Abstract

A series of 10 derivatives of 5-(5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-yl)-3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-4-phenyl-pyrimidin-2(1H)-one and 10 derivatives of 3,4-dihydro-5-(5-mercapto-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-6-methyl-4-phenyl pyrimidin-2(1H)-one have been synthesized. Among the synthesized derivatives, triazole substituted compounds have shown higher antibacterial inhibition when compared to the thiadiazole derivatives. All the structures of the newly synthesized compounds have been characterized by IR, 1H and 13C NMR, GC-MS and CHN analysis. Most of the compounds have shown promising antibacterial activity when compared with the standard drug ciprofloxacin.

A series of ten derivatives of 5-(5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-yl)-3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-4-phenylpyrimidin-2(1H)-one and ten derivatives of 3,4-dihydro-5-(5-mercapto-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-6-methyl-4-phenyl pyrimidin-2(1H)-one have been synthesized and structures characterized. Among the synthesized derivatives, triazole substituted compounds have shown higher antibacterial inhibition when compared to the thiadiazole derivatives.
