species of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria used in the
study. Compounds 4a–j were found to be more active than Tetra-
cycline against B. pumilus, M. luteus, S. mutans, E. coli, and P. aeru-
ginosa. Almost, all of the compounds were found to be more
active than Gentamicin against all tested strains. Compounds 7a–
f were found to be more active than Tetracycline against B. pumilus,
E. coli, and P. aeruginosa. The results indicate that introduction of
–Cl and –Br at aldehyde moiety, thereby producing analogues 4b
and 4c, respectively, decrease the activity against E. faecalis and
S. aureu (MIC: 30, 32, 58, 64 lg/ml). On the other hand, in other
cases of each class of products, types of substitution on aldehyde
moiety have not affected the antibacterial activity. 1,3-Diphenyl-
4,9-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[40,30:5,6]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-5,7(6H,
8H)-diones 4a–e were more active than the corresponding ones of
the series 7a–c, reinforcing the pharmacophoric contribution of
carbonyl moiety relative to thiocarbonyl moiety to the mechanism
of action against the all of the tested bacteria except 4b,c against E.
faecalis and S. aureus. Decreasing of the activity was observed in the
case of 4f–g relative to 4a–e due to replacing H by NO2 on N-phe-
nyl ring in pyrazole moiety except 4b,c against E. faecalis and S.
aureus.
In summary, the synthesis and screening of antibacterial activ-
ity for a novel series of pyrazolo[40,30:5,6]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-
dione derivatives was investigated. Almost most of the compounds
exhibited good to excellent antibacterial activity against all the
tested strains.

pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione (4a):
A mixture of barbituric acid
(1 mmol), 1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-amine (1 mmol), benzaldehyde (1.2 mmol)
and p-TSA (0.1 g) was heated at 100 °C for 4 h (TLC). After cooling, the reaction
mixture was washed with water (15 ml) and residue recrystallized from EtOH to
afford the pure product 4a. White powder (83%); mp: 297 °C dec. IR (KBr) (mmax
