Design and synthesis of 1,4-substituted 1H-1,2,3-triazolo-quinazolin-4(3H)-ones by Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with PI3Kγ isoform selective activity.

ABSTRACT

A strategy for construction of medicinally important 1,4-substituted 1H-1,2,3-triazolo-quinazolin-4(3H)-ones has been devised and presented here. The compounds have been synthesized using one-pot multicomponent strategy under microwave assisted conditions. Triazolyl-quinazolinone based D-ring modified analogs are designed based on IC87114 scaffold, which is first known isoform selective inhibitor of PI3Kδ. Herein, we identified two triazolyl-quinazolinone compounds (5a and 5l) based on same scaffold with PI3Kγ specific inhibitory potential, the selectivity towards this isoform is well supported by in silico results, wherein, these compounds show better interaction and affinity and inhibitory activity for PI3Kγ rather than PI3Kδ. This repositioning of scaffold from PI3Kδ to PI3Kγ isoform can be very useful from medicinal chemistry and drug discovery perspective to unravel molecular interactions of this new scaffold in different cellular pathways.
