Abstract
This review covers article and patent data obtained mostly within the period 2013-2023 on the synthesis and biological activity of quinazolines [c]-annelated by five- and six-membered heterocycles. Pyrazolo-, benzimidazo-, triazolo- and pyrimido- [c]quinazoline systems have shown multiple potential activities against numerous targets. We highlight that most research efforts are directed to design of anticancer and antibacterial agents of azolo[c]quinazoline nature. This review emphases both on the medicinal chemistry aspects of pyrrolo[c]-, azolo[c]- and azino[c]quinazolines and comprehensive synthetic strategies of quinazolines annelated at N(3)-C(4) bond in the perspective of drug development and discovery.

Du C, Yang X, Long Y, Lang X, Liu L, Xu Y, Wu H, Chu Y, Hu X, Deng J, Ji Q. Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel spiro-quinazolinone derivatives as chitin synthase inhibitors and antifungal agents. Eur J Med Chem 2023; 255:115388. [PMID: 37141707 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2023.115388] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2023] [Revised: 04/14/2023] [Accepted: 04/16/2023] [Indexed: 05/06/2023]
Abstract
A series of spiro-quinazolinone scaffolds were constructed based on the bioactivity of quinazolinone and the inherent feature of spirocycle to design novel chitin synthase inhibitors that possess mode of action different from that of the currently used antifungal agents. Among them, the spiro[thiophen-quinazolin]-one derivatives containing α, β-unsaturated carbonyl fragments had shown inhibitory activities against chitin synthase and antifungal activities. The enzymatic experiments showed that among the sixteen compounds, compounds 12d, 12g, 12j, 12l and 12m exhibited inhibitions against chitin synthase with IC50 values of 116.7 ± 19.6 μM, 106.7 ± 14.2 μM, 102.3 ± 9.6 μM, 122.7 ± 22.2 μM and 136.8 ± 12.4 μM, respectively, which were comparable to that of polyoxin B (IC50 = 93.5 ± 11.1 μM). The assays of enzymatic Kinetic parameters showed that compound 12g was a non-competitive inhibitor of chitin synthase. The antifungal assays showed that compounds 12d, 12g, 12j, 12l and 12m exhibited a broad-spectrum of antifungal activity against the four strains tested in vitro. In which, compounds 12g and 12j had stronger antifungal activity against four tested strains than that of polyoxin B and similar to that of fluconazole, while compounds 12d, 12l and 12m showed antifungal activity comparable to that of polyoxin B against four tested strains. Meanwhile, compounds 12d, 12g, 12j, 12l and 12m exhibited good antifungal activity against fluconazole-resistant and micafungin-resistant fungi variants with MIC values ranging from 4 to 32 μg/mL while the MIC values of reference drugs were above 256 μg/mL. Furthermore, the results of drug-combination experiments showed that compounds 12d, 12g, 12j, 12l and 12m had synergistic or additive effects with fluconazole or polyoxin B. The results of sorbitol protection experiment and the experiment of antifungal activity against micafungin-resistant fungi further demonstrated that these compounds target chitin synthase. The result of cytotoxicity assay showed that compound 12g had low toxicity toward human lung cancer A549 cells and the ADME analysis in silico displayed that compound 12g possessed promising pharmacokinetic properties. The molecular docking indicated that compound 12g formed multiple hydrogen bond interactions binding to chitin synthase, which might be conductive to increasing the binding affinity and inhibiting the activity of chitin synthase. The above results indicated that the designed compounds were chitin synthase inhibitors with selectivity and broad-spectrum antifungal activity and could be act as the lead compounds against drug-resistant fungi.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24087633.

Abstract
A new route for the synthesis of quinazolin-2,4(1H,3H)-diones and thieno [2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones substituted by pyridyl/quinolinyl moiety in position 3 has been developed. The proposed method concluded in an annulation of substituted anthranilic esters or 2-aminothiophene-3-carboxylates with 1,1-dimethyl-3-(pyridin-2-yl) ureas. The process consists of the formation of N-aryl-N'-pyridyl ureas followed by their cyclocondensation into the corresponding fused heterocycles. The reaction does not require the use of metal catalysts and proceeds with moderate to good yields (up to 89%). The scope of the method is more than 30 examples, including compounds with both electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups, as well as diverse functionalities. At the same time, strong electron-acceptor substituents in the pyridine ring of the starting ureas reduce the product yield or even prevent the cyclocondensation step. The reaction can be easily scaled to gram quantities.

