4-Quinazolinones: synthesis and reduction of prostaglandin E2 production
摘要:
We synthesized and evaluated the anti-inflammatory activity of a series of 4-quinazolinone derivatives. Two approaches were used to yield the title compounds. A first group of quinazolinone derivatives was obtained by the appropriate substituted anthranilates. A second group of quinazolinone compounds was prepared through the benzoxazin-4-ones intermediate. The pharmacological results reveal that the synthesized derivatives exhibit a significant anti-inflammatory effect in an experimental ocular inflammation model. In fact, all the tested compounds lowered the prostaglandin E-2 (PGE(2)) production with respect to the control group (P < 0.05). The 3-cyclohexyl-6-chloro-quinazolin-4(3H)-one and 3-cyclohexyl-quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives were the most active compounds. These compounds significantly reduced PGE(2) levels even more than the reference drug tolmetin and significantly lower protein concentration and polymorphonuclear leukocytes number compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Therefore, these compounds may be useful to prevent ocular inflammatory reactions. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

In the search for convenient, green, and practical catalytic methods for the current interest in organic synthesis, a simple, green, and highly efficient protocol for N-formylation of various amines was carried out in the presence of immobilized sulfuric acid on silica gel (H2SO4–SiO2). All reactions were performed in refluxing triethyl orthoformate (65 °C). The product formamides were obtained with
