Abstract: | Reaction of monosaccharides (D-glucose, D-galactose, D-xylose or L-arabinose) with 6-amino-3-aryl-2-methyl-4-(3H) quinazolinones (1a–c) in boiling methanol yielded the corresponding N-glycopyranosides 3a–c, 4a–c, 5a,b and 6a,b. The N-glycopyranosides 3a–c, 4a–c, 5a,b and 6a,b were acetylated with acetic anhydride and pyridine to give the corresponding acetate derivatives 7a–c, 8a–c, 9a,b and 10a,b. The structures of all these glycosides were assessed by elemental analysis, IR, NMR and mass spectra. Some of these products were tested for anticancer and anti-AIDS activity. |
