Synthesis of 2-aryl quinazolinones: Via iron-catalyzed cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) between N-H and C-H bonds
Herein, we describe the direct synthesis of quinazolinones via cross-dehydrogenative coupling between methyl arenes and anthranilamides. The C-H functionalization of the benzylic sp3 carbon is achieved by di-t-butyl peroxide under air, and the subsequent amination-aerobic oxidation process completes the annulation process. Iron catalyzed the whole reaction process and various kinds of functional groups were tolerated under the reaction conditions, providing 31 examples of 2-aryl quinazolinones using methyl arene derivatives in yields of 57-95percent. The synthetic potential has been demonstrated by the additional synthesis of aryl-containing heterocycles. This journal is
Palladium-Catalyzed Oxidative Three-Component Coupling of Anthranilamides with Isocyanides and Arylboronic Acids: Access to 2,3-Disubstituted Quinazolinones
A novel palladium-catalyzed oxidative three-component coupling of easily accessible N-substituted anthranilamides with isocyanides and arylboronic acids is achieved. This protocol offers an alternative approach toward 2,3-disubstituted quinazolinones with a wide substrate scope and good functional group tolerance.
Identification and optimization of a new series of anti-tubercular quinazolinones
A high throughput phenotypic screening against Mycobacterium smegmatis led us to the discovery of a new class of bacteriostatic, highly hydrophobic antitubercular quinazolinones that potently inhibited the in vitro growth of either extracellular or intramacrophagic M. tuberculosis (Mtb), via modulation of an unidentified but yet novel target. Optimization of the initial hit compound culminated in the identification of potent but poorly soluble Mtb growth inhibitors, three of which were progressed to in vivo efficacy studies. Despite nanomolar in vitro potency and attractive PK properties, none of these compounds was convincingly potent in our in vivo mouse tuberculosis models. This lack of efficacy may be linked to the poor drug-likeness of the test molecules and/or to the properties of the target.[Figure presented]
Two-directional approach for the rapid synthesis of 2,4-bis-aminoaryl pyridine derivatives
We have developed two different approaches in parallel to rapidly access 2,4-bis aminoaryl pyridine compounds from a common starting material. The C-4/C-2 approach uses palladium-mediated coupling reactions to sequentially functionalize C-4 and then C-2. An alternative C-2/C-4 route uses a regioselective SNAr reaction to first substitute at C-2 then subsequently at C-4 by a palladium-mediated reaction. Both approaches have been used successfully to provide a range of 2,4-bis-aminoaryl pyridine compounds.
The present invention relates to compounds that inhibit of focal adhesion kinase function, processes for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing them as the active ingredient, to their use as medicaments and to their use in the manufacture of medicaments for use in the treatment in warm-blooded animals such as humans of diseases such as cancer.

Development of novel 2-[4-(aminoalkoxy)phenyl]-4(3H)-quinazolinone derivatives as potent and selective histamine H3 receptor inverse agonists
Novel 2-[4-(aminoalkoxy)phenyl]-4(3H)-quinazolinone derivatives were identified as potent human H3 receptor inverse agonists. After systematic modification of lead 5a, the potent and selective analog 5r was identified. Elimination of hERG K+ channel and human α1A-adrenoceptor activities is the main focus of the present study.
