3D-FM143807 - 1-2-methylthiopyrimidin-4-ylethanone

4-Chloro-6-methylthiopyrimidine

2-Methylthiopyrimidine-4,6-diamine is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme DNA polymerase. It has shown to be effective against hepg2 cells and other cancer cells. The compound binds covalently to the active site of the enzyme, where it stabilizes the transition state and deshields the electrostatic field around the nucleophilic nitrogen atom. This interaction leads to a decreased affinity for ATP, which is required for DNA synthesis. 2-Methylthiopyrimidine-4,6-diamine also has antimalarial activity and inhibits amide bond formation in hepg2 cells.

2-Methylthiopyrimidine is a pyrimido compound that has been shown to inhibit the growth of herpes simplex virus type-1. The synthesis of this molecule is based on an anthranilic acid derivative, which can be reacted with amines to form 2-methylthiopyrimidine and its isomers. This drug has been shown to react with chloride ions and carbon disulphide in metathesis reactions. 2-Methylthiopyrimidine has a pharmacophore that resembles the structure of nucleosides, which are found in many viruses. The chlorine atoms in the 2-methylthiopyrimidine molecule are positioned in such a way that they can bind to the phosphate groups on the surface of the virus, thereby blocking its ability to replicate.
