Cyclocondensation of 6-N-(3-hydroxypropyl)aminouracyl with 2-fluoro-or 2,3-dimethoxy-substituted benzaldehydes provided the corresponding 9,10-substituted 5-deazaflavins {pyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline-2,4-(3Н,10Н)diones}. X-ray diffraction analysis was carried out for 9-methoxy-10-(3-hydroxy-propyl)-substituted 5-deazaflavin derivative.The synthesis, functional role, and biologic properties of 5-deazaflavins (pyrimido[4,5-b]-quinoline-2,4(3Н,10Н)diones) attract increasing interest in the last decade. Apart from their application as a model of co-factor for some flavin-catalyzed reactions they are accepted as new class of antitumor agents, because they possess a wide spectrum of inhibiting activity for a number of tumor cultures (NCI-H 460, HCT 116, A 431, L-1210, KB etc.) [1]. Proceeding from these data in continuation of our research on new effective antitumor drugs among the pyrimidine derivatives and its condensed systems [2][3][4] we synthesized in this study some derivatives of 5-deazaflavin containing methoxy-and 3-hydroxypropyl substituents in positions 9, 10 of the system (Scheme 1).As it is evident from the scheme, the initial compound was 6-(3-hydroxypropylamino)uracyl (I), synthesized from 6-chlorouracyl and 3-hydroxypropylamine by a usual method [5].To obtain the target 5-deazaflavin (III) we chose a method based on the interaction of 6-aminouracyl with 2-halo(chloro, bromo)-substituted aromatic aldehydes [6]. The condensation of the obtained 6-aminouracyl (I) with
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.
