Background/Introduction: The synthetic studies of 4-quinazolinone derivatives have been presented due to the chemical and biological interest. 4-Quinazolinone derivatives possesses antibacterial, antifungal, amti-inflammatory, analgesic activities.
Aims and objectives: The objective of the present study was to synthesize these quinazolinone derivatives 3-Amino 7-methyl-1-methyl-4H-benzo[d]-[1,3]-oxazin-4-one and 3-Amino-7-methyl-2- methyl-3H-quinazolin-4-one and screened them for their anti-inflammatory activity.
Materials and methods: The condensation of 2-amino-methyl-5-methylbenzoate with acetic anhydride yielded the cyclic compound 1, 1,7-dimethyl-4H-benzo[d]-[1,3]-oxazin-4-one which further produce a novel 2,3-disubstituted-quinazolin-4 ones via the reaction with hydrazine hydrate. The compounds synthesized were unequivocally confirmed by means of Infrared, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H and 13C), Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrophotometer and Elemental analysis. The synthesized compounds were screened and pharmacologically screen them for their anti-inflammatory activity.
Conclusion: Compound 2 showed a higher anti-inflammatory activity against compared to compound [1].
Keywords: 1,7-Dimethyl-4H-benzo[d]-[1,3]-oxazin-4-one and 3-Amino-2,7-Dimethyl-3H-quinazolin-4- one; 2-amino-methyl-5-methylbenzoate; Nucleophile; Anti-inflammatory activity
General experimental procedure
All reagents and solvents were purchased from sigma-Aldrich, in Germany. Melting points were determined on a kofler hot stage apparatus and were uncorrected. IR spectra were recorded on a Buck scientific IR M500 instrument. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded in DMSO-d6 at 400MHz with HAZ VOLATILE V2. M Chemical shifts are reported in ppm relative to tetramethylsilane. Gas chromatography mass spectra were obtained on a Finingan MAT 44S mass spectrophotometer operating at 70eV. Elemental analysis was carried out with analytical. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) was used to monitor the reactions.
Synthesis of 7-methyl-1-methyl-4H-benzo [D] [1,3]-oxazin- 4-one (1)
This involved the condensation of Methyl-2-amino-7-methylbenzoate 2.11g(0.01mol) and 1.02g (0.01mol) acetic anhydride in 30ml ethanol medium were reacted. The reaction was heated under reflux with stirring using a magnetic stirrer until the reaction mixture showed no trace of starting material when the TLC was developed (2 hours). At the end of the reaction, work up was done. Ethanol was removed in vacuum and the crude mixture was poured into 50ml of ice water on a cold-water bath. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes filtered and extracted into ethyl acetate and allowed to evaporate at room temperature to give solid products which were recrystallized from hexane or dichloromethane-hexane mixture. Yield was 2.01g (95%), mp: 148-150 oC (Figure 1).

The condensation of equimolar amounts of 2-methyl-7-methyl- 4H-benzo [D] [1,3]-oxazine-4-one (1.06g, 0.005mol) and hydrazine hydrate (0.93g, 0.01mol) were added to 30ml boiling ethanol with stirring using a magnetic stirrer until the reaction mixture showed no trace of starting material when the TLC was developed (3 hours). At the end of the reaction, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuum under reduced pressure using rotary evaporator. The white precipitate formed was then filtered, washed three times with 20ml of distilled water [20mlx3]. The white crystals were dried and recrystallized from dimethylformamide (DMF) to give pure 3-amino-2-methylquinazolin-4 (3H)-one. Yield was 1.00g (94%) mp: 97-99 oC (Figure 2-4).