Design and synthesis of a new series of hybrids of functionalised N 1-[(1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl]quinazoline-2,4-dione with antiviral activity against Respiratory Syncytial Virus. Antiviral Res 2023; 209:105518. [PMID: 36587900 DOI: 10.1016/j.antiviral.2022.105518] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2022] [Revised: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 12/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
In this study, a series of 48 hybrids of the functionalised 1-[(1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-yl)methyl]quinazoline-2,4-dione 17-22 were synthesised and evaluated for potential antiviral activity. The new hybrids were designed to contain a diethoxyphosphoryl group connected to the triazole moiety via ethylene or propylene linker, and in which the benzyl or benzoyl function is substituted at N3 in the quinazoline-2,4-dione moiety. The Cu(I)-catalyzed Hüisgen dipolar cycloaddition of azidophosphonates 23 and 24 with the respective N1-propargylquinazoline-2,4-diones 26aa-26ag, 26ba-26bg, 27aa-27ad and 27ba-27bd was applied for the syntheses of the designed compounds. All final hybrids 17-22 and N3-functionalised N1-propargylquinazoline-2,4-diones 26 and 27 were subsequently evaluated for their antiviral activity toward a broad range of DNA and RNA viruses. Importantly, hybrids 19be-19bg and 20be-20bg showed profound antiviral activities against Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) with EC50 values in the lower micromolar range, with activity against viral strains of both subtypes (RSV A and B). In addition, several compounds also exerted some weak antiviral activity against varicella zoster virus. Finally, 19 ag was the only compound that showed antiviral potency against human cytomegalovirus, although with rather weak inhibitory activity. Notably, none of the tested compounds was cytotoxic toward uninfected cell lines used for the antiviral assays at a concentration up to 100 μM, returning interesting therapeutic indices for respiratory syncytial virus.

Abstract
Dipolar cycloaddition of the N-substituted C-(diethoxyphosphonyl)nitrones with N3-allyl-N1-benzylquinazoline-2,4-diones produced mixtures of diastereoisomeric 3-(diethoxyphosphonyl)isoxazolidines with a N1-benzylquinazoline-2,4-dione unit at C5. The obtained compounds were assessed for antiviral and antibacterial activities. Several compounds showed moderate inhibitory activities against VZV with EC50 values in the range of 12.63-58.48 µM. A mixture of isoxazolidines cis-20c/trans-20c (6:94) was found to be the most active against B. cereus PCM 1948, showing an MIC value 0.625 mg/mL, and also was not mutagenic up to this concentration.

Abstract
Nitrogen heterocyclic rings have participated to constitute most of the drugs and several pharmacologically related compounds. The existence of such hetero atoms/groups in heterocyclic systems privileged specificities in their biological objectives. Particularly, quinazoline and triazole are biologically imperative platforms known to be linked with various pharmacological activities. Some of the prominent pharmacological responses ascribed to these systems are analgesic, antiinflammatory, anticonvulsant, hypnotic, antihistaminic, antihypertensive, anticancer, antimicrobial, antitubercular, antiviral and antimalarial activities. This diversity in the pharmacological outputs for both triazole and quinazoline systems has encouraged the medicinal chemistry researchers to create several chemical routes aiming at the incorporation of two rings in one molecule named triazoloquinazoline system. This system has shown multiple potential activities against numerous targets. Correlation the specific structural features of triazoloquinazoline system with its pharmacological purposes has successively been achieved by performing several pharmacological examinations and structure-activity relationship studies. The development of triazoloquinazoline derivatives and the understanding of their pharmacological targets offer opportunities for novel therapeutics. This review mainly emphases on the medicinal chemistry aspects of triazoloquinazolines including synthesis, reactivity, biological activity and structure activity relationship studies (SARs). Moreover, this review collates literature reported by researchers on triazoquinazolines and provides detailed attention on their analogs pharmacological activities in the perspective of drug development and discovery.

