towards E. coli. The diethyl chain in the triazinyl
nucleus 5a showed the highest activity towards B.
megaterium and S. typhosa but diminished in the pres-
ence of chlorine when present with the pyrimidine
structure 6a.
A perusal of the data in Table 2 indicates that
compounds having halogen at 3 and/or 4 position (5d,
5f, 6e, 6f) showed maximum antitubercular activity up
to 92% inhibition. MIC data of these compounds
showed 5i to be highly potent with a MIC value of 6.25
mg. The rest of the compounds displayed their activity
in the range of 12.5 mg. However, none of the com-
pounds could match the activity of the rifampicin.
added dropwise at 0 °C and followed by increasing
temperature but keeping the pH of the solution just
about 7 by occasional addition of saturated solution of
sodium bicarbonate. After completion of the addition,
the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature
(r.t.) for 4 h maintaining the pH at 7. The content was
then poured onto ice, filtered and crystallized from
ethanol. Yield 70%.

3. Chemical experimental section
A mixture of 5-cyano-2-hydrazino-3-N-methyl-6-
phenyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-4-one (2.41 g, 0.01 mol)
and 2,4-bisethylamino-6-chloro-s-triazine (2.01 g, 0.01
mol) in dioxane (25 ml) was refluxed for 3 h during
which solution of sodium bicarbonate (0.84 g, 0.01 mol)
was added in fractions. The content was then poured
onto crushed ice, product isolated was crystallized from
absolute alcohol. Yield 63%, m.p. 225 °C.
Melting points were determined in open capillaries
and are uncorrected, purity of the compounds was
checked by TLC. IR (KBr) spectra were recorded on a
Nicolet-Magna-IR 550 Series-II spectrophotometer and
1H-NMR spectra were recorded on a BRUKER spec-
trometer 300 MHz using TMS as an internal standard.
