Exploring the hepatoprotective potential of the probiotic Lactiplantibacillus plantarum E1K2R2 and its exopolysaccharide-postbiotic on ibuprofen-induced acute liver injury in rats. NAUNYN-SCHMIEDEBERG'S ARCHIVES OF PHARMACOLOGY 2025; 398:3079-3091.

Abstract
The present study investigates the hepatoprotective effect of a probiotic Lactiplantibacillus plantarum E1K2R2 and its exopolysaccharide (EPS) against ibuprofen-induced acute liver injury, and to explore the involved underlying mechanisms. Hepatotoxicity was induced by administration of a single dose of ibuprofen (200 mg/kg body weight). The Lpb. plantarum E1K2R2 (109 CFU) and its EPS (200 mg/kg bw) were separately used to feed rats for seven consecutive days before ibuprofen administration. Liver toxicity was assessed by monitoring levels of serum liver enzymes, liver relative weight, oxidative stress and inflammatory markers, and through histopathological analysis. The results showed that ibuprofen administration significantly increased (P < 0.05) liver relative weight, elevated levels of alanine-amino transferase (ALT), aspartate-amino transferase (AST), decreased hepatic gluthatione (GSH) and endogenous antioxidant enzymes including, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and increased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, nitric oxide (NO) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) in hepatic tissues. However, pre-treatment with Lpb. plantarum E1K2R2 and its EPS significantly attenuated these toxicity manifestations. Both pre-treatments restored liver weight, normalized transaminase enzyme levels, enhanced the activity of liver antioxidant enzymes (SOD and CAT), increased GSH content, and significantly reduced NO, MPO and MDA levels (P < 0.05), indicating their protective role against oxidative stress and inflammatory response induced by ibuprofen. Furthermore, histopathological analysis confirmed regular liver morphology in rats pre-treated with the probiotic and its EPS. These findings highlight the potential effectiveness of the probiotic Lpb. plantarum E1K2R2 and its EPS in mitigating ibuprofen-induced liver toxicity.

Abstract
Aim: New quinazoline benzenesulfonamide hybrids 4a-n were synthesized to determine their cytotoxicity and effect on the miR-34a/MDM4/p53 apoptotic pathway. Materials & methods: Cytotoxicity against hepatic, breast, lung and colon cancer cell lines was estimated using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Results: Compound 4d was the most potent against HepG2 and MCF-7 cancer cells, with potential apoptotic activity verified by a significant upregulation of miR-34a and p53 gene expressions. The apoptotic effect of 4d was further investigated and showed downregulation of miR-21, VEGF, STAT3 and MDM4 gene expression. Conclusion: The anticancer and apoptotic activities of 4d were enhanced post irradiation by a single dose of 8 Gy γ-radiation. Docking analysis demonstrated a valuable affinity of 4d toward VEGFR2 and MDM4 active sites.

Abstract
Since Alzheimer disease is one of the most prevalent types of dementia with a high mortality and disability rate, so development of multi-target drugs becomes the major strategy for battling AD. This study shows the development of a series of quinazolinone based derivatives as novel, multifunctional anti-AD drugs that exhibit both cholinesterase inhibitoryand anti-inflammatory properties. The preliminary results of the in vitro AChE inhibition activity showed that compounds 4b, 5a, 6f, 6h and 7b were better represented for further evaluation. Furthermore, in-vivo AChE inhibition activity and behavior Morris water maze test against donepezil as reference drug were evaluated. Additionally, hippocampal inflammatory markers; TNF-α, NFĸB, IL-1β and IL-6 and antioxidant markers; SOD and MDA were assessed to evaluate the efficacy of quinazolinone derivatives against AD hallmarks. The results showed that 6f, 6h and 7b have promising anti-acetylcholinesterase, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities thus, have a significant effect in treatment of AD. Moreover, Histopathological examination revealed that 6f, 6h and 7b derivatives have neuroprotective effect against neuronal damage caused by induced scopolamine model in mice. Finally, the binding ability of the synthesized derivatives to the target, AChE was investigated through molecular docking which reflected significant interactions to the target based on their docking binding scores. Hence, the newly designed quinazolinone derivatives possess promising anti-acetylcholinesterase activity and challenging for the management of AD in the future.