Abstract
A series of novel 2-oxo-(1-oxo-2,8-diazaspiro[4.5]decane-8-yl)ethylpiperidine carboxamide derivatives were designed, synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS spectroscopy. All eighteen newly prepared compounds were evaluated for their inhibition against chitin synthase (CHS) and antifungal activities in vitro. The enzyme assay revealed that compound 5h showed excellent inhibitory activity against CHS with IC50 value of 0.10 mM, and the compounds 5b, 5d and 5q showed good inhibition against chitin synthase with IC50 values of 0.13 mM, 0.18 mM and 0.15 mM, respectively, while IC50 value of ployoxin B was 0.08 mM. Meanwhile, the others of these compounds exhibited moderate inhibition potency against chitin synthase. The antifungal assay showed compound 5h had excellent antifungal activity compared with the control drugs fluconazole and polyoxin B against these tested strains including C. albicans, A. fumigatus, C. neoformans and A. flavus. Its excellent antifungal activity was consistent with its excellent chitin synthase inhibition. Compound 5k and 5l against C. albicans were comparable with fluconazole, and they showed strong antifungal potency against A. flavus with MIC values of 0.07 mmol/L and 0.13 mmol/L respectively. Compound 5m had similar MIC value against A. fumigatus to fluconazole. The phenomenon that compounds 5b, 5d and 5q that showed good enzymatic inhibition didn't exert good antifungal activity, while compounds 5k, 5l and 5m that showed moderate chitin synthase inhibition exhibited excellent antifungal activity was discussed. Furthermore, the trial of drug combination showed that compounds had synergistic effects or additive effects with fluconazole against tested fungi which also verified that these designed compounds targeted different targets from that of fluconazole. Additionally, the antibacterial trial showed that all synthesized compounds had little potency against tested bacteria strains. These results indicated that the designed compounds were potential chitin synthase inhibitors and had selectively antifungal activities.

Abstract
In recent decades, there has been a significant increase in the number of fungal diseases. This is due to a wide spectrum of action, immunosuppressants and other group drugs. In terms of frequency, rapid spread and globality, fungal infections are approaching acute respiratory infections. Antimycotics are medicinal substances endorsed with fungicidal or fungistatic properties. For the treatment of fungal diseases, several groups of compounds are used that differ in their origin (natural or synthetic), molecular targets and mechanism of action, antifungal effect (fungicidal or fungistatic), indications for use (local or systemic infections), and methods of administration (parenteral, oral, outdoor). Several efforts have been made by various medicinal chemists around the world for the development of antifungal drugs with high efficacy with the least toxicity and maximum selectivity in the area of antifungal chemotherapy. The pharmacokinetic properties of the new antimycotics are also important: the ability to penetrate biological barriers, be absorbed and distributed in tissues and organs, get accumulated in tissues affected by micromycetes, undergo drug metabolism in the intestinal microflora and human organs, and in the kinetics of excretion from the body. There are several ways to search for new effective antimycotics: - Obtaining new derivatives of the already used classes of antimycotics with improved activity properties. - Screening of new chemical classes of synthetic antimycotic compounds. - Screening of natural compounds. - Identification of new unique molecular targets in the fungal cell. - Development of new compositions and dosage forms with effective delivery vehicles. The methods of informatics, bioinformatics, genomics and proteomics were extensively investigated for the development of new antimycotics. These techniques were employed in finding and identification of new molecular proteins in a fungal cell; in the determination of the selectivity of drugprotein interactions, evaluation of drug-drug interactions and synergism of drugs; determination of the structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies; determination of the molecular design of the most active, selective and safer drugs for the humans, animals and plants. In medical applications, the methods of information analysis and pharmacogenomics allow taking into account the individual phenotype of the patient, the level of expression of the targets of antifungal drugs when choosing antifungal agents and their dosage. This review article incorporates some of the most significant studies covering the basic structures and approaches for the synthesis of antifungal drugs and the directions for their further development.

