INTRODUCTION:

Literature survey has revealed the importance of pyrimidine derivatives and antimicrobial agent1, which are found to be associated with variety of biological activities such as insecticidal, antimicrobial, antiviral etc, pyrimidine derivatives2-8 are powerful C-C bond formation process has wide applications for the preparation of diverse amino alkyl derivatives.  It involves the condensation of a compound capable of supplying one or more active hydrogen atom with aldehyde and primary or secondary amine.  Mannich bases are physiologically reactive because of the basic function rendering the molecule soluble in aqueous solvent when it is transformed into ammonium salt.

 

Several medicinally useful Mannich bases have been reviewed by Tromontini and Angiolini9. Besides this, considerable work has been reported on synthesis and pharmacological activities of various Mannich bases for analogies, antispasmodic, anesthetic and antimalarial as well as intermediates in drug synthesis.  Antiviral properties of certain thiourea and urea derivatives have been reported in which the antiviral effect is attributed to the presence of an intact NH-(C=S)-NH and NH-(C=O)-NH grouping10.  In this direction the synthesis and pharmacological study of Mannich bases of 3-and 5-mercapto derivatives of 1,3,4-thiadiazole have been reported in literature11-16.  Further, pyrimidine, fused heterocyclic pyrimidine derivatives and dihydropyrimidones are well known for their potential biological activity such as antiviral, antitumor, antimicrobial fungicide, algaecide and as antibiotics17-26.   Moreover, the presences of different interacted functional groups determine their great synthetic potential. In continuation of this work, herein is reported that the synthesis and in vitro study of antibacterial activity of heterocyclic N-Mannich bases of 5-(5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2yl)-3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-4-phenylpyrimidin-2(1H)-thione (3f-j) against the species of Candida tropicalis, Aspergillus terreus and Penicillium sps.  Amphotericin-B is used as standard drug.  For this purpose, heterocyclic precursors DHPMs (1f-j) are synthesized by microwave irradiation of aromatic aldehydes, ethylacetoacetate and thiourea according to the literature procedure27,28. Subsequently, these DHPMs are used to synthesis compounds (2f-j).  All the synthesized compounds are characterized by using elemental analysis, mass spectra, 1H& 13CNMR spectral studies.

 

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Melting points are determined using open capillary method and are uncorrected. The compounds are checked for homogeneity by TLC on silica gel-G.  The IR spectra are recorded on FT-IR Thermo Nicolet Avatar 370 spectrophotometer using KBr disc method.  The 1H and 13C-NMR are recorded on Bruker Avance-III 400MHz FTNMR spectrometer using DMSO-d6.  Elemental analyses are recorded on Elemental Vario EL III instrument.  The mass spectrums are recorded on Joel GC-mate spectrometer. All compounds given satisfactory micro analytical results.  Pyrimidine (1) is prepared by reported method27.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:

Compounds (3f-j) are synthesized as per the scheme 1 and 2. The compound 3f is prepared by reacting hydrazine carbothioamide compound 2f with conc.H2SO4 and NH3. Hydrazine carbothioamide compound 2f is synthesized by reacting pyrimidine ethyl ester 1 with thiosemicarbazide is irradiated in a domestic microwave oven (200W) for 2 minutes29. The reaction mixture is allowed to cool and the obtained solid is recrystallized from ethanol.

 

The pyrimidine ethyl ester compound 1f prepared by a mixture of aromatic aldehyde (0.01mol), ethylacetoacetate (0.01mol) and urea (0.01mol) is mixed thoroughly with 0.15 mole of tin (II) chloride as catalyst in a conical flask. The content of the flask is irradiated in a domestic microwave oven (400W) for 6 minutes. The completion of the reaction is monitored by TLC. 

The structures of the synthesized compounds are confirmed by IR, 1H and 13C-NMR, GC-MS and CHN analysis.  Formation of compound 2f is confirmed by the presence of N-H stretching peaks at 3328, 3172 cm-1  and 3106 cm-1 and C=S stretching peaks at 1669 cm-1 in IR and singlet at 6.68 for NH2 group in 1HNMR  spectra. 

 

Treatment of compound 2f with conc.H2SO4 and NH3, ­furnished 5-(5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-4-phenylpyrimidin-2(1H)-one(3f-j). The structure of 3f is elucidated on the basis of C-S linkage in the thiadiazole ring, which causes sharp absorption band at 1195 cm-1 in its IR spectrum. 1HNMR spectrum shows a singlet at δ4.03 due to NH2 functional group of 3f

 

The IR spectral data reveals the carbonyl absorption band at 1282 cm-1 of NH-CS-NH group, N-N stretching band at1001 cm-1 aliphatic C-H and aromatic C-H stretching at 2979 cm-1 and 3033 cm‑1 group of pyrimidine moiety 3f. Mass spectrum also supported the proposed structure by viewing molecular ion peak at m/z 303 M+.

Antifungal studies

Among the newly synthesized pyrimidine derivatives are screened for their antifungal activity in vitro against the species of Candida  tropicalis, Aspergillus terreus and Penicillium sps using agar well disk diffusion method.  The test compounds are dissolved in DMSO to get a solution of 50µg/ml concentration. The inhibition zones are measured in millimeters at the end of an incubation period of 18 hrs at 370C. Amphotericin-B is used as a standard and the results are shown in Table 3.  Most of the tested compounds show moderate to good inhibition.

CONCLUSION:

The investigation of antifungal screening data reveals that, all the tested compounds show moderate to good inhibition at 50µg/ml concentration. Especially the compound 3f, 3g and 3h shows very good activity than the others. However the activity of compounds 3f, 3g and 3h against the Aspergillus terreus inhibition is more compared to the standard drug.
