Quinazolinone derivatives: Synthesis and comparison of inhibitory mechanisms on α-glucosidase

In this study, eight quinazolinone derivatives were designed and synthesized. Their inhibitory activities on α-glucosidase were assessed in vitro. Two compounds: 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-quinazolin-4(3H)-one (CQ) and 2-(4-bromophenyl)-quinazolin-4(3H)-one (BQ) were found to be potent inhibitors of α-glucosidase with IC50values of 12.5 ± 0.1 μM and 15.6 ± 0.2 μM, respectively. Spectroscopy methods were performed to analyze the inhibitory mechanisms of both compounds on α-glucosidase. The results revealed that they reversibly inhibited α-glucosidase in a non-competitive manner. CQ and BQ could statically quench the fluorescence spectra by formation of an inhibitor-α-glucosidase complex. The interaction between CQ and α-glucosidase depended on hydrogen bonds, electrostatic and hydrophobic force, while the driving force of the binding between BQ and the enzyme was hydrophobic. The docking results showed that BQ was less active than CQ against α-glucosidase because of its weaker interaction with the enzyme. In brief, the quinazolinone derivatives identified in this work were potentially promising candidates for developing as novel anti-diabetic agents.

Catalyst-free synthesis of quinazolinones by oxidative cyclization under visible light in the absence of additives

A general metal-free oxidative cyclization route was developed to synthesize quinazolinones under visible light. A series of substituted 2-aminobenzamides were reacted with aldehydes or ketones to produce the desired quinazolinones in good yields. Most importantly, the reaction did not require excess oxidant or high temperatures.

Regioselective Synthesis of 2° Amides Using Visible-Light-Induced Photoredox-Catalyzed Nonaqueous Oxidative C-N Cleavage of N, N-Dibenzylanilines

A visible-light-driven photoredox-catalyzed nonaqueous oxidative C-N cleavage of N,N-dibenzylanilines to 2° amides is reported. Further, we have applied this protocol on 2-(dibenzylamino)benzamide to afford quinazolinones with (NH4)2S2O8 as an additive. Mechanistic studies imply that the reaction might undergo in situ generation of α-amino radical to imine by C-N bond cleavage followed by the addition of superoxide ion to form amides.

An efficient transition-metal-free route to quinazolin-4(3H)-onesvia2-aminobenzamides and thiols

An efficient approach to quinazolin-4(3H)-ones was developed by a one-pot intermolecular annulation reaction ofo-amino benzamides and thiols. This method has the features of good functional group tolerance, being transition metal and external oxidant free, and easy operation. Varieties of 2-aryl (heteroaryl) quinazolin-4(3H)-one, 2-phenyl-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one and 3-phenyl-2H-1,2,4-benzo thiadiazine-1,1-dioxide derivatives were obtained with a yield of up to 98%. The control experiment revealed that the thiol substrate could promote the dehydroaromatization step.

Palladium-catalyzed 2-substituted quinazolin-4(3H)-one formation from readily availableo-nitrobenzamides and alcohols using hydrogen transfer is described. Various quinazolin-4(3H)-ones were obtained in good to high yields. The cascade reaction including

Improved, gram-scale synthesis of sildenafil in water using arylacetic acid as the acyl source in the pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one ring formation

An improved, gram-scale synthesis of the blockbuster drug sildenafil, used for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction, has been developed. Unlike the previous literature, the current method demonstrates the use of arylacetic acid as an acyl source, a cheap oxidant K2S2O8, and water as the reaction medium in the key step of pyrrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one ring formation. As well as being a green and benign approach, the current method reduces the cost by half compared to our previous strategy. In addition, the general relevance of the method has been demonstrated in the synthesis of a variety of quinazolinone and benzothiazole derivatives with excellent functional group tolerance.

Aerobic primary and secondary amine oxidation cascade by a copper amine oxidase inspired catalyst

Herein, we report a bioinspired catalytic system for the one-pot cascade oxidation of a native primary amine and anin situgenerated non-native secondary amine. The catalyst consists of ano-quinone cofactor phd (1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione) and a copper ion and operates under ambient air conditions. Quinazolin-4(3H)-ones, which are common pharmacophores present in numerous pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds, were synthesized in high yields. A detailed kinetic and mechanistic study elucidates the role of the catalyst in the multi-step oxidative cascade reaction.

α-Keto Acids as Triggers and Partners for the Synthesis of Quinazolinones, Quinoxalinones, Benzooxazinones, and Benzothiazoles in Water

A general and efficient method for the synthesis of quinazolinones, quinoxalinones, benzooxazinones, and benzothiazoles from the reactions of α-keto acids with 2-aminobenzamides, benzene-1,2-diamines, 2-aminophenols, and 2-aminobenzenethiols, respectively, is described. The reactions were conducted under catalyst-free conditions, using water as the sole solvent with no additive required, and successfully applied to the synthesis of sildenafil. More importantly, these reactions can be conducted on a mass scale, and the products can be easily purified through filtration and washing with ethanol (or crystallized).

Visible light induced tandem reactions: An efficient one pot strategy for constructing quinazolinones using in-situ formed aldehydes under photocatalyst-free and room-temperature conditions

A facile tandem route has been developed for constructing quinazolinones from various aminobenzamides and in-situ generated aldehydes. Visible light was found to play a dual role: first oxidizes the alcohol to the aldehyde and then facilitates its cyclization with o-substituted aniline. Furthermore, alcohols are perfect alternatives to aldehydes because they are greener, more available, more economical, more stable, and less toxic than aldehydes. The first reaction step continuously provides material for the second step, which effectively reduces loss through volatilization, oxidation, and polymerization of the aldehyde, while avoiding its toxicity. A variety of quinazolinones can be prepared in the presence of visible light without any additional photocatalyst. The developed synthesis protocol proceeds with the merits of mild conditions, broad substrate scope, operational simplicity, and high atom efficiency, with an eco-energy source under metal-free, photocatalyst-free, and ambient conditions.

Zinc Stabilized Azo-anion Radical in Dehydrogenative Synthesis of N-Heterocycles. An Exclusively Ligand Centered Redox Controlled Approach

Herein we report an exclusively ligand-centered redox controlled approach for the dehydrogenation of a variety of N-heterocycles using a Zn(II)-stabilized azo-anion radical complex as the catalyst. A simple, easy-to-prepare, and bench-stable Zn(II)-complex (1b) featuring the tridentate arylazo pincer, 2-((4-chlorophenyl)diazenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline, in the presence of zinc-dust, undergoes reduction to form the azo-anion radical species [1b]- which efficiently dehydrogenates various saturated N-heterocycles such as 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-methylquinoline, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-isoquinoline, indoline, 2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzoimidazole, 2,3-dihydro-2-phenylquinazolin-4(1H)-one, and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-phenylquinazolines, among others, under air. The catalyst has further been found to be compatible with the cascade synthesis of these N-heterocycles via dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols with other suitable coupling partners under air. Mechanistic investigation reveals that the dehydrogenation reactions proceed via a one-electron hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) pathway where the zinc-stabilized azo-anion radical ligand abstracts the hydrogen atom from the organic substrate(s), and the whole catalytic cycle proceeds via the exclusive involvement of the ligand-centered redox events where the zinc acts only as the template.