Abstract
Synthesis of novel 4(3H)-quinazolinonyl aminopyrimidine derivatives has been achieved via quinazolinonyl enones which in turn were obtained from 2-acyl-4(3H)-quinazolinone. They have been assayed for biofilm inhibition against Gram-positive (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)) and Gram-negative bacteria (Acinetobacter baumannii). The analogues with 2,4,6-trimethoxy phenyl, 4-methylthio phenyl, and 3-bromo phenyl substituents (5h, 5j & 5k) have been shown to inhibit biofilm formation efficiently in MRSA with IC50 values of 20.7-22.4 μM). The analogues 5h and 5j have demonstrated low toxicity in human cells in vitro and can be investigated further as leads.

Abstract
Due to the limit of available treatments and the emergence of drug resistance in the clinic, invasive fungal infections are an intractable problem with high morbidity and mortality. The cell wall, as a fungi-specific structure, is an appealing target for the discovery and development of novel and low-toxic antifungal agents. In an attempt to accelerate the discovery of novel cell wall targeted drugs, this Perspective will provide a comprehensive review of the progress made to date on the development of fungal cell wall inhibitors. Specifically, this review will focus on the targets, discovery process, chemical structures, antifungal activities, and structure-activity relationships. Although two types of cell wall antifungal agents are clinically available or in clinical trials, it is still a long way for the other cell wall targeted inhibitors to be translated into clinical applications. Future efforts should be focused on the identification of inhibitors against novel conserved cell wall targets.

Abstract
Due to the pharmacological activities of quinazoline and quinazolinone scaffolds, it has aroused great interest in medicinal chemists for the development of new drugs or drug candidates. The pharmacological activities of quinazoline and its related scaffolds include anti-cancer, anti-microbial, anti-convulsant, and antihyperlipidaemia. Recently, molecular hybridization technology is used for the development of hybrid analogues with improved potency by combining two or more pharmacophores of bioactive scaffolds. The molecular hybridization of various biologically active pharmacophores with quinazoline derivatives resulted in lead compounds with multi-faceted biological activity wherein specific as well as multiple targets were involved. The present review summarizes the advances in lead compounds of quinazoline hybrids and their related heterocycles in medicinal chemistry. Moreover, the review also helps to intensify the drug development process by providing an understanding of the potential role of these hybridized pharmacophoric features in exhibiting various pharmacological activities. Recent advances in quinazoline/quinazolinone hybrid heterocycles in medicinal chemistry and their pharmacological diversification.![]()

Abstract
Herein, we embarked on a structural optimization campaign aiming at the discovery of novel anticancer agents with our previously reported XL-6f as a lead compound. A library of 23 compounds has been synthesized based on the highly conserved active site of VEGFR-2. Several title compounds exhibited selective inhibitory activities against VEGFR-2, which also displayed selective anti-proliferation potency against HepG2 cell. All synthesized compounds were evaluated for anti-angiogenesis capability. Compound 7o showed the most potent anti-angiogenesis ability, the efficient cytotoxic activities (in vitro against HUVEC and HepG2 cell lines with IC50 values of 0.58 and 0.23 µM, respectively). The molecular docking analysis revealed 7o is a Type-II inhibitor of VEGFR-2 kinase. In general, these results indicated these arylamide-5-anilinoquinazoline-8-nitro derivatives are promising inhibitors of VEGFR-2 for the potential treatment of anti-angiogenesis.

Abstract
Emergence of drug resistance has created unmet medical need for the development of new classes of antibiotics. Discovery of new antibacterial agents with new mode of action remains a high priority universally. 4(3H)-quinazolinone, a fused nitrogen heterocyclic compound has emerged as a biologically privileged structure, possessing a wide range of biological properties viz. anticancer, antibacterial, antitubercular, antifungal, anti-HIV, anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. Promising antibacterial properties of quinazolinones have enthused the medicinal chemists to explore and develop this fused heterocyclic system for new antibacterial agents. Utilization of quinazolinone core for the design and synthesis of new antibacterial agents has recently gained momentum. This review aims to provide an overview of the structures and antibacterial activity of various 4(3H)-quinazolinone derivatives covering various aspects of in vitro and in vivo pharmacological activities and structure activity relationships (SARs).

