Abstract
Several functionalized thienopyrimidines were synthesized by a facile synthetic method, which includes Gewald's reaction, and were characterized by spectral and analytical data. These functionalized thienopyrimidines were converted to various new chemical entities of biological importance, such as 2-piperazinymethyl thienopyrimidines (6, 8), 4-dimethylaminoethoxy thienopyrimidines (11), and 3-dimethylaminoethyl thienopyrimidines (12). All the compounds thus synthesized were screened for their invitro biological activities. Some of the compounds displayed promising serotonin 5-HT6 receptor antagonist activities.
