The cascade reaction of N-aryl-5-{[(dimethylamino)methylene]amino}-4-cyanoimidazoles with primary aromatic amines, under reflux in acetic acid, proved to be a general and efficient method for the regioselective synthesis of 6-arylaminopurines. A selection of these compounds was tested in breast cancer cell models MCF-7 and Hs578t and five compounds proved to be highly active and non-toxic to the non-neoplastic cell line MCF-10A. Furthermore, the compounds demonstrated apoptosis-inducing capacity in the cancer cells.
