- Synthesis, in vitro cytotoxic, anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis and molecular docking studies of 4-pyridylamino- and 4-(ethynylpyridine)quinazolines
-
A series of 4-(pyridylamino)- and 4-(ethynylpyridine)quinazolines were successfully prepared via Sonogashira cross-coupling and dechloroamination reactions on the C(4)-Cl position of the requisite 2-(p-phenyl)-4-chloroquinazolines. The prepared compounds were characterized by means of 1H- and 13C-NMR, FT-IR and mass spectrometry techniques. The structure of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-(2-(pyridin-4-yl) ethynyl) quinazoline from the 4-(ethynylpyridine) series was confirmed by single crystal X-ray analysis which indicates monoclinic crystal system and P21/c space group. Compounds from the 4-chloro-, 4-(pyridylamino)- and 4-(ethynylpyridine)-quinazoline series were evaluated for anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) properties in vitro employing rifampicin as a reference drug. The results from the Alamar Blue assay (Mtb H37Rv strain) revealed promising MIC90 ranging from 125 μM. The cytotoxicity of the synthesised compounds was tested against the Raw 264.7 microphage cell line at a maximum concentration of 50 μM. The possible mode of interaction against the Mtb was theoretically explained through molecular 3ZXR protein and the more prominent hydrogen bond is observed between the nitrogen of the pyridine ring moiety of the 5 and 6 series with OH group of SER280. Also, a metal coordination between the methoxy benzene moiety of compound 6e and Mg2+ is also observed, explaining the SAR of these compounds to MtGS.

- Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Agricultural Antimicrobial Evaluation of Novel Quinazoline Thioether Derivatives Incorporating the 1,2,4-Triazolo[4,3- a]pyridine Moiety
-
A total of 22 quinazoline thioether derivatives incorporating a 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine moiety were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as antimicrobial agents in agriculture. Among these compounds, the chemical structure of compound 6l was further confirmed via single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The bioassay results revealed that some of the compounds possessed noticeable in vitro antibacterial activities against the tested phytopathogenic bacteria. For example, compounds 6b and 6g had EC50 values as low as 10.0 and 24.7 μg/mL against Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac), respectively, which were significantly better than that of the commercial agrobactericide bismerthiazol (56.9 μg/mL). Particularly, compound 6b was also found to be capable of suppressing the pathogenic bacterium Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) approximately 12-fold more potent than control bismerthiazol, in terms of their EC50 values (7.2 versus 89.8 μg/mL). Importantly, the most active compound 6b turned out to be one with the highest hydrophilicity and the lowest molecular weight within the series. In vivo bioassays further showed the application prospect of 6b as a promising plant bactericide for controlling Xoo. Additionally, in vitro antifungal activities of these compounds were also evaluated at the concentration of 50 μg/mL. Overall, the present study demonstrated the potential of 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine-bearing quinazoline thioether derivatives as efficient agricultural antibacterial agents for crop protection.

- Synthesis, 2D-QSAR studies and biological evaluation of quinazoline derivatives as potent anti-trypanosoma cruzi agents
-
Background: Chagas disease affects about 7 million people worldwide. Only two drugs are currently available for the treatment for this parasite disease, namely, benznidazol (Bzn) and nifurtimox (Nfx). Both drugs have limited curative power in the chronic phase of the disease. Therefore, continuous research is an urgent need so as to discover novel therapeutic alternatives. Objective: The development of safer and more efficient therapeutic anti-T. cruzi drugs continues to be a major goal in trypanocidal chemotherapy. Method: Synthesis, 2D-QSAR and drug-like physicochemical properties of a set of quinazolinone and quinazoline derivatives were studied as trypanocidal agents. All compounds were screened in vitro against Trypanosoma cruzi (Tulahuen strain, Tul 2 stock) epimastigotes and bloodstream trypomastigotes. Results: Out of 34 compounds synthesized and tested, six compounds (5a, 5b, 9b, 9h, 13f and 13p) displayed significant activity against both epimastigotes and tripomastigotes, without exerting toxicity on Vero cells. Conclusion: The antiprotozoal activity of these quinazolinone and quinazoline derivatives represents an interesting starting point for a medicinal chemistry program aiming at the development of novel chemotherapies for Chagas disease.

- Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of Methyl 2-(2-(2-Arylquinazolin-4-yl)sulfanyl)acetylamino Alkanoates
-
A series of methyl 2-(2-(2-arylquinazolin-4-yl)sulfanyl)acetylamino alkanoates have been developed on the basis of the S-chemoselective reaction of 2-arylquinazolin-4(3H)-thione with ethyl chloroacetate and N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide coupling method with amino acid ester hydrochloride. The precursor 2-arylquinazolin-4(3H)-thione was prepared by a new thiation method from 2-arylquinazolin-4(3H)-one by a two-step reaction that includes chlorination and then the reaction with N-cyclohexyldithiocarbamate cyclohexyl ammonium salt. The antimicrobial activity of the synthesized compounds was tested in vitro via paper-disc agar-plate method against two bacterial strains Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli and a pathogenic yeast Candida albicans. Most synthesized compounds showed remarkable antibacterial activity against E.?coli overpassing the standard reference antibiotics applied: tetracycline, erythromycin, and novobiocin. On the other hand, most synthesized compounds gave moderate antifungal activity against pathogenic yeast C.?albicans.

- Synthesis and biological investigation of 2,4-substituted quinazolines as highly potent inhibitors of breast cancer resistance protein (ABCG2)
-
Expression of ABCG2, a member of the ABC transporter superfamily, has been correlated to the clinical outcome of multiple cancers and is often associated with the occurrence of multidrug resistance (MDR) in chemotherapy. Inhibition of the transport protein by potent and selective inhibitors might be a way to treat cancer more efficiently and improve the therapy of cancer patients. Recently we reported the synthesis of new inhibitors based on a quinazoline scaffold. In the present study more structural variations were explored. Compounds with 3,4-dimethoxy groups and meta or para nitro substituents were found to be highly potent inhibitors of ABCG2. The most potent compound was more than five-fold more potent than Ko143, one of the best inhibitors of ABCG2. To determine the new compounds selectivity toward ABCG2 their inhibitory effects on ABCB1 and ABCC1 were also investigated identifying selective as well as broadspectrum inhibitors. Furthermore, intrinsic cytotoxicity and efficacy regarding the reversal of multidrug resistance toward SN-38 and mitoxantrone were explored. The most potent compounds were able to reverse the resistance toward the cytostatic agents with EC50 values below 20 nM. Additionally, the type of interaction between inhibitors and the ABCG2 substrate Hoechst 33342 was investigated yielding competitive and non-competitive interactions suggesting different modes of binding. Finally the effect of the derivatives on vanadate-sensitive ATPase activity of ABCG2 was determined. According to the different effects on ATPase activity we conclude the existence of different binding sites. This study provides the structural requirements for high potency inhibition and elucidates the interaction with ABCG2 setting the basis for further studies.

- Design, Synthesis, and Pharmacological Characterization of N-(4-(2 (6,7-Dimethoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)yl)ethyl)phenyl)quinazolin-4-amine Derivatives: Novel Inhibitors Reversing P-Glycoprotein-Mediated Multidrug Resistance
-
P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated multidrug resistance (MDR) is a principal obstacle for successful cancer chemotherapy. A novel P-gp inhibitor with a quinazoline scaffold, 12k, was considered to be the most promising for in-depth study. 12k possessed high potency (EC50 = 57.9 ± 3.5 nM), low cytotoxicity, and long duration of activity in reversing doxorubicin (DOX) resistance in K562/A02 cells. 12k also boosted the potency of other MDR-related cytotoxic agents with different structures, increased accumulation of DOX, blocked P-gp-mediated Rh123 efflux, and suppressed P-gp ATPase activity in K562/A02 MDR cells. However, 12k did not have any effects on CYP3A4 activity or P-gp expression. In particular, 12k had a good half-life and oral bioavailability and displayed no influence on DOX metabolism to obviate the side effects closely related to increased plasma concentrations of cytotoxic agents in vivo.

