USES OF
PYRIMIDINE
Various
pyrimidine derivatives have been developed as
chemotherapeutic agents and
some of the medicinal applications are as follows :
1.Antineoplastic agents: Pyrimidine derivatives
posseses anti-cancer activity for e.g. 5-floro uracil and
5-thioguanine drugs having guanine nucleus like
mercaptopurine thioquanine and azathioprine are also
useful as anti-metabolites. Gemcitabine a pyri-
midine antimetabolite has excellent antitumor activity.
2. Antihyperthyroidism : 2-Thiouracil and its alkyl
derivatives are effective against hy-
perthyroidism. Propyl thiouracil is a drug for
hyperthyroidism with minimum side effects.
3. As antibiotics : Pyrimidines are also example of some
antibiotics. These are active
against mycobacteria and various strains of Gram+ve
and Gram-ve bacteria. For e.g.
Bacimethrin Amicetin etc. Bleomycins & Tubercidine
also belongs to this category.
4. Antifungals : Pyrimidines also have antifungal
properties. Flucytosine is flourinated pyrimidine used in
the treatment of systemic fungal infections.
5.Anthelmentics : For example: Pyrantel pamoate is
effective in the treatment of para-sitic infections. This
drug causes paralysis in helminthes & used in treatment
of infection caused by pinworms & roundworms.
6.Antitubercular agents : Capreomycin is a second line
bacteriostatic drug having pyri-midine ring.
