Popis: Several substituted piperazinoquinazolones were synthesized, characterized, and tested for their ability to affect the respiratory activity of rat brain homogenate. All piperazinoquinazolones were found to inhibit selectively nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent oxidations of pyruvate, citrate, DL-isocitrate, β-hydroxybutyrate, α-ketoglutarate, and NADH while the NAD-independent oxidation of succinate remained unaltered. Inhibition of the oxidation of pyruvic acid by piperazinoquinazolones was concentration dependent, but added NAD, while stimulating the respiratory activity of brain homogenate, reduced the inhibition produced by these compounds. Some of these piperazinoquinazolones possessed anticonvulsant activity; however, this activity was found to be unrelated to their ability to inhibit the respiratory activity of the rat brain homogenate.
