Discovery of 4,4-Disubstituted Quinazolin-2-ones as T-Type Calcium Channel Antagonists.

abstract：:Tak-242 (resatorvid), a Toll-like Receptor 4 (TLR4) inhibitor, has been identified as a potent suppressor of innate inflammation. As a strategy to target Tak-242 to select tissue, four TLR4-inactive prodrugs were synthesized for activation via two different release mechanisms. Two nitrobenzyl Tak-242 prodrugs released...
