In the search for new derivatives with anticancer activity that are able to induce a selective proapoptotic mechanism in cancer cells, we have designed, synthesized, and evaluated a series of new 2-(alkylsulfanyl)-N-alkylpyrido[2,3- d]pyrimidine-4-amine derivatives as cytotoxic and apoptosis inducers. The potential antitumor activity of the compounds was evaluated in vitro by examining their cytotoxic effects against human breast, colon, and bladder cancer-cell lines. The IC50 values of the compounds that showed cytotoxic activity were calculated. The cytotoxic compounds were then tested for their ability to induce caspase-3 activation and nuclear-chromatin degradation. Some compounds, such as 6c, 6d, 6e, 6j, 6o, and 6p, show significant in-vitro cytotoxicity in at least two of the three tested cell lines, induced apoptosis, and also produced a rapid dose-dependent increase in the caspase-3 level in some of the cell lines tested. In order to test the selectivity of the compounds, two non-tumoral human cell lines were used. Several compounds of the did not show cytotoxicity in these cell lines.

A series of pyridines and other six-membered ring heterocycles connected to a biphenyltetrazole with a-CH2-NR'-link (1) were discovered to be potent angiotensin II antagonists.In the pyrimidine carboxylic acid series (W = CR, X = N, Y = CH, Z = COOH), compounds with an alkyl group (R') on the exocyclic nitrogen were much more potent than compounds with an alkyl group (R) on the heterocyclic ring.The corresponding pyridine, pyridazine, pyrazine, and 1,2,4-triazine carboxylic acids also showed potent in vitro angiotensin II antagonism.The pyridine (W, X, Y = CH, Z = COOH, R' = n-C3H7) demonstrated potent in vitro activity (pA2 = 10.10, rabbit aorta, and Ki = 0.61 nM, receptor binding in rat liver) as well as exceptional oral antihypertensive activity and bioavailability.Any nonacidic replacement for the carboxylic acid was detrimental for activity.
