Abstract A new class of thiazolopyrimidine-based sulfonamides (5aj) was synthesized from a parent compound
2-methoxy benzoic acid by multistep reaction in order to
find new agents to fight against microbial infections.
Substituted thiazolopyrimidines (3ae) were prepared by
cyclocondensation of substituted thiazolidinediones (2a
e) with urea in the presence of acid catalyst P2O5. Finally,
desired compounds (5aj) were synthesized from intermediates (4ae) prepared from compounds (3ae) by
chlorosulfonation followed by condensation with corresponding benzothiazole moiety. The synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR
spectral data, and elemental analysis, and were evaluated
for in vitro antimicrobial activity against certain bacterial
and fungal strains using the broth microdilution method as
well as antitubercular activity against H37Rv using
LowensteinJensen agar method.

Introduction
Pyrimidines represent an important class of heterocycles
with a wide range of biological applications (Cumming
et al., 2004; Jain et al., 2006; Chan et al., 2005), and their
structural framework is a key constituent of numerous
natural biologically active compounds. One possible reason
for their activity is the presence of a pyrimidine base in
thymine, cytosine, and uracil, which are essential building
blocks of nucleic acids i.e., DNA and RNA. Some heterocycles containing pyrimidine moiety are reported to
show a broad spectrum of pharmacological properties such
as antimicrobial (Kanth et al., 2006), antiviral and anticancer (Andreani et al., 2002) analgesic, anti-inflammatory
(Boyle et al., 2001), and anti-HIV (Rawal et al., 2007). In
addition, fused pyrimidine derivatives such as thiazolopyrimidines (Sherif et al., 1993), thienopyrimidines (Hafez
and El-Gazzar, 2008), and pyridopyrimidines (Wu et al.,
2008) are also valuable as pharmacological aspects. It has
been noticed that the introduction of different heterocyclic
moieties to the pyrimidine core tends to exert profound
influence in conferring novel biological activities in this
molecule.
One of the important classes of fused pyrimidine ring is
thiazolo-pyrimidine and its analogs. Thiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-5,7-dione analogs, especially, have been described as
having antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory activity (Bekhit
et al., 2003), and anticancer activity (Fahmy et al., 2003).
2-Aminothiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidines, that act as CXCR2
receptor antagonists, are also well known (Baxter et al.,
2006; Walters et al., 2007).
Literature survey revealed that the sulfonamide moiety
is a common pharmacophore found in diverse biologically
active molecules (Scozzafava et al., 2003). The sulfonamide nucleus is associated with diverse pharmacodynamic

Antifungal activity was screened against three fungal species Candida albicans MTCC 227, Aspergillus niger
MTCC 282, and Aspergillus clavatus MTCC 1323, and
griseofulvin was used as a standard antifungal agent.
Minimum Inhibition concentrations (MICs for fungus) of
the synthesized compounds are shown in Table 1. Results
reveal that most of the compounds 2a, 2d, 2e, 3b, 5a, 5b,
and 5c possessed good antifungal activity (500 lg/ml)
which is equipotent to griseofulvin, some compounds 5d,
5e, 5g, and 5h displayed higher antifungal activity
(200250 lg/ml) against C. albicans, whereas all the
synthesized intermediates and final compounds showed
poor activity against both A. niger and A. clavatus in
comparison to griseofulvin.

Experimental
All the reagents and solvents were purchased from commercial suppliers Ficher Scientific Ltd. and Rankem India
Ltd. All the solvents were dried and distilled before use.
Melting points were determined in open capillaries on
PMPDM scientific melting point apparatus and are
uncorrected. The progress of each reaction and the purity
of the compounds were monitored by ascending TLC on
silica gel G (Merk), visualized by iodine vapor or UV light.
The IR spectra (in potassium bromide pellets) were
recorded on a Thermo Scientific Nicolet iS10 FT-IR
spectrometer, and the wave numbers were given in cm-1.
The 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra were recorded
(CDCl3/DMSO-d6 mixture) on a Bruker Avance II 400
NMR spectrometer. Chemical shifts (d) are reported in
parts per million (ppm) using TMS as an internal standard.
The splitting pattern abbreviations are designed as s, singlet; d, doublet; dd, double doublet; t, triplet; q, quartet; m,
multiplet; and br, broad. The mass spectra were recorded
on micromass QT of micro (TOF MS ES?). Microanalysis
of the compounds was done on a Heraeus Carlo Erba 1180
CHN analyzer, and the values were recorded within
0.5 % of the theoretical values. All spectral data were
consistent with the proposed structure.

