Background: Quinazolines and quinazolinones constitute a major class of biologically active molecules both from natural and synthetic sources. The quinazolinone moiety is an important pharmacophore showing many types of pharmacological activities as shown in recent exhaustive review on the chemistry of 2-heteroaryl & heteroalkyl-4-quinazolinones4-quinazolinones are the formal condensation products of anthranilic acid and amides, and they can also be prepared in this fashion through the Niementowski quinazolinone synthesis, named after it’s discoverer Stefan Niementowski. Quinazoline and condensed Quinazoline exhibit potent central nervous system (CNS) activities like anti-anxiety, analgesic, anti-inflammatory [10] and anticonvulsant [11]. Quinazolin-4-ones with 2, 3-disubstitution is reported to possess significant analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anticonvulsant activities Methods: To expand these views and application profiles, efforts have been developed for the synthesis of a new class of quinazolinone by incorporating different amines into synthesized benzoxazinone ring by replacing O atom in the ring. Up to now, a great number of various procedures have been proposed for the synthesis of quinazolin-4-ones in the past few years [16]. Using microwave radiation, this reaction could be easily and rapidly performed in very good yields, providing a large quantity of various 3-substituted-2- propyl-quinazolin-4-one derivatives which can be employed as useful bioactive compounds. We report a facile and efficient method for the synthesis of 3-substituted-2-propyl-quinazolin-4-one by the condensation reaction of Anthranilic acid or Halogen substituted anthranilic acid or methyl anthranilate, butanoic anhydride with various amines. we also reports a drug/ligand or receptor/protein interactions by identifying the suitable active sites in human gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor, the gaba (a)r-beta3 homopentamer human gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor, the gaba (a)r-beta3 homopentamer protein. Results: We are pleased to find that the reaction provided of 3-alkyl/aryl-2-alkyl-quinazolin-4-one gives good yield as well as good quality of product by using MW. All the synthesized compounds were subjected to grid-based molecular docking studies. The results shows that compound 4t have good affinity to the active site residue of human gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor, the gaba (a)r-beta3 homopentamer. Conclusion: The Microwave irradiation for synthesis of the title compounds offers reduction in reaction time, operation simplicity, cleaner reaction, easy work up and improved yields. The procedure clearly highlights the advantages of Green Chemistry. The data reported in this article may be a helpful guide for the medicinal chemists who are working in this area. The Protein-Ligand interaction plays a significant role in structural based drug designing. In the Present work we have docked the ligand, 2, 3-disubstituted quinazolinone with the proteins that are used as the target for GABA-A receptor.

A novel series of N-phenyl anthranilic acid-based 1,3,4-oxadiazoles were prepared (4a–h) and subjected to anti-inflammatory, analgesic activity and molecular docking studies to target cyclooxygenase-2 enzyme. 1,3,4-Oxadiazole derivatives were screened for anti-inflammatory activity in carrageenan-induced rat paw edema and analgesic activity by tail immersion method. In synthesized compounds, the free carboxylic group, which is responsible for gastric side effects, was derivatized by heterocyclic 1,3,4-oxadiazole bioactive core, which showed good interaction with COX-2 receptor with good docking score. Among all the synthesized compounds,4eand4fhave emerged out as potential COX-2 inhibitors.

A 3D model of Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) (Accession Number: Q543f6) is generated based on crystal structure of P. falciparum PFPK5-indirubin-5-sulphonate ligand complex (PDB ID: 1V0O) at 2.30 Å resolution was used as template. Protein-ligand interaction studies were performed with flavonoids to explore structural features and binding mechanism of flavonoids as CDK5 (Cyclin-dependent kinase 5) inhibitors. The modelled structure was selected on the basis of least modeler objective function. The model was validated by PROCHECK. The predicted 3D model is reliable with 93.0% of amino acid residues in core region of the Ramachandran plot. Molecular docking studies with flavonoids viz., Diosmetin, Eriodictyol, Fortuneletin, Apigenin, Ayanin, Baicalein, Chrysoeriol and Chrysosplenol-D with modelled protein indicate that Diosmetin is the best inhibitor containing docking score of -8.23 kcal/mol. Cys83, Lys89, Asp84. The compound Diosmetin shows interactions with Cys83, Lys89, and Asp84.

Novel (benzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yloxy)-N′-(4-substituted benzylidene)acetohydrazide derivatives were synthesized and their anticonvulsant activity evaluated by MES and scMET seizure models. Compound 2-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yloxy)-N′-benzylideneacetohydrazide (4a) was found to be most potent in MES seizure test and showed no neurotoxicity at the highest administered dose. All the compounds showed high docking score with γ-aminobutyric acid receptor, GABAAR-β3 homopentamer (PDB ID: 4COF). Thus, the probable mechanism of action of benzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yloxy-N′-(4-substituted benzylidene)acetohydrazide derivatives (4a-h) may be augmentation of GABAergic activity.

Background: Iminostilbene and 1,2,3-triazole ring containing compounds are considered as beneficial substrates in drug design. Objectives: This study was aimed at the synthesis of novel series of iminostilbene linked 1,2,3- triazole pharmacophores (7c-n) by Cu(I) catalyzed 1,3 dipolar cycloaddition reaction between 5- (Prop-2-yn-1-yl)-5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepine (7b) and various substituted azidobenzene derivatives (3cn). Methods: The chemical structures of compounds were confirmed by 1 H NMR, 13C NMR, LC-MS and molecular docking studies were carried out through HEX docking software. Results: The in vivo anti anxiety capacity of the compounds was evaluated by using “elevated plus maze” (EPM), anxiety model. The results exhibited that compounds (7d, 7e, 7j and 7k) have a higher anti anxiety effect close to diazepam. The anti-inflammatory activities of the synthesized compounds were evaluated by “Carrageenan-induced rat paw edema” model, compounds (7b, 7c, 7d, 7f, and 7j) demonstrated statistically significant inflammatory activity. Molecular docking analysis revealed that compounds (7d, 7e and 7j) bound to GABA(A) proteins show more efficiency when compared to the other analogues in the series. Conclusion: These results suggest that compounds (7b, 7c, 7d, 7e, 7f, and 7j) can be considered as novel candidates for anti-anxiety and anti-inflammatory agents. Moreover, docking method was used to elucidate anti-anxiety effect of compounds. This study furnished insight into the molecular interactions of synthesized compounds with their physiological targets, and the potential to develop bioactive heterocyclic compounds.
