Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of new quinazolinone-benzopyran-indole hybrid compounds promoting osteogenesis through BMP2 upregulation.

In search of novel osteogenic entities, a series of twenty-seven quinazolinone-benzopyran-indole hybrids were designed and synthesized using molecular hybridization approach. All the compounds were scrutinized for their osteogenic potential, primarily based on alkaline phosphatase assay as one of the major anabolic markers. From the primary screening, four osteogenic compounds were sorted from the series and were found nontoxic to the osteoblasts. Further, increased osteoblast differentiation and osteogenic mRNA upregulations suggest compound 47 as the most potent osteoanabolic agent. Immunoblot and ELISA analysis demonstrated that compound 47 promotes osteogenesis via RUNX2 and BMP2 mediated non-canonical p38 pathway. In vivo studies in BALB/c mice inferred that compound 47 stimulates bone anabolism as evident from histological and gene expression studies at 5 mg. kg-1. day-1 dose. Furthermore, structural activity relationship (SAR) and pharmacokinetic studies suggest compound 47 as a BMP2 upregulator and a potential bone anabolic lead for combating future bone metabolic disorders.
