Abstract

Based on one of the four major categories of scaffold hopping theory namely hetrocycle replacements, a series of 5-arylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines had been prepared and evaluated as anti-breast Cancer agents. Optimization by combination of different pharmacophores with the thienopyrimidine scaffold led to discovery of biologically active compounds.
