In the current study, two novel classes of the carboacyclic nucleosides having miconazole-like scaffolds as imidazole- and pyrimidine-based compounds were examined for their cytotoxic properties. The aim was to establish a relation between cytotoxic activity and nature of the synthetic compounds. While Escherichia coli (DH5 alpha) and human erythromyeloblastoid leukemia cell line (K562) were the target cells, depending on the type of substitution made, ranges of antibacterial and antineoplastic activities were observed. Also the electron-donating and electron-accepting properties of the ligands were proved to play a crucial role in their cytotoxic activities. Accordingly, the substitutions associated with the marked improvement of cytotoxic activities can be considered as the significant point in construction of new generation of either antibacterial or antineoplastic agents.
