A series of 2-Substituted (1,3,4) thiadiazolo quinazolines were synthesized by the cyclocondensation of 3-amino-2-mercapto quinazolin-4(3H)-ones with various one-carbon donors and screened for their CNS activities (analgesic, anti-inflammatory, sedative-hypnotic and anticonvulsant). Compound III showed good CNS depressant activity, and it is comparable with the reference standard diazepam. While all the test compounds offered significant protection against strychnine-induced and hypoxic induced convulsion, compound III exhibited equivalent activity with the standard diazepam at the dose tested, and it was found to be significant when compared to control.
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.
