New Pyrimidinone and Fused Pyrimidinone Derivatives as Potential Anticancer Chemotherapeutics

Abstract: 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 … Show more

“…In line with our previous work [ 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 ] and our observations, we propose the modification of new heterocyclic compounds containing a pyridine nucleus in the hope that they could possess good anti-oxidant ability and anti-microbial activity.…”

“…Development of resistance is a key related issue commonly observed in drug therapy [7,8,9,10]. Despite the great efforts in cancer research, resistance is currently insufficient [11,12,13,14,15,16]. Therefore, there is a crucial need to logically design novel, molecularly targeted antineoplastic treatments, which are more selective, preferably less toxic, and eventually more effective than conventional therapies [17].…”

“…1,2 Therefore, an interest for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones (DHPMs) and their derivations is tremendously increasing. 3 One of the most important functionalized pyrimidinones is fused derivatives with an arylidene group. These heterocyclic compounds are significant intermediates for the preparation of many biologically active products.…”
