Two isomeric sets of 4-substituted pyridopyrrolopyrimidine nucleobases were prepared through nucleophilic substitutions or cross-coupling reactions of 4-chloropyridopyrrolopyrimidines. The corresponding 4-amino-pyridopyrrolopyrimidines were glycosylated with 5- O -tritylribose using the modified Mitsunobu protocol. Several examples of the title heterocycles showed blue or green fluorescence. Testing of the pyridopyrrolopyrimidine nucleobases for the cytotoxic effect revealed micromolar activity of 4-benzofuryl derivatives in both series, preferentially in multidrug-resistant cancers.
