Synthesis and biological evaluation of 4-alkylamino-6-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-methylthiopyrimidines as new rubella virus inhibitors

In the search for new chemotherapeutic agents useful against Rubella virus (RV) infections, a solution-phase parallel approach for the synthesis of a small library of 4-alkylamino-6-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-methylthiopyrimidines has been set up, based on previous results from our research group. Biological evaluation of the newly synthesized compounds pointed out their interesting properties as anti-RV agents with IC50 values in the micromolar range.
