that 6-halouracils substituted at position C5 by certain hydrophobic groups exhibit significant inhibitory activity against this enzyme. The most potent compounds bear a five- or six-membered cyclic substituent containing a pi-electron system at C5 and a chlorine atom attached at C6. 6-Chloro-5-cyclopent-1-en-1-yluracil 7a is the most efficient derivative in this study, with Ki = 0.20 +/- 0.03 microM

As part of a series of studies to discover new HIV reverse-transcriptase inhibitors, various novel 6α- and 6β-naphthylthio 1-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]-6-(phenylthio) thymine (HEPT) derivatives were synthesized, and in vitro anti-HIV-1 activity was evaluated. The results revealed that most of 6α-naphthylthio HEPT derivatives (7a—w) showed good activity [for 7e, IC50 value of 0.048 μM and selectivity index (SI) value of 735; for 7h, IC50 value of 0.057 μM and SI value of 579; for 7k, IC50 value of 0.063 μM and SI value of 565], 6β-naphthylthio HEPT derivatives (8a—f) showed low activity, but the introduction of α nitro group to the C-1 position of the 6β-naphthyl ring in the 6β-naphthylthio series (11a—c) resulted in a dramatic increase in anti-HIV-1 activity.

The [(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]-6-(phenylthio)thymine (HEPT) analogs were reported to be a kind of promising lead compounds as nonnucleoside HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors. In this work, a series of novel sulfinyl-substituted analogs were designed by structure-based design strategy with the purpose of improving the activity of HEPT, followed by evaluating their anti-HIV-1 activity in MT-4 cells

Quantum chemical calculations of energy, geometrical structure and vibrational wavenumbers of a potential chemotherapeutic agent namely, 5-propyl-6-(p-tolylsulfanyl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione were carried out, using DFT method. Comprehensive interpretation of the experimental FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of the compound under study is based on potential energy distribution. The difference between the observed and scaled wavenumbers of most of the normal modes is very small with B3LYP/6311 + +G(d,p) method. The UV-Vis spectrum of the compound was recorded and the electronic properties, such as frontier orbitals and band gap energies were calculated by the TD-DFT approach. The values of the electric dipole moment, polarizability and first static hyperpolarizability of the title compound have also been investigated. NBO analysis has been performed to explain the charge transfer within the molecule along with the calculation of different thermo-dynamical properties. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
