Synthesis, Characterization and Evaluation of some newer Pyrimidine derivatives as Anti-inflammatory Agents

Abstract

Pyrimidine is an important baseone of the base formed by hydrolysis of nucleosides. It is an interesting molecule in the medicinal chemistry because of its diversified biological activities. Alloxan which is an oxidation product of Uric acid is also a pyrimidine derivative of interest to a medicinal chemist. Several pyrimidines are reported as antimicrobial, analegesic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiparasitic agents. Pyrimidine scaffold is considered as an interesting one due to its various pharmacological properties. In this scheme, an attempt is made to carry out synthesis of some new pyrimidine derivatives. The Starting material Chalcone is synthesized by condensation of various aromatic aldehyde and aromatic ketone. Chalcone is then treated with thiourea and KOH in presence of ethanol to yield pyrimidine derivatives. Then those pyrimidine derivatives were subjected to alkylation and acetylation. The synthesized compounds were characterized and confirmed by IR and 1HNMR spectroscopy and then evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity. The anti-inflammatory activity of newly synthesized pyrimidine derivatives were carried out by the carrageenan induced rat hind paw edema method by taking Diclofenac sodium as standard.
