Benzoyl chloride was added to the solution of anthranilic acid in pyridine to afford crude 2-phenyl-benzo[d][1, 3] oxazin-4-one (1). To the solution of compound 1 in dry toluene, various substituted anilines were added and the mixture refluxed for 8 h to afford 2-phenyl-3-(substituted phenyl)-3H-quinazolin-4-ones (2a-2f). All the compounds were obtained in solid state in yields varying between ...

Long-term antibiotic use generates pan-resistant super pathogens. Anti-infective compounds that selectively disrupt virulence pathways without affecting cell viability may be used to efficiently combat infections caused by these pathogens. A candidate target pathway is quorum sensing (QS), which many bacterial pathogens use to coordinately regulate virulence determinants. The Pseudomonas aerugi...

A convenient synthesis for 1,3,4-thiadiazolyl quinazolinone derivatives is described via facile cyclization of anthranilic acid with succinic anhydride and upon reaction glycine afforded 3-glycinyl derivative (2), which then treated thiosemicarbazide produced (3). Also, the key intermediate isothiocyanatobenzoazinone (13) synthesized checked triazolyl-(14), oxooxazolidinyl-(15) triazinanyl-(16a...

The purpose of this study was to determine, using the high-performance liquid chromatographic methods recently modified by us, the fate of dietary tryptophan in 17 healthy female Japanese adults who ate self-selected food. The experimental period was 22 days. The habitual intake of tryptophan was 3328.4 μmol/day. 24-hour urine samples were collected at the beginning of the experiment and then o...

Avena coleoptiles did not elongate when incubated with tryptophan under sterile conditions. Indole, anthranilic acid, and tryptamine promoted elongation. Under the same conditions, the tissue converted tryptophan-(14)C to IAA-(14)C. More IAA-(14)C was produced from indole-(14)C than from tryptophan-(14)C; however, the free tryptophan content of the tissue was also greatly increased by the indol...

The binding of two anthranilic acid derivatives, glafenic and floctafenic acids, to human erythrocytes and plasma proteins has been investigated in vitro by equilibrium dialysis. Despite their close chemical structures it was shown that the binding of the two compounds to serum albumin, lipoproteins, and erythrocytes was dramatically different both in quality and quantity. Using various techniq...

Extracts from an endophytic fungus isolated from the roots of the Algerian plant Globularia alypum showed prominent antimicrobial activity in a screening for novel antibiotics. The producer organism was identified as Dendrothyrium variisporum by means of morphological studies and molecular phylogenetic methods. Studies on the secondary metabolite production of this strain in various culture med...

Aprotic diazotization of anthranilic acid with isoamylnitrite or amylnitrite gave benzenediazonium-2- carboxylate. Subsequent thermal decomposition of this diazonium salt (in situ) in 1,2-dichloroethane as a solvent at 85OC and in the presence of 2,5-diethyl-3,4-diphenylcyclopentadienonaes a trapping agent gave 1,4-diethyl-2, 3-diphenylnaphthalene in high yield, after loss of carbon monoxid...
