Synthesis of 5‐cyano‐6‐(3‐pyridyl)‐2‐thiouracil (1) has been described from 3‐pyridinecarboxaldehyde, thiourea, and ethyl cyanoacetate. Alkylation of 1 with mono‐ and dihaloalkanes under different conditions, provided 2a,b, 3a,b , and 4a‐i . Halogenation of 4g with POCl 3 yielded 5 which underwent nucleophilic substitution with amines to give 6a‐g . Fusion of 4a with aromatic and heterocyclic amines at 160°C gave the substitution products 7a‐c . Some of the compounds were screened for antileishmanial activity but only one of them ( 6d ) demonstrated very significant activity.
