The syntheses of the title compounds are described. 1- [[2- Amino -1 - (hydroxymethyl) ethoxy] methyl] uracil exhibitslittleactivity against herpesviruses (HSV) in vivo

Annulated pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine/pyrano[2,3-d]uracil derivatives were synthesized using aromatic aldehydes, active methylene compounds and barbituric acid in presence of dibutylamine (DBA) catalyst in ethanol as solvent. The different substituents on phenyl ring in the fused pyrano uracil skeleton showed productive influence on its antimicrobial activity against some gram positive and gram neg...

BACKGROUND Nine novel uracil analogues were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of HIV-1. METHODS Key structural modifications included replacement of the 6-chloro group of 1-benzyl-6-chloro-3-(3,5-dimethylbenzyl)uracil by other functional groups or N(1)-alkylation of 3-(3,5-dimethylbenzyl)-5-fluorouracil. RESULTS These compounds showed only micromolar potency against HIV-1 in MT-4, tho...

Uracil-DNA glycosylase encoded in many species functions as a DNA repair enzyme that removes uracil residues from DNA. To investigate the potential function of uracil-DNA glycosylase encoded by human herpes-virus 6 (HHV-6), we sequenced a DNA clone (pSTY09), identified an open reading frame of 765 bp and compared the putative amino acid sequence with other uracil-DNA glycosylases, by computer a...

A practical and new method for the synthesis oxindole substituted pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines by the condensation of isatin, acetophenone and 6-amino-uracil under ultrasound irradiation conditions at 60 °C was described. The reaction was developed via a sequential tandem process to afford the oxindole substituted pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines in good to excellent yields. All reactions performed effic...

E7070 is a novel sulfonamide anticancer agent that inhibits cell cycle progression in G1 in mammalian cells, but its action targets are not known. We recently employed the genetically amenable fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe as a model organism to search for its targets. Here, we show that E7070 inhibits imports of amino acid and uracil into S. pombe cells. Unlike their prototrophic cou...

An environmentally friendly, one-pot, three-component synthesis of 8,10-dimethyl-12-aryl-12H-naphtho[1′,2′:5,6]pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine-9,11-diones was achieved via coupling aromatic of aldehydes, β-naphthol and 6-amino-1,3-dimethyl uracil in the presence of formic acid as a catalyst under solvent-free conditions at 90 °C. This method has several advantages, such as efficiency, good yield, short...

Uracil, the pyrimidine nucleobase, which combined with adenine forms one of the major motifs present in the biopolymer RNA, is also involved in the self-assembly of RNA. In the title compound, C(9)H(14)N(4)O(2)·2H(2)O, the asymmetric unit contains one dimethyl-amino-uracil group and two water mol-ecules. The plane of the N=C-NMe(2) side chain is inclined at 27.6 (5)° to the plane of the uracil ...

one-pot multicomponent reaction between isatin, barbituric acid, and 6-amino-1,3-dimethyl uracil was investigated in the presence of sulfonic acid functionalized nanoporous silica (sba-pr-so3h) and resulted in the formation of spirooxindole dipyrimidines. spirooxindole unit is found in many natural products and biologically active molecules and 1,4-dihydropyridines are an important class of com...
