An efficient synthetic route to a series of substituted 2-aminopyrimidine (2-AP) derivatives has been developed. Subsequent biofilm screening has allowed comparison between the biological activity of these new derivatives and that of the 2-aminoimidazole class of anti-biofilm compounds. Several derivatives displayed the ability to modulate bacterial biofilm formation, exhibiting greater activity against Gram-positive strains than Gram-negative strains. Additionally some 2-aminopyrmidines were able to suppress MRSA resistance to conventional antibiotics.

Synthesis, molecular dynamics simulation and antimicrobial activity of novel s-triazine clubbed with three different hybrid pharmacophores.

Biochem Biophys Res Commun

January 2025

Molecular Biophysics and Structural Biology (MBSB) Group, Department of Biochemistry, University of Johannesburg, Auckland Park Kingsway Campus, 2006, South Africa. Electronic address:

To address microbial infections and combat drug resistance, we designed, synthesized, and evaluated three novel s-triazine clubbed pharmacophores: 1-acetylpyrazoline (5a-e), 2-aminopyrimidine (6a-e), and 1,5-benzodiazepine (7a-e). These were derived from chalcone (4a-e), showing improved pharmacological profiles. The compounds underwent characterization by FTIR, NMR, and Mass Spectroscopy, and their antimicrobial activities, along with structure-activity relationships (SAR), were assessed using in silico and in vitro methods.

This report explores the potential of novel 6-aryloxy-2-aminopyrimidine-benzonitrile scaffolds as promising anti-infective agents in the face of the increasing threat of infectious diseases. Starting from 2-amino-4,6-dichloropyrimidine, a series of 24 compounds inspired from the antiviral drugs dapivirine, etravirine, and rilpivirine were designed and synthesized via a two-step reaction sequence in good yields. Biological testing of synthetic analogs revealed potent inhibition against both viral and tuberculosis targets.

Article Synopsis
  • Co-inhibiting histone deacetylase (HDAC) and cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) works together to improve cancer treatment effectiveness and help combat drug resistance.
  • Researchers developed new dual inhibitors targeting CDK9 and HDAC1, with one compound showing strong inhibitory effects and ability to kill cancer cells.
  • The study also identified a FLT3/HDAC dual inhibitor that effectively induces apoptosis in specific cancer cell lines, marking significant progress in anticancer drug development.

Novel EGFR inhibitors against resistant L858R/T790M/C797S mutant for intervention of non-small cell lung cancer.

Eur J Med Chem

November 2024

Eye Institute, Nankai University, 94 Weijin Road, Tianjin, 300071, China; School of Medicine, Nankai University, 94 Weijin Road, Tianjin, 300071, China. Electronic address:

To overcome C797S mutation, the latest and most common resistance mechanism in the clinical treatment of third-generation EGFR inhibitor, a novel series of substituted 6-(2-aminopyrimidine)-indole derivatives were designed and synthesized. Through the structure-activity relationship (SAR) study, compound 11eg was identified as a novel and potent EGFR inhibitor (IC = 0.053 μM) but had a weak effect on EGFR (IC = 1.

Spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) is a key signal transduction mediator of the B cell receptor (BCR) signaling pathway. Abnormal BCR signaling plays a key role in initiation and development of B-cell-derived hematological malignancies, therefore, Syk represents a potential target for inhibiting the BCR signaling resulting in a therapeutic effect in these cancers. Herein, we describe a novel series of SYK inhibitors with 4-(3'-pyrazolyl)-2-amino-pyrimidine scaffold.
