Synthesis, characterization and antibiotic evaluation of various biologically active derivatives of 4-Alkylpyrimidine-5-carbonitrile

Abstract

Extensive research work has been published on Tetrahydro and Dihydropyrimidine derivatives. Pyrimidine-5-Carbonitrile and its analogs have demonstrated a large number of activities. Some 6-Halogenosubstituted pyrimidine analogs have also been reported to be biologically active to a certain extent, but the literature survey reveals not much report on 6-alkylated pyrimidine derivatives. Targeting enhancement in biologically useful properties of a lead molecule through the association of it with active pharmacophoric groups or molecules is a conventional method in pharmaceutical research. With an aim to explore a better useful Dihydropyrimidine derivative, a newer 4-Alkylated-1,6-dihydropyrimidine analog (1) has been prepared. The lead molecule (1) has further been converted to amine derivative (2), hydrazino derivative (3) tri substituted s-triazinyl derivative (4), sulphonamide (5), Schiff’s base (6), a thiazolidinones (7), and 2-Azetidinones (8) respectively using various methods. Compounds 2, 4, 5, and 7 showed 50% and 8 showed 100% bacterial inhibition at 32μg/mL in single-point bacterial inhibition against various bacterial strains.
