Novel Cyanopyrimidine Derivatives as Potential Anticancer Agents.

ABSTRACT: The Bcl-2 family's anti-apoptotic proteins, particularly Mcl-1, offer a viable avenue for cancer treatment since cancer cells can undergo apoptosis when their selective suppression occurs. Mcl-1 is essential for controlling the advancement of the cell cycle, as well as apoptosis. There is a constant clinical need for more potent treatments for breast and ovarian malignancies, even with advancements in the discovery of anticancer drugs. By synthesizing cyanopyrimidine derivatives that demonstrate both dual inhibitory activity against Mcl-1 and Bcl-2, and successful cell cycle arrest, our research seeks to contribute to the development of innovative therapeutic medicines. We created a number of new 6-substituted cyanopyrimidines and tested their anticancer effects on SKOV-3 and MCF-7 cell li
