Quinazolinone is a heterocyclic chemical compound, a quinazoline with a keto group. There are two structural isomers, 2-quinazolinone and 4-quinazolinone, with the 4-isomer being the more common.

2-Quinazolinone
4-Quinazolinone

Derivatives

Jafari et al.^[1] state that "One of the most important [groups of] heterocycles in medicinal chemistry are quinazolines[,] possessing [a] wide spectrum of biological properties like antibacterial, antifungal, anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory, anti-HIV, anticancerous and analgesic activities. This skeleton is an important pharmacophore considered as a privileged structure."^[1] Their review discusses quinazolines and quinazolinone derivatives with antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities.^[1]

Quinazolinone drugs that function as hypnotic/sedatives usually contain a 4-quinazolinone core with a 2-substituted phenyl group at nitrogen atom 3.
