Abstract:
Background: Pyrimidine and hydrazones are well known for their therapeutic applications.
Objective: To investigate the antioxidant activities of compounds having pyrimidine and hydrazone motifs
in hope of finding molecules with robust antioxidant activities.
Methods: Hydrazones were obtained by condensing pyrimidine hydrazine with aromatic ketones. The structures
of these compounds were established on the basis of NMR, FTIR and mass spectral data analysis.
Results: All compounds were assessed for their antioxidant potential against DPPH, hydrogen peroxide,
nitric oxide and superoxide free radicals.
Conclusion: A series of twelve 2-(1-(substituted phenyl)ethylidene)-1-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)hydrazines
was synthesized and compounds 6d, 6e, 6h, and 6j found to have good antioxidant activities.
