[Polycyclic azines with heteroatoms in the 1- and 3-position. 40. Synthesis of heterocyclic immunomodulators. 3. Synthesis of n-1 substituted 3-(2-mercaptoethyl)quinazoline-2,4-(1H,3H)-diones from bis(2-(2-aminobenzoylamino)ethyl)disulfane and testing of immunostimulant activity].

A 3-step synthesis, starting from substituted isatoic anhydride was used to prepare substituted 3-(2-mercaptoethyl)quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones 4. Reaction of 1 with cystamine afforded bis[2-(2-amino-benzoyl-amino)ethyl]disulfanes 2. Reaction of 2 with ethyl chloroformate and subsequent reduction of the heterocyclic disulfanes 3 gave mercaptoethylquinazoline-2,4-diones 4a-f.N-1 methyl and benzyl substituted derivatives 4b and 4c, respectively, show immuno-stimulating activity in various tests.
