Abstract

Herein, we designed and synthesized of a novel series of 7,8-dihydro-5H-thiopyrano[4,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives bearing chromone moiety (10a-j, 13a-j). All the compounds were evaluated for the IC50 values against five Cancer cell lines (A549, PC-3, MCF-7, Hela and HepG2). Seven of the target compounds exhibited moderate to excellent cytotoxicity. For these compounds, we tested their inhibitory activities against mTOR kinase, and four of them were tested their inhibitory activities against PI3Kα kinase in further. The results indicated that the optimized compound 10j showed excellent inhibitory activity and cytotoxicity against mTOR kinase, PI3Kα kinase and five Cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 1.1μM, 0.92μM and 8.77-14.3μM. Structure-activity relationships (SARs) and docking studies indicated that the thiopyrano[4,3-d]pyrimidine scaffolds exerted little effect on antitumor activities of target compounds. Substitutions of chromone moiety at C-6 position with carboxyl were benefit to the antitumor activities.
