Abstract: | In the course of our investigations of pyrimidines as antimycotic agents, we have identified a sub-class, with significant in vitro activity against mycobacteria. The salient feature of these pyrimidine derivatives (3a-o and 7a,b) is their appended aryl, heteroaryl and alkylthio substituent at position 6 and also alkylthio substituent at position 2. The rational design, synthesis, and evaluation of the in vitro antibacterial activity against six pathogenic bacteria including virulent and non-virulent strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is described. Some of the synthesized compounds (3c, 3h, 3i, 3o) have displayed only potent in vitro antimycobacterial activity with MIC of 0.75 microg/mL except 3i which also demonstrated activity against Escherichia coli at 12.5 microg/mL concentration. Only two compounds, 3a and 3b, demonstrated antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and E. coli with MIC 12.5 microg/mL. All the synthesized compounds were also evaluated for their antimycotic activity against five pathogenic fungi but only some of them 3j-n and 7a,b were found most potent against Aspergillus fumigatus and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. |