Abstract
In this study, new quinazoline-chromene hybrid compounds were synthesized. The cytotoxic effects on cell viability of the hybrid compounds were tested against A549 human lung adenocarcinoma and BEAS-2B healthy bronchial epithelial cell lines in vitro. In addition, the ability of the active compounds to inhibit cell migration was tested. Molecular docking studies were performed to evaluate the ligand-protein interactions, and molecular dynamics simulations were performed to determine the interactions and stability of ligand-protein complexes. In silico absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) studies were conducted to estimate the drug-likeness of the compounds. Compounds 4 (IC50 = 51.2 µM) and 5 (IC50 = 44.2 µM) were found to be the most active agents against A549 cells. They are found to be more selective against A549 cells than the reference drug doxorubicin. They also have the ability to significantly inhibit cell migration. They have the best docking scores against epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) (-11.300 and -11.226 kcal/mol) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) (-10.987 and -11.247 kcal/mol), respectively. In MD simulations, compounds 4 and 5 have strong hydrogen bond interactions above 80% of simulation times and showed a low ligand root mean square deviation (RMSD) around 2 Å. According to the ADME analysis, compounds 4 and 5 exhibit excellent drug-likeness and pharmacokinetic characteristics.

Abstract
Cancer is a large group of diseases that can affect any organ or body tissue due to the abnormal cellular growth with the unknown reasons. Many of the existing chemotherapeutic agents are highly toxic with a low level of selectivity. Additionally, they lead to development of therapeutic resistance. Hence, the development of targeted chemotherapeutic agents with low side effects and high selectivity is required for cancer treatment. Quinazoline is a vital scaffold well-known to be linked with several biological activities. The anticancer activity is one of the prominent biological activities of this scaffold. Several established anticancer quinazolines work by different mechanisms on the various molecular targets. The aim of this review is to present different features of medicinal chemistry as drug design, structure activity relationship, and mode of action of some targeted anticancer quinazoline derivatives. It gives comprehensive attention on the chemotherapeutic activity of quinazolines in the viewpoint of drug discovery and its development. This review provides panoramic view to the medicinal chemists for supporting their efforts to design and synthesize novel quinazolines as targeted chemotherapeutic agents.

Abstract
The development of hybrid molecules with significant human therapeutic properties is one of the main approaches of pharmaceutical research. One of the most important pharmacophores is the quinazolin-4(3H)-one heterocycle moiety, due to its wide range of biological activities. By its derivatization with polyphenolic compounds, in our previous research, it proved to possess a good antiradical activity of ortho-diphenolic derivatives of quinazolin-4(3H)-one. In this study, we developed two new series of compounds, with an additional phenolic group or with a methyl group on the thioacetohydrazone fragment. The methods used to evaluate the activity of the compounds were radical scavenging, reduction of oxidizing reagents and transition metals' ions chelation assays. Quantum descriptors were also calculated in order to evaluate the influence of substituents and their position on the activity of the compounds. The cytotoxic activity was evaluated using normal human foreskin fibroblast cells (BJ) and two cancerous cell lines, lung adenocarcinoma cells (A549) and prostate carcinoma cells (LNCaP). The results obtained for the pyrogallol derivatives showed a high antioxidant activity compared to ascorbic acid and Trolox. All the synthesized compounds displayed a higher cytotoxicity against the cancerous cell types and a high cytocompatibility with the normal cells. The antioxidant activity was deeply influenced by the addition of the third phenolic group in the synthesized molecules.

