Abstract
In spite of reported study on MtbCM inhibitory potential of 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones the evaluation of quinazolin-4(1H)-ones for the same purpose remained unexplored. This prompted us to synthesize and evaluate quinazolin-4(1H)-ones against MtbCM, a pharmacological target for the identification of potential anti-tubercular agents. During our synthesis effort we observed that the use of excess of Wang-OSO3H (20% w/w) could afford quinazolin-4(1H)-ones as the only product via the corresponding 2,3-dihydro derivatives. Thus an eco-friendly synthesis of 2-substituted quinazolin-4(1H)-ones was achieved via the reaction of 2-aminobenzamide with aldehydes in the presence of Wang-OSO3H using water as the reaction media. While, recovery and reusability of Wang-OSO3H was demonstrated, the milder conditions, shorter reaction time, metal and additional oxidant-free reaction are the other features of the current methodology. Having synthesized a range of desired products in good to excellent (> 80%) yield the in vitro testing of these compounds was performed when three of them showed > 50% inhibition at 30 µM. According to the SAR analysis, the nature and type of C-2 substituent played a key role in the inhibition of MtbCM. In general, an aryl or heteroaryl ring was favored over the alkyl moiety at the C-2 position. Among the aryl or heteroaryl group, the suitably substituted benzene ring or a 2-thienyl ring was preferred. The in silico docking of these compounds into MtbCM showed their interactions with some of the critical residues such as ARG49, ARG134, LYS60, GLU109 and GLN76 and their binding orientation similar to TSA. With the IC50 value 15.16 ± 0.58, 14.47 ± 0.91 and 11.43 ± 0.25 µM against MtbCM, the compound 3a, 3b and 3c was also predicted to show favorable ADME or pharmacokinetic properties.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
