Synthesis and in vitro microbiological evaluation of an array of biolabile 2-morpholino-N-(4,6-diarylpyrimidin-2-yl)acetamides.

Biolabile 2-morpholino-N-(4,6-diarylpyrimidin-2-yl)acetamides 34-42 have been synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities. The minimum inhibitory concentration tested for the same compounds against the same set of bacterial and fungal strains shows that the compounds 36 and 38 against beta-Heamolytic streptococcus and Klebsiella pneumonia, 40 against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas, have excellent antibacterial activity. Compounds 36, 38 and 42 show inhibition against Aspergillus flavus, compound 41 against Microsporum gypsuem, 42 against Mucor, and compounds 39 and 40 against Rhizopus.