Abstract
Quinazoline is an essential scaffold, known to be linked with various biological activities. Some of the prominent biological activities of this system are analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-hypertensive, anti-bacterial, anti-diabetic, anti-malarial, sedative–hypnotic, anti-histaminic, anti-cancer, anti-convulsant, anti-tubercular, and anti-viral activities. This diversity in the pharmacological response of the quinazoline system has encouraged medicinal chemists to study and discover this system and its multitude of potential against several biological activities. Many of these studies have successfully investigated the structure–activity relationship to explore the specific structural features of their biological targets. The developing understanding of quinazoline derivatives and their biological targets presents opportunities for the discovery of novel therapeutics. This review represents different aspects of medicinal chemistry, including drug design, structure–activity relationship, and the mode of action of some analgesic and anti-inflammatory quinazoline compounds. It pays comprehensive attention to the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities of quinazolines from the viewpoint of drug discovery and its development.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common lung cancer subtype. Although chemotherapy and targeted therapy are used for the treatment of patients with NSCLC, the survival rate remains very low. Recent findings suggested that aurora kinase A (AKA), a cell cycle regulator, is a potential target for NSCLC therapy. Previously, we reported that a chemical entity of quinazolin-4(3H)-one represents a new template for AKA inhibitors, with antiproliferative activity against cancer cells. A quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivative was further designed and synthesized in order to improve the pharmacokinetic properties and antiproliferation activity against NSCLC cell lines. The derivative, BIQO-19 (Ethyl 6-(4-oxo-3-(pyrimidin-2-ylmethyl)-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-6-yl)imidazo [1,2-a]pyridine-2-carboxylate), exhibited improved solubility and antiproliferative activity in NSCLC cells, including epidermal growth factor receptor–tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI)-resistant NSCLC cells. BIQO-19 effectively inhibited the growth of the EGFR-TKI-resistant H1975 NSCLC cells, with the suppression of activated AKA (p-AKA) expression in these cells. The inhibition of AKA by BIQO-19 significantly induced G2/M phase arrest and subsequently evoked apoptosis in H1975 cells. In addition, the combination of gefitinib and BIQO-19 exhibited synergistic antiproliferative activity in NSCLC cells. These findings suggest the potential of BIQO-19 as a novel therapeutic agent for restoring the sensitivity of gefitinib in EGFR-TKI-resistant NSCLC cells.

Bioguided Isolation of Alkaloids and Pharmacological Effects of the Total Alkaloid Fraction from Aspidosperma pyrifolium Mart. (Apocynaceae). PLANTS 2021; 10:plants10112526. [PMID: 34834889 PMCID: PMC8625095 DOI: 10.3390/plants10112526] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2021] [Revised: 11/16/2021] [Accepted: 11/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
Aspidosperma pyrifolium is used in traditional medicine to treat inflammatory disorders. The aim of the study was to perform phytochemical characterization and evaluate the anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive and acute toxicity effects of the total alkaloid fraction (TAF-Ap) from stem barks. Two monoterpenic indole alkaloids were isolated by high performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) and the structural elucidation was performed using 1D and 2D NMR analysis. As for toxicity, no animals died at 50 mg kg−1 and this concentration presented mild sedation and forced breathing within the first 24 h. The lethal dose capable of killing 50% of the animals (LD50) was estimated to be 160 mg kg−1. In the pharmacological tests, the models used were 1% carrageenan-induced paw edema and peritonitis, 1% formalin-induced nociception and 1% acetic acid-induced abdominal writhing in Swiss mice. The study made it possible to isolate 15-methoxyaspidospermine and 15-methoxypyrifolidine, corroborating the results of pharmacological assays, which showed anti-inflammatory and analgesic potential, especially at 30 mg kg−1 (p < 0.001). Thus, the species was shown to be a promising source of active substances, with special attention paid to its toxicological potential.

