A series of novel 2-(3-substituted propyl)-3-(2-methyl phenyl) quinazolin-4-(3H)-ones were synthesized by the reaction of 2-(3-bromopropyl thio)-3-(2-methyl phenyl) quinazolin-4-(3H)-one with various amines. The starting material, 2-(3-bromopropyl thio)-3-(2-methyl phenyl) quinazolin-4-(3H)-one was synthesized from 2-methyl aniline. When tested for their in vivo H(1)-antihistaminic activity on conscious guinea pigs, all the test compounds protected the animals from histamine induced bronchospasm significantly. Compound 2-(3-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl) propylthio)-3-(2-methyl phenyl) quinazolin-4(3H)-one (OT5) emerged as the most active compound (71.70% protection) of the series when compared to the reference standard chlorpheniramine maleate (70.09% protection). Compound OT5 shows negligible sedation (7%) compared to chlorpheniramine maleate (33%). Therefore, compound OT5 can serve as the leading molecule for further development into a new class of H(1)-antihistaminic agents.

Background: Motivated by the exciting biological potential for the use of hybrid molecules in medicine and therapy. It is anticipated that the coumarin-chalcone hybrids for skeletal muscle and antianxiety action will be investigated using a chemical hybridization technique.
Objective: Due to its numerous benefits, including high effectiveness, mode of action at receptors, minimal adverse effects, and improved pharmacokinetic features, naturally occurring and synthesized hybrid compounds are prospective sources for novel drug development techniques.

Background: Trichomoniasis and amoebiasis are neglected diseases and still remain as a global health burden not only for developing countries, from where are endemic, but also for the developed world. Previously, we tested the antiparasitic activity of a number of imidazo[1,2-]pyridine derivatives (IMPYs) on metronidazole-resistant strains of (HM1:IMSS), and (GT3). Their anti-inflammatory activity was also evaluated.

We report a short synthetic route for synthesizing 2,3-substituted piperazine acetic acid esters. Optically pure amino acids were efficiently converted into 1,2-diamines that could be utilized to deliver the title 2,3-substituted piperazines in five steps with a high enantiomeric purity. The novel route facilitated, for the first time, the synthesis of 3-phenyl substituted-2-piperazine acetic acid esters that were difficult to achieve using other methods; however, in this case, the products underwent racemization.

A novel synthesis of 2,3-substituted benzothiophenes is reported, involving a tandem base-mediated condensation of -iodoarylacetonitriles/acetates/ketones with (hetero)aryldithioesters and an intramolecular C-S bond formation. The reaction affords diversely substituted benzothiophenes and heterofused thiophenes in excellent yields.
