Abstract
HYPOGLYCAEMIC activity has not so far been reported in any 4-quinazolone derivatives. We have found that 2-piperazino-3H,4-quinazolone monoacetate (I; 68/157) is an effective blood sugar lowering agent (patent pending). This compound was synthesized by heating 2-ethylthio-3H,4-quinazolone with N-benzylpiperazine followed by debenzylation with H2 over Pd/C in glacial acetic acid.
