In this study, we explored the key structural features of a purine‐based proapoptotic hit, 8‐tert‐butyl‐9‐phenyl‐6‐benzyloxy‐9Hpurine (1), by setting up a library of 6‐alkoxy purines with the aim of elucidating the structural requirements that govern its biological activity and to study the cell selectivity of this chemotype. This was done by a phenotypic screening approach based on cell cycle analysis of a panel of six human cancer cell lines, including T cell leukemia Jurkat cells. From this study, two derivatives (12 and 13) were identified as Jurkat‐selective proapoptotic compounds, displaying superior potency and cell selectivity than hit 1.}, organization = {Instituto de Salud Carlos III Spanish Government European Commission RTC-2017-6620}, organization = {Ministerio de Educacion, Cultura y Deporte FPU 14/00818}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH}, keywords = {Anticancer drugs}, keywords = {Apoptosis}, keywords = {Leukemia}, keywords = {Phenotypic screening}, keywords = {Purine analogs}, title = {Synthesis and screening of 6‐alkoxy purine analogs as cell type‐selective apoptotic inducers in Jurkat cells}, doi = {10.1002/ardp.202100095}, author = {Lorente Macías, Álvaro and Iáñez García, Inmaculada and Jiménez López, M.
