Synthesis of 3-[4'-(p-chlorophenyl)-thiazol-2'-yl]-2-[(substituted azetidinone/thiazolidinone)-aminomethyl]-6-bromoquinazolin-4-ones as anti-inflammatory agent.

N-Chloroacetyl-5-bromoanthranilic acid (1), 3-[4'-(p-chlorophenyl)-thiazol-2'-yl]-2-chloromethyl-6-bromoquinazolin-4-one (2), 3-[4'-(p-chlorophenyl)-thiazol-2'-yl]-2-hydrazinomethyl-6-bromoquinazolin-4-one (3), 3-[4'-(p-chlorophenyl)-thiazol-2'-yl]-2-substitutedbenzylidene aminomethyl-6-bromoquinazolin-4-ones (4-11), 2-[(4'-oxo-3'-chloro-2'-phenylazetidin-1'-yl)aminomethyl]-3-[4''-(p-chlorophenyl)thiazol-2''-yl]-6-bromoquinazolin-4-ones (12-19) and 2-(4'-oxo-2'-phenyl-thiazolidin-3'-yl-aminomethyl)- 3-[4''-(p-chlorophenyl)-thiazol-2''-yl]-6-bromoquinazolin-4-ones (20-27) have been synthesized. All the compounds have been screened for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities at the dose of 50mg/kg po. Compound 21 showed maximum anti-inflammatory (38.35%) and analgesic (37.36%) activities. Compound 21 was also tested for ulcerogenic activity and the UD(50) value was found to be 195.6mg/kg po. The structure of all compounds has been evaluated by elemental analysis (C, H, N) and spectral analysis (IR, (1)H NMR and mass spectrometry).
