A series of 4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-2-oxo-butyl-quinazolinones were designed and synthesized based on the structure of febrifugine. The structures of the new compounds were confirmed by 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, IR spectra and HRMS. The biological activity test results indicated that they exhibited anticoccidial activities against Eimeria tenella in the chicken diet with a dose of 9 mg/kg. Compared with halofuginone, these compounds have the advantages of shorter synthetic routes and lower cost.
