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.

Aiming to discover new antihyperlipidemic agents, a new set of quinazolinone-fibrate hybrids 9a–r bearing the essential features for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPARα) agonistic activity was synthesized and the structures were confirmed by different spectral data. All the target compounds were screened for their PPARα agonistic activity. Compounds 9o and 9q exhibited potent activity, with EC50 values better than that of fenofibrate by 8.7- and 27-fold, respectively. Molecular docking investigations were performed for all the newly synthesized compounds in the active site of the PPARα receptor to study their interactions and energies in the receptor. Moreover, the antihyperlipidemic and antioxidant activities of compounds 9o and 9q were determined using Triton WR-1339-induced hyperlipidemic rats. Compound 9q exhibited effective hypolipidemic activity in a dose-dependent manner, where it significantly reduced the serum levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and increased the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Furthermore, it possesses a powerful antioxidant profile where it significantly elevated the levels of reduced glutathione as well as the total antioxidant capacity and significantly decreased the malondialdehyde level. The histopathological studies revealed that compound 9q improved the aortic architecture and hepatic steatosis. These findings support that compound 9q could be a promising lead compound for the development of new antihyperlipidemic agents.

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.

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.

Inhibiting VEGFR-2 has been set up as a therapeutic strategy for treatment of cancer. Thus, nineteen new quinazoline-4(3H)-one derivatives were designed and synthesized. Preliminary cytotoxicity studies of the synthesized compounds were evaluated against three human cancer cell lines (HepG-2, MCF-7 and HCT-116) using MTT assay method. Doxorubicin and sorafenib were used as positive controls. Five compounds were found to have promising cytotoxic activities against all cell lines. Compound 16f, containing a 2-chloro-5-nitrophenyl group, has emerged as the most active member. It was approximately 4.39-, 5.73- and 1.96-fold more active than doxorubicin and 3.88-, 5.59- and 1.84-fold more active than sorafenib against HepG2, HCT-116 and MCF-7 cells, respectively. The most active cytotoxic agents were further evaluated in vitro for their VEGFR-2 inhibitory activities. The results of in vitro VEGFR-2 inhibition were consistent with that of the cytotoxicity data. Molecular docking of these compounds into the kinase domain, moreover, supported the results.

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.

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.

In the design of novel drugs, the formation of hybrid molecules via the combination of several pharmacophores can give rise to compounds with interesting biochemical profiles. A series of novel quinazolin–sulfonamid derivatives (9a–m) were synthesized, characterized and evaluated for their in vitro antidiabetic, anticholinergics, and antiepileptic activity. These synthesized novel quinazolin–sulfonamid derivatives (9a–m) were found to be effective inhibitor molecules for the α-glycosidase, human carbonic anhydrase I and II (hCA I and hCA II), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme, with Ki values in the range of 100.62 ± 13.68–327.94 ± 58.21 nM for α-glycosidase, 1.03 ± 0.11–14.87 ± 2.63 nM for hCA I, 1.83 ± 0.24–15.86 ± 2.57 nM for hCA II, 30.12 ± 3.81–102.16 ± 13.87 nM for BChE, and 26.16 ± 3.63–88.52 ± 20.11 nM for AChE, respectively. In the last step, molecular docking calculations were made to compare biological activities of molecules against enzymes which are achethylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase and α-glycosidase.

A series of novel quinazolinone derivatives bearing a disulfide bond were designed and synthesized. Their in vitro antiproliferative activities were evaluated using CCK-8 assay against SMMC-7721, Hela, A549 and MCF-7 human cancer cell lines and normal cell lines L929. The preliminary bioassay results demonstrated that all compounds 7a–7h, 8a–8h and 9a–9h exhibited antiproliferation with various degrees, and some compounds showed better effects than positive control 5-fluorouracil against different cancer cell lines. Among these compounds, 8c and 9f showed significant antiproliferative activity against SMMC-7721 cells with IC50 values of 2.88 and 2.56 μM, respectively. In Hela cells, compounds 9c and 9d showed highly effective biological activity with IC50 values of 3.16 and 2.68 μM, respectively. Compounds 7a and 9a exhibited good inhibitory effect against A549 cells with IC50 values of 3.53 and 3.54 μM, respectively. In MCF-7 cells, compounds 7e, 8e and 9e displayed excellent activity with IC50 values of 1.26, 1.12 and 1.85 μM, respectively. Besides, most of the tested compounds showed low cytotoxic effect against the normal cell lines L929. Biological evaluation indicated that all the tested compounds possessed antibacterial activity with certain degrees.
