Synthesis of novel substituted pyrimidine derivatives bearing a sulfamide group and their in vitro cancer growth inhibition activity.

Abstract The synthesis of two series of novel substituted pyrimidine derivatives bearing a sulfamide group have been described and their in vitro cancer growth inhibition activities have been evaluated against three human tumour cell lines (HT-29, M21, and MCF7). In general, growth inhibition activity has been enhanced by the introduction of a bulky substituent on the aromatic ring with the best compound having GI 50
