Description
Summary:Objective: Many derivatives of pyrimidine are known for the broad-spectrum biological activities such as antimicrobial, antitumor, antibacterial, antitubercular, anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxic activity. Chalcones with an enone group show potent pharmacological activities such as antiinflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, and antimalarial activity. A series of pyrimidines from chalcones have been synthesized and screened for anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic activity studies.Methods: Chalcones [1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-substituted-phenylprop-2-en-1-one] were synthesized from various substituted aldehydes with 4-nitroacetophenone and cyclized with urea and glacial acetic acid to give pyrimidine derivatives [4-(4-nitrophenyl)-6-substituted-phenylpyrimidin-2-ol].Results: Anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic activity studies revealed that some of the synthesized compounds have shown significant activity.Conclusion: The observed results proved that pyrimidines are found to be interesting lead molecules for the synthesis of anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic agents
