Abstract :

Quinazoline derivatives are heterocyclic compounds that acts as important structural lead for the discovery of effective therapeutic agents. The anti-inflammatory activity along with cytotoxicity helps to reduce the inflammation and pain associated with carcinoma. Derivatives of quinazoline-4-one were preliminary screened and in silico molecular modelling studies using Autodock were performed. In the docking study, ligands were docked against anticancer and anti-inflammatory targets. In silico analysis revealed that the compounds with aromatic substitution at 3rd and halogen substitution at 6th or 7th positions possess lesser side effects and have more potent antitumor activity. Based upon these results 12 compounds were selected, synthesized, characterized and screened for their in vitro, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anticancer activities. From the in vitro studies, compounds QA4, QA7 and QB1 showed good anticancer, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity when compared to the standard. © 2018 Chemical Publishing Co.
