Abstract
Functionalized hydrogels, with their unique and adaptable structures, have attracted significant attention in materials and biomaterials research. Fluorescent hydrogels are particularly noteworthy for their sensing capabilities and ability to mimic cellular matrices, facilitating cell infiltration and tracking of drug delivery. Structural elucidation of hydrogels is crucial for understanding their responses to stimuli such as the pH, temperature, and solvents. This study developed a fluorescent hydrogel by functionalizing chitosan with p-cresol-based quinazolinone aldehyde. Confocal microscopy revealed the hydrogel's intriguing fluorogenic properties. The hydrogel exhibited enhanced fluorescence and a tunable network morphology, influenced by the THF-water ratio. The study investigated the control of gel network reformation in different media and analyzed the fluorescence responses and structural changes of the sugar backbone and fluorophore. Proper selection of mixed solvents is essential for optimizing the hydrogel as a fluorescence probe for bioimaging. This hydrogel demonstrated greater swelling properties, making it highly suitable for drug delivery applications.

Abstract
Quinazoline and quinazolinone derivatives piqued medicinal chemistry interest in developing novel drug candidates owing to their pharmacological potential. They are important chemicals for the synthesis of a variety of physiologically significant and pharmacologically useful molecules. Quinazoline and quinazolinone derivatives have anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, anticonvulsant, antiviral, and antimicrobial potential. The increased understanding of quinazoline and quinazolinone derivatives in biological activities provides opportunities for new medicinal products. The present review focuses on novel advances in the synthesis of these important scaffolds and other medicinal aspects involving drug design, structure-activity relationship, and action mechanisms of quinazoline and quinazolinone derivatives to help in the development of new quinazoline and quinazolinone derivatives.

Abstract
We generated novel elven 1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalimides and tetrahydroquinazoline derivatives from 1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride (1) in response to our interest in using the anhydrides to produce heterocyclic nitrogen compounds. The elemental and spectral analyses of the produced compounds validated the recommended configurations and MOE 2014.09 (Molecular Operating Environment) computations were used to perform their in silico analysis. The synthesized compounds have been analyzed and put through various experiments, including in vitro and in silico methods to assess their biological activity against Escherichia coli Penicillin-Binding Protein 3 (PBP3) and Staphylococcus aureus Penicillin-Binding Protein 2 (PBP2), among these compounds showing promising data as antibacterial drugs.

Abstract
In this study, new hybrids of quinazolinone-1,2,3-triazole-acetamide were designed, synthesized, and screened for their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The results obtained from the in vitro screening indicated that all analogs exhibited significant inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase (IC50 values ranging from 4.8-140.2 μM) in comparison to acarbose (IC50 = 750.0 μM). The limited structure-activity relationships suggested the variation in the inhibitory activities of the compounds affected by different substitutions on the aryl moiety. The enzyme kinetic studies of the most potent compound 9c, revealed that it inhibited α-glucosidase in a competitive mode with a K i value of 4.8 μM. In addition, molecular docking studies investigated the structural perturbation and behavior of all derivatives inside the α-glucosidase active site. Next, molecular dynamic simulations of the most potent compound 9c, were performed to study the behavior of the 9c-complex during the time. The results showed that these compounds can be considered as potential antidiabetic agents.
