6-Heteryl-5-methylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2,4(1H,3H)-diones are of great interest as the promising objects for the search of antibacterials. In this communication, we obtained 6-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)-5-methyl-3-phenylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione by interaction of 6-(bromoacetyl)-5-methyl-3-phenylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione with 2-aminopyridine. The obtained heterocyclic hybrid was further modified by alkylation with 2-chloroarylacetamides. Antimicrobial activity studies for the synthesized compounds using the agar well diffusion method revealed their moderate activity against S. aureus, E. coli and B. subtilis. According to the double dilution assay MIC value results for 6-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)-5-methyl-3-phenylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dioneagainst P. aeruginosa was less than the value determined for the reference drug streptomycin. The docking study of the synthesized compounds to the active site of TrmD isolated from P. aeruginosa did not show their effective inhibitory activity.

magnified image The interaction of both 2‐iminocoumarin‐3‐carbonitriles and 2‐iminocoumarin‐3‐carbothioamides with 2‐aminothiophen‐3‐carboxamides lead to formation of 3‐(4‐oxo‐3,4‐dihydrothieno[2,3‐d]pyrimidin‐2‐yl)‐2‐iminocoumarins in two steps. The simplicity of the procedure, as well as the high yields of the target products make this method to be a good alternative of Knoevenagel condensation for the synthesis of 3‐(4‐oxo‐3,4‐dihydrothieno[2,3‐d]pyrimidin‐2‐yl)‐2‐iminocoumarins.

Syntheses of 3-(4-arylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2-yl)-2H-chromen-2-ones 5 by the reaction of 2-iminocoumarin-3-carboxamides 1 with (2-aminothiophen-3-yl)(aryl)methanones 2 and by the alternative Suzuki coupling of 4-chlorothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2-yl-2H-chromen-2-one 7 with arylboronic acids were developed. Compound 5d showed higher antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus than the reference drug streptomycin.