In vitro evaluation of antimicrobial activity
The MICs of synthesized compounds were carried out by
the broth microdilution method (Rattan, 2000). DMSO was
used as diluents to get desired concentration of drugs to test
upon standard bacterial strains. Serial dilutions were prepared in primary and secondary screening. The control tube
containing no antibiotic was immediately sub cultured
(before inoculation) by spreading a loop evenly over a
quarter of plate of medium suitable for the growth of the
test organism and put for incubation at 37 C overnight.
The tubes were then incubated overnight. The MIC of the
control organism was read to check the accuracy of the
drug concentrations. The lowest concentration inhibiting
growth of the organism was recorded as the MIC. All the
tubes not showing visible growth (in the same manner as
control tube described above) were subcultured and incubated overnight at 37 C. The amount of growth from the
control tube before incubation (which represents the original inoculum) was compared. Subcultures might show
similar number of colonies indicating bacteriostatic activity; a reduced number of colonies indicate a partial or slow
bactericidal activity and no growth if the whole inoculum
has been killed. The test must include a second set of the
same dilutions inoculated with an organism of known
sensitivity. Each synthesized drug was diluted obtaining
2,000 lg/ml concentration, as a stock solution. In primary
screening, 500, 250, and 125 lg/ml concentrations of the
synthesized drugs were taken. The active synthesized drugs
found in this primary screening were further tested in a
second set of dilution against all microorganisms. The
drugs found active in primary screening were similarly
diluted to obtain 100, 50, 25, 12.5, 6.250, 3.125, and
1.5625 lg/ml concentrations. The highest dilution showing
at least 99 % inhibition is taken as MIC.
In vitro evaluation of antitubercular activity
Drug susceptibility and determination of MIC of the test
compounds against M. tuberculosis H37Rv were performed
by L. J. agar (MIC) method (Rattan, 2000) where primary
123
1000, 500, and 250 lg/ml and secondary 200, 100, 62.5, 50,
25, 12.5, 6.25, and 3.25 lg/ml dilutions of each test compound were added liquid L. J. Medium and then media were
sterilized by inspissations method. A culture of M. tuberculosis H37Rv growing on LowensteinJensen medium was
harvested in 0.85% saline in bijou bottles. All test compounds starting from a stock solution of 2,000 lg/ml concentration of compounds were prepared in DMSO. These
tubes were then incubated at 37 C for 24 h followed by
streaking of M. tuberculosis H37Rv (5 9 104 bacilli per
tube). These tubes were then incubated at 37 C. Growth of
bacilli was seen after 12 days, 22 days, and finally 28 days
of incubation. Tubes having the compounds were compared
with control tubes where medium alone was incubated with
M. tuberculosis H37Rv. The concentration at which no
development of colonies occurred or\20 colonies noted was
taken as MIC concentration of test compound. The standard
strain M. tuberculosis H37Rv was tested with known drug
rifampicin.
Conclusion
Two series of thiazolopyrimidine analogs were synthesized
and screened as new potential antitubercular and antimicrobial agents against wide range of pathogenic bacteria,
fungi, and mycobacteria. All the synthesized compounds
have been investigated for their antimicrobial and antimycobacterial activities. Most of the synthesized compounds
show significant activity against gram-positive bacteria
S. aureus, especially 5b, 5f having F and N(CH3)2 moieties,
respectively, exhibited the highest activity. Compounds 5a
and 5b having N(CH3)2 and F-substituted thiocyanato
benzathiazole compounds also show promising activity
against E.coli. Compound 5a bearing N(CH3)2 displays the
highest activity against S. pyogenes, and only compounds
5e, 5g, 5j show comparable activity against P. aeruginosa.
The antitubercular results reveal that compounds 5a and 5f
bearing N(CH3)2 and benzothiazole moieties showed better
antitubercular activity compared to rifampicin.
