Synthesis, Cytotoxic, and Antibacterial Evaluation of Quinazolinone Derivatives with Substituted Amino Moiety

Abstract

A series of novel quinazolinone derivatives containing a substituted amino moiety were synthesized, evaluated for their cytotoxic and antibacterial activities. The results of MTT assay showed that all synthesized target compounds 5A - 5O showed potent cytotoxicity against SGC-7901 (IC , 0.72 - 1.41 μm). Moreover, the compounds 5D, 5I, and 5K showed better selectivity as compared with positive controls pemetrexed and MTX due to weak cytotoxicity against normal tissue cell line HUVSMC. Among synthesized compounds, the compounds 5E, 5J, 5L, and 5N showed broad-spectrum cytotoxic activities against at least four cancer cell lines at a micromolar level. The results of antibacteria evaluation revealed that all synthesized compounds showed good to moderate antibacterial activities against Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli. Among them, the MIC values of the compounds 5C, 5F, and 5M were 0.31 μg/mL.

Four Natural Compounds Separated from Folium Isatidis: Crystal Structures and Antibacterial Activity

“…The MTT assay has the advantages of simplicity, speed, sensitivity and stability, it can accurately reflect the relative number of living cells, which has been widely used for the detection of biological activity factors, anticancer drug screening and antibacterial activity . The antibacterial activities of the four natural compounds were tested by the MTT assay.…”

A comprehensive review of recent advances in the biological activities of quinazolines

“…Zhan et al (2018) developed a series of 2‐methyl quinazolinones ( 25 , Figure 3) with potential antibacterial activity. Biological testing demonstrated that all the synthesized molecules had mild to moderate antibacterial action versus E. coli , with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 0.31 g/ml.…”

Design, Synthesis, Antibacterial Activity, Antiviral Activity, and Mechanism of Myricetin Derivatives Containing a Quinazolinone Moiety

“…Quinazolinone is an important class of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds, whose skeleton is composed of benzene and pyrimidine, and widely exists in a variety of natural alkaloids, such as luotonin F and febrifugine (Figure ). , A number of studies have shown that quinazolinone derivatives have anticancer, antioxidant, antibacterial, antitumor, and other pharmacological activities. In recent years, quinazolinones have gradually attracted the attention of scholars in the creation of new pesticides.…”
