Introduction: Quinazolinone derivatives represent one of the most active classes of compounds possessing a wide spectrum of biological activity. They are widely used in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Methods: The condensation of 2-amino-methyl-5-dimethoxybenzoate with acetic anhydride yielded the cyclic compound 2-methyl-5-substituted-1,3-benzo-oxazine-4-one which further produced a novel 2,3-disubstituted quinazolin-4-ones via the reaction with hydrazine hydrate. The compounds synthesized were unequivocally confirmed by means of Infrared, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H and 13C), Gas chromatography-mass spectrophotometer and elemental analysis. The synthesized compounds were screened and evaluated pharmacologically for their in-vivo anti-inflammatory activity and the paw volume of each rat was measured before 1 h and after 3 h of carrageenan treatment with the help of a plethysmometer. Results: Compound 1 had anti-inflammatory activity of 89.03% and 88.03% at 20 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg respectively, while compound 2 had anti-inflammatory activity of 94.79% and 90.30% at 20 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg respectively. Discussion: Compound 1 displayed a singlet signal at: δ 3.78 attributed to methoxy group and singlet at δ 3.68 which was due to methyl group. Also, 1H NMR spectrum of compound 2 showed a characteristic signal at δ 2.56 (singlet) corresponding to methyl group and duplet at: δ 3.90 for methoxy group. For the IR spectra, Compound 1 was characterized by absence of v NH2 and presence of v C-O stretch in 1101cm-1 region of the compound. Compound 2 showed the highest anti-inflammatory activity at 20 mg.kg of 94.79% compared to compound 1 and indomethacin. These compounds synthesized had a higher anti-inflammatory activity than indomethacin which is a standard anti-inflammatory drug. Conclusion: Compound 2 had a higher anti-inflammatory activity than Compound 1. The compounds synthesized had a higher anti-inflammatory activity than Indomethacin, a standard anti-inflammatory drug.
