- Synthesis and antitumor activity of novel 6,7,8-trimethoxy N-aryl-substituted-4-aminoquinazoline derivatives
-
A series of 6,7,8-trimethoxy N-aryl-substituted-4-aminoquinazoline derivatives were synthesized as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors, and their antitumor activities were assessed in the gastric cancer cell line SGC7901 using MTT assay. All compounds of Tg1–14 were found to inhibit SGC7901 cell proliferation, and compound Tg11 (IC50 = 0.434 μM) was found to be slightly more effective against SGC7901 cells than epirubicin (IC50 = 5.16 μM). This suggests that compound Tg11 can be used as a new substitution structure to develop more efficacious antitumor agents. Western blot analysis showed that treatment with Tg11 (40 μM for 30 min) resulted in near complete inhibition of EGF-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation, indicating that its anti-proliferative effect is largely associated with inhibition of ERK1/2 activation. These data imply that Tg11 is a potential anticancer agent capable of inhibiting cell proliferation.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of new tetramethylpyrazine-based chalcone derivatives as potential anti-Alzheimer agents
-
In the current study, a series of new ligustrazine-based chalcones was synthesized. For insertion of tetramethylpyrazine (TMP, also designated as ligustrazine) in chemical backbone of chalcone, a new ligustrazine-based aldehyde was prepared. New ketones were synthesized for inclusion of quinazolin-4-yl amino and pyrazin-2-yl amino moieties. The newly synthesized compounds were screened for acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, and monoamine oxidases (MAO) inhibitory activities and also for in vitro cytotoxicity on PC12 cells. The effect of these compounds against amyloid β-induced cytotoxicity and aggregation was also investigated. The synthesized compounds effectively inhibited the related enzymes and also exhibited neuroprotective effects. Most of the compounds displayed better inhibitory potencies against Aβ aggregation than reference compounds. Some compounds such as 11e and 16b showed very potent effects on multiple targets exhibiting behavior as multifunctional anti-Alzheimer agents.

- Small-molecule phosphodiesterase probes: Discovery of potent and selective CNS-penetrable quinazoline inhibitors of PDE1
-
PDE1 is a family of calcium-activated, dual substrate phosphodiesterases expressed in both the CNS and periphery that play a role in the integration of intracellular calcium and cyclic nucleotide signaling cascades. Exploration of the potential in targeting this family of enzymes to treat neuropsychiatric disorders has been hampered by a lack of potent, selective, and brain penetrable PDE1 inhibitors. To identify such compounds we used high-throughput screening, structure-based design, and targeted synthetic chemistry to discover the 4-aminoquinazoline 7a (PF-04471141) and the 4-indanylquinazoline 27 (PF-04822163) each of which are PDE1 inhibitors that readily cross the blood brain barrier. These quinazoline-based PDE1-selective inhibitors represent valuable new tools to study the biological processes regulated by PDE1 and to begin to determine the potential therapeutic utility of such compounds to treat neuropsychiatric disorders.

- Microwave assisted synthesis of novel 6,7,8-trimethoxy N-substituted-4- aminoquinazoline compounds
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) A fast, efficient and convenient reaction of 6,7,8-trimethoxy-4-chloroquinazoline and aryl (or benzyl) amines was achieved under microwave irradiation in isopropyl alcohol, providing a simple method for synthesis of novel 6,7,8-trimethoxy N-substituted-4-aminoquinazoline compounds in good yield in short time. The title compounds were evaluated for their in vitro anti-proliferative activities against PC3 cell by MTT method.

- Synthesis and bioactivities of 6,7,8-trimethoxy-N-aryl-4-aminoquinazoline derivatives
-
A series of 4-aminoquinazoline derivatives is prepared by the nucleophilic substitution reaction of 6,7,8-trimethoxy-4-chloroquinazoline and aryl amine. The structures of the compounds are confirmed by elemental analysis, IR, and 1H NMR spectral data. The compounds are also evaluated for their ability to inhibit tumor cells PC3, A431, Bcap-37, and BGC823 by MTT assays. Among them, 6b and 6e are found as potent inhibitors, with IC50 values ranging from 5.8 to 9.8 μM, in vitro assay.

- Synthesis and biological activity of novel N-substituted 4-amino-6,7,8-trimethoxyquinazoline compounds
-
A series of N-substituted 4-amino-6,7,8-trimethoxyquinazoline derivatives has been synthesized from 4-chloro-6,7,8-trimethoxyquinazoline and aryl (or benzyl) amines using 2-propanol as a solvent. The starting material 4-chloro-6,7,8-trimethoxyquinazoline has been synthesized from natural gallic acid by a novel route. Their structures have been verified by elemental analysis and IR, 1H, and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The title compounds have been evaluated for their in vitro antiproliferative activities against some cancer cells by the MTT method. Unfortunately, most of the compounds tested have exhibited a weaker anticancer activity than the reference standard drug PD153035.

- The preparation and SAR of 4-(anilino), 4-(phenoxy), and 4-(thiophenoxy)-quinazolines: Inhibitors of p56(lck) and EGF-R tyorsine kinase activity
-
We report herein our preliminary results of a SAR study of quinazoline-based inhibitors of p56(lck) and EGF-R tyrosine kinase activity. The most potent inhibitor of p56(lck) identified, RPR-108518A (10), has an IC50 of 0.50 μM. The 3-chlorophenoxy- and 3-chlorothiophenoxy- derivatives 5 and 6 were also shown to be extremely potent EGF-R inhibitors.
