title: Anti-cancer activities of 5-acyl-6-[2-hydroxy/benzyloxy-3-(amino)-propylamino]-1,3-dialkyl-1H-pyrimidin-2,4-diones.
abstract: All the nine 1,3-dialkylated-pyrimidin-2,4-diones investigated are active against all the 59 human tumor cell lines. Compounds 2, 3, 4, and 6 show significant anti-cancer activities at some specific cell lines while compounds 7 and 9 exhibit anti-cancer activities against more number of cell lines. The structure-activity relationship studies indicate that the presence of piperidine/pyrrolidine at the end of C-6 chain, benzoyl group at C-5, and benzyl groups at N-1, N-3 of the pyrimidine ring increases the anti-cancer activities of these molecules.
