[摘要]：The synthesis of the novel 5-alkyl pyrimidine derivatives, 5,6-dihydrofuro[2,3-d] pyrimidines and 5-alkyl N-methoxymethyl pyrimidine derivatives and evaluation of their cytostatic activities are described. The mechanism of antiproliferative effect of 5-(2-chloroethyl)-substituted pyrimidine 3 that exerted the pronounced cytostatic activity was studied in further details on colon carcinoma (HCT116) cells. The cell cycle perturbation analysis demonstrated severe DNA damage (G2/M arrest) pointing to a potential DNA alkylating ability of 3. Preliminary ADME data of 3 and its 6-methylated structural congener (6-Me-3) showed their high permeability and good metabolic stability. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