Abstract
Chalcones containing tertiary amine side-chains have potent activity as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors. However, the effects of the location of the tertiary amine groups as well as of other groups on AChE and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity have not been reported. Here, we report the synthesis and testing of 36 new coumarin-chalcone hybrids (5d-7j, 9d-11f, 12k-13m) against AChE and BChE. The nature and position of the chalcone substituents had major effects on inhibitory activity as well as selectivity for AChE over BChE. Compounds with para-substituted chalcone fragments in which the substituents were choline-like had potent activity against AChE and poor activity against BChE, while ortho-substituted analogs exhibited an opposite effect. Replacement of the terminal amine groups by amide, alkyl or alkenyl groups abrogated activity. Compound 5e showed potent inhibitory activity [Formula: see text]) and good selectivity for AChE over BChE (ratio 27.4), and a kinetic study showed that 5e exhibited mixed-type inhibition against AChE. Computational docking results indicate that 5e binds to Trp 279, Tyr334 and Trp 84 in AChE, but only to Trp 82 in BChE. Overall, the results show that coumarin-chalcone hybrids with choline-like side-chains have promising activity and selectivity against AChE and be promising therapeutic leads for Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
A series of novel (E)-2-(4-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)styryl)-4-(alkyl/arylmethyleneoxy)quinazoline derivatives (4a-4s) were synthesized in good to excellent yields, and their structures were fully characterized by [Formula: see text] NMR, [Formula: see text] NMR, HRMS and IR spectra. The structure of compound 4b was further confirmed via single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The bioassay results indicated that compounds 4s, 4q and 4n inhibit phytopathogenic bacterium Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac) more potently than commercial bactericide bismerthiazol. However, not a single compound can effectively inhibit three pathogenic fungi tested at 50 [Formula: see text].

Abstract
An efficient one-pot, three-component synthesis of quinazolinone derivatives containing 3-acrylamino motif was carried out using CeO2 nanoparticles as catalyst. Thirty-nine synthesized compounds were obtained with satisfied yield and elucidated by spectroscopic analysis. Four phytopathogenic fungi were chosen to test the antifungal activities by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method. Compounds 4ag, 4bb, 4bc showed broad antifungal activities against at least three fungi, and dramatic effects of substituents on the activities were observed. Docking studies were established to explore the potential antifungal mechanism of quinazolinone derivatives as the chitinase inhibitors, and also verified the importance of the amide moiety.

Abstract
Efficient synthetic routes for the preparation of secondary and tertiary 1,2,3-triazoloamide derivatives were developed. A secondary α-1,2,3-triazoloamide library was constructed and expanded by a previously developed solid-phase synthetic route and a tertiary 1,2,3-triazoloamide library was constructed by a parallel solution-phase synthetic route. The synthetic routes rely on amide formation with secondary amines and chloro-acid chlorides; SN2 reaction with sodium azide; and the selective [3 + 2] Hüisgen cycloaddition with appropriate terminal alkynes. The target secondary and tertiary 1,2,3-triazoloamide derivatives were obtained with three-diversity points in excellent overall yields and purities using the reported solid- and solution-phase synthetic routes, respectively.

Abstract
The presence of N-heterocycles as an essential structural motif in a variety of biologically active substances has stimulated the development of new strategies and technologies for their synthesis. Among the various N-heterocyclic scaffolds, quinazolines and quinazolinones form a privileged class of compounds with their diverse spectrum of therapeutic potential. The easy generation of complex molecular diversity through broadly applicable, cost-effective, practical and sustainable synthetic methods in a straightforward fashion along with the importance of these motifs in medicinal chemistry, received significant attention from researchers engaged in drug design and heterocyclic methodology development. In this perspective, the current review article is an effort to recapitulate recent developments in the eco-friendly and green procedures for the construction of highly challenging and potentially bioactive quinazoline and quinazolinone compounds in order to help medicinal chemists in designing and synthesizing novel and potent compounds for the treatment of different disorders. The key mechanistic insights for the synthesis of these heterocycles along with potential applications and manipulations of the products have also been conferred. This article also aims to highlight the promising future directions for the easy access to these frameworks in addition to the identification of more potent and specific products for numerous biological targets.
