A newly designed benzothiazolo-quinazolone series was synthesized by an aromatic amine and potassium thiocyanate in the presence of bromine in glacial acetic acid, and the final product was obtained by subsequent reaction with 5-arylamido/imidoalkyl-2-chlorobenzoic acid in the presence of potassium carbonate and further cyclization with sulphuric acid. A preliminary radiolabelling study with technetium shows a promising potential for further in vivo evaluation. Anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-tumor activities were evaluated for biological properties. Lead compounds are able to block epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in human breast adenocarcinoma cell line, MCF-7.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
