Synthesis of highly substituted 2,3-dihydropyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidin-4(1H)-ones from 4,6-dichloro-5-formylpyrimidine, amines and aldehydes

Recent Developments in the Synthesis of Bicyclic Condensed Pyrimidinones

Abstract:

Functionalized bicyclic pyrimidinones and their derivatives are significant heterocyclic scaffolds being their all-around prevalence in biologically potent compounds. In several attempts to explore the different synthetic methodologies for the construction of bicyclic condensed pyrimidinones, different researchers from all across the globe have reported numerous substantial methods. In the present review, considerable work has been critically compiled on the synthesis of substituted and functionalized bicyclic pyrimidinones from 2000 onwards.

Bicyclic 6 + 6 systems: the chemistry of pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidines and pyrimido[5,4-d]pyrimidines

The present study provides an overview of the chemistry and biological significance of pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine and pyrimido[5,4-d]pyrimidine analogs as types of bicyclic [6 + 6] systems. The main sections include: (1) synthesis methods; (2) the reactivities of the substituents linked to the ring carbon and nitrogen atoms; and (3) biological applications. A discussion demonstrating the proposed mechanisms of unexpected synthetic routes is intended. The aim of this study is to discuss the synthetic significance of the titled compounds and to establish the biological characteristics of this class of compounds as studied to date, where the compounds have been applied on a large scale in the medical and pharmaceutical fields. This survey will help researchers in the fields of synthetic organic and medicinal chemistry to undertake and improve new approaches for the construction of new standard biological components.

Synthesis and structure-activity relationship study of diaryl[d,f][1,3]diazepines as potential anti-cancer agents

We herein report the synthesis, biological activity and preliminary structure-activity relationships of a series of diaryl[1,3]diazepines. These compounds were able to inhibit the proliferation of many cancer cell lines, such as HeLa, MCF-7, SGC7901 and A549. When HeLa cells were treated with lead compounds 7j and 7k at 3 [Formula: see text] concentration, cell arrest was observed in the G2/M phase.

Discovery of Novel Tricyclic Thiazepine Derivatives as Anti-Drug-Resistant Cancer Agents by Combining Diversity-Oriented Synthesis and Converging Screening Approach

An efficient discovery strategy by combining diversity-oriented synthesis and converging cellular screening is described. By a three-round screening process, we identified novel tricyclic pyrido[2,3-b][1,4]benzothiazepines showing potent inhibitory activity against paclitaxel-resistant cell line H460TaxR (EC50 < 1.0 μM), which exhibits much less toxicity toward normal cells (EC50 > 100 μM against normal human fibroblasts). The most active hits also exhibited drug-like properties suitable for further preclinical research. This redeployment of antidepressing compounds for anticancer applications provides promising future prospects for treating drug-resistant tumors with fewer side effects.

The discovery of kinase inhibitors by a combination of diversity-oriented synthesis and selective screening

An efficient strategy for the discovery of kinase inhibitors by a combination of diversity-oriented synthesis and selective screening was presented.

Synthesis of highly substituted 4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidines via a one-pot three-component condensation reaction

A one-pot three-component reaction, involving condensation of 2-aminopyridines, aldehydes, and ketones/aldehydes under trifluoromethanesulfonic acid catalysis, provides rapid access to highly substituted novel 4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidines.
