Abstract
2-Substituted-5,7-dimethyl pyrido[2,3- d]pyrimidin-4(1 H)-ones ( 8) were synthesized by oxidation of 2-substituted-5,7-dimethyl dihydropyrido[2,3- d]pyrimidin-4(1 H)-ones ( 7) which were in turn prepared from 2-amino-4,6-dimethyl nicotinamide ( 5) and substituted aryl aldehydes ( 6). 2-Amino-4,6-dimethyl nicotinamide ( 5) was prepared from ethyl cyanoacetate ( 1) via malonamamidine hydrochloride ( 3). The compounds were characterized by IR, NMR, MS and elemental analyses. Compounds 7 and 8 were screened for antibacterial activity against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. Dehydrogenated compounds ( 8) showed less antibacterial activity than the compounds 7. Among all the test compounds screened for antibacterial activity 7c (1.25 μg/ml) showed greater activity. All the synthesized compounds were found inactive when screened for antifungal activity at the concentration of 200 μg/ml.
