Eight new 4,5-disubstituted-6-methyl-1,2,3,4- tetrahydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one derivatives are synthesized by three steps. All synthesized compounds are confirmed by IR, Mass and H1NMR. Antibacterial activity is carried out by filter disc method. All test compounds are active against the gram negative E.coli and in higher concentration active against the gram positive S.aureus. Compounds 6b and 6e are more potent among synthesized series.

Introduction |
||||||||||
| The treatment of many infectious diseases arechallenging due to resistance to antimicrobial agents.The emergence of resistance among bacteria to awide variety of structurally unrelated antibacterialagents such as 6-lactams, macrolides, tetracyclinesand fluoroquinolones as well as selected dyes anddisinfectants has become a serious public healthconcern so makes it necessary to continue the searchfor new antibacterial agents. | ||||||||||
| In recent scenario heterocycles plays a major rule indrug synthesis. In that respect pyrimidine plays asignificant rule among other heterocycles. From theliterature survey, in recent years 4,5-disubstituted-6-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one haveattracted considerable interest because of theirtherapeutic and pharmacological properties. Severalof them have been found to exhibit a wide spectrumof biological effects including antimicrobial,antitumour, antiviral, antihypertensive, calciumchannel blocker, alpha-1a adrenergic antagonist, neuropeptide antagonist. So it was planed tosynthesize a novel series of 4,5-disubstituted-6-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-2(1H)-onederivatives and to check their activity asantimicrobial activity.1-2 | ||||||||||

Purity of compounds was checkedby thin layer chromatography (TLC) on silica gel G insolvent system hexane-ethyl acetate (1:2), the spotswere located under iodine vapours or UV light. IRspectra of all compounds were recorded on FT-IR8400S Shimadzu spectrophotometer using KBr.Mass spectra were obtained using 2010EV LCMSShimadzu instrument. | ||||||||||

| 4-(4-substitutedphenyl)-6-methyl-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid (0.01mole)was refluxed with 15ml of thionyl chloride for30mins. Unreacted thionyl chloride was removed byheating the reaction mixture on water-bath. Aftercooling the acid chloride product, 3 to 4 times ofdifferent amines and ethanol as reaction medium was added. Reaction mixture was stirred for 5 hrs thenadded cold water to the reaction mixture. Precipitatewas obtained, which was filtered and recrystallizedfrom ethanol. (6a-6h) | ||||||||||

Antibacterial Activity6,7 |
||||||||||
| The microbiological assay is based upon acomparison of inhibition of growth of microorganismsby measured concentrations of testcompounds with that produced by knownconcentration of a standard antibiotic ciprofloxacinusing microorganisms Staphylococcus aureus(MTCC No. 96) and Escherichia coli (MTCC No.521). | ||||||||||
| A filter paper sterilized disk saturated with measuredquantity of the sample was placed on plate containingsolid bacterial medium (nutrient agar broth) whichhas been heavily seeded with spore suspension of thetested organisms. After inoculation, the diameter ofthe clear zone of inhibition surrounding the samplehas been taken as measure of inhibitory power ofsample against the particular test organisms. | ||||||||||
