The tetra-hydro-pyrimidinone ring in the title compound, C(20)H(20)N(2)O(2), is in a half-boat conformation with the N-C-N C atom 0.580 (2) Å out of the plane defined by the remaining five atoms. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are connected into centrosymmetric dimers via N-H⋯O inter-actions. The dimeric aggregates are linked into supra-molecular chains along the a axis via C-H⋯π inter-ac...

A short oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) with 2-(1H)-pyrimidinone at the HhaI DNA methyltransferase target site (GCGC) is shown to induce a level of inhibition of methyl transfer and thermal stability of the complex with the enzyme identical to that achieved with a similar ODN substituted with 5-azacytosine. The drugs responsible for these effects-zebularine and 5-azacytidine/2'-deoxy-5-azacytidine-a...

In the title compound, C(19)H(12)N(2)O(3), the 1-benzofuro[3,2-d]pyrimidinone unit is approximately planar, the maximum deviation from the mean plane being 0.045 (1) Å. The attached phenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 86.73 (6)° with the fused ring system. The packing of the mol-ecules in the crystal structure is mainly governed by C-H⋯π hydrogen-bonding inter-actions.

In the title compound, C(23)H(21)FN(6)O, the dihedral angle between the fluoro-phenyl and pyrimidinone rings is 75.9 (1)°, and the dihedral angle between the methyl-phenyl and pyrazole rings is 40.3 (1)°. In the crystal structure, weak C-H⋯π(arene) and C-N⋯π(arene) inter-actions and intermolecular C-H⋯N and N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions are present.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(36)H(39)FN(4)OS, the two fused rings of the thienopyrimidine system are coplanar. The 4-fluoro-phenyl ring is twisted with respect to the heterocyclic pyrimidinone ring by 67.21 (14)°. The piperidine ring shows a half-chair conformation. One of the n-butyl chains is disordered equally over two sites. The crystal packing is stabilized by C-H⋯O hy...

In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(18)H(22)N(2)O(3), the dihydro-pyrimidinone ring adopts an envelope conformation. The dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and the mean plane through the enamine fragment is 86.04 (7)°. The mol-ecular conformation is stabilized by an intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link pairs of mol-ecules into ...

We have investigated the effect of pyrimidinone molecule 2-amino-5-iodo-6-phenyl-4 pyrimidinone (AIPP) on natural killer (NK) cell lytic potential and on the growth of ascitic mammary adenocarcinoma, ACA-755, in B6D2F1 mice. Our studies demonstrated that AIPP was effective in both the prophylaxis and the therapy of this tumor and that the antitumor effect was mediated via induction of NK cell l...
