New amides of 5-(4-chlorobenzoyl)aminoorotic acid: their synthesis and biological activity

Arch Pharm (Weinheim). 2008 Nov;341(11):677-89. doi: 10.1002/ardp.200800034.

Abstract

The synthesis and in-vitro biological evaluation of the amide series 4 of 5-(4-chlorobenzoyl)aminoorotic acid 2 are presented. The biological properties of a few 5-(4-chlorobenzoyl)amino-2,6-dihydroxy-N-substituted-4-pyrimidinecarboxamide derivatives 4 tested here were compared with those of the isosteric isothiazole derivative MR-2/94 (5-(4-chlorobenzoyl)amino-N-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-4-isothiazolecarboxamide), which possesses a strong immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory activity [1, 2], It must be suggested that replacement of the isothiazole by a pyrimidine core ring system resulted in considerable lowering of the anti-inflammatory and immunotropic actions of the obtained amides. Physicochemical properties of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-6,8-dihydroxy-4H-pyrimido[5,4-d]-1,3-oxazin-4-on 3 are also briefly described.
