OBJECTIVES A series of 3(benzylideneamino)-2-phenyl quinazoline-4(3H)-ones was synthesized by reaction of 3-amino-2-phenyl-3H-quinazoline-4-one with various carbonyl compounds. MATERIALS AND METHODS Chemical structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H-NMR and mass spectral analysis. Title compounds were investigated for cytotoxicity and antiviral activity against herpes s...

Cell-mediated immunity to fibroblasts transformed by herpes simplex virus type 2 was investigated with a lymphocyte assay system. The assay system was first standardized with phytohemagglutinin, a nonspecific stimulator of blastogenesis. Hamster splenic and blood lymphocytes reacted to phytohemagglutinin with a dose-response curve similar to that reported for other rodent species. Splenic lymph...
