Abstract:
Annulated pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized with methoxy, hydroxyl, nitrile and bromine substituents in its skeleton and correlated by electronic effect of substituents on the magnitude of antimicrobial activity. The different electron donating and electron withdrawing substituents of the pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives exerted positive influence on its antimicrobial activity against some Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria such as, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aureus and Escherichia coli, respectively. Antibacterial screening revealed that the presence of heteroaryl, cyano and amino groups on pyrano [2,3-d]pyrimidine skeleton increases its penetrating power on bacterial cell wall and becomes more biologically active. All the pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives were characterized by IR, 1HNMR, 13C NMR and mass spectra.
