Effect of thio- and hydrazino-derivatives of uracil, 6-azauracil and 6-azathymine on the growth of some microorganisms in vitro.

Abstract

The antibacterial activity of 2-thiouracil, 2-methylthiouracil, 2-hydrazinouracil, 2,4-dithiouracil, 2-thio-4-hydrazinouracil, 2-thio-6-azathymine, 2-hydrazino-6-azathymine, 2,4-dithio-6-azathymine, 2-thio-4-hydrazino-6-azathymine, 2,4-dimethylthio-6-azathymine, 2-methylthio-4-hydrazino-6-azathymine, 4-thio-6-azauracil and 4-hydrazino-6-azauracil has been studied on the growth of: Staphylococcus aureus 209, Streptococcus faecalis 775, Escherichiia coli 387, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Candida tropicalis and Neurospora crassa 9863. The highest inhibitory effect was observed with 4-hydrazino-derivatives of 2-thiouracil, 6-azauracil and 2-thio-6-azathymine.
