title: Synthesis and antileukemic activity of new 3-(5-methylisoxazol-3-yl) and 3-(pyrimidin-2-yl)-2-styrylquinazolin-4(3H)-ones.
abstract: 3-(3-Methylisoxazol-5-yl) and 3-(pyrimidin-2-yl)-2-styrylquinazolin-4(3H)-ones 8a-l and 9a,c-e,h-l were synthesized by refluxing in acetic acid the corresponding 2-methylquinazolinones 6 and 8 with the opportune benzoic aldehyde for 12 h. The synthesized styrylquinazolinones 8a-l and 9a,c-e,h-l were tested in vitro for their antileukemic activity against L-1210 (murine leukemia), K-562 (human chronic myelogenous leukemia) and HL-60 (human leukemia) cell lines showing in some cases good activity.
