Pyrimidine-5-carbonitriles – part III: synthesis and antimicrobial activity of novel 6-(2-substituted propyl)-2,4-disubstituted pyrimidine-5-carbonitriles

Abstract: The reaction of 6-(2-methylpropyl or 2-phenylpropyl)-2-thiouracil-5-carbonitriles (4a,b) with various arylmethyl halides, 2-bromoethyl methyl ether, benzyl chloromethyl ether, and 2-bromomethyl-5-nitrofuran in N,N-dimethylformamide or acetone yielded the corresponding substituted thio-3,4-dihydro-4-oxopyrimidine-5-carbonitrile analogues 5a–h, 6a,b, 7, and 8a,b, respectively. Treatment of 5c with phosphorus oxychloride and N,N-dimethylaniline yielded the 4-chloropyrimidine derivative 9, which was allowed to react with various arylthiols, arylamines, and 1-substituted piperazines to yield the respective 4-arylthio 10a–d, 4-arylamino 11a–d, and 4-piperazino 12a,b derivatives. The newly synthesized compounds were tested for in vitro activities against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and the yeast-like pathogenic fungus Candida albicans. Compounds 5e, 5f, 5g,h, 7, 8a,b, and 12a display marked antibacterial activity, particularly against the Gram-positive bacteria. None of these compounds are active against C. albicans.
