Natural cytokinins are a promising group of cytoprotective and anti-tumor agents. In this research, we synthesized a set of novel cytokinin analogs with alkyl substituents at various positions of the aromatic moiety, as well as with oxygen-containing groups, and tested their antiproliferative activity in MDA-MB-231, A-375, and U-87 MG cell lines, and cytoprotective properties in H2O2 and CoCl2 models. Two amino-linked compounds were anti-proliferative with the ability to act synergistically with doxorubicin, and two carbamate-based ones were cytoprotective. According to the molecular docking data, anti-proliferation was based on the A2AR and APRT inhibition and cytoprotection on the CDK2 inhibition. The obtained results are promising for the development of novel anti-cancer therapeutics.
