Microwave assisted synthesis of 2-amino-4-chloro-pyrimidine derivatives: Anticancer and computational study on potential inhibitory action against COVID-19.

ABSTRACT: We report microwave synthesis of seven unique pyrimidine anchored derivatives (1-7) incorporating multifunctional amino derivatives along with their in vitro anticancer activity and their activity against COVID-19 in silico. 1-7 were characterized by different analytical and spectroscopic techniques. Cytotoxic activity of 1-7 was tested against HCT116 and MCF7 cell lines, whereby 6 exhibited highest anticancer activity on HCT116 and MCF7 with EC₅₀ values of 89.24 ± 1.36 µM and 89.37 ± 1.17 µM, respectively. Molecular docking was performed for derivatives (1-7) on main protease for SARS-CoV-2 (PDB ID: 6LU7). Results revealed that most of the derivatives had superior or equivalent affinity for the 3CLpro, as det
