Synthesis, in silico and in vitro antimicrobial efficacy of substituted arylidene-based quinazolin-4(3H)-one motifs.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives have attracted considerable attention in the pharmacological profiling of therapeutic drug targets. The present article reveals the development of arylidene-based quinazolin-4(3H)-one motifs as potential antimicrobial drug candidates. Methods: The synthetic pathway was initiated through thermal cyclization of acetic anhydride on anthranilic acid to produce 2-methyl-4H-3,1-benzoxazan-4-one 1, which (upon condensation with hydrazine hydrate) gave 3-amino-2-methylquinazolin-4(3H)-one 2. The reaction of intermediate 2 at its amino side arm with various benzaldehyde derivatives furnished the final products, in the form of substituted benzylidene-based quinazolin-4(3H)-one motifs 3a-l, and with thiophene-2-c
