Keywords: 2,3 - Diaminoquinazoline , acidity, triazinoquinazoline , aryl pyruvic acid , ethyl aroylpyruvates . Introduction In the broad class of heterocyclic compounds, the nitrogen heterocycles play an important role. Among them, quinazolines are most important class of compounds and have received much attention from synthetic as well as medicinal chemists, because of the diverse range of their pharmacological properties 1 - 5 . Moreover, quinazoline derivatives are reported to be used in several areas as materials in electronics, in electrochemistry as anticorrosive agents, as polymers or optical materials and fluorescent tags in DNA sequencing 6 . Fusedquinazolines are reported to be bioactive members, such as benzimidazo and benzothiazoloquinazoli ne derivatives as cytotoxic compounds with potential antitumoral 7 . Also, it was reported that benzimidazo[1,2 - c]quinazoline derivatives show various therapeutic activities, such as anticancer 8 and anticonvulsants 9 . Furthermore, fluorescence is a powerful a nd sensitive tool for studying the biochemistry of DNA and protein – DNA interactions. Because DNA is inherently only slightly fluorescent, for most studies, highly fluorescent probes with more favorable spectral characteristics, such as fluorescein, are att ached to the DNA molecule through a carbon linker 10 . So quinazoline derivatives are reported to be good DNA fluorphores 11,12 . In the present work we wish to report our attempts to synthesize new two isomers of triazinoquinazolines as expected as DNA fluor ophores.. Material and Methods All chemicals were supplied by Sigma - Aldrich and Merck (Germany). IR spectra were recorded for KBr discs on Fourier Transform infrared and Pye Unicam SP 300 Infrared Spectrophotometers , 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra were recorded i n DMSO - d6 using a Varian Gemini 200 NMR Spectrometer and Bruker AM - 400 spectrometers . Mass spectra were recorded on a HP - 5988A mass spectrometer at 70ev. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) was performed on silica gel sheets F 1550 LS 254 of Schleicher & Schul l and column chromatography on Merck silica gel 60 (particle size 0.063 – 0.20 mm). Melting points were measured on Gallenkamp melting point apparatus (UK) and are uncorrected. Elemental analyses were carried out at Microanalytical Centre (Cairo University, Egypt).

Results and Discussion The nature of the products obtained from the condensation of 1,2 - dimioheterocycles with β – ketocids or β – ketoesters was reported to be dependent on the acidity of the reaction 13,16 - 20 . Since, it has been reported 21 - 24 that the reaction of 2,3 - diaminopyridine with ethyl benzoylpyruvate 5a afforded two isomers 8 and 9 ( c hart 1) when carried out in aqueous sulfuric acid and acetic acid solution respectively.

The starti ng , 2,3 - diaminoquinazoline 3 13 required in this study was prepared as reported in s cheme 1 by reaction of methyl anthranilate 1 with cyanogen bromide to give 2 and followed by heating in hydrazine hydrate. In our hands the condensation of 2,3 - diaminoquinazoline 3 with each of 4a,b and 5c - e gave the product isomers 6 when it was carried out in pyridine. On the other hand, isomers 7 were obtained when the reaction was carried out in 1N hydrochloric acid solution ( s cheme 1). It might that this finding is dependent upon the difference in acidity of amino groups at positions 2 and 3 25 hence the 3 - amino group is more basic than 2 - amino group. So in basic medium the condensation occurred with the 3 - amino group to give 6 . While in acidic medium the 3 - amino group is protonated and the condensation occurred with the 2 - mino group to afford the other isomers 7.

Both samples of 6a were found to be identical in all respects (mp., mixed mp., ir, 1 H nmr). On the other hand, the authentic substance 6a was not identical in all respects (mp., mixed mp., ir, 1 H nmr) with the other isomer 2 - benzyl - 3 H - [1,2,4]triazino[3,2 - b]quinazolin - 3,6 - dione 7a (See Experimental). According to 1 H nmr study of the products 6a - e and 7a - e we have found that the products 6a ,b and 7a,b are present in their imine forms as their spectra revealed the presence of CH 2 proto sigl t δ = 4.00 d the sece of =CH protons in their 1 H nmr. The products 6c - e and 7c - e are present in their enamine forms (Chart 2), however. This is because the spectra of the products 6c - e and 7c - e have no signals of CH 2 protos while exhiit sigls of =CH protos t δ = 6.75 - 6.90 and signals of the 2 - NH protons. The latter signals disappeared upon exchange with deuterium oxide. As shown in experime ntal the signals of =CH and NH protons of enamine structures of 6c - e and 7c - e appeared at down field. Furthermore, the 13 C NMR in DMSO - d6 of 6c revealed no peak corresponding to CH 2 , while the oserved peks t δ = 115, 122 - 134, 137, 145, 155, 160, 162, 164, 181 correspond the structure 6c . This indicates the products 6c - e and 7c - e have the chelated Z - configurations. Such findings are similar to those reported for the products of the reaction of 2,3 - diaminopyridine with dicarbonyl compounds 24 . Antimicrob ial Activity : Ten products, 6a - e and 7a - e were evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal activities against three bacteria species namely Escherichia coli EC, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA and Staphylococcus aureus SA as well as three fungal species, na mely Aspergillus fumigatus AF, Aspergillus niger AN and Candida albicans CA. The antibacterial and antifungal activity were carried out in the Microbiology Division of Microanalytical Center of Cairo university, using the diffusion plate method 27,28 a bottomless cylinder containing a measured quantity (1mI, mg/mL) of the sample is placed on (9 cm diameter) containing a solid bacterial medium (nutrient agar broth) or fungal medium (Dox`s medium) which has been heavily seeded with the spore suspension of the test organism. After incubation (24 h for bacteria and 5 days for fungi), the diameter of the clear zone of inhibition surrounding the sample is taken as measure of the inhibitory power of the sample against the particular test organism. Most of th e compounds were tested in vitro against gram negative bacteria [Escherichia coli (EC) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA)], gram positive bacteria [Staphylococcus aureus (SA)] and antifungal activity against Aspergillus fumigatus (AF), Aspergillus niger (AN) and Candida albicans (CA). The reference antibiotics Ampicillin and Tetracycline were used as references to evaluate the potency of the tested compounds under the same condition. The test results are depicted in t able 1 on the following basis: The solvent used was dimethylsulfoxide and concentration of the sample in 100 g/ml. The results indicate that compounds tested have moderate degree of inhibition against the bacteria species and exhibited no activity against fungal species.

Their spectral data indicate 3 - and 2 - arylmethyl - 3H [1,2,4]triazino[3,2 - b]quinazoline - 2,6( 1H )diones exist predominantly in the imine forms 6a,b and 7a,b , while 3 - and 2 - arylacyl - 3H [1,2,4]triazino[3,2 - b]quinazoline - 2,6( 1H ) diones exist in enamine forms 6c - e and 7c - e . In addition, the antimi crobial activity of some of the products showed moderate activities against the bacteria species .
