Several 6-substitued-1-methyl-2,5,7,8-tetrahydro-2-thiopyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine-4-ones and ethyl 7-amino-5-aryl-1-methyl-4-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-thiopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines-6-carboxylates were synthesized by treatment of 6-amino-1-methyl-2-thiouracil with primary amines and formalin (40%), and with ethyl 3-aryl-2-cyanoacrylate respectively. 8-Substituted-7-hydroxy-3- methyl-2-thioxanthines were synthesized by the treatment of 6-amino-1-methyl-5-nitroso-2-thiouracil with benzylidene-anilines. Elemental and spectral analyses were performed for the new compounds.
Structural-based drug design and solvent-free synthesis were combined to obtain three novel series of 5-arylethylidene-aminopyrimidine-2,4-diones (4, 5a–c, 6a,b), 5-arylethylidene-amino-2-thiopyrimidine-4-ones (7,8), and 6-arylpteridines (9,10) as dual BRD4 and PLK1 inhibitors. MTT assays of synthesized compounds against breast (MDA-MB-231), colorectal (HT-29), and renal (U-937) cancer cells showed excellent-to-good cytotoxic activity, compared to Methotrexate; MDA-MB-231 were the most sensitive cancer cells. The most active compounds were tested against normal Vero cells. Compounds 4 and 7 significantly inhibited BRD4 and PLK1, with IC50 values of 0.029, 0.042 µM, and 0.094, 0.02 µM, respectively, which are nearly comparable to volasertib (IC50 = 0.017 and 0.025 µM). Compound 7 triggered apoptosis and halted cell growth at the G2/M phase, similarly to volasertib. It also upregulated the BAX and caspase-3 markers while downregulating the Bcl-2 gene. Finally, active compounds fitted the volasertib binding site at BRD4 and PLK1 and showed ideal drug-like properties and pharmacokinetics, making them promising anticancer candidates.
