A series of novel 3-4-[2-hydroxy-5-(4-hydroxy-3-2-[2-(aryl)-4-oxo-1,3-thiazolan-3-yl]-6-phenyl-4-pyrimidinylbenzyl)phenyl]-6-phenyl-2-pyrimidinyl-2-(aryl)-1,3-thiazolan-4-ones 5(a-j) have been synthesized and assayed for their antibacterial activity against B. subtilis, B. sphaericus, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, K. Aerogenes and C. violaceum. The inhibition zones and minimal inhibitory concentrations were measured and compared with the streptomycin. The antibacterial screening data reveal that the compounds containing 4-nitrophenyl (5c), 3-nitrophenyl (5d), 4-dimethylaminophenyl (5g) and 1,3-benzodioxole (5j) moiety at 2-position of the thiazolidin-4-one ring exhibited potent inhibitory activity towards all the tested microorganism, which is higher than streptomycin. The other compounds also showed moderate to good activity.