- A novel method for heterocyclic amide-thioamide transformations
-
In this paper, we introduce a novel and convenient method for the transformation of heterocyclic amides into heteocyclic thioamides. A two-step approach was applied for this transformation: Firstly, we applied a chlorination of the heterocyclic amides to afford the corresponding chloroheterocycles. Secondly, the chloroherocycles and N-cyclohexyl dithiocarbamate cyclohexylammonium salt were heated in chloroform for 12 h at 61°C to afford heteocyclic thioamides in excellent yields.

- Development of certain new 2-substituted-quinazolin-4-ylaminobenzenesulfonamide as potential antitumor agents
-
Carbonic anhydrases (CA I, II, IX and XII) are known to be highly expressed in various human malignancies. CA IX is overexpressed in colorectal cancer specifically in hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer. Inhibition of CA activity by small molecular CA inhibitor like sulphonamides, sulphonamide derivative (SU.D2) or HIF1a inhibitor Chetomin leads to inhibition of tumorigenesis. Eighteen new quinazolin-4-sulfonamide derivatives were prepared and characterized by means of IR, NMR and mass spectra. Certain selected derivatives were tested for their ability to inhibit four isoforms of the metalloemzyme CA, namely, CA I, CA II, CA IX and CA XII. Compound 3c was found to be highly effective in inhibiting the cancer cell proliferation. 3c decreased cell viability of human HT-29 cells in dose and time dependent manner and with IC50 of 5.45 mM. Moreover, it was tested on metastatic colon cancer cell SW-620 where it was found to be equally effective on human SW-620 cells. This novel compound inhibited the CA IX and CA XII protein expression in HT-29 cells without affecting CA I and CA II expression. These findings indicate that 3c inhibits cellular proliferation in two human colon cancer cells by specifically targeting the CA IX and CA XII expression.

- Design, synthesis and in Vitro antiproliferative activity of novel isatin-quinazoline hybrids
-
Using a molecular hybridization approach, a new series of isatin-quinazoline hybrids 15a-o was designed and synthesized via two different synthetic routes. The target compounds 15a-o were prepared by the reaction of quinazoline hydrazines 12a-e with indoline-2,3-diones 13a-c or by treating 4-chloroquinazoline derivatives 11a-e with isatin hydrazones 14a-c. The in vitro anticancer activity of the newly synthesized hybrids was evaluated against the liver HepG2, breast MCF-7 and colon HT-29 cancer cell lines. A distinctive selective growth inhibitory effect was observed towards the HepG2 cancer cell line. Compounds 15b, 15g and 15l displayed the highest potency, with IC50 values ranging from 1.0 ± 0.2 to 2.4 ± 0.4 mM, and they were able to induce apoptosis in HepG2 cells, as evidenced by enhanced expression of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax and reduced expression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, in addition to increased caspase-3 levels.

- Rhodium-catalysed hydroboration employing new Quinazolinap ligands; An investigation into electronic effects
-
As part of an ongoing effort to improve the efficiency and substrate scope of our Quinazolinap ligand series in the rhodium-catalysed asymmetric hydroboration of vinyl arenes, 2-(p-trifluoromethylphenyl)-Quinazolinap and 2-(p-methoxyphenyl)-Quinazolinap have been synthesised and resolved in good yield. These, along with the previously reported 2-(2-pyridyl)-Quinazolinap and 2-(2-pyrazinyl)-Quinazolinap, form part of an electronic series of Quinazolinap ligands synthesised in order to explore electronic effects in this ligand class. The application of this series of ligands to the rhodium-catalysed asymmetric hydroboration of a range of vinylarenes is described. Good conversions and regioselectivities as well as excellent enantioselectivities up to 97% were obtained. 2-(p-Methoxyphenyl)-Quinazolinap demonstrated consistently high enantioselectivities in the hydroboration of sterically demanding vinylarenes.
