Synthesis and in vitro antiproliferative evaluation of novel N-alkylated 6-isobutyl- and propyl pyrimidine derivatives
摘要:
A series of novel N-alkylated C-6-isobutyl- or -propyl pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized and their antiproliferative effect was evaluated on a panel of tumor cell lines including leukemia cell line K562 and normal diploid human fibroblasts. N-methoxymethylated 5-methylpyrimidin-2,4-dione with di (benzyloxy)isobutyl at C-6 (14b) showed the strongest effect on the cell growth at micromolar concentrations. Mechanisms of action for the lipophilic compound 14b predicted in silico, pointed to its anticancer and antimetastatic potential exerted through inhibition of DNA or RNA polymerases and adhesion molecules. The latter mechanism has been supported in vitro for adherent tumor cell lines. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