Abstract
Responding to the great demand of developing potent NSAIDs with an enhanced safety profile and reasonable selectivity, in the present study novel 4-fluorobenzamide derivatives were synthesized and screened for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities using carrageenan-induced rat paw edema method and acetic acid-induced abdominal writhing in mice, respectively. All the new target compounds except the carbamothioylhydrazine series (5a-d), and the 4-fluorophenyl thiadiazolo derivative 6b showed promising anti-inflammatory activity ranged between 53.43 and 92.36% inhibition of edema (at 3 h) compared to the reference standard indomethacin (65.64%). All the newly synthesized compounds showed potent analgesic activity ranged between 71 and 100 % writhing protection compared to indomethacin (74.06%). Moreover, the most active compounds; the ester hybrids 2a,b, the thioureido quinazolinones 4b,c, and the thiadiazole congener 6a, showed promising gastric tolerability with ulcer index ranged between 0 and 6.60 compared to indomethacin (12.13). The thioureido quinazolinone derivatives 4b,c showed the most potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities with a remarkable gastric tolerability compared to the other derivatives. The 4-chlorophenyl derivative 4b is considered the most promising analogue showing 92.36% inhibition of edema, 100% writhing protection in analgesia testing, and a COX-2 selectivity index of 5.75 which was better than that of indomethacin and celecoxib standards (selectivity index = 0.27 and 4.55; respectively). Moreover, it showed an ulcer index equals zero with gastric acidity and mucin levels comparable to that of the control group indicating its minor effect on gastric cell physiology and its high tolerability. Molecular docking studies predicted the binding pattern of the newly synthesized compounds in COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes confirming the ability of the most active candidates to satisfy the structural features required for binding and rationalized their selectivity based on their docking binding patterns and scores. Furthermore, the newly synthesized 4-fluorobenzamide derivatives possess promising predicted pharmacokinetic properties indicated by calculating their key physicochemical parameters and absorption percentages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The great emergence of multi-resistant bacterial strains and the low renewal of antibiotics molecules are leading human and veterinary medicine to certain therapeutic impasses. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find new therapeutic alternatives including new molecules in the current treatments of infectious diseases. Methionine aminopeptidase (MetAP) is a promising target for developing new antibiotics because it is essential for bacterial survival. OBJECTIVE To screen for potential MetAP inhibitors by in silico virtual screening of the ZINC database and evaluate the best potential lead molecules by in vitro studies. METHODS We have considered 200,000 compounds from the ZINC database for virtual screening with FlexX software to identify potential inhibitors against bacterial MetAP. Nine chemical compounds of the top hits predicted were purchased and evaluated in vitro. The antimicrobial activity of each inhibitor of MetAP was tested by the disc-diffusion assay against one Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and two Gram-negative (Escherichia coli & Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria. Among the studied compounds, compounds ZINC04785369 and ZINC03307916 showed promising antibacterial activity. To further characterize their efficacy, the minimum inhibitory concentration was determined for each compound by the microdilution method which showed significant results. RESULTS These results suggest compounds ZINC04785369 and ZINC03307916 as promising molecules for developing MetAP inhibitors. CONCLUSION Furthermore, they could therefore serve as lead molecules for further chemical modifications to obtain clinically useful antibacterial agents.

Abstract
The present investigation aimed to synthesize quinazoline-4(3H)-one derivatives (B1-10)
and evaluated their antimicrobial activity. The test compounds (B1-10) were obtained by reaction of 2-
phenyl-4H-benzo[d] [1, 3]oxazin-4-one (1) with 4-aminophenol (2) to afford 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-
phenylquinazoline-4(3H)-one (3) which were further reacted with different N-phenylacetamide (4) in
the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate and a catalytic amount of potassium iodide in ethylmethylketone.
The test compounds (B1-10) were characterized by the spectroscopic method and evaluated
for their antimicrobial activity using the cup plate method by measuring the zone of inhibition. Among
the compounds, compound B1, B2, B4, B6, and B8 showed maximum zone of inhibition as compared
to standard drug ciprofloxacin and fluconazole against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli and Aspergillus
niger. Molecular docking was also performed for test compounds to predict their binding affinities
in the target protein and results showed good drug-like properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer is known to be the second significant cause of death worldwide. Chemotherapeutic agents such as platinum-based compounds are frequently used single-handedly or accompanied by additional chemotherapies to treat cancer patients. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral painful neuropathy is seen in around 40% of patients who are treated with platinum-based compounds, including cisplatin. This not only decreases the quality of life of patients but also patients' compliance with cisplatin. OBJECTIVES Nalbuphine, an opioid, is frequently used to treat acute and chronic pain, coupled with cisplatin in cancer patients. However, long term use of nalbuphine induces tolerance to its analgesic effects. We employed the same strategy to induce tolerance in mice. METHODS Here, we investigated analgesic effects of 2-[(pyrrolidin-1-yl) methyl]-1H-benzimidazole (BNZ), a benzimidazole derivative, on nalbuphine-induced tolerance during cisplatin-induced neuropathic pain using hot plate test, tail-flick tests and von Frey filament in mouse models. Furthermore, we investigated the effects of BNZ on the expression of Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α) in the spinal cord. RESULTS The results showed that BNZ reduced tolerance to analgesic effects of nalbuphine and TNF-α expression in mice. CONCLUSION BNZ could be a potential drug candidate for the management of nalbuphine-induced tolerance in cisplatin-induced neuropathic pain.

