“…The quinazolinone moiety is a building block for approximately 150 naturally occurring alkaloids and drugs [7]. Literature survey reveals that natural quinazolinones and their synthetic analogs possess a variety of pharmacological activities, including PDE inhibitory activity [8][9][10][11][12], anticonvulsant [5,6], bronchodilator [13], anti-inflammatory [14,15], antimalarial [16], antituberculous [17], anti-HIV [18], narcotic antagonist [19], anti-tumor [20], tyrosine kinase inhibitor [21], adenosine antagonist [22], antimicrobial [14], etc. Similarly thienopyrimidine [23,24] and pyridopyrimidine [25], the bioisosters of quinazolinones are known to possess good anticonvulsant activity.…”
