Objective: Antioxidant capacity and antibacterial activity of a series of new pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidines were investigated
Material and Method: All these novel compounds were screened for their in vitro antioxidant effectiveness using DPPH radical scavenging test and the antibacterial activity was determined using the both microdilution method according to The European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing standards as a minimal inhibition concentration against some Gram positive and negative ATCC strains.
Result and Discussion: As a result, some of the selected compounds showed weak to moderate antioxidant activity. MIC values of all compounds were found > 100 µg/ml against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 43300, Enterococcus faecalis 29212, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 13883, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853.