Abstract
Sleeping sickness, caused by trypanosomes, is a debilitating, neglected tropical disease wherein current treatments suffer from several drawbacks such as toxicity, low activity, and poor pharmacokinetic properties, and hence the need for alternative treatment is apparent. To this effect, we screened in vitro a library of 2-quinazolinone derivatives for antitrypanosomal activity against T.b. brucei and cytotoxicity against HeLa cells. Seven compounds having no overt cytotoxicity against HeLa cells exhibited antitrypanosomal activity in the range of 0.093-45 µM were identified. The activity data suggests that the antitrypanosomal activity of this compound class is amenable to substituents at N1 and C6 positions. Compound 14: having a molecular weight of 238Da, ClogP value of 1 and a total polar surface area of 49 was identified as the most active, exhibiting an IC50 value of 0.093 µM Graphical Abstract.

Abstract
Epilepsy is the most common neurological condition and cause of substantial morbidity and mortality. In the present study, the molecular hybridization tool was adopted to obtain six Schiff bases of isatin and adamantane-1-carbohydrazide (18–23). Then, their anticonvulsant activity was evaluated using pentylenetetrazole- (PTZ-) induced seizure model using phenobarbitone as a positive control. Our findings showed that compounds 18–23 provided significant protection against PTZ-induced seizure, and maximum activities were associated with compound 23. Moreover, all investigated compounds increased the latency of induced convulsion and reduced the duration of epilepsy with compound 23 being the best. Interestingly, most of the synthesized molecules showed reduction in neurological symptoms and severity of the seizure. Molecular docking studies suggest GABA-A receptor as a potential target, and in silico ADME screening revealed that the pharmaceutical properties of compound 23 are within the specified limit. Thus, compound 23 was identified as a promising candidate that warrants further drug discovery processes.

Abstract
Background: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the most commonly used drugs in the world. The widespread use of NSAIDs is associated with a number of serious side effects and complications observed for both selective and non-selective COX inhibitors. Therefore, the search for new COX inhibitors, which along with their effectiveness will have minimal side effects, is a very important and urgent task. Methods: This work studied the synthesis of new 1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine-2-carboxamides based on the reaction of 2-morpholin-4-yl-N-(het)aryl-2-thioxoacetamides with 1,3-diaminopropane. All obtained compounds were tested for anti-inflammatory activity in vitro and in silico conditions. All synthesized 1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine-2-carboxamides were tested for influence on the course of the exudative phase of the inflammatory process based on the carrageenan model of paw edema of laboratory nonlinear heterosexual white rats weighing 220-250 g, using Diclofenac as a reference. Optimization of the geometry of the studied structures and molecular docking was carried out using the ArgusLab 4.0.1 software package. Results: The target products were obtained with yields of 71-98% and easily isolated from the reaction mixture. The best anti-inflammatory activity was found in N-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine-2-carboxamide and in N-[4-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine-2-carboxamide, suppression of the inflammatory response was 46.7 and 46.4%, respectively. The results of molecular docking with COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes were in good agreement with the experimental data, R2 ˃ 0.92 and R2 ˃ 0.83, respectively. Conclusion: The compounds under study were shown to be promising as potential anti-inflammatory agents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Quinazolines and their fused systems are noteworthy in pharmaceutical chemistry due to their wide range of biological activities. METHODS A direct and efficient approach for the synthesis of new series of fused quinazolines with triazole, thiazole, benzimidazole and tetrazole has been preceded via the reaction of quinazoline thione derivative with halogenated compounds or cyclocondensation of arylidene of quinazoline derivative with heterocyclic amines. Also, dibenzo[b,e][1,4]thiazepine derivatives was synthesized through the reaction of 2,6-bis-(2-chloro-benzylidene)-cyclohexanone with o-aminothiophenol. RESULTS The structures of all new synthesized heterocyclic compounds were confirmed and discussed on the bases of spectral data. The utility of the preparation and design of the above mentioned compounds has been shown to be clear in the results of their antimicrobial activity which revealed that some derivatives have potent activity exceeding or similar to the activity of the reference drugs. CONCLUSION The insertion of triazole or thiazole moieties to be fused with quinazoline ring helps to enhance its antimicrobial activity.

