Abstract
Incorporation of heterocyclic pyrimidine or pyridine motifs is common in the drug design for various therapeutic applications. Herein, we describe the facile synthesis of two molecules containing both pyrimidine and pyridine scaffolds. A variety of analytical techniques (multinuclear NMR, Fourier transform infrared, and mass spectrometry analyses) confirmed the purity of these molecules. In pristine form, their potential as antitumor drugs was screened by investigating their cytotoxicity against various cell lines (cancerous and normal cells). Experimental results confirmed that the two molecules exhibited cell growth inhibition at very low concentrations. This was evident from their IC50 values that are in the range of 0.45–2.20 μM.
