derivatives 5 and 6 were prepared, which, upon reacting with different reagents, afforded the triazolo, tetrazolo, and amino quinoxaline derivatives. Compounds 5, 8b, 9, 10b, and 11b were evaluated for their anticancer activity.
A series of novel substituted pyrimidinones and fused pyrimidinones (compounds 3-18) were synthesized starting with oxiranylmethanone 2. The in vitro cytotoxicity against a human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cell line was investigated and most of the tested compounds showed potent cytotoxic activity against the MCF-7 cell line comparable to the activity of the commonly used anticancer drug cisplatin. Treatment of MCF-7 cells with increasing doses (2, 5, 10, and 20 µg/mL) of the tested compounds revealed that the activity of superoxide dismutase and the level of hydrogen peroxide were significantly increased, while the activities of catalase and glutathione peroxidase and the levels of reduced glutathione were significantly lowered compared with control MCF-7 cells. In general, derivatives 11 and 16 revealed the highest anticancer activity among the tested compounds.
Activity. -A variety of substituted thiazolopyrimidone and related thiazinopyrimidone derivatives are synthesized based on the condensation of pyrimidinethiones (III) with appropriate ω-haloalkanoic acids. Some of the heterocycles obtained, especially derivatives (Vb), (VIIb) and (IXb), display antimicrobial activity. -(SALAMA*, M. A.; EL-ESSA, S. A.; Indian J.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
