“…As important and useful fused heterocycles, N 3-substituted and N 1, N 3-disubstituted 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1 H )-ones have drawn much attention due to their broad range of pharmacological and biological properties, such as anticancer, antidiabetic, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, , antibacterial, antihistaminic, antiviral, antitumor, diuretic, , vasodilatory, , antiobesity, , antimalarial, anthelmintic, anti-Shiga toxin, antiricin, antimicrobial, , and anticonvulsant activities. In addition, N 3-substituted 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1 H )-ones can also be readily oxidized to the corresponding quinazolin-4(3 H )-one derivatives, which are important building blocks in natural products and synthetic drugs .…”
