- Discovery of Novel Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) Agonists as Regulators of Chondrogenic Differentiation: Identification of Quinazolin-4(3 H)-ones and in Vivo Studies on a Surgically Induced Rat Model of Osteoarthritis
-
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease characterized by joint destruction and loss of cartilage. There are many unmet needs in the treatment of OA and there are few promising candidates for disease-modifying OA drugs, particularly, anabolic agents. Here, we describe the identification of novel quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives, which stimulate chondrocyte cartilage matrix production via TRPV4 and mitigate damaged articular cartilage. We successfully identified the water-soluble, highly potent quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivative 36 and studied its intra-articular physicochemical profile to use in in vivo surgical OA model studies. Compound 36·HCl provided relief from OA damage in a rat medial meniscal tear (MT) model. Specifically, 36·HCl dose-dependently suppressed cartilage degradation and enhanced the messenger RNA expression of aggrecan and SOX9 in cartilage isolated from MT-operated rat knees compared with knees treated with vehicle. These results suggest that 36 induces anabolic changes in articular cartilage and consequently reduces OA progression.

- Design, synthesis, molecular modeling and anti-hyperglycemic evaluation of quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives as potential PPARγ and SUR agonists
-
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and sulfonylurea receptor (SUR) play crucial roles in management of type-2 diabetes mellitus. In this study, a series of novel quinazoline-4(3H)-one-sulfonylurea hybrids were designed and synthesized as dual PPARγ and SUR agonists. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vivo anti-hyperglycemic activities against STZ-induced hyperglycemic rats. Four compounds (19a, 19d, 19f and 25g) demonstrated potent activities with reduction in blood glucose levels of 40.43, 46.42, 41.23 and 42.50 %, respectively. The most active ten compounds were further evaluated in vitro for their PPARγ binding affinities and insulin-secreting abilities. Compounds 19b, 19d, 19f, 25f and 25g exhibited the highest affinities against PPARγ with IC50 values of 0.371, 0.350, 0.369, 0.408 and 0.353 μM, respectively. In addition, compounds 19d, 19f, and 25d showed the highest insulin-secreting activities with EC50 values of 0.97, 1.01 and 1.15 μM, respectively. Furthermore, molecular docking and pharmacophore generation techniques were carried out to investigate binding patterns and fit values of the designed compounds with PPARγ and SUR, respectively. Also, two QSAR models were generated to explore the structural requirements controlling the different biological activities of the synthesized compounds against PPARγ and SUR.

- Design, synthesis, biological evaluation, and molecular docking study of thioxo-2,3-dihydroquinazolinone derivative as tyrosinase inhibitors
-
Tyrosinase is known to be a key enzyme in melanogenesis and hyperpigmentation. In this study, a series of thioxo-dihydroquinazolinone compounds were designed and synthesized as tyrosinase inhibitors. Among the investigated compounds, 4m demonstrated the best inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 15.48 μM compared to kojic acid as a positive control with IC50 value of 9.30 μM. In kinetic evaluation against tyrosinase, 4m depicted a mixed inhibition pattern. Additionally, antioxidant evaluations exhibited moderate to weak potency in 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. The detailed interactions and binding mode toward tyrosinase of the most potent derivative were explicated by molecular docking study. Moreover, the computer-aided drug-likeness and pharmacokinetic studies were also carried out.

- Synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular docking studies of novel quinazolinones as antitubercular and antimicrobial agents
-
In the present study, a series of novel quinazolinone hybrids, viz. triazepino-quinazolinones 4, thiazolo-triazolo-quinazolinones 7 and triazolo-quinazolinones 8 have been synthesized from the key intermediate 3-(substituted phenyl)-2-hydrazinoquinazolin-4(3H)-ones 3. All the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by means of spectral (IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR) and elemental analysis. The target compounds were biologically screened for their in vitro antimicrobial and antitubercular activities against pathogenic strain. The results of bioassay demonstrated that some of the compounds exhibited pronounced antimicrobial activity comparable to that of standard drugs tested under similar conditions. Compounds 4c, 4e, 7e and 8b showed relatively very good inhibitory activity against pathogenic bacteria with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 2.6 μg/mL, 5.2 μg/mL, while the rest of the compounds showed moderate activity. Compounds 4c and 8b were found to be nearly equipotent with ciprofloxacin against P. aeruginosa with MIC 5.2 μg/mL, while compound 8b was more potent against pathogenic bacteria S. aureus. It is very remarkable that four compounds, 4c, 4e, 7e and 8b showed pronounced antifungal activity against selected pathogenic fungi, A. niger, C. albicans with MIC 2.6 μg/mL and 5.2 μg/mL. The antitubercular activity of synthesized compounds reveal that compound 8b showed better activity than the other compounds with a MIC of 5.2 μg/mL against M. tuberculosis (H37Rv). Molecular docking studies of the compounds were performed to rationalize the inhibitory properties of these compounds and results showed that these compounds have good binding energy and better binding affinity within the active pocket, thus these compounds may be considered as potent inhibitors towards selective targets.

- The natural-based optimization of kojic acid conjugated to different thio-quinazolinones as potential anti-melanogenesis agents with tyrosinase inhibitory activity
-
Melanin pigment and melanogenesis are a two-edged sword. Melanin has a radioprotection role while melanogenesis has undesirable effects. Targeting the melanogenesis pathway, a series of kojyl thioether conjugated to different quinazolinone derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against mushroom tyrosinase. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their anti-tyrosinase activity and all derivatives displayed better potency than kojic acid as the positive control. In this regard, 5j and 5h as the most active compounds showed an IC50 value of 0.46 and 0.50 μM, respectively. In kinetic evaluation against tyrosinase, 5j depicted an uncompetitive inhibition pattern. Designed compounds also exhibited mild antioxidant capacity. Moreover, 5j and 5h achieved good potency against the B16F10 cell line to reduce the melanin content, whilst showing limited toxicity against malignant cells. The proposed binding mode of new inhibitors evaluated through molecular docking was consistent with the results of structure–activity relationship analysis.

-
A series of new quinazolinone-dihydropyrano[3,2-b]pyran derivatives 10A-L were synthesized by simple chemical reactions and were investigated for inhibitory activities against α-glucosidase and α-amylase. New synthesized compounds showed high α-glucosidase inhibition effects in comparison to the standard drug acarbose and were inactive against α-amylase. Among them, the most potent compound was compound 10L (IC50 value = 40.1 ± 0.6 μM) with inhibitory activity around 18.75-fold more than acarboase (IC50 value = 750.0 ± 12.5 μM). This compound was a competitive inhibitor into α-glucosidase. Our obtained experimental results were confirmed by docking studies. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity of the most potent compounds 10L, 10G, and 10N against normal fibroblast cells and in silico druglikeness, ADME, and toxicity prediction of these compounds were also evaluated.

A new series of quinazolinone-2-thio-metronidazole derivatives 9a-o was designed, synthesized and assayed for their activities against metabolic enzymes human carbonic anhydrase I and II (hCAs I and II), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and α-glucosidase. The results indicated that all the synthesized compounds exhibited excellent inhibitory activities against mentioned enzymes as compared with standard inhibitors. Representatively, the most potent compound against CA enzymes, 4-fluorophenyl derivative 9i, was 4 and 7-times more potent than standard inhibitor acetazolamide against hCA I and II, respectively; 4-fluorobenzyl derivative 9m as the most potent compound against cholinesterase enzymes, was around 11 and 21-times more potent than standard inhibitor tacrine against AChE and BChE, respectively; the most active α-glucosidase inhibitor 9h with 4-methoxyphenyl moiety was 5-times more active that acarbose as standard inhibitor. Furthermore, in order to study interaction modes of the most potent compounds in the active site of their related enzymes, molecular modeling was performed. Druglikeness, ADME, and toxicity profile of the compounds 9i, 9m, and 9h were also predicted.