Chemistry
The introduction of 2-amino substituent is a successful strategy to improve the chemical stability of benzoxazinone. Due to the pharmacological activities of 4(3H)-quinazolinone derivatives, 2,3-disubstituted derivative of quinazoline-4-one were synthesized via the interaction of the benzoxazinone derivative with nitrogen nucleophile with the aim of obtaining more pricise information about the course of the reaction and some interesting pharmaceutical compounds. The reaction of 4, 5-disubstituted derivatives of 2-amino-methyl-5-methylbenzoate and acetic anhydride yielded the cyclic compound 7-methyl-1-methyl-4H-benzo[d]-[1,3]-oxazin- 4-one. The reaction of this compound with hydrazine hydrate yielded 3-Amino-7-methyl-1-Methyl Quinazolin-4 (3H)-one.
Pharmacological evaluation
Anti-inflammatory activity: Anti-inflammatory activity will be measured using carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema assay [22,23]. Groups of 5 rats of both sexes (pregnant female excluded) were given a dose of an anti-inflammatory activity of synthesized compounds. After one hour 0.1ml, 1% Carrageenan suspension in 0.9% NaCl solution were injected into the sub-planter tissue of the right-hand paw. The linear paw circumference was measured at hourly interval for four hours [24]. Two groups of drugs treated rats and one control group were used each test day and the mean paw oedema value for the test group being compared with the mean value for the control group for that day. Anti-inflammatary activity [25] will be measured as the percentage reduction in oedema level where drug was present, relative to control. Indomethacin (10mg/ kg) was administered orally as reference drug, whereas 10% Tween 80 was uses as negative control.
Statistical analysis: All data were expressed as the mean + SEM, the student’s t-test was applied to determine the significance of the difference between the control group and the test compounds.
Elemental analysis: The compositions of the compounds are summarized in Table 1. The C and H contents (both theoretically calculated values and actual values) are indicated

The test investigated compounds exhibited significant antiinflammatory
activity when compared with the control test sample.
For the IR spectra, compound 1 were characterized by absence
of υ NH2and presence of υ C-O stretch in 1159cm-1 region of the
compound. Compound 2 was characterized by absence of υ C-O
and presence of υNH2 in 3284cm-1and 3194cm-1 region of the
compound. Among the prepared products, 3-Amino-7-methyl-
2-methyl-3H-quinazolin-4-one (2) was found to exhibits the
most potent in vitro anti-inflammatory activity. The compounds
synthesized exhibited promising anti-inflammatory drug.
Compound 1 has Anti-inflammatory activities of 42.55% and
55.54% at 20mg/kg and 40mg/kg respectively while Compound
2 has Anti-inflammatory activities of 58.38% and 73.56%
respectively. Compound 2 showed the highest activity at 40mg/
kg compared to the other compound 1, acetylsalicylic acid and
indomethacin. It may be that the substitution of amino group at position three increases the activity. These compounds synthesized
have a higher activity than acetylsalicyclic acid, which is a standard
anti-inflammatory drug.
The acetic acid induced abdominal constriction method is
widely used for the evaluation of peripheral antinociceptive activity
[26]. It is very sensitive and able to detect antinociceptive effects
of compounds at dose levels that may appear inactive in other
methods like the tail-flick test [26,27]. Local peritoneal receptors
are postulated to be partly involved in the abdominal constriction
response [28]. The method has been associated with proteinoids in
general, e.g., increased levels of PGE2 and PGE2a inter peritoneal
fluids [29], as well as lipoxygenase products by some researchers
[30,31]. Indomethacin (10mg/kg) was administered orally as
reference drug while 10% olive oil was used as negative.
Compound 1 has Anti-inflammatory activities of 74.67% and 42.55% at 20 mg/kg and 54.45% at 40 mg/kg dose levels, while compound 2 has Anti-inflammatory activities of 58.38% and 73.56% at 20 mg/kg and 40mg/kg dose levels respectively. The compounds have high Anti-inflammatory activities. Compound 2 has a higher Anti-inflammatory activities compared to compound 1 and also has a higher Anti-inflammatory activity compared to Indomethacin, a standard Anti-inflammatory drug. It is therefore concluded that compound 2 could be a potential anti-inflammatory agent and a tool in pharmaceutical drug delivery.
