Abstract

A preliminary library of modified N,O-nucleosides was prepared and tested on a selected number of human cancer lines that include SKOV3, SW480, and K562. Thymine, N-benzyl substituents, and aromatic rings contribute to an increase of the biological activity, up to 10–25 μM, that appeared also reliant on the calculated lipophilicity of the nucleosides, expressed as cLogP, where P represents the partition coefficient of a solute between n-octanol and water.
