Abstract

New 5-chloro-6-substituted-uracil derivatives have been prepared by microwave assisted- synthesis and tested in vitro as thymidine phosphorylase inhibitors. One of these compounds showed potent inhibitory activity, with an IC50 value in the submicromolar range. The biological activity of the new compounds is discussed in terms of structure– activity relationship.
