Area of Science:

  • Medicinal Chemistry
  • Organic Synthesis
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Tuberculosis remains a global health challenge, necessitating new therapeutic agents.
  • Atypical mycobacteria infections are increasingly prevalent and difficult to treat.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize novel quinazoline derivatives.
  • To evaluate their antimycobacterial activity against various Mycobacterium strains.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of 4-quinazolinol from anthranilic acid and formamide.
  • Conversion of hydroxyl to thiol group using phosphorus(V)sulfide.
  • Alkylation of thiol group via phase-transfer catalysis.
  • Structural confirmation using NMR, IR, and MS.

Main Results:

  • Successful synthesis of several quinazoline derivatives.
  • Most compounds showed antimycobacterial activity against *Mycobacterium tuberculosis*, *M. avium*, *M. fortuitum*, *M. kansasii*, and *M. intracellulare*.
  • Compound 4-(S-Butylthio)quinazoline (3c) exhibited enhanced activity against atypical mycobacteria, surpassing isoniazide.

Conclusions:

  • Novel quinazoline derivatives possess promising antimycobacterial properties.
  • 4-(S-Butylthio)quinazoline is a potent candidate for treating atypical mycobacterial infections.
  • Further research into these compounds could lead to new anti-TB drugs.
