title: Synthesis and in vitro evaluation of the anticancer activity of novel fluorinated thiazolo[4, 5-d]pyrimidines.
abstract: The synthesis of several thiazolo[4, 5-d]pyrimidines containing a fluorophenyl moiety substituted at different positions and through different bridges is described. Twenty new compounds were prepared and evaluated for their anticancer activity using the USA-NCI in-vitro screening program. Three compounds were found active and their anticancer activity against 60 human tumor cell lines are described in detail.
