Synthesis and Antiinflammatoryand Anticancer Activity Evaluation of Some Condensed Pyrimidines

 Upon condensation with 4-isothiocyanato-4-methyl-2-pentanone, 2,3-diaminonaphthalene and N-aminoethyladenosine gave in good yields substituted pyrimidonaphthoimidazole and imidazopyrimidine thione. Refluxing pyrimidobenzthiazole with methanol H2SO4 at pH∼1 resulted in S-methyl pyrimidobenzthiazole in moderate yield. Pyrimidobenzimidazole derivatives could be reacted to S-alkylated and N-acylated derivatives by refluxing with ethyl bromoacetate in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate in THF and by heating in an acetic acid/acetic anhydride mixture. Heating of pyrimidobenzimidazole with 75% aqueous H2SO4 on a water bath ended up in a rearranged product. All compounds gave correct 1H NMR, IR, and HR mass spectra. Results of antiinflammatory, analgesic, and anticancer activity screening of the new compounds are described.
