Synthesis and Evaluation of Antioxidant Properties of 2-Substituted Quinazolin-4(<i>3H</i>)-ones

Quinazolinones represent an important scaffold in medicinal chemistry with diverse biological activities. Here, two series of 2-substituted quinazolin-4(3<i>H</i>)-ones were synthesized and evaluated for their antioxidant properties using three different methods, namely DPPH, ABTS and TE...
