Introduction

Sulfadiazine is one of the antibiotic drugs that belong to the sulfonamide group; it has been utilized in veterinary and human therapy over 60 years [1]. Also, it is utilized for the treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs) [2], and in clinic as a topical agent either alone or in combination with other compounds in the treatment of wound and burn infections [3]. Thiazoles are a group of heterocyclic compounds that possess a wide variety of biological activities and

their utility as medicaments is very much established [4]. The applications of thiazoles were found in drug development for the treatment of inflammation, bacterial, allergies, HIV infections hypertension, schizophrenia, hypnotics and in the treatment of pain [5]. Barbituric acid, or pyrimidine-2,4,6-(1H,3H,5H)-trione,H3BA, that contains five hetero atoms (three O and two N) is commonly known as barbiturates [6]. It was prepared by Adolf Von Baeyer in 1864 from a combination of the urea and malonic acid [7]. Barbituric acid has been extensively utilized in

biological and medical studiws for many years, the best known of which is their sedative activity in the central nervous system [8]. They are a favour in medicinal chemistry as anticonvulsants, sedatives, hypnotics and anxiolytic agents [9].

Experimental

All reagents and solvents were purchased from commercial sources and used without purification. Melting points (m.p.) were recorded using Electro thermal melting point apparatus (UK). Fourier-transform infrared spectra were recorded using Shimadzu FTIR-8400S infrared spectrophotometer by KBr disc (Kufa University). Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (13C-NMR) were recorded by Bruker spectrometer, operating at (400MHZ for 1HNMR and 75 MHZ for 13C NMR ) with DMSO-d6 as a solvent (Abu Ali Center Lab, Mashhad, Iran). Thin layer chromatography (TLC) was performed on aluminum plates and coated with a layer of (0.25 mm) silica gel; compounds were detected by iodine vapor. Autoclave was used to sterilize agar media, supplied by Prestige Medical-England. Incubator was used to maintain different temperatures required for the growth of organism, supplied by Memert-Germany.

Test of biological activity

Bacterial suspension was prepared from used bacteria and compared with McFarland tube 1.5 × 108 cell/mL which refers to the sensitivity prepared and the number of bacteria cultivated. Bacterial suspension was spread on Muller Hinton Agar homogeneously (0.1 mL) to cover the whole medium. Afterwards, three holes were made in the paten dish by the cork piercing to diameter of 6 mm at the concentration used. Diluted solutions of 0,03 and 0.06 mg/mL were prepared for each compound at pH 7. Then, the concentrated solutions prepared from chemical compounds were put in holes to reveal their effectiveness of biological activity. The paten dish was incubated at temperature 37 °C for 24 h. Finally, the diameter of inhibition zone for each disc was measured by the ruler to determine the effectiveness of each compound and compare it with the standard limits of sensitivity of the same species of bacteria against antibiotics [16].

To examine the antifungal activity, 0,03 and 0.06 mg/mL of synthesized compounds were dissolved in 5 mL dimethyl sulfoxide as solvent, and evaluated in vitro employing the filter paper disc method against Candida albicans and Aspergillus flavus by measuring inhibition zone in millimetre [17].

Results and Discussion

In this research, a series of new barbituric acid derivatives [RB1]-[RB4] containing thiazole moiety were synthesized from sulfa drug. Sulfadiazine is the starting material for this research, it was converted to 2-chloro-N-(4-(N-pyrimidin-2-ylsulfamoyl)phenyl)acetamide [A] by the reaction with chloroacetyl chloride and triethylamine in DMF as solvent. The synthesized compound [A] was characterized by sodium fusion test and the result was positive. The chlorine element was identified using saturated solution of AgNO3 reagent; white precipitate was observed, which was due to the presence of chlorine in compound [A]. FTIR spectrum showed the disappearance of one absorption band at 3425 cm-1 which was due to the stretching vibrations of -NH2 group of sulfadiazine, the remaining of the band at 3381 cm-1 which was due to the N-H group of amide, the absorption band at

3080 cm-1 which was attributed to the -CH2 group, the absorption band at 1670 cm-1 due to the stretching band of C=O amide group, and the absorption band at 665 cm-1 due to the stretching band of C-Cl group. All these changes in absorption bands are good evidence to the formation of compound [A].

