Mono-substituted sodium salts of 5-fluoro-, 5-chloro-, 5-bromo-, and 5-iodouracil were synthesized. The toxicity and effect of the synthesized compounds on the DNA-binding activity of transcription factors CREB, NFAT, NF-κB, p53, STAT1, GAS, VDR, HSF1, and HIF1á were studied. It was found that the sodium salts of 5-chloro-, 5-bromo-, and 5-iodouracil did not exhibit cytotoxicity comparable with that of the sodium salt of 5-fluorouracil.
