenyl-6H-imidazo[1,5-c]quinazoline-3,5-dione (MEPIQ) and next 2,6-bis(ethoxycarbonylmethyl)-1-phenylimidazo[1,5-c]quinazoline-3,5-dione (BEPIQ). The products were isolated at high yield and identified on the basis of IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR, UV spectroscopy, an...

In the title compound, C(34)H(20)Cl(2)N(4)O(4), the two quinazoline heterocyclic systems and the adjacent chloro-benzene rings are not coplanar, but oriented at dihedral angles of 66.66 (13) and 52.48 (12)°, respectively. The quinazoline ring systems are nearly planar, with dihedral angles between the planes of the two rings of 5.43 (16) and 3.40 (14)°, and are oriented at dihedral angles of 79...

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) is an important protein target for anti-tumor drug discovery. To identify potential EGFR inhibitors, we conducted a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study on the inhibitory activity of a series of quinazoline derivatives against EGFR tyrosine kinase. Two 2D-QSAR models were developed based on the best m...

Quinazoline, quinoxaline and phthalazine are nitrogen containing heterocyclic aromatic molecules which belong to the class diazanaphthalenes. These isomers have low-lying nπ* and naphthalene-like ππ* states that interact via spin-orbit coupling. In this contribution, we study their structure and electronic states by means of a coupled-cluster method. The computed properties are compared to thos...

Previous evidence showed the ability of the quinazoline-based alpha(1)-adrenoreceptor antagonist doxazosin to suppress prostate tumor growth via apoptosis. In this study, we carried out structural optimization of the chemical nucleus of doxazosin and a subsequent structure-function analysis toward the development of a novel class of apoptosis-inducing and angiogenesis-targeting agents. Our lead...

BACKGROUND The quinazoline are an important class of medicinal compounds that possess a number of biological activities like anticancer, anticonvulsant and antioxidant etc. RESULTS We evaluated the previously synthesized quinazoline derivatives 1-3 for their anticancer activities against three cancer cell lines (HepG2, MCF-7, and HCT-116). Among the tested compounds, quinazolines 1 and 3 were...