Abstract
Focusing on the literature progress since 2002, the present review explores the highly significant role that multicomponent reactions (MCRs) have played as a very important tool for expedite synthesis of a vast number of organic molecules, but also, highlights the fact that many of such molecules are biologically active or at least have been submitted to any biological screen. The selected papers covered in this review must meet two mandatory requirements: (1) the reported products should be obtained via a multicomponent reaction; (2) the reported products should be biologically actives or at least tested for any biological property. Given the diversity of synthetic approaches utilized in MCRs, the highly diverse nature of the biological activities evaluated for the synthesized compounds, and considering their huge structural variability, much of the reported data are organized into concise schemes and tables to facilitate comparison, and to underscore the key points of this review.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quinazolines and quinazolinones derivatives are well known for their important range of therapeutic activities. OBJECTIVE The study aims to carry out the synthesis of some derivatives of substituted fluoroquinazolinones based on structure-based design and evaluation of their antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-biofilm activities. METHODS Compounds were chemically synthesized by conventional methods. Structures were established on the basis of spectral and elemental analyses. The antimicrobial potential was tested against various microorganisms using the agar disc-diffusion method. MIC and MBC as well as anti-biofilm activity for the highly active compounds were assessed. Moreover, the computational studies were performed using Auto dock free software package (version 4.0) to explain the predicted mode of binding. RESULTS All derivatives (5-8), (10a-g), and (A-H) were biologically tested and showed significant antimicrobial activity comparable to the reference compounds. Compounds 10b, 10c, and 10d had a good MIC and MBC against Gram-positive bacteria, whereas 10b and 10d showed significant MIC and MBC against Gram-negative bacteria. However, compounds E and F exhibited good MIC and MBC against fungi. Compound 10c and 8 exhibited significant anti-biofilm activity towards S. aureus and M. luteus. Molecular docking study revealed a strong binding of these derivatives with their receptor-site and detected their predicted mode of binding. CONCLUSION The synthesized derivatives showed promising antibacterial, antifungal, and antibiofilm activities. Modeling study explained their binding mode and showed strong binding affinity with their receptor-site. The highly active compounds 5 and 10c could be subjected to future optimization and investigation to be effective antimicrobial agents.

Abstract
Type or The emergence of resistance to antibiotic has developed a complicated situation in the treatment of bacterial infections. Considering the antimicrobial resistance phenomenon as one of the greatest challenge of medicinal chemists for search of better anti-bacterial agents, which have potential narrow spectrum activity with low development of resistance potential and low toxicity to host. Cross-linking of peptidoglycan is a key step catalyze by Penicillin binding protein (PBP) to maintain integrity of cell wall in bacterial cell. However, these Penicillin binding protein (PBP) has developed resistance in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) due to acquisition of additional PBP2a. Various Quinazolinone analogues are reported in literature as potential anti-bacterial agents against MRSA. In present study new quinazolinone analogues has been designed, guided by molecular docking, In-silico and MM-GBSA study. Newly designed molecules have been synthesized by medicinal chemistry route and their characterization was done by using IR, NMR, & HR-MS techniques. Biological evaluation of synthesized compounds has been done on wild type Gram-negative (Escherichia coli), Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and resistant MRSA bacterial strains using Streptomycin, Kanamycin and Linezolid as standard drugs respectively. The in vitro evaluation results have shown that compound 5f is active with MIC value 15.625 μg/mL against S. aureus and with MIC value 31.25 μg/mL against MRSA.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis are major causative agents responsible for serious nosocomial and community-acquired infections impacting healthcare systems globally. Over several decades, these pathogens have developed resistance to multiple antibiotics significantly affecting morbidity and mortality. Thus, these recalcitrant pathogens are amongst the most formidable microbial pathogens for which international healthcare agencies have mandated active identification and development of new antibacterial agents for chemotherapeutic intervention. In our present work, a series of new quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial activity against ESKAP pathogens and pathogenic mycobacteria. The experiments revealed that 4'c, 4'e, 4'f and 4'h displayed selective and potent inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus with MIC values ranging from 0.03-0.25 μg/mL. Furthermore, compounds 4'c and 4'e were found to be benign to Vero cells (CC50 = >5 μg/mL) and displayed promising selectivity index (SI) > 167 and > 83.4 respectively. Additionally, 4'c and 4'e demonstrated equipotent MIC against multiple drug-resistant strains of S. aureus including VRSA, concentration dependent bactericidal activity against S. aureus and synergized with FDA approved drugs. Moreover, compound 4'c exhibited more potent activity in reducing the biofilm and exhibited a PAE of ∼2 h at 10X MIC which is comparable to levofloxacin and vancomycin. In vivo efficacy of 4'c in murine neutropenic thigh infection model revealed that 4'c caused a similar reduction in cfu as vancomycin. Gratifyingly, compounds 4d, 4e, 9a, 9b, 14a, 4'e and 4'f also exhibited anti-mycobacterial activity with MIC values in the range of 2-16 μg/mL. In addition, the compounds were found to be less toxic to Vero cells (CC50 = 12.5->100 μg/mL), thus displaying a favourable selectivity index. The interesting results obtained here suggest the potential utilization of these new quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives as promising antibacterial agents for treating MDR-Staphylococcal and mycobacterial infections.

