5-Ethyl-6-(1-naphthylmethyl)uracil and 5-ethyl-6-(1-naphthylmethyl)-2-thiouracil were alkylated to give, respectively. N-1 and S2, ethoxymethyl and methylthiomethyl uracil derivatives. 5-Ethyl-6-(1-naphthylmethyl)-2-thiouracil was also S2 alkylated with methyl bromoacetate. The products showed activity against HIV-1, and the N-1 alkylated derivatives were indeed highly active.
