In vitro microbial studies of new pyrazolyl quinazolin-4(3H) ones

A series of new 2-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenyl methyl-3-[(5-substituted phenyl)-1,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-yl-amino]-6-iodoquinazolin-4(3H) ones (6a–m) have been synthesized by the reaction of 2-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenyl methyl-3-substituted phenyl acryl amido-6-iodoquinazolin-4(3H) ones with hydrazine hydrate in the presence of glacial acetic acid. The chalcone (5a–m) have been prepared by the condensation of 2-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenyl methyl-3-acetamido-6-iodoquinazolin-4(3H) one with different substituted aromatic aldehyde. The compound 1 on treatment with 5-iodoanthranilic acid in pyridine undergoes cyclisation gave 2-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenyl methyl-6-iodo-3,1-benzoxazin-4(3H) one (2). Treatment on benzoxazine with hydrazine hydrate gave 3-amino-2-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenyl methyl-6,8-dibromo quinazolin-4(3H) one (3) followed by acetylation synthesized 2-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenyl methyl-3-acetamido-6,8-dibromoquinazolin-4(3H)-one (4). The structure of synthesized compounds has been elucidated by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and elemental analysis. The products were screened for antibacterial and antifungal activity. Among the series containing some of the compounds showed promising results against standard drugs.
