Transition metal complex catalysed cocyclotrimerization of 6-alkynylpurines 1 with various diynes 2 and 6-(diynyl)purines 4 with nitriles 5 enabled to synthesize series of substituted 6-arylpurines 3 and 6-heteroarylpurines 6 in good yields. The obtained 6-aryl- and 6-heteroarylpurines were tested for cytostatic activity.
