Abstract
This study focused on efficiently, synthesizing novel derivatives of azo-4-(3H) quinazolinone and azo diamides. Azo diamides derivatives were synthesized by rapidly opening the ring of azo benzoxazine-4-one in the presence of primary aromatic amines, attempts to dehydrate diamides into azo quinazolinones were failed, while azo quinazolinones were synthesized from azo-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-4-one by using freshly fused sodium acetate in acetic acid The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were characterized using FT-IR, UV–visible, 1H-NMR, and13C-NMR. A solvatochromic UV–Vis absorption study was conducted on the newly synthesized azo quinazolinones using various solvents. The optical band gap of these compounds was subsequently determined. The compounds were then subjected to in vitro anti-microbial screening, measuring their inhibition zones against bacteria (S. aureus, E. coli) and fungus (C. albicans) using well diffusion assays. The newly synthesized azo quinazolinones were also evaluated for their anti-cancer activity against MCF-7 cell lines, revealing moderate to excellent anti-proliferative activity. Additionally, anti-oxidant activity was assessed using the DPPH method and the results revealed that the compounds showed good anti-oxidant properties.
