Synthesis and in vivo diuretic activity of some novel pyrimidine derivatives

摘要

A series of 1,6-dihydropyrimidine-2-amine derivatives and 1,6-dihydropyrimidine-2-thiol derivatives were synthesized by the reaction of substituted 1,3-diphenylprop-2-en-1-one (chalcones) with guanidine hydrochloride and thiourea, respectively. All the synthesized compounds were in good agreement with elemental and spectral data. The synthesized compounds were screened in vivo for diuretic activity. The four compounds 2d, 2e, 3d and 3e, which showed moderate to good diuretic activity, were evaluated for their toxicity studies and none of the compounds showed any toxicity of the liver as compared with control. However, compounds 3e and 3d showed diuretic properties more than that of standard (acetazolamide) and were long acting. Overall, compound 3e, 6-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-4-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-2-thiol, was found to be the most promising candidate of the series.
