Synthesis of some new pyrimidine derivatives as potential anticancer and anti-HIV agent.

Several 2,4-diaminopyrimidines have been synthesized and tested for their anticancer and anti-HIV activities. Out of these, eight compounds displayed significant activity against leukemia, melanoma, non-small cell and CNS cancer. Two compounds were active against leukemia P388. One compound has been found to be moderately active as compared to AZT.
