Aqueous ethanoic and methanolic extracts of Citrus Sinensis Peel were investigated for antiinflammatory activity in carrageenan induced paw oedema in wistar rats, and compared to a positive control drug, Indomethacin. These extracts were given(IP) in a concentration of 20, and 70mg/kg with extract with a concentration whichshowed maximum(95%) inhibition on carrageenan induced rat paw oedema. The effect was significantly higher than that of the standard drug indomethacin (93%).Methanol extract with a concentration of 40mg/kg produced 95% inhibition, which was also high as compared to the standard drug. Ethanolic extracts with doses of 20mg/kg and 40mg/kg produce less percentage of inhibition as compared to the standard drug Indomethacin. ©JASEM https://dx.doi.org/10.4314/jasem.v21i6.37

Background: Objective: The current study is aimed at the synthesis of these quinazolinone derivatives quinazolin-4(3H)-One, 2-Methyl-4(3H)-quinazolinone and 2–Phenyl-4(3H)-quinazolin-4(3H)–one and evaluate them for their analgesic activity. Method: The condensation of 2-amino-methyl-4-methoxybenzoate with acetic anhydride yielded the cyclic compound 2-methyl-4, 5-disubstituted-1, 3-benzo-oxazine-4-one which further produce a novel 2,3-disubstituted quinazolin-4 ones via the reaction with hydrazine hydrate The quinazolinone derivatives quinazolin-4(3H)-One,  2-Methyl-4(3H)-quinazolinone  and 2–Phenyl-4(3H)-quinazolin-4(3H)–one were evaluated pharmacologically for their in vivo analgesic activities by acetic acid induced writhing in mice. 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 for their analgesic activity.Compounds 1,2 and 3 showed significant analgesic activity. Discussion: Compound 1 was characterized by the absence of methyl group and the presence of methyl group for compound 2. The test investigated compounds exhibited significant analgesic activity when compared with the control test sample. The compounds  synthesized  exhibited promising analgesic  activities against .  Conclusion: The compounds have high analgesic activity. Compound 3 has a higher activity  compared to Compound 2 and compound 2 has a higher analgesic activity compared to compound  1.  Compound 3 has a higher analgesic activity compared to the standard drugs Aspirin and Indomethacin. Keywords:  quinazolin-4(3H)-One, 2-Methyl-4(3H)-quinazolinone and 2–Phenyl-4(3H)-quinazolin-4(3H)–one quinazolin-4(3H)-one, analgesic activity.

Background: Quinazoline and quinazolinone scaffolds represent an important class of biologically active nitrogen heterocyclic compounds. Many marketed drugs are based on these moieties. A diverse range of molecules with quinazoline/quinazolinone moieties have been reported to exhibit broad spectrum of biological activities Objective: This study is aimed at the synthesis of these quinazolinone derivatives, quinazolin-4(3H)-One, 2-Methyl-4(3H)-quinazolinone and 2–Phenyl-4(3H)-quinazolin-4(3H)–one and evaluate them for their antibacterial activities. Method: The consolidation of 2-amino-methyl-4-methoxybenzoate with acetic anhydride produced the cyclic compound 2-methyl-4, 5-disubstituted-1, 3-benzo-oxazine-4-one which also produce a novel 2,3-disubstituted quinazolin-4 ones via the reaction with hydrazine hydrate. The quinazolinone derivatives quinazolin-4(3H)-One, 2-Methyl-4(3H)-quinazolinone and 2–Phenyl-4(3H)-quinazolin-4(3H)–one were evaluated pharmacologically for their in vivo analgesic activities by acetic acid induced writhing in mice. The compounds synthesized were assuredly validated by means of Infrared, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H and 13C), Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrophotometer and Elemental analysis. The synthesized compounds were tested for their antibacterial activity.Compounds 1,2 and 3 showed significant antibacterial activities. Discussion: Compound 1 was identified by the absence of methyl group and the presence of methyl group for compound 2. The test analysed compounds exhibited significant antibacterial activities. The compounds synthesized exhibited promising antibacterial activities against the tested organisms. Conclusion: The compounds have high antibacterial activities. Compound 2 has a higher activity compared to Compound 1 and 3. Compound 2 has a higher antibacterial against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia and Pseudomonas aeuriginosa

The current study is aimed at the analgesic evaluation of quinazolinone derivatives. The quinazolinone derivatives 7-chloro-2-methyl-4H-benzo[d][1,3]-oxazin-4-one and 3-amino-7-chloro-2-methyl-quinazolin-4(3H)-one were evaluated pharmacologically for their in vivo analgesic activities by acetic acid induced writhing in mice. The compounds exhibited significant analgesic activity in the range of 74.67 - 83.80% in comparison to control.
