antifungal activity.

ABSTRACTThe substituted 4-(bromomethyl)-N-(4-ethyl-6-methylpyrimidin-2-yl) benzamide derivatives 6a-k has been synthesis from reaction in between substituted 4-ethyl-6-methylpyrimidin-2-amine and 4-(bromomethyl)benzoyl bromide 5 in presence of KOH. Type of aldol condensation reaction in between aldehydes and ketones to form ?,?-Unsaturated carbonyl compounds3 this compound has been reacted with guanidine in presence of dry alcohol to convert 4-ethyl-6-methylpyrimidin-2-amine4.Chemical structures of all the new compounds were established by IR, 1H, 13C NMR, MS and elemental data. The compounds 6a-k were evaluated for their antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria viz.  Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus sphaericus and Staphylococcus aureus, and three Gram-negative bacteria viz. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella aerogenes and Chromobacterium violaceum  and also evaluate their antifungal activity against Candida albicans (C.albicans)(ATCC 10231), Aspergillus fumigates(A.fumigatus) (HIC 6094), Trichophyton rubrum(T. rubrum) (IFO 9185), and Trichophyton mentagrophytes(T. mentagrophytes) (IFO 40996) Amongst them, compounds containing [3-hydrophenyl] moiety 6d, [3-chlorophenyl] moiety 6f and [4-nitrophenyl] moiety 6h showed significant antibacterial and antifungal activity, almost equal/more than the activity of the standard drugs Streptomycin and Amphotericin-B. Further, the compounds 6a-k were also screened for Most of these new compounds showed appreciable activity against test bacteria and fungi and emerged as potential molecules for further development.

Triazine backbone is present in a large number of bioactive substances and is known for their pharmacological activities like antimicrobial, antitumour and antiviral activity. Pyrazoles are another class of heterocyclic compounds associated with significant biological activities like anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant and antimicrobial activity. In this view, it was proposed to synthesize some novel pyrazolo[3,4-e][1,2,4]triazines from 3,7-dimethyl pyrazolo[4,3-e] oxadiazine. In the current investigation, ethyl acetoacetate was condensed with hydrazine hydrate in ethanol to give 3-methylpyrazol-5-one. The pyrazole derivative was brominated by using bromine in acetic acid as brominating agent to give 4, 4- dibromo-3-methylpyrazol-5-one. This compound was then cyclized with acetic anhydride and hydrazine hydrate to get 3, 7-dimethyl pyrazolo[4,3-e]oxadiazine. This compound on further reaction with different substituted amines generates 4-(aryl/heteroaryl)-3,7-dimethyl-pyrazolo [3,4-e][1,2,4]triazines. The synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activity against S. aureus strain of Gram positive, E. coli the strain of Gram negative and A. niger strain of fungus by standard methods. The results suggest that the compounds 4a and 4c exhibited significant antifungal activity. Gentamycin, ciprofloxacin, cefotaxime and amphotericine B were used as standard drugs. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed using analytical and spectral techniques (IR, 1H NMR and Mass spectral data).
