INDUCERS OF ENDOGENOUS INTERFERON IN THE SERIES OF 6-ARYLAMINO-PYRIMIDINE-2,4(1H,3H)-DIONES: FROM DESIGN TO PRACTICE
A series of 6-arylaminopyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones were synthesized via transamination of 6-aminouracil. Among the target compounds, 3-(2,6-dioxo-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrimidine-4-yl)aminobenzoic acid methyl ester proved to be an effective endogenous interferon inducer. During biological evaluation followed by a patenting procedure, the ester was assigned the ImmuVag international nonproprietary name.