- Anti-HIV and Antibacterial Activities of Novel 2-(3-Substituted-4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2-yl)-2,3-dihydrophthalazine-1,4-diones
-
Abstract: In the present study, we have synthesized a series of novel 2-(3-substituted-4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2-yl)-2,3-dihydrophthalazine-1,4-diones by the reaction of 3-(substituted)-2-hydrazino-quinazoline-4(3H)-ones with phthalic anhydride. The starting material 3-(substituted)-2-hydrazino-quinazolin-4(3H)-ones were synthesized from various primary amines. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their antitubercular, anti-HIV and antibacterial activity against different gram positive and gram negative strains by agar dilution method. Among the test compounds, 2-(3-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2-yl)-2,3-dihydrophthalazine-1,4-dione (QCT7) shown most potent antibacterial activity against E. coli, and S. aureus with the MIC of 3 μg/mL. The compound QCT7 exhibited the antitubercular activity with the MIC of 25 μg/mL and anti-HIV activity with the EC50 of 43.68 μM against HIV1 and HIV2 and offers potential lead for further optimization and development to new antitubercular and anti-HIV agents. The results obtained from this study confirm that the synthesized and biologically evaluated quinazolines showed promising antimicrobial, antitubercular and anti-HIV activities and are new scaffolds for antimicrobial activity.

- Synthesis, in vitro, and in silico studies of newly functionalized quinazolinone analogs for the identification of potent α-glucosidase inhibitors
-
Functionalized quinazolinone derivatives 1–30 were synthesized by two-step reaction. First, anthranilic acid was treated with substituted phenyl isothiocyanate to synthesize 3-aryl-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydroquinazolinone derivatives 1–8 which in turn reacted with different bromoacetophenone derivatives to obtain fully functionalized quinazolinone derivatives 9–30. Both reactions were catalyzed by triethylamine. All the products were characterized by EI-, HREI-MS, 1H-, and 13CNMR spectroscopic techniques. All compounds were subjected to their in vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Results showed that except compound 1–3, 5, 7, and 22, all compounds were found potent and showed many folds increased α-glucosidase enzyme inhibition as compared to standard acarbose (IC50 = 750.0 ± 10.0?μM). Compound 13 (IC50 = 85.0 ± 0.5?μM) was recognized as the most potent analog of the whole series, with ninefold enhanced inhibitory potential than the standard acarbose. Compounds 1–9, 11, 12, 22, and 26 were structurally known compounds, while remaining all are new. Kinetic study on compound 13 showed that the compound is following a competitive-type inhibition mechanism. Furthermore, in silico studies have also been performed to better rationalize the interactions between synthetic compound and active site of the enzyme.

- CuBr-catalysed one-pot multicomponent synthesis of 3-substituted 2-thioxo-2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-one derivatives
-
A novel methodology is presented for the synthesis of 3-substituted 2-thioxo-2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-one derivatives based on an efficient tandem multicomponent reaction using copper bromide as catalyst. This methodology is based on the multicomponent one-pot reaction of methyl 2-bromobenzoate, phenylisothiocyanate derivatives and sodium azide in the presence of copper bromide and l-proline under basic conditions. To show the generality of the method, various phenylisothiocyanates bearing electron-donating or electron-withdrawing functionalities were used and the desired products were obtained in high isolated yields.

- Synthesis, molecular modeling and anti-cancer evaluation of a series of quinazoline derivatives
-
Quinazolines were surveyed as biologically relevant moieties against different cancer cell lines, so in the present study, we analyzed novel derivatives as target-oriented chemotherapeutic anti-cancer drugs. A series of 3-substituted 2-thioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-quinazolin-4-ones 4a-e were synthesized via the reaction of 2-aminobenzoic acid (1) with isothiocyanate derivatives 2a-e. S-alkylation and S-glycosylation were carried via the reaction of 4a-e with alkyl halides and α-glycopyranosyl bromides 7a,b under anhydrous alkaline and glycoside conditions, respectively. The S-alkylated and S-glycosylated structures, and not that of the N-alkylated and N-glycosylated isomers, have been selected for the products. Conformational analysis has been studied by homo- and heteronuclear two-dimensional NMR methods (DQF-COSY, HMQC, and HMBC). The S site of alkylation and glycosylation were determined from the 1H, 13C heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence (HMQC) experiments. All derivatives were subjected to molecular docking calculations, which selected some derivatives (5n, 8c, 8g, 9c, and 9a) as promising ones based on their excellent binding affinities towards the EGFR tyrosine kinase molecular target. The in vitro cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 and HepG2 cell lines showed effective anti-proliferative activity of the analyzed derivatives with lower IC50 values especially 9a with IC50 = 2.09 and 2.08 μM against MCF-7 and HepG2, respectively, and their treatments were safe against the normal cell line Gingival mesenchymal stem cells (GMSC). Moreover, RT-PCR reaction investigated the apoptotic pathway for the compound 9a, which activated the P53 genes and its related genes. So, further work is recommended for developing it as a chemotherapeutic drug.