Abstract
Emergence of drug resistance has created unmet medical need for the development of new classes of antibiotics. Discovery of new antibacterial agents with new mode of action remains a high priority universally. 4(3H)-quinazolinone, a fused nitrogen heterocyclic compound has emerged as a biologically privileged structure, possessing a wide range of biological properties viz. anticancer, antibacterial, antitubercular, antifungal, anti-HIV, anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. Promising antibacterial properties of quinazolinones have enthused the medicinal chemists to explore and develop this fused heterocyclic system for new antibacterial agents. Utilization of quinazolinone core for the design and synthesis of new antibacterial agents has recently gained momentum. This review aims to provide an overview of the structures and antibacterial activity of various 4(3H)-quinazolinone derivatives covering various aspects of in vitro and in vivo pharmacological activities and structure activity relationships (SARs).

Abstract
BACKGROUND N-{[3-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-oxo-3, 4-dihydroquinazolin-2-yl] methyl}, 2-[(2- isopropyl-5-methyl) 1-cyclohexylidene] hydrazinecarboxamide QS11 was designed by computational study. It possessed essential pharmacophoric features for anticonvulsant activity and showed good docking with iGluRs (Kainate) glutamate receptor. METHODS QSAR and ADMET screening results suggested that QS11 would possess good potency for anticonvulsant activity. QS11 was synthesised and evaluated for its anticonvulsant activity and neurotoxicity. QS11 showed protection in strychnine, thiosemicarbazide, 4-aminopyridine and scPTZ induced seizure models and MES seizure model. QS11 showed higher ED50, TD50 and PI values as compared to the standard drugs in both MES and scPTZ screen. A high safety profile (HD50/ED50 values) was noted and hypnosis, analgesia, and anaesthesia were only observed at higher doses. No considerable increase or decrease in the concentration of liver enzymes was observed. Optimized QS11 was subjected to preclinical (in-vivo) studies and the pharmacokinetic performance of the sample was investigated. The result revealed that the pharmacokinetic performance of QS11 achieved maximum plasma concentrations (Cmax) of 0.315 ± 0.011 µg/mL at Tmax of 2.0 ± 0.13 h, area under the curve (AUC0-∞) value 4.591 ± 0.163 µg/ml x h, elimination half-life (T1/2) 6.28 ± 0.71 h and elimination rate constant was found 0.110 ± 0.013 h-1 . RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Above evidences indicate that QS11 could serve as a lead for development of new antiepileptic drugs.

Abstract
Some fluoroquinazolinones (A–H) were designed, synthesized and biologically evaluated for their antitumor activity against the two cell lines, MCF-7 and MDA-MBA-231. New derivative G (IC50 = 0.44 ± 0.01 µM) showed antitumor activity, better than that of the reference drug erlotinib (IC50 = 1.14 ± 0.04 µM) against MCF-7. New derivative E (IC50 = 0.43 ± 0.02 µM) showed higher activity than the reference drug erlotinib (IC50 = 2.55 ± 0.19 µM) against MDA-MBA-231. Furthermore, the EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) and tubulin inhibition assays were carried out for the highest active derivatives to reveal the expected mechanism of action. They exhibited significant results compared to the reference drugs. Molecular docking simulations were performed on EGFR and tubulin binding sites to rationalize the experimental results and describe their binding modes. The results of the molecular modeling study were correlated with that of the antitumor screening.
