Novel 4(3H)-quinazolinones containing biologically active thiazole, pyridinone and chromene of expected antitumor and antifungal activities

Novel 4(3H)-quinazolinone derivatives with biologically active moieties were synthesized. Reactions of 2-cyano-N-(6-iodo-2-methyl-4-oxoquinazolin-3(4H)-yl) acetamide with carbon disulfide, isothiocyanates followed by cycloalkylation afforded acrylamide, 1,3-dithiazole, 1,3-dithiane, thiazole and pyrazole derivatives. The 2-pyridone derivatives were obtained via reaction of cyanoacetamide with some acetylacetone or arylidenes. Cyclocondensation reaction of cyanoacetamide with o-hydroxy aldehydes furnished chromene derivatives. Screening for some selected compounds was carried for their potential antitumor and antifungal activities. 2-Cyano-N-(6-iodo-2-methyl-4-oxoquinazolin-3(4H)-yl)-2-(4-methyl-3-phenyl-thiazol-2(3H)ylidene)-acetamide with 3-side chain incorporated with substituted thiazole moiety was found to be of high to moderate activity towards cells. Also, the latter product showed high activity against Aspergillus ochraceus Wilhelm with inhibition zone (18 mm) compared with (20 mm) Nystatin inhibition zone

Highly Efficient One-pot Synthesis, Antimicrobial and Docking Studies of Newer β-amino Carbonyl Derivatives Catalyzed by Silica Sulfuric Acid

Mannich reaction was applied between 4-fluorobezaldehyde, selected acetophenone and several anilines, catalyzed by silica sulfuric acid for the synthesis of β-amino carbonyl derivatives. Reaction time and yield of the products depended on the nature of acetophenone and aniline subsituents. Using aliphatic amines instead of aromatic amines under same reaction conditions, afforded aldol condensation products without yielding the expected β-amino ketones. Replacing the acetophenone derivatives with rhodanine yielded 5-(4-fluorobenzylidene)-thioxothiazolidin-4-one. Using 2-aminothiophenol instead of the aniline derivatives, 2-(4-fluorophenyl)benzothiazole was obtained without isolation of the expected (mercapto-phenylamino)-1-(4-substitutedphenyl)propan-1-ones. A proposed reaction mechanism was suggested. Docking studies were designed to gain clear picture of the high active compound(s). A model of high active molecules was mapped for the antimicrobial screening and compared with least active compound(s). (doi: 10.5562/cca1983
