Abstract

In the present work, we had synthesized some novel pyrimidine-2,4-diones by condensing various substituted amines with 3-substituted -6-chlorouracil. The structure of the synthesized compounds was characterized using physical & spectral data. Novel pyrimidine-2,4-(1H,3H)-diones were then screened for their antimicrobial profile using Kirby Bauer Disc Diffusion(KBDD) method. The anti-bacterial data reveals that compounds OBP-08 and OBP-10 had better activity against tested gram-positive organism whereas OBP-06 found to have better anti-fungal activity than rest of the compounds when tested against Aspergillus niger & Penicillium marneffei . This study lead us to conclude that pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones may be the desired scaffold to generate lead anti-infective agents. © 2011 IGJPS. All rights reserved.
