Over the past era, development of small heterocycles as potential therapeutics has been a zone of major interest. A large number of pyrimidine derivatives are of considerable biological and chemical interest. Pyrimidine derivatives have shown numerous biological activities such as antimicrobial, antitubercular, anticancer, anticonvulsant, antidiabetic, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory. Being a heterocyclic compound, Pyrimidine finds its use for designing synthesis of newer biologically active structures, as its aromaticity makes it relatively stable, also reactive sites which allow for functionalization. Several amino derivatives of nitrogen-containing heterocycles such as pyrimidine, pyridine possess an antimicrobial activity. In this review, recent advancements in the antimicrobial activity of pyrimidine derivatives have been reported.
