Summary: The base promoted tandem annulation reaction of activated cyclic 1,3-dipolarophiles with functionalized furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-diones provided efficient synthetic protocols for complex dispiro/dispiro fused tricyclic compounds. This reaction proceeded via sequential ring-opening, formal [3 + 2] cycloaddition, and annulation processes.

Summary: In this study, two series of EGFR kinase inhibitors were designed and synthesised. Compound B1 showed selective inhibition against EGFR (L858R/T790M) with an IC50 value of 13 nM and a 76-fold selectivity for EGFR (WT). In vitro experiments demonstrated that compound B1 effectively inhibited proliferation of H1975 cells with an IC50 value of 0.087 μM. Mechanistic studies confirmed the selective inhibition of EGFR (L858R/T790M) by compound B1 through cell migration and apoptosis assays.

Summary: In this study, furo[2,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones were synthesized by microwave-assisted radical cyclizations. The reaction was performed between 2-hydroxy-4H-pirido[1,2-a]pirimidin-4-ones and conjugated alkenes and phenylacetylene using Mn(OAc)(3) as a catalyst. Different reaction conditions were compared to optimize the reaction. The obtained compounds were characterized using spectroscopic techniques and XRD analysis.

Summary: We have developed a straightforward method for the synthesis of 5-substituted tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrido[2,3-e]pyrimidines from 2,4-diazidopyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine through SnAr reactions with N-, O-, and S- nucleophiles. The N- and S-substituted products were obtained in good yields (47% to 98%), while the substitution with O-nucleophiles gave lower yields (20-32%). The fused tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives can be functionalized through copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC) and Staudinger reactions due to the presence of a sufficient concentration of the reactive azide tautomer.

Summary: A facile one-pot condensation protocol was developed for the combinatorial synthesis of furo[2,3-d]pyrimidinone and pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidinone library from 2-amino furans/pyrroles. Both furo[2,3-d]pyrimidinones and pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidinones exhibited anticancer activity against human cancer cell lines, with derivative 12n showing high activity against HeLa cell line.

Summary: Tuberculosis (TB) is a major cause of death worldwide. In this study, a library of 7H-Pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives was synthesized to develop new anti-TB compounds. Sixteen compounds showed activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, with the most potent derivative having a MIC90 value of 0.488 μM and no cytotoxicity. These findings suggest that these compounds have potential for further drug development and optimization.

Summary: A series of 1H-indeno[2',1'-5,6]dihydropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine and 1H-indeno[2',1'-5,6]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized and screened for their activity against parasites and viral RNase H. Some compounds exhibited significant activity against Toxoplasma gondii parasites and Leishmania major amastigotes, suggesting further investigation is warranted. A HIV-1 RNase H assay was used to study the RNase H inhibition of selected compounds, and docking simulations were performed to investigate their binding to the active site of the HIV-1 RNase H enzyme. Compound 2a, which was inactive against parasites, showed distinct HIV-1 RNase H inhibitory activity, suggesting that ring substitution determines the antiparasitic or HIV-1 RNase H inhibitory activity of this compound class.

Summary: Oncogene KRAS plays important roles in human cancers by regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration. Recent advancements have shown that targeting KRAS G12C directly with allosteric inhibitors that bind to the switch II pocket is feasible. In this study, a series of pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives were designed and synthesized, leading to the discovery of compound 50 with high KRAS/SOS1 inhibitory potency and strong anti-proliferation activities on cancer cells harboring KRAS p.G12C. Compound 50 also exhibited satisfactory selectivity, moderate pharmacokinetic characteristics, and good anticancer effects in vivo.

Summary: The fused heterocyclic ring system of thienopyrimidine scaffold has been widely used in pharmaceuticals to enhance pharmacological and biological activities. In this study, polysubstituted thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized and tested for their cytotoxic activity against Hela and A549 cancer cell lines. Compound 8c showed promising activity similar to the lead drug Olmutinib, and its binding to EGFR kinase differed from Olmutinib. The preliminary structure-activity relationship suggested that introducing oxygen substituents favored antitumor activity.

Summary: This article describes a mild and selective C6 arylation strategy for pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives using arylboronic acids at room temperature. The unified protocol combines Pd(II)/TEMPO catalysis and CF3CO2H promotion under silver-, base-, and additive-free conditions. The broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, excellent regioselectivity, and air and moisture tolerant conditions make this process attractive for the effective synthesis and modification of targeted small molecule drugs.
