Abstract
Drug discovery and optimization comprise one of the most significant targets in medicinal chemistry. Quinazoline and quinazolinone derivatives and nitrogen-containing heterocycles have received significant attention due to their widely and distinct biopharmaceutical activities. Quinazolines and quinazolinones are considered as noteworthy chemical for the synthesis of diverse physiological significance and pharmacological utilized molecules. Quinazolines are building blocks for about 150 naturally occurring alkaloids with a broad range of biological activity. The various substituted quinazolines and quinazolinones displayed important, for example, sedative hypnotics, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipsychotic, antifungal, antimalarial, anticonvulsant, anti-Parkinsonism, cancer, and other activities. This chapter aims to highlight the latest evidence of quinazolinone and quinazoline derivatives as a privileged scaffold in medicinal chemistry.

1. Introduction
Emergence of drug resistance has created a critical and unmet medical requirement for the innovation and development of novel classes of antibacterial agents [1, 2, 3, 4]. Due to the appearance of drug resistance bacterial strains, there is an escalating need for the development of novel antibiotics to treat the resistant bacteria stain. Diverse set of biological activities of quinazolinones (fused heterocyclic system) such as anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant, anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-HIV and anti-analgesic [5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16], have encouraged to abundant of medicinal chemists to investigate this fused heterocycles as a novel drug molecules. Several research groups have successfully investigated and reported the promising antimicrobial properties and structure-activity relationships (SAR) of various quinazolinone derivatives.
Quinazolines and quinazolinones emerged as a privileged class of nitrogen containing heterocyclic scaffolds; exhibits a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities, viz. anti-inflammatory, antitubercular, and antiviral activities [17]. Number of quinazoline derived compound have been approved as a drug; for example prazosin and doxazosine are used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia and post-traumatic stress disorder [18], and erlotinib and gefitinib both are used for the curing of lung and pancreatic cancers ( Figure 1 ) [19].
Several quinazolinone-based drugs including idelalisib and fenquizone have been shown to exhibit a broad spectrum of antimicrobial, antitumor, antifungal, and cytotoxic activities [20]. Lapatinib has been displayed to be effective in combination therapy for breast cancer [21]. In the recent years, various synthetic strategies for the synthesis of quinazolines and quinazolinones derivatives have been developed to accomplish the budding requirements of medicinal chemist [22]. Many research groups have successfully utilized copper catalyzed Ullmann-type coupling procedures of aryl bromides and benzamidines for the synthesis of quinazoline derivatives [23].
2. Synthesis of quinazoline and quinazolinone derivatives
Synthesis of 4(3H)-quinazolinone using anthranilic acid or formyl anthranilamide [24].
Via condensation reaction of 4-chloroanthranilic acid amide with triethyl orthoformate, the 7-chloro-substituted derivative has been prepared [25].
Quinazolin-4(3H)-one was synthesized by the reaction of anthranilic acid with excess formamide at 120°C in an open air. This is also known as Niementowski reaction [26].
2-styryl-4(3H)-quinazolinone derivatives were prepared using starting substrate 2-aminobenzonitrile with 3-phenyl cinnamoyl chloride. Under alkaline conditions, intramolecular cyclization of cinnamamide derivative was carried out to afford 2-styryl-4(3H)-quinazolinone. This procedure was tolerated to a wide range of different substituted benzene rings [27].
Reaction of anthranilic acid with ammonium acetate, followed by formamide under microwave at 200 W yields the desired 2-substituted-4(3H)-quinazolinones products [28].
Reaction of anthranilamide with substituted aldehydes or ketones in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol under reflux condition led to the formation of 2-substituted-2,3-dihydro-4(1H)-quinazolinones in excellent yields [27].
The amino-quinazolin-4(3H)-one was synthesized by means of the reaction of the corresponding methyl anthranilate with an excess amount of guanidine in ethyl alcohol containing sodium ethoxide in moderate yield [29].
4-Arylaminoquinazolines has vast biological potential as anticancer agents, thus there has been great interest in their syntheses. Through the reaction of 2-aminobenzonitrile with different substituted anilines and anhydrous aluminum chloride, amidines were readily produced. Highest yield of the amidine intermediates was obtained, when excess amounts of suitable aniline and aluminum chloride were used [30].
2,3-disubstituted-4(3H)-quinazolinone derivatives were prepared through the treatment of N-acylanthranilic acid with the appropriate aryl amines in the presence of phosphorous oxychloride [31].
Benzoxazinone derivatives are the most widespread intermediates in the formation of 2,3-disubstituted quinazolinone derivatives. 2-methyl-4H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-4-one was prepared by refluxing mixture of anthranilic acid with acetic anhydride in acetic acid [32].
The reaction of 2-aminobenzonitrile with Grignard reagents yields the intermediates. The produced intermediate derivatives were very significant for getting many types of quinazoline derivatives. Upon their cyclization with acid chlorides, anhydrides, and formates, they formed the corresponding quinazoline derivatives in moderate to good yields. This general method for the preparation of various 2,4-disubstituted quinazoline derivatives is highly flexible and useful [33].
As shown in the scheme 2-chloromethyl-4-methyl-quinazoline derivatives were synthesized by the reaction 1-(2-amino-phenyl)-ethanone with HCl gas in anhydrous condition in presence of chloro acetonitrile to get 2-chloromethyl-4-methyl-quinazoline. Subsequently treatment of 2-chloromethyl-4-methyl-quinazoline with different amine derivative in presence of base furnished 2-chloromethyl-4-methyl-quinazoline derivatives [34].
3. Biological activities of quinazolinone and quinazoline derivatives
Subsequently the innovation of quinazoline ring numeral of structural modifications have been made in order to raise the biological activities such as antitubercular, antihistaminic, analgesic, anticonvulsant, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory activity which attracted the interest of medicinal chemists.
Cancerous augmentation is the main reasons of global human mortality. Numerous antineoplastic drugs are in the market and the majority of the compounds are under clinical trials. Studies make known that these antineoplastic drugs have exhibited the diverse kinds of side effects, as a result researchers around the world are engaged in the designing of more proficient and novel antineoplastic drugs. Recently, quinazoline and its derivatives have been considered as a novel class of neoplastic chemotherapeutic agents to facilitate activity against diverse tumors. Quinazoline is one of the most attractive novel bioactive compounds between all the heterocyclic compounds.
Quinazolinone derivatives, the privileged structures in the field of medicinal chemistry not only act as good anticancer agents but also act as good DNA intercalates [1, 2]. A systematic report is depicted herein for quinazoline ring. A number of quinazolinone and quinazoline derivatives (compounds
