Synthesis of ten 3-(arylideneamino)-2-phenylquinazoline-4(3H)-ones is reported. All the compounds contained a common phenyl group at the 2-position, while the substituents on the arylideneamino group were varied. The compounds were investigated for their antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus 6571 and Bacillus subtilis) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli K12 and Shigella dysenteriae 6) using a turbidometric assay method. It was found that the incorporation of the 3-arylideneamino substituent enhanced the anti-bacterial activity of the quinazolone system. The preliminary QSAR studies were done using some computer derived property descriptors, calculated values of partition coefficients as well as usual Hammett's sigma constants and the substituent's molar refractivity.

In an organic chemistry, largest families of organic compounds are belongs in the heterocyclic compounds. In our daily life important of heterocyclic compounds are of very essential. It has broad range of application in medicinal chemistry and in agrochemicals products. Applications are also found in as developers, as corrosion inhibitors, sanitizers, as copolymers, antioxidants, dye stuff. There is always an important thing about an efficient methodology for synthesizing of new heterocycles moiety. Now in literature survey reveals that more than 85-95% new drugs containing heterocycles which has bright scientific insight in the biological system. In this review work, I mainly focus such type of heterocycle and their families which has main utility in medicinal chemistry. In the recent past developments of imidazole-based compounds in the wide range of medicinal chemistry such as antihypertensive, antineuropathic, antitubercular, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiobesity, antiparasitic, antifungal, antihistaminic, anticancer, and other potential medicinal agents with their broad applications in pathology and diagnostics. Derivatives of imidazole have placed a unique position in the medicinal chemistry field. The involvement of the imidazole scaffold is a key of synthetic strategy in the drug discovery system. The imidazole moiety is a part of several important naturally occurring products, including histamine, purine, nucleic acid and histidine. It is expected that this brief review could be attractive for new thoughts from academia and pharmaceutical industries to designs of more biologically active and non-toxic imidazole-based drugs. The aims of this review work to the reported imidazole derivatives with pharmaceuticals activity during the past years.

Background Lagerstroemia speciosa (L.) Pers. has medicinal importance. Bioactive phytochemicals isolated from different parts of L. speciosa, have revealed hypoglycemic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and hepato protective properties. Despite one report from Philippines detailing the use of L. speciosa as curative for fever and as well as diuretic, there is no experimental evidence about the hepatoprotective activity of the flower extracts.MethodsSeveral spectroscopic methods, including GC–MS, were used to characterize phytochemicals present in the petal extract of L. speciosa. Ethanol extract of petals was evaluated for anti-oxidant and free radical scavenging properties by using methods related to hydrogen atom transfer, single electron transfer, reducing power, and metal chelation. This study has also revealed the in vitro antioxidant and in vivo hepatoprotective properties of petal extract against carbon tetra chloride (CCl4)-induced liver toxicity in Swiss albino mice. Hepatoprotection in CCl4 -intoxicated mice was studied with the aid of histology and different enzymatic and non-enzymatic markers of liver damage. Cytotoxicity tests were done using murein spleenocytes and cancareous cell lines, MCF7 and HepG2.ResultGCMS of the extract has revealed the presence of several potential antioxidant compounds, of them γ-Sitosterol and 1,2,3-Benzenetriol (Pyrogallol) were the predominant ones. The antioxidants activities of the flower-extract were significantly higher than curcumin (in terms of Nitric oxide scavenging activity; p = 0.0028) or ascorbic acid (in terms of 2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay; p = 0.0022). The damage control by the flower extract can be attributed to the reduction in lipid peroxidation and restoration of catalase activity. In vitro cytotoxicity tests have shown that the flower extract did not affect growth and survivability of the cell lines. It left beyond doubt that a flower of L. speciosa is a reservoir of antioxidant and hepatoprotective agents capable of reversing the damage inflicted by CCl4-intoxication.ConclusionResults from the present study may be used in developing a potential hepato-protective health drink enriched with antioxidants from Lagerstroemia speciosa (L.)

Fourier transform (FT)-Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra of 3-{[(4-fluorophenyl)methylene]amino}-2-phenylquinazolin-4(3H)-one were recorded and analyzed. The vibrational wavenumbers of the title compound were computed using the B3LYP/6-31G * basis and compared with the experimental data. The prepared compound was identified by NMR and mass spectra. The simultaneous IR and Raman activation of the C=O stretching mode shows a charge transfer interaction through a π -conjugated path. The first hyperpolarizability and infrared intensities are reported. The assignments of the normal modes are done by potential energy distribution (PED) calculations.