The compound 4-(2-aminothiazol-4-ylamino)-N-(pyrimidin-2-yl) benzene sulfonamide [B] was prepared by the reaction of [A] with thiourea and anhydrous potassium carbonate (Scheme 1). The structure of 4-(2-aminothiazol-4-ylamino)-N-(pyrimidin-2-yl) benzene sulfonamide [B ]was confirmed by FTIR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR.

The FTIR spectrum of [B] showed absorption of the band at 3394-3358 cm-1 due to the NH2 group and absence of the band at 665 cm-1 due to C–Cl for compound [A]. The appearance of stretching vibration band at 3275 cm-1 was due to the -NH group. FTIR showed absorption peaks at 1543 cm-1 (C=C thiazole), 1583 cm-1 (C=C aromatic), 1622 cm-1 (C=N thiazole) and 1662 cm-1(C=N pyrimidine).

1H-NMR spectrum (DMSO-d6, δ ppm) of [B]: 7.25 (s, 2H, NH2 ), 5.33 (s, 1H, C-5 thiazole), 7.46-7.71 (m, 4H, Ar-H), 11.48 (s, 1H, NH-SO2), and 10.46 (s, 1H, NH).

Compound [R] was synthesized by treatment of 4-(2-aminothiazol-4-ylamino)-N-(pyrimidin-2-yl) benzene sulfonamide [B] with chloro acetyl chloride using triethylamine as a base triethylamine in DMF.

FTIR spectrum (KBr, cm-1) of [R] showed appearance of absorption bands at 3404 cm-1 of stretching vibration of rhe NH group, and absorption bands at 2924 and 657 cm-1 of stretching vibrations of -CH2 and C-Cl groups, respectively. Absorption band at 1674 cm-1 was due to the stretching vibration of C=O amide group. FTIR showed absorption peaks at 1543 cm-1 for C=C thiazole, and at 1593 cm1 for C=C aromatic.

1H-NMR spectrum (DMSO-d6, δ ppm) of [R]: 8.52 (s, 1H, NH amide), 4.37 (s, 2H,CH2–Cl), 5.33 (s, 1H, C-5 thiazole), 7.39-7.73 (m, 4H, Ar-H), 12.47 (s,1H, NH-SO2), and 11.36 (s, 1H, NH).

1,3-bis(hydroxyl methyl) barbituric acid derivatives [B1]-[B2] were prepared from the reaction of 5,5-diethyl barbituric acid and 5-phenyl,5-ethyl barbituric acid with formaldehyde. According to the FTIR spectrum for [B1] , H-bonding of the OH)band was a broad peak at 3452 cm-1. The absorption band at 1674 cm-1 was due to the -C=O amide group, and the absorption bands at 1714 and 1766 cm-1 was due to the stretching vibration for -C=O barbituric acid. And for compound [B2], the H-bonding of OH band was at 3464 cm-1; the C=O group of amide was shown at 1635 cm-1. Also, absorption band was at 1724 cm-1 for -C=O barbituric acid.

Williamson etherification of 2-chloro-N-(4-(4-(N-pyrimidin-2 ylsulfamoyl)phenyl- amino)thiazol-2-yl)acetamide [R] with [B1]-[B2] in DMF as solvent and the presence of NaOH offered [RB1]-[RB2] in very good yields, while the compounds [RB3]-[RB4] were prepared from the reaction of intermediates [R] with 5,5-diethylbarbituric acid and 5-ethyl-5-phenyl barbituric acid.

Ant ibac te r i a l ac t iv i ty o f t he syn thes i zed compounds was tested against three types of bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus as a gram-positive bacterium, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa as gram-negative bacteria by using Muller Hinton Agar medium. The prepared compounds [B], [R], [RB1], [RB2], [RB3] and [RB4] were measured for zone of

inhibition around each disc. Solvent control (DMSO) did not inhibit bacteria or fungi. The test results are presented in Table 2 and Fig. 1, which showed that [B] and [R] exhibited high antibacterial active against S. aureous, P. aeruginosa and E. coli at 0.03 and 0.06 mg/mL. Compound [RB1] exhibited high antibacterial active against P. aeruginosa, and it was moderately active against E. coli whereas inactive against S.

Conclusions

This research involved the synthesis of some new barbituric acid derivatives and the study of antimicrobial activity of the prepared compounds. FTIR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR techniques confirmed formation of these derivatives. Antifungal activities of the synthesized compounds were observed against two types of fungi, Candida albicans and Aspergillus flavus using PDA medium. Some of the synthesized compounds were shown to be highly active at 0.03 mg/mL whereas moderately active at 0.06 mg/mL.
