Syntheses of novel antimycobacterial combinatorial libraries of structurally diverse substituted pyrimidines by three-component solid-phase reactions.

A new pyrimidine based scaffold has been developed by three-component solid-phase syntheses. The utility of scaffolds was demonstrated by synthesizing libraries of 80 substituted pyrimidines (a-p), (a-p), 14(a-p), 15(a-p), 16(a-p). Among 80 compounds screened, six compounds, 12i, 13c, 14d, 14e, 14o, and 15d showed in vitro activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MABA) at a concentration of 50 and 25 microg/mL
