The starting material, 3-cyclohexyl-2-hydrazino quinazolin-4(3H)-one, was synthesized from cyclohexyl amine. Title compounds were investigated for analgesic, anti-inflammatory and ulcerogenic behavior. The compound 3-cyclohexyl-2-(1-methylbutylidene-hydrazino)-3H-quinazolin-4-one (4c) emerged as the most active compound of the series and is moderately more potent in its analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities compared to the reference standard diclofenac sodium. Interestingly, test compounds showed only mild ulcerogenic potential when compared to acetylsalicylic acid. %K quinazolin-4(3H)-one %K analgesic activity %K anti-inflammatory activity %K ulcerogenicity %U http://versita.metapress.com/content/7u7724h966581428/?p=e23b13a363df4ecabe5fbbbf469787e5&pi=5
