PHARMACOLOGICAL STUDIES ON QUATERNIZED 4(3H)-QUINAZOLINONES
Abstract
Locomotor activity-inhibiting, anticonvulsant, muscle relaxant, analgesic, and antimicrobial properties of 2-methyl-3-pyridiniumacetylamino-4(3H)-quinazolinone chloride (1), 2-methyl-3-(4-methylpyridinium)acetylamino-4(3H)-quinazolinone chloride (2), 2-methyl-3-(4-ethylpyridinium)acetylamino-4(3H)-quinazolinone chloride (3), 2-methyl-3-(3-carboxamidopyridinium)acetylamino-4(3H)-quinazolinone chloride (4), and 2-methyl-3-(4-carboxamidopyridinium)acetylamino-4(3H)-quinazolinone chloride (5) were investigated. The locomotor activity-inhibiting properties and anticonvulsant activity of 2 were almost equal to those of methaqualone. The analgesic activities of 2 and 3 in the hot-plate test were equal to that of aspirin, whereas in the Koster test, the analgesic activity of 2 was higher. The compounds did not exhibit antimicrobial or muscle relaxant properties. Most active compounds had higher lipophilicity values than those of inactive compounds.
