The current study provides a straightforward, simple, and efficient protocol for the microwave- assisted synthesis of a series of 2,3-dihydroquinazolinones and its affinity to bind to DNA so as to exhibit potential anticancer activity. The predominance of this method is smooth synthetic pathway, transient reaction times, facile workup, and exceptional yields. Docking studies manifested strong binding interactions with BSA enzyme (PDB ID: 3V03). The compound 6d was exceptional in binding to DNA. Compound 6d showed significant cytotoxicity and genotoxicity against Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) cells. UV–Vis absorption and Fluorescence studies were carried out for compound 6d showing promising results.
Keywords: 2,3-dihydroquinazolinones; Cytotoxicity; Genotoxicity; UV–Vis absorption studies; Fluorescence studies
