RESUMO
Considering that some thiopyrimidines were previously reported as potential therapeutics, the present study achieved novel analogs of bioactive 2-substituted thiopyrimidines-4-(3H)-ones via base catalyzed alkylation reaction of 2-thiouracil using alkyl and aralkyl bromides. The title compounds were 2-(1-butylthio)pyrimidine-4(3H)-one (5a), 2-(2-butylthio)pyrimidine-4(3H)-one (5b), 2-(cyclohexylmethylthio)pyrimidine-4(3H)-one (5c), 2-(benzylthio)pyrimidine-4(3H)-one (5d) and 2-(1-adamantylthio)pyrimidine-4(3H)-one (5e). Bioactivity tests revealed that thiopyrimidines 5a, 5c, 5d and 5e exhibited antimicrobial activity. The thiopyrimidine-4-one (5c) showed complete inhibition against Streptococcus pyogenes and Branhamella catarrhalis as well as antifungal action against Candida albicans. Significantly, the 1-adamantylthiopyrimidine (5e) was shown to be the most potent cytotoxic compound against multidrug-resistant small cell lung cancer (H69AR). Their structure-activity relationships were discussed.

This study reports the synthesis of some substituted 5-iodouracils and their bioactivities. Alkylation of 5-iodouracils gave predominately N1-substituted-(R)-5-iodouracil compounds 7a-d (R = n-C(4)H(9), s-C(4)H(9), CH(2)C(6)H(11), CH(2)C(6)H(5)) together with N1,N3-disubstituted (R) analogs 8a-b (R = n-C(4)H(9), CH(2)C(6)H(11)). Their antimicrobial activity was tested against 27 strains of microorganisms using the agar dilution method. The analogs 7a, 7c and 7d displayed 25-50% inhibition against Branhamella catarrhalis, Neisseria mucosa and Streptococcus pyogenes at 0.128 mg/mL. No antimalarial activity was detected for any of the analogs when tested against Plasmodium falciparum (T9.94). Their anticancer activity was also examined. Cyclohexylmethyl analogs 7c and 8b inhibited the growth of HepG2 cells. Significantly, N1,N3-dicyclohexylmethyl analog 8b displayed the most potent anticancer activity, with an IC(50) of 16.5 microg/mL. These 5-iodouracil analogs represent a new group of anticancer and antibacterial agents with potential for development for medicinal applications.
