A number of amidine derivatives (3a-i) were synthesized by condensation of cyanopyridine and cyanopyrazine with sulfonylhydrazides in the presence of sodium methoxide. 2-Acetylpyridine and 4-acetylpyridine were condensed with sulfonylhydrazides by microwave irradiation in solid phase to give corresponding hydrazones (5a-d). Indole-3-carboxaldehyde was condensed with sulfonylhydrazides by refluxing in acetic acid to give corresponding condensation product (5e and f). All the compounds, that is, 3a-i and 5a-f were purified by crystallization or by column chromatography. Structures of all the synthesized compounds are supported by correct IR, (1)H NMR, mass spectral and analytical data. Anti-inflammatory activity evaluation was carried out using carrageenin-induced paw oedema assay and compounds 3e,f and 5e exhibited good anti-inflammatory activity, that is 52%, 37% and 38% at 50 mg/kg po, respectively. Analgesic activity evaluation was carried out using acetic acid writhing assay and compounds 3a,c,e and 5f showed good analgesic activity, that is, 50%, 50%, 50% and 60% at 50 mg/kg po, respectively.

Novel series of bicyclic pyrrolo[1,2-c]pyrimidines 3a-g, 5, 6a, b, and 7a, b, tricyclic pyrimido[5,4-e]pyrrolo[1,2-c]pyrimidines 8a-c, 9a-g, 13a-c, 17, 18a, b, 19, 20a,b and 21 and tetracyclic condensed pyrimidines 14, 22 and 23 were synthesized through different chemical reactions. Structures of all synthesized pyrimidine derivatives were supported by spectral and elemental analyses. Analgesic activity evaluation was carried out using acetic acid-induced writhing assay, and all compounds exerted comparable activity to indomethacin. The anti-inflammatory activity evaluation was performed using carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats, the potency of the bicyclic derivatives 3a-f and 7b revealed comparable activity to indomethacin without gastric ulceration. The tricyclic derivatives 13a and 20a exerted good activity, however, they induced gastric ulcers while 13b and 13c showed moderate activity without ulceration. In case of tetracyclic derivatives, compound 14 exhibited the highest potency and safety profile.

A number of pyrimidine derivatives (1-10) have been synthesized by condensation of 4-isothiocyanato-4-methylpentan-2-one with furfurylamine, histamine, 1-(3-aminopropyl)imidazole, 1-(3-aminopropyl)-2-pyrrolidinone, 2-aminobenzonitrile and 3-isothiocyanatobutanal with 1-(3-aminopropyl)-2-pyrrolidinone and 2-hydrazinopyridine under different reaction conditions. Various bispyrimidine derivatives (11-15) were obtained by condensation of 4-isothiocyanato-4-methylpentan-2-one with 2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5,5]undecane3,9-dipropamine (11'), 1,4-bis(3-aminopropyl)piperazine (13'), 3,5-diamino 1,2,4-triazole (15') and 3-isothiocyanatobutanal with 2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5,5]undecane 3,9-dipropamine, 1,4-bis(3-aminopropyl)piperazine. All these compounds were characterized by correct FT-IR, (1)H NMR, MS and elemental analysis. These compounds were screened for anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. Anti-inflammatory activity of 3 is comparable while analgesic activity was found to be better than that of standard drug.
