Heterocyclic chemistry comprises at least half of all organic chemistry research worldwide in particular, heterocyclic structures form the basis of many pharmaceutical, agrochemical and veterinary products.

Methods: The condensation of Methyl-2-amino-4-Chlorobenzoate with acetic anhydride yielded the cyclic compound 2-methyl 7-Chloro-1, 3-benzo-oxazine-4-one (1) which further produce 3-Amino-2-Methyl 7-Chloro quinazolin-4(3H)-ones (2) 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 spectrophotometry and Elemental analysis.

Results:  Compound 1 and 2 has Anti-inflammatory activity of 96.78%, 95.71% and 97.62%, 95.35% at 10mg/kg and 20mg/Kg dose levels.

Discussion:  Compound 1 has IR spectrum showed signals for carbonyl functional group at 1662 cm^-1, C-O and C-H stretch vibrations at 1102 cm^-1 and 2871 cm^-1respectively. The ¹H NMR spectrum showed three aromatic protons at δ_H 7.59, 7.16 and 6.40 and a vinyl methyl protons at δ_H 2.57._.In the ¹³C NMR spectrum, the ester carbonyl resonated at δ_C 168.08, while the aromatic carbons resonated in the range δ_C 113.40 – 149.23. The resonances at δ_C 153.13 and δ_C 22.15 were due to the imine oxygenated carbon (C-1) and the methyl carbon respectively.  Compound 2, had NMR data similar to1, except for an additional signal at δ_H 5.80 in the ¹H NMR spectrum which was attributed to the amino protons (2H).

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.
