title: Design, synthesis, spectral analysis and in vitro microbiological evaluation of 2-phenyl-3-(4,6-diarylpyrimidin-2-yl)thiazolidin-4-ones.
abstract: A series of novel 2-phenyl-3-(4,6-diarylpyrimidin-2-yl)thiazolidin-4-ones 23-33 were synthesized, and studied for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities against clinically isolated strains. Generally compounds possessing electron donating groups showed good antibacterial activity. Compound 31, which contain both electron withdrawing chloro and electron donating methyl groups showed potent activity against all the tested Gram positive and Gram negative bacterial strains whereas compounds 32 and 33 which contain electron donating methoxy functional group at the para position of the phenyl ring attached to pyrimidine ring showed promising activity against S.aureus, S.typhii and E.coli. Compounds 32 and 33, both containing electron withdrawing groups (-Cl, -F) showed excellent activities against all the tested A. flavus, Mucor, Rhizopus and M.gypsuem fungal strains. while against Mucor, compound 27 which contains an electron donating methyl group at the para position of the phenyl ring attached to pyrimidine ring showed promising activity. Also compound 31, which contains both electron withdrawing chloro and electron donating methyl groups showed potent activity against A. flavus and Rhizopus.
