Synthesis of New Phenolic Derivatives of Quinazolin-4(3H)-One as Potential Antioxidant Agents-In Vitro Evaluation and Quantum Studies.

ABSTRACT: Considering the important damage caused by the reactive oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen (RNS) species in the human organism, the need for new therapeutic agents, with superior efficacy to the known natural and synthetic antioxidants, is crucial. Quinazolin-4-ones are known for their wide range of biological activities, and phenolic compounds display an important antioxidant effect. Linking the two active pharmacophores may lead to an increase of the antioxidant activity. Therefore, we synthesized four series of new hybrid molecules bearing the quinazolin-4-one and phenol scaffolds. Their antioxidant potential was evaluated in vitro, considering different possible mechanisms of action: hydrogen atom transfer, ability to donate electrons and metal ions chelation. Theoretical quantum and thermodynamical calculations were also performed. Some compounds, especially the ortho diphenolic ones, exerted a stronger antioxidant effect than ascorbic acid and Trolox.

Project description:Background: This research centers on the development and spectroscopic characterization of new quinazolin-4(3H)-one-isoxazole derivatives (5a-e). The aim was to investigate the regioselectivity of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition involving arylnitriloxides and N-propargylquinazolin-4(3H)-one, and to assess the antioxidant properties of the synthesized compounds. The synthetic approach started with the alkylation of quinazolin-4(3H)-one using propargyl bromide, followed by a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction. Methods: The structural identification of the products was performed using various spectroscopic methods, such as IR, 1H, 13C, and HMBC NMR, HRMS, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. To further examine the regioselectivity of the cycloaddition, Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level were employed. Additionally, the antioxidant potential of the compounds was tested in vitro using DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl)radical scavenging assays. The reaction selectively produced 3,5-disubstituted isoxazoles, with the regiochemical outcome being independent of the substituents on the phenyl ring. Results: Theoretical calculations using DFT were in agreement with the experimental results, revealing activation energies of -81.15 kcal/mol for P-1 and -77.32 kcal/mol for P-2, favoring the formation of P-1. An analysis of the Intrinsic Reaction Coordinate (IRC) confirmed that the reaction proceeded via a concerted but asynchronous mechanism. The antioxidant tests demonstrated that the synthesized compounds exhibited significant radical scavenging activity, as shown in the DPPH assay. The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of arylnitriloxides with N-propargylquinazolin-4(3H)-one successfully resulted in novel 3,5-disubstituted isoxazoles. Conclusions: The experimental findings were well-supported by theoretical predictions, and the antioxidant assays revealed strong activity, indicating the potential for future biological applications of these compounds.