- Novel click modifiable thioquinazolinones as anti-inflammatory agents: Design, synthesis, biological evaluation and docking study
-
Click chemistry was used to synthesize a new series of thioquinazolinone molecules equipped with propargyl moiety,1,2,3-triazolyl and isoxazolyl rings. Our design was based on merging pharmacophores previously reported to exhibit COX-2 inhibitory activities to a thioquinazolinone-privileged scaffold. The synthesized compounds were subjected to in vitro cyclooxygenase COX-1/COX-2 and 15-LOX inhibition assays. Compounds 2c, 3b, 3h, 3j, and 3k showed COX-2 inhibition with IC50 (μM) 0.18, 0.19, 0.11, 0.16 and 0.17 respectively. These values were compared to celecoxib (IC50 0.05 μM), diclofenac (IC50 0.8 μM) and indomethacin (IC50 0.49 μM) reference drugs. They also showed 15-LOX inhibition with IC50 (μM) 6.21, 4.33, 7.62, 5.21 and 3.98 respectively. These values were compared with Zileuton (IC50 2.41 μM) and Meclofenamate sodium (IC50 5.64 μM) as positive controls. These compounds were further challenged by PMA-induced THP-1 differentiation assay where compounds 2c and 3j inhibited monocyte to macrophage differentiation efficiently with IC50 values of 4.78 μM and 5.63 μM, respectively, compared to that of diclofenac sodium (4.86 μM). On the other hand, 3h demonstrated a significantly increased potency compared to diclofenac in this assay (IC50 = 0.13 μM). The same compounds exhibited significant in vivo anti-inflammatory effect as indicated by the formalin-induced rat-paw edema test. Docking experiments of compounds 2c, 3b, 3h, 3j, and 3k into COX-2 binding pocket have been conducted, where strong binding interactions have been identified and effective overall docking scores have been recorded. Their drug-likeness has been assessed using Molinspiration, Molsoft and Pre-ADMET software products.

-
A series of 4-(substituted-phenyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinazolin-5(4H)-ones (6a-x) with triazole and other heterocyclic substituents (7-14) were synthesized and the compounds were evaluated for their anticonvulsant activity and neurotoxicity by maximal electroshock (MES) and rotarod neurotoxicity tests. Among the compounds studied, 6o and 6q showed wide margins of safety with protective indices (PIs) that were much higher than those of currently used drugs (PI6o > 25.5, PI6q > 26.0). Compounds 6o and 6q showed significant oral activity against MES-induced seizures in mice, with ED50 values of 88.02 and 94.6 mg/kg, respectively. The two compounds were also found to have potent activity against seizures that were induced by pentylenetetrazole and bicuculline. A series of 4-(substituted-phenyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinazolin-5(4H)-ones with triazole and other heterocyclic substituents were synthesized and the compounds were evaluated for their anticonvulsant activity and neurotoxicity using maximal electroshock and rotarod neurotoxicity tests.

- Design, synthesis and anticonvulsant activity of some newer 3H-quinazolin-4-one derivatives
-
In the present investigation, a series of 2-[2-(aryl)-2-oxo-ethylsulfanyl]- 3-(aryl/propyl)-3H-quinazolin-4-ones have been synthesized and tested for their potential against seizures in mice. All the newly synthesized compounds show moderate to high protection against 6 Hz partial seizure with compound 2b, 2-(2-oxo-2-p-tolyl-ethylsulfanyl)-3-phenyl-3H-quinazolin-4-one emerging as the most active anticonvulsant agent endowed with neuroprotective effect against NMDA and kainate induced excitotoxicity. The results of whole brain GABA assay indicates that the seizure protective activity of 2b can be either due to the increased brain GABA level or due to neuroprotective action.

