Abstract: Background: Free radicals and ROS which are formed in normal physiological conditions, damages the cells if it is not eliminated by endogenous system causes oxidative stress. Pyridopyrimidines important molecule heterocyclic chemistry, gaining interest because of their biological pharmacological activities, especially for potential anti-tumor, antibacterial tyrosine kinase inhibitors,...

a simple, novel, efficient and three-component procedure for the synthesis of pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione derivatives by the reaction of 6-amino-1,3-dimethyluracil, aldehyde and 2-benzylisothiourea hydrochloride promoted by ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([bmim]br) under solvent-free conditions is reported. the presented method is benefited from operational simplicity,...

New 7-thio derivatives of 6,7-dihydro-1H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidine-2,4(3H,5H)-dione have been synthesized by the reaction of 3-cyclohexyl-7-thio-6,7-dihydro-1H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidine-2,4(3H,5H)-dione with alkylhalogenides. The synthesized compounds were tested for antioxidant activity on the model of Fe(2+)-dependent oxidation of adrenaline in vitro. It was found that the antiradical activity of...

The three possible structural isomers of 4-(pyridyl)pyrimidine were employed for the synthesis of new pyrrolo[1,2-c]pyrimidines and new indolizines, by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of their corresponding N-ylides generated in situ from their corresponding cycloimmonium bromides. In the case of 4-(3-pyridyl)pyrimidine and 4-(4-pyridyl)pyrimidine the quaternization reactions occur as expect...

Since C57BL X DBA F1 (hereafter called BDF1) mice possess a relatively constant concentration of serum uridine [9.7 +/- 1.3 (S.D.) nmol/ml], circulating uridine is available to cells with an intact pyrimidine salvage pathway and thus could influence the effectiveness of certain antitumor agents which inhibit de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis and whose cytotoxic properties are reversed by uridine....
