Facile Preparation of 4-Substituted Quinazoline Derivatives
Published on: February 15, 2016
7-Fluoro-6-nitro-quinazolin-4(3H)-one
Abstract:
The quinazolinone unit of the title compound, C(8)H(4)FN(3)O(3), is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.0538 (14) Å for the O atom. The nitro group is twisted by 12.0 (3)° from the mean plane of the quinazolinone ring system. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular N-H⋯O, C-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

01:28Inhibitors of Bacterial DNA Synthesis
Bacterial pathogens depend on precise and efficient DNA replication to sustain infection. Two type II topoisomerases—DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV—are critical to this process, as they resolve DNA supercoiling and unlink chromosomes during replication. Fluoroquinolones, synthetic derivatives of quinolones, exploit this mechanism by stabilizing the transient DNA–enzyme cleavage complex, preventing strand religation, and causing lethal double-strand breaks. These antibiotics are selectively...
01:22Antiviral Nucleoside Inhibitors
Antiviral Nucleoside InhibitorsAntiviral nucleoside inhibitors are structural analogs of natural nucleosides that interfere with viral DNA or RNA synthesis. These compounds selectively target viral polymerases due to their resemblance to host nucleosides, thereby disrupting viral genome replication.Mechanism of Acyclovir ActionAcyclovir is a guanosine analog with a three-carbon acyclic side chain. It selectively targets herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2),...
