Abstract:
A series of imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine Mannich bases were designed, synthesized in two phases. Mannich bases were obtained by one pot three component condensation of imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine with secondary amine or piperazine and excess of formaldehyde solution in methanol. The synthesized Mannich bases were screened for in vitro growth inhibition against a panel of 3 different human cancer cell lines. Most of the synthesized compounds exhibited antiproliferative activity with GI50 values ranging from 0.01 to 79.4 μM. Compounds 5e, 6b and 7k were found to be effective inhibitors of growth of all cell lines, with GI50 values similar to that of standard drug. The structure and activity relationship has been disclosed.

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
