New series of 6-phenyl-2,4-disubstituted pyrimidine-5-carbonitriles namely, 2-substitued thio-6-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-4-oxopyrimidine-5-carbonitriles (5a-d, 6, 7a-d, 8), 2-(4-chlorobenzylthio)-4-chloro-6-phenylpyrimidine-5-carbonitrile (9), 2-(4-chlorobenzylthio)-4-arylthio-6-phenylpyrimidine-5-carbonitriles (10a-d) and 2-(4-chlorobenzylthio)-4-arylamino-6-phenylpyrimidine-5-carbonitriles (11a-d) was synthesized and tested for in vitro activities against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and the yeast-like pathogenic fungus Candida albicans. Compounds 5b, 5c, 6, 7a, 7b, 7c, 9 and 11a displayed marked antibacterial activity particularly against the tested Gram-positive bacteria, while compounds 6, 7c, 7d and 9 were moderately or weakly active against C. albicans.

D021241 Spectrometry, Mass, Electrospray Ionization A mass spectrometry technique used for analysis of nonvolatile compounds such as proteins and macromolecules. The technique involves preparing electrically charged droplets from analyte molecules dissolved in solvent. The electrically charged droplets enter a vacuum chamber where the solvent is evaporated. Evaporation of solvent reduces the droplet size, thereby increasing the coulombic repulsion within the droplet. As the charged droplets get smaller, the excess charge within them causes them to disintegrate and release analyte molecules. The volatilized analyte molecules are then analyzed by mass spectrometry.
