- 6,7-dimethoxyquinazolines as potential cytotoxic agents: Synthesis and in vitro activity
-
It has been reported that 6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline derivatives have cytotoxic potential independent of their a1-adrenoceptor blocking potential. Bioisosteres of 2-arylquinazolines are considered to have anti-tumor properties. In the present study, we have synthesized the 2-aryl and 2-arylmethyl derivatives of quinazolin-4(3H)-one while retaining the 6,7-dimethoxy substituents. Derivatives with n-butyl group attached to position-3 of quinazolinone nucleus were synthesized with the aim of increasing their lipophilicity. The potential of these synthesized compounds was evaluated against NCI (National Cancer Institute) 60 cell panel using the NCI disease oriented antitumor screen protocol. Based on the results of this screening we generalized that compounds having aryl groups directly attached to the quinazoline ring are less active than those which have one atom linker in between the two ring systems. Substitution of a lipophilic group like nbutyl decreases cytotoxic activity among the compounds and 4-aminoquinazolines showed better activity than 4-quinazolinones. Lipophilic groups in the aromatic ring yielded more active compounds as cytotoxic agents. Among the selected compounds, 4h and 13b were found to be potential lead compounds which could be further optimized as potential anti-neoplastic agents.

- Iron(III) Chloride-Catalyzed Decarboxylative-Deaminative Functionalization of Phenylglycine: A Tandem Synthesis of Quinazolinones and Benzimidazoles
-
The first iron(III) chloride-catalyzed decarboxylative-deaminative functionalization of phenylglycine with o-substituted nitroarenes was achieved for the synthesis of 4(3H)-quinazolinones and benzimidazoles. The reaction of 2-nitrobenzonitrile/2-nitro-N,N-diphenylamine with phenylglycine at 120 C in the presence of potassium carbonate as a base in toluene generated the products in 45-87% yields. Various functional groups like nitro, fluoride, chloride and trifluoromethyl were well tolerated under the present reaction conditions. In this tandem approach, involvement of transfer hydrogenation of the nitro functionality with in situ generated ammonia, imination, nitrile hydration to amide and oxidative cyclization sequences have been established. The process avoids the use of an external hydrogen source, costly catalysts as well as the isolation of amine and amide intermediates.
