Abstract

The synthesis of some new 3-substituted quinazolin-4(3 H)-ones and 3,4-dihydro-quinazolin-2(1 H)-one derivatives and their biological evaluation as antitumor agents using the National Cancer Institute (NCI), disease oriented antitumor screening protocol are investigated. Compounds 2-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-oxo-ethylthio]-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)quinazolin-4(3 H)-one ( 3b), and 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-oxo-ethylthio]quinazolin-4(3 H)-one ( 3d), are broad-spectrum antitumors showing effectiveness toward numerous cell lines that belong to different tumor subpanels, Compounds 3b, 3d are the most active members in this study. Those two quinazoline analogues could be considered as useful templates for future development to obtain more potent antitumor agent(s).