- Antimicrobial studies of some novel quinazolinones fused with [1,2,4]-triazole, [1,2,4]-triazine and [1,2,4,5]-tetrazine rings
-
Three series of novel and new fused heterocyclic systems, viz. triazolo[4,3-a]-quinazolin-7-ones (4), [1,2,4,5]-tetrazino[4,3-a]-quinazolin-8-ones (6) and indolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]-triazino[4,3-a]-quinazolin-8-ones (8) have been synthesized from the key intermediate 3-(substituted-phenyl)-2-hydrazino-quinazolin-4-ones (3). Thus, condensation of (3) with appropriate aromatic acids in the presence of DCC in dichloromethane afforded the fused system (4), while reaction of (3) with isatin in methanol gave the corresponding Schiff base (7) which on cyclodehydration furnished another fused heterocyclic system (8). The intermediate (3) on refluxing with substituted-phenylisothiocyanate gave the substituted-thiosemicarbazide (5), which on oxidative cyclization with bromine in CCl4 furnished the novel fused system (6). The structures of intermediate and final compounds have been determined by means of IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, UV and elemental analysis. All the synthesized compounds have been screened for their antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Gram-positive bacteria, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Bacillus subtilis, as well as demonstrated significant antifungal activity against fungi viz. Candida albicans, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus, and Aspergillus niger.

- CODES, a novel procedure for ligand-based virtual screening: PDE7 inhibitors as an application example
-
Phosphodiesterase (PDE) 7 is a high affinity cAMP-specific PDE whose functional role in T-cells has been the subject of some controversy. Recent findings on tissue distribution, however, support the hypothesis that PDE7 could be a good target for the treatment of airway diseases, T-cell related diseases or central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Therefore, the identification of selective inhibitors targeted against PDE7 enzyme has become an attractive area of research. We report here the first use of the descriptors generated by the CODES program for ligand-based virtual screening. This program codifies molecules from a topological point of view and the generated descriptors are related to the chemical nature of the atoms, the atomic bonds and the connectivity with the rest of the molecule. They are also able to distinguish among stereoisomers. By using this approach, 173 compounds were codified, and their similarity with the reference compound was analysed. Based on the analysis, new potential PDE7 inhibitors have been identified, synthesized and biologically evaluated confirming that CODES descriptors are valid for ligand-based virtual screening and provided new lead compounds for further optimization as potent and selective PDE7 inhibitors.

- Synthesis, properties, and mass-spectrometric fragmentation of 2-thio derivatives of 3-arylquinazolin-4-ones
-
We have studied the reactions of alkylation, oxidation, and hydrolysis of 3-aryl-2-thioxoquinazolin-4-ones. Alkylation in an alkaline medium occurs exclusively at the sulfur atom. Oxidation by hydrogen peroxide leads to formation of 3-arylquinazoline-2,4-diones. The latter are also obtained in base or acid hydrolysis of the synthesized S-alkyl derivatives. When 3-aryl-2-thioxoquinazolin-4-ones are reacted with iodine, we obtain the disulfides, while the reaction with chlorine in hydrochloric acid leads to 2-chloroquinazolin-4-ones. Studying the mass spectrometric behavior of the compounds obtained made it possible to observe in the gas phase ring-chain isomerization of the heterocyclic ring, and also S-N migration of the propargyl radical in molecular ions of the S-propargyl derivatives.

- A convenient 'catch and release' synthesis of fused 2-alkylthio-pyrimidinones mediated by polymer-bound BEMP
-
A robust 'catch and release' synthesis of fused 2-alkylthio-3-substituted-pyrimidinones mediated by the polymer-bound base P-BEMP is described. This reengineered synthesis combines the efficiency of the classical synthesis (three steps, three diversity points) with the practical benefits of resin-bound reagents. The solution-phase strategy, reagent compatibility, and the results of a representative 48-member combinatorial library are described and presented herein.
