Three series of new 2-[(4-substituted piperazin-1-yl) methyl]quinazolin-4(3H)-ones 4a-c, Ethyl 6,7-dimethoxy-4-oxo-3-[2-(4-substituted piperazin-1-yl)acetamido/propanamido]-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-2-carboxylates 9a-f and their 2-methyl analogues 13a-l were designed and synthesized as promising α1-adrenoceptor antagonists. The final compounds were evaluated for their in vivo hypotensive activity in normotensive cats. The most potent hypotensive quinazolinone derivatives 4b, 9e, 13i, 13j were further tested on isolated thoracic aortic rings of male Wister rats. All the tested compounds displayed α1-blocking activity with IC50 ranging from 0.2 to 0.4 mM less than prazosin. Furthermore, in the present work, molecular modeling study using Accelrys Discovery Studio 2.1 software was performed by mapping the synthesized compounds to the α1-adrenoceptor antagonist hypothesis in order to predict their mechanism of action. Compound 13j which has the best-fitting score displayed the highest in vivo and in vitro activity among the tested compounds.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.

D000077489 Piperazine An anti-nematodal agent effective against the intestinal nematodes ASCARIS LUMBRICOIDES (roundworm) and ENTEROBIUS VERMICULARIS (pinworm, threadworm). It produces a neuromuscular block leading to flaccid muscle paralysis in susceptible worms, which are then dislodged from the gut and expelled in feces. 1,4-Diazacyclohexane,1,4-Piperazine,Piperazine Diacetate,Piperazine Dihydrochloride,Piperazine Hexahydrate,Piperazine Hydrate,Piperazine Hydrobromide,Piperazine Hydrochloride,Piperazine Monohydrochloride,Piperazine Phosphate,Piperazine Phosphate (1:1),Piperazine Phosphate Anhydrous,Piperazine Salt,Piperazine Sulfate,Piperazine Tartrate,Piperazine Tartrate (1:1), (R-(R*,R*))-isomer,Piperazine Tartrate, (R-(R*,R*))-isomer,Piperazinium Oleate,Pripsen,1,4 Diazacyclohexane,1,4 Piperazine
