Abstract

A number of 5-substituted pyrimidine acyclic nucleosides were synthesized and tested for invitor cytotoxicity against four cell lines (j-82 cell, p-388 cell, FM-3A cell and U-938 cell lines). Synthesis of 1-cyanomethyl-5-substituted pyrimidines (1a-e) and 1-(4-cyanobutyl)-5-substituted pyrimidines (2a-e) was acomplished from the series of alkylation reactions ofl 5-substituted uracils with the corresponding chloacetonitrile and 5-chlorovaleronitile in DMSO under $50^{\circ}C$ temperature. These 5-substituted pyrimidine acylic nucleosides (1a-e and 2a-e) exhibited moderate to significant acitivity aginst four cell lines.
