Lithiation of 3-(Acylamino)-2-unsubstituted-, 3-(Acylamino)-2-ethyl-, and 3-(Acylamino)-2-propyl-4(3H)-quinazolinones: Convenient Syntheses of More Complex Quinazolinones(1).

3-(Pivaloylamino)- and 3-(acetylamino)-4(3H)-quinazolinones react with alkyllithium reagents to give 1,2-addition products in very good yields. Lithiation takes place with LDA and is regioselective at position 2. The lithium reagents thus obtained react with a variety of electrophiles to give the corresponding substituted derivatives in very good yields. Reactions of the lithium reagents with iodine give oxidatively dimerized cyclic structures. 3-(Pivaloylamino)- and 3-(acetylamino)-2-ethyl-4(3H)-quinazolinones and 3-(pivaloylamino)- and 3-(acetylamino)-2-propyl-4(3H)-quinazolinones are lithiated at the benzylic position with LDA. The lithium reagents so produced also react with a variety of electrophiles to give the corresponding 2-substituted-4(3H)-quinazolinone derivatives in very good yields. However, lithiation of 3-(acylamino)-2-(1-methylethyl)-4(3H)-quinazolinones was unsuccessful, as were lithiations of compounds having a diacetylamino group at position 3. The amide groups have been cleaved in good yield under basic or acidic conditions from some of the products to provide access to the free amino compounds.

Kinetic studies of 2-(2'-Haloethyl) and 2-ethenyl substituted quinazolinone alkylating agents. Acid-catalyzed dehydrohalogenation and alkylation involving a quinazolinone prototropic tautomer.

The mechanism of halide elimination from 2-haloethyl-5,8-dihydroxyquinazolin-4(3H)-ones was studied in aqueous buffer by means of a pH-rate profile, buffer dilution studies, isotopic labeling, and kinetic isotope effects. From the results of these studies, it is apparent that a quinazolinone tautomer, arising from a prototropic shift of the C(l') proton to the N(1) position, is formed in the rate determining step of elimination. Monobasic phosphate acts as a bifunctional catalyst for the tautomerism. The halide then eliminates from the tautomer to afford the alkene derivative. Conversely, hydroxyethyl mercaptide adds to the alkene to afford the tautomer. The significance of these studies lies in the discovery of a prototropic tautomer of quinazolinone, which is reversibly formed in aqueous buffer under mild conditions, and in the discovery of alkylation chemistry useful in the design of quinazolinone-based enzyme inhibitors.

Studies on 4(1H)-quinazolinones. 5. Synthesis and antiinflammatory activity of 4(1H)-quinazolinone derivatives.

A number of new 4(1H)-quinazolinones were synthesized and evaluated in the carrageenin-induced paw edema test. Most of the compounds were obtained by the cyclization of the appropriately substituted anthranilamides with acid chlorides, followed by further chemical transformation. Structure-activity data suggest that 2-isopropyl-1-phenyl-, 2-cyclopropyl-1-phenyl-, and 1-isopropyl-2-phenyl-4(1H)-quinazolinones afford optimal potency and the presence of a halogen atom is preferred for activity. Adrenalectomy does not affect the antiinflammatory test results. The best result taking into account both efficacy and side effects was displayed by 1-isopropyl-(2-fluorophenyl)-4-(1H)-quinazolinone (50).

[Quinazolinones. 16. Synthesis and in vitro pharmacology of 2-aryl-1- ([3-(imidazol-4-yl)propyl]-guanidinylalkyl)-2,3-dihydro-4(1H)- quinazolinones].

A series of 2-aryl-1- ([3-(imidazol-4-yl)propyl]guanidinylalkyl)-2,3-dihydro-4(1H)- quinazolinones were prepared starting with appropriate aminoalkyl-quinazolinones. The substances proved to be moderate H1-antagonists at the isolated guinea-pig ileum as well as H2-agonists, maximally achieving 1.6 times the activity of histamine at the isolated guinea-pig right atrium. Compounds with a three-membered carbon chain connecting the bicyclus and the guanidine system are up to 100 times more active at the atrium (chronotropic effect) than the corresponding lower homologues.

[Quinazolinones. 18. Synthesis and H1/H2-antihistaminic action of omega-[2-aryl-2,3-dihydro-4(1H)-quinazolinone-1-yl]alkyl substituted ureas and cyanoguanidines].

A series of (2-aryl-2,3-dihydro-4(1H)-quinazolinon-1-yl)alkyl-substituted cyanoguanidines and ureas with histamine, cimetidine or roxatidine partial structure was prepared and tested for H1- and H2-antagonism at the isolated ileum and the isolated right atrium of the guinea-pig. All compounds investigated were only very weak H1-antagonists, whereas the 3-[3-(1-piperidinyl-methyl)phenoxy]propyl-cyanoguanidines and -ureas were more potent H2-antagonists than cimetidine, maximally achieving about ranitidine's potency.

The antihyperlipidemic activities of 4(3H) quinazolinone and two halogenated derivatives in rats.

In the present study, the effects of subchronic treatments (4 weeks) of hypercholesterolemic (single) and diabetic-hypercholesterolemic (combined) rats with 4 (3H) quinazolinone and 2 halogenated derivatives (6, 8-dibromo-2-methy-4 (3H) quinazolinone and 6-iodo-2-methyl-4(3H) quinazolinone) at a sublethal dose level (2 mg/Kg) on cholesterol metabolism were investigated. Bezafibrate, a hypolipidemic drug was used as a reference compound for data comparison. Treatment of rats with single and combined hypercholesterolemia with quinazolinone compounds gave rise to highly significant reductions in serum total cholesterol and cholesterol ester levels, whereas serum triacylglycerol level was significantly reduced only after treatment with halogen-substituted quinazolinones in single hyper-cholesterolemia, compared to the control group. The effects of different quinazolinones and bezafibrate on reduction of serum LDL-C level were comparable in single hypercholesterolemia but significantly different in combined hypercholesterolemia. Results obtained from this study suggest that the antihyperlipidemic effect of quinazolinone compounds was brought about by inhibition of dietary cholesterol absorption and / or intestinal ACAT activity.
