Abstract: Pyrimidine and fused pyrimidine derivatives play an important role in therapeutic strategies. It is known to be most prominent structures found in nucleic acid, including uracil, thymine, cytosine, adenine and guanine, which are fundamental building blocks for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). A series of 4-substituted-3, 4-dihydro-1-(tetrahydro-3,4-dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)furan-2-yl)-6-phenylpyrimidine-2(1H)-one derivatives were prepared by reacting substituted benzaldehyde with acetophenone in the presence of NaOH by Knoevenagel reaction, Cyclization and Satos fusion. The chemical structures were confirmed by means of FTIR (Fourier Transform Infra Red Spectrophotometer-8400S), 1HNMR, Mass and elemental analysis. The data of these synthesized compounds were submitted to ACTREC (Advance Center for Treatment Research and Education in Cancer) Mumbai, India. for the activity of compound  on cancer cell line. Among all the synthesized compounds, compound 6C gives most potent activity on comparing with a positive control Adrimycin (Doxorubicin).

 

Key words: Anti-cancer, Knoevenagel reaction, Pyrimidine.
