Microwave-assisted synthesis, hypolipidemic and hypoglycemic activity of some novel 2-(4-(2-Amino-6-(4-substituted phenyl)-pyrimidin-4-yl)-phenoxy)-2-methyl propanoic acid derivatives.

A novel series of aminopyrimidines containing the phenoxy isobutyric acid group as a pharmacophore was synthesized using conventional and microwave assisted methods of synthesis. The compounds were synthesized in good yields (70-89%) by the microwave-assisted one-pot protocol in much shorter reaction times. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their hypolipidemic and hypoglycemic activity by high-fat diet-induced hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia in male Sprague-Dawley rats. The present investigation showed significant antihyperlipidemic and antihyperglycemic activity for all compounds of the series when compared with the standard drug. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) for the series were developed by comparing total lipid profile data of synthesized compounds with fenofibrate as standard drug.

Synthesis and anti-inflammatory activity of some 3-(4,6-disubtituted-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-5-yl) propanoic acid derivatives.

A series of 3-(4,6-disubtituted-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-5-yl) propanoic acid derivatives has been synthesized by condensation of thiourea, 5-(4-subtituted phenyl)-5-oxopentanoic acid and substituted aldehyde. The synthesized compounds were screened for their anti-inflammatory activity using rat paw edema method. Most of the compounds from the series showed significant (p <0.05) anti-inflammatory activity.
