Abstract
Objective: A series of novel 2,4-diaminosubstituted pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidines was synthesized together with their corresponding 7-phenyl or 7-isopropyl counterparts.
Results: Among the target derivatives, the 7-substituted analogues exhibited interesting cytotoxic activity against a panel of PI3Kα related human breast cancer cell lines, namely MCF7, T47D, MDA-MB-231 and HCC1954. Selected compounds were tested for potential PI3Kα inhibitory activity as well as for their cytotoxic effect in prostate cancer cell lines (DU145 and PC3). Conclusion: Derivatives bearing a specific substitution pattern consisting of 7-phenyl as well as a 2-(4- aminocyclohexylamino) moiety (16c, 16f) display kinase inhibitory activity, elucidated on the basis of molecular simulation studies, which revealed their interaction with the DFG motif of the kinase.Keywords: 9-deazapurine, pyrrolo[3, 2-d]pyrimidine, cytotoxicity, breast cancer, PI3K inhibition, docking scoring, molecular dynamics.

Induction of cell death in cancer cells by modulating telomerase activity using small molecule drugs
Telomeres are distinctive but short stretches present at the corners of chromosomes and aid in stabilizing chromosomal makeup. Resynthesis of telomeres supported by the activity of reverse transcriptase ribonucleoprotein complex telomerase. There is no any telomerase activity in human somatic cells, but the stem cells and germ cells undergone telomerase ...read more
