Synthesis and biological evaluation of new thiazolopyrimidines.

In this study, a series of 4-amino-5-cyano-3-substituted-2,3-dihydrothiazol-2-thiones (1a-c), as well as their triazolo and triazinopyrimidine derivatives such as 8-substituted-3-benzyl-5-methylthiazolo[5,4-e][1,2,4] triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidin-2-thiones (4-6, 10) and 3-benzyl-5-methyl thiazolo[5,4-e]pyrimidino[3,4-b][1,2,4]triazin-2-thiones (7a-b) were prepared as potential antimicrobial and antitumor agents. Some of the tested compounds showed promising antimicrobial activity and non of them showed any appreciable antitumor activity.
