Practical synthesis and biological activities of quinazolinyl-triazinyl semicarbazides (10a-j) and quinazolinyl-triazinyl thiosemicarbazides (11a-j) have been described. The novel semicarbazides and thiosemicarbazides were prepared by condensation of different nucleophiles like isocyanate and isothiocyanate by the displacement of chlorine atoms on the basis of functionality concept on varying conditions. The synthesized quinazolinyl-triazinyl semicarbazide and thiosemicarbazide derivatives were evaluated for their expected antimicrobial activity.

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is an important drug target for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. A novel series of coumarin-piperazine derivatives were synthesized and their potency to inhibit human AChE enzyme (hAChE) was studied. All the final compounds were characterized by infrared, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, and elemental analysis.

A series of novel hybrid quinazoline-triazine derivatives was designed and synthesized from cyanuric chloride and anthranilic acid through sequential reactions, which contain different pharmacophores like quinazoline and substituted diaryl triazine (DATA) linked with ethylene diamine. All the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by infrared, (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR, MS and elemental analysis. Further, we evaluated the in vitro anti-HIV activity of the newly synthesized compounds against HIV-1 (IIIB) and HIV-2 (ROD) viral strains and as well as in vitro antimicrobial activity against four bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae) and two fungi (Aspergillus clavatus, Candida albicans) using the paper agar streak dilution method.

In an attempt to afford possible antibacterial and anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) agents, a series of 22 novel styryl quinazoline-based heterocyclic entities were designed and synthesized. Various substituted aryl urea and thiourea cores were incorporated at position 4 of quinazoline, followed by styrylation of position 2, aiming at an augmented biological potential. The synthesized compounds were well characterized through IR, (1) H NMR, (13) C NMR and elemental analyses.

In an effort to discover new candidates with improved antimicrobial activities, we synthesized and studied invitro antimicrobial activities of various series of 3-((thiophen-2-yl)-ethyl)-2-(styryl)-quinazolin-4(3H)-one (3a-3g) and N1-(substituted aryl)-N3-[3-((3,4-dimethoxy phenyl-2-yl)-ethyl)-4(3H)-quinazolone-2-yl]-acetonyl semicarbazides (7a-7j) with an intent to overcome multiple drug resistance to the pathogenic strains and to retain psychological action to develop novel class of antibacterial agents. The structure of newly synthesized scaffolds has been affirmed on the basis of FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass and elemental analysis. All the final scaffolds have been subjected to in vitro antimicrobial screening against two Gram (+Ve) bacteria (S.
