Some new 2-aryloxymethyl-3-alpha-substituted carboxymethyl-6,8-substituted-4-quinazolones as possible anticonvulsants. 1982

M I Husain, and E Singh

In view of their expected MAO inhibitory, CNS depressant and anticonvulsant properties, thirty new 2-aryloxymethyl-3-alpha-substituted carboxymethyl-6,8-substituted-4-quinazolones were synthesized by the reaction of substituted anthranil with various amino acids in pyridine. Some of these compounds at a concentration of 1 X 10(-3) mol/l inhibited rat brain monamine oxidase (MAO) in vitro and provided protection against pentylenetetrazole induced convulsions in mice.
