Abstract

Ethyl 2-((4-oxo-3-phenyl-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2-yl)thio)acetate (3) which was synthesized starting from anthranilic acid (1) via 2-thioxo-3-phenylquinazolin-4(3H)-one (2) reacted with hydrazine hydrate to afford 2-((4-oxo-3-phenyl-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2-yl)thio)acetohydrazide (4). Reaction of (4) with thiocarbonyl-bis-thioglycolic acid gave a new compound nameN-(4-oxo-2-thioxothiazolidin-3-yl)-2-((4-oxo-3-phenyl-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2-yl)thio)acetamide (5). Knoevenagel condensation of (5) with appropriate aldehydes gave fourteen (Z)-N-(5-arylidene-4-oxo-2-thioxothiazolidin-3-yl)-2-((4-oxo-3-phenyl-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2-yl)thio)acetamide compounds (6a–o) with moderate yield. The chemical structure of the compounds was elucidated on the basis of IR,1H-NMR,13C-NMR, and HR-MS spectral data. The 5-arylidene-2-thioxothiazolidinone compounds exhibited mild-to-moderate cytotoxic activity against both K562 (chronic myelogenous leukemia) cells and MCF7 (breast cancer) cells.
