A Traceless Approach for the Parallel Solid-Phase Synthesis of 2-(Arylamino)quinazolinones

Novel Approaches for the Solid-Phase Synthesis of Dihydroquinazoline-2(1H)-One Derivatives and Biological Evaluation as Potential Anticancer Agents

In the design of antineoplastic drugs, quinazolinone derivatives are often used as small molecule inhibitors for kinases or receptor kinases, such as the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor gefitinib, p38MAP kinase inhibitor DQO-501, and BRD4 protein inhibitor PFI-1. A novel and convenient approach for the solid-phase synthesis of dihydroquinazoline-2(1H)-one derivatives was proposed and 19 different compounds were synthesized. Cytotoxicity tests showed that most of the target compounds had anti-proliferative activity against HepG-2, A2780 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines. Among them, compounds CA1-e and CA1-g had the most potent effect on A2780 cells, with IC₅₀ values of 22.76 and 22.94 μM, respectively. In addition, in an antioxidant assay, the IC₅₀ of CA1-7 was 57.99 μM. According to bioinformatics prediction, ERBB2, SRC, TNF receptor, and AKT1 were predicted to be the key targets and play an essential role in cancer treatment. ADMET prediction suggested 14 of the 19 compounds had good pharmacological properties, i.e., these compounds displayed clinical potential. The correct structure of the final compounds was confirmed based on LC/MS, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR.

Traceless Solid-Phase Organic Synthesis

Traceless solid-phase synthesis represents an ultimate sophisticated synthetic strategy on insoluble supports. Compounds synthesized on solid supports can be released without a trace of the linker that was used to tether the intermediates during the synthesis. Thus, the target products are composed only of the components (atoms, functional groups) inherent to the target core structure. A wide variety of synthetic strategies have been developed to prepare products in a traceless manner, and this review is dedicated to all aspects of traceless solid-phase organic synthesis. Importantly, the synthesis does not need to be carried out on a linker designed for traceless synthesis; most of the synthetic approaches described herein were developed using standard, commercially available linkers (originally devised for solid-phase peptide synthesis). The type of structure prepared in a traceless fashion is not restricted. The individual synthetic approaches are divided into eight sections, each devoted to a different methodology for traceless synthesis. Each section consists of a brief outline of the synthetic strategy followed by a description of individual reported syntheses.

Advances in the Solid-Phase Synthesis of Pyrimidine Derivatives

This Review describes the existing synthetic approaches for the solid-phase synthesis (SPS) of differently substituted and fused pyrimidine derivatives. These synthetic strategies are classified on the basis of the different synthetic routes leading to the particular type of pyrimidine heterocycle formed. The Review discusses the application of a variety of polystyrene derived supports for the construction of pyrimidine rings. The effect of microwave heating on the solid-phase synthesis is also addressed in the review.

Tris(Hydrogensulfato)Boron Catalysed Rapid Synthesis of 2-Substituted-2,3-Dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-Ones under Solvent-Free Conditions

Aldehydes or ketones react readily in one-pot with isatoic anhydride and ammonium salts in the presence of tris-(hydrogensulfato)boron to produce the corresponding 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1 H)-ones in high yields under solvent-free conditions. The use of tris(hydrogensulfato)boron makes this process quite simple, more convenient and environmentally friendly. 2,3-Dihydroquinazolin-4(1 H)-one derivatives have interesting biological and pharmacological activities.

A Traceless Approach for the Solid-Phase Synthesis of 6-Amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diones

A traceless approach for the solid-phase synthesis of 6-amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diones is described. Reaction of resin-bound S-methylisothiourea with isocyanates yielded resin-bound iminoureas 3, which reacted with amines to afford the corresponding guanidines 4. Following intramolecular cyclizative cleavage of the resin-bound guanidines using potassium ethoxide as a base, the desired products 5 were obtained in good yields and high purities.
