A simple synthetic method for the preparation of enantiomerically pure (S)-4-aminoquinazoline alcohols from (S)-quinazolinone alcohols by key steps including chlorination, nucleophilic ipso substitution, and deacetylation is presented. Mutagenic and antimutagenic properties of the (S)-4-aminoquinazoline alcohols were investigated by using Salmonella typhimurium TA1535, and Escherichia colt WP2uvrA tester strains at 0.01, 0.1, and 1 mu g/plate concentrations. (S)-4-aminoquinazoline alcohols were found to be genotoxically safe at the tested concentrations. Among the tested (S)-4-aminoquinazoline alcohols, the best antimutagenic activity was obtained with a methyl derivative at 0.1 mu g/plate dose. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
