Astemizole is a H1-antagonist endowed with antimalarial activity, but has hERG liabilities. Systematic structural modifications of astemizole led to the discovery of analogues that display very potent activity as inhibitors of the growth of the Plasmodium parasite, but show a decreased hERG inhibition, when compared to astemizole. These compounds can be used as starting point for the development of a new class of antimalarials.

3-Substituted 2,4(1H,3H)-quinazolinediones were prepared from the corresponding N-substituted 2-aminobenzamides by treatment with ethyl chloroformate and KOH in ethanol. Also, a series of 3-substituted and 1-methyl-3-substituted 2,4(1H,3H)-quinazolinediones were synthesized by the reaction of 1-methyl-1,4-dihydro- and 1,4-dihydro-2,4-dioxo-3(2H)-quinazolineacetic acid with the corresponding N-substituted piperazines. The 13C NMR spectra and mass spectra of the compounds were measured and signals were assigned. Some of the compounds showed inhibitory action on contractile function of smooth muscle.
